What is a good score for Open 13.2?

Good scores for Open 13.2 depend on your fitness level: Elite athletes achieve over 90 reps, advanced athletes target 150 reps-90 reps, intermediate athletes aim for 210 reps-150 reps, and beginners should focus on proper form over hitting 210 reps.

What is considered a good Open 13.2 score?

A good Open 13.2 score for most CrossFit athletes is between 210 reps-150 reps (intermediate level). Elite scores are over 90 reps, but focus on consistent movement and proper form rather than just numbers.

What should I aim for in Open 13.2?

Your Open 13.2 target should match your fitness level. Beginners should aim for around 210 reps with good form, while advanced athletes can target 150 reps-90 reps. Always prioritize proper movement over maximum reps.

How do I scale Open 13.2?

Open 13.2 can be scaled by reducing weights, modifying movements (like assisted pull-ups), or adjusting volume. Consult with a coach for personalized scaling options.

What muscles does Open 13.2 work?

Open 13.2 is a full-body workout that develops multiple fitness domains.

Workout Description

AMRAP in 10 minutes: 5 Shoulder-to-Overheads (115/75 lb) 10 Deadlifts (115/75 lb) 15 Box Jumps (24/20 in)

Why This Workout Is Medium

Simple movements, light barbell, and a short 10-minute window make this accessible. The challenge comes from cycling the barbell efficiently and maintaining a fast, steady rhythm on box jumps without redlining. Expect moderate breathing, grip and posterior chain fatigue, and shoulder pump. Strategy and pacing drive scores more than peak strength or high-skill gymnastics.

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

Stamina (8/10): High total reps with repeated pressing and pulling tax muscular endurance of shoulders, hips, and posterior chain. The barbell should be unbroken; stamina determines whether pace can be sustained across all rounds.
Speed (7/10): Fast cycling and quick transitions are rewarded. Athletes balance speed with sustainability—moving fast enough to accumulate rounds without spiking heart rate or missing reps on box jumps.
Power (6/10): Explosive hip and leg drive for shoulder-to-overhead, dynamic opening on deadlifts, and springy box jumps reward athletic pop. Power output must be repeatable rather than maximal to avoid early redline.
Endurance (6/10): Ten minutes of continuous work emphasizes aerobic power more than long-duration endurance. Athletes must breathe rhythmically and resist spikes in heart rate while keeping transitions short and movement cadence consistent.
Strength (3/10): Loads are intentionally light relative to typical CrossFitters, favoring barbell cycling over maximal strength. Strength matters only insofar as it supports unbroken sets and crisp mechanics under fatigue.
Flexibility (2/10): Standard ranges of motion: full hip and knee extension, overhead lockout, and neutral spine. Mobility helps bar path efficiency and rebound on box jumps but is not a limiting factor for most athletes.

Scaling Options

Scale to: 75/55 lb and 20/16 in • 95/65 lb with step-ups (24/20 in) • 8-minute AMRAP at 95/65 lb and 24/20 in

Scaling Explanation

These options preserve the stimulus—steady, unbroken barbell work with continuous cadence on the box—by adjusting load, height, or duration to maintain movement quality and pace.

Intended Stimulus

A fast, repeatable pace with unbroken barbell sets and smooth, rhythmic box jumps. You should feel slightly uncomfortable but never out of control. Breathing stays steady, transitions are immediate, and movement quality remains crisp. The goal is consistent rounds without slowing in minutes 7–10.

Coach Insight

Pace the box jumps from the start—find a cadence you can hold without pauses. Keep the barbell unbroken and minimize setup time. Most important: quick transitions. Finish the box, step straight to the bar, and go—no wandering. Common mistakes: opening too hot on box jumps, pausing before the barbell, and lazy lockouts on shoulder-to-overhead that cause no-reps.

Benchmark Notes

Each full round is 30 reps. Hitting 6–8 rounds (180–240 reps) indicates solid pacing and unbroken barbell sets. Newer athletes may land around 3–5 rounds. Advanced and elite athletes push 9–11 rounds by minimizing rest, fast transitions, and steady box jump cadence.

Modality Profile

Two barbell movements (shoulder-to-overhead and deadlifts) represent weightlifting, but the time sink is often the box jumps, a bodyweight gymnastics movement. No monostructural components are present. Expect most time spent on box work with quick, efficient barbell sets.
