The 2025 CrossFit Open features intense WODs focusing on thrusters, rows, and community spirit.

The CrossFit community is buzzing with excitement as preparations ramp up for the 2025 CrossFit Open. Athletes are gearing up for two challenging Workouts of the Day (WOD) released on January 19, 2025, designed to test their strength, endurance, and strategy.

The first WOD, titled `250117`, features an intense 10 rounds for time, consisting of 9 thrusters and 35 double-unders. With weights set at 65 lb for women and 95 lb for men, competitors must manage their heart rates effectively to complete the workout in under 20 minutes. Scaling options are available, allowing athletes to adjust barbell loading, switch to dumbbells, or modify movements to accommodate injuries.

The second WOD, `250118`, draws inspiration from the classic CrossFit workout `Jackie`. This workout includes a 1,000-meter row, 50 deadlifts (95 lb for women and 135 lb for men), and 30 handstand push-ups, with a target completion time of 10 minutes or less. Athletes can scale this workout by reducing barbell weights, opting for sumo or dumbbell deadlifts, and modifying handstand push-ups to pike or standard push-ups. For those dealing with injuries, alternatives like the Echo bike or ski erg are suggested, along with modifications for deadlifts and push-ups.

As the excitement builds, athletes are encouraged to register for the 2025 CrossFit Open, emphasizing the community spirit and competitive nature of this prestigious event.
