Hey Team, couple things:
Thanks for helping with the open, as previously stated in Sunday’s post. Especially judging. Judging is demanding and requires constant focus, this isn’t an easy job so we’d like to thank you for that. If a peer is judging you, try to return the favor and judge the same person or somebody else. It also takes some of the load of myself, Em or other coaches.

Let’s try to keep the open workouts to open gym times as much as possible. I know sometimes it might not be possible but let’s try to reinforce it.

In the last 2 weeks we had a lot of people debating between doing Rx or scaled. In my opinion the open is more like a test, kinda like a benchmark, this is meant to push you beyond your comfort zone. Going out of your comfort zone is crucial in order to develop and get better. The thing is, lets say you can’t do one toe to bar for example, then you’re just not there yet so there is still a place for scaled. From what we saw, a lot of you pushed beyond what you thought you could do in a safe way and this is awesome. This is what this is about. If you look at the scaled version and you’re telling yourself this is too easy then go Rx. If your goal is just to get a workout out of it and Rx would block you half way through then scaled is great for you. If you’re not sure what to do, make sure you ask us and we’ll be able to guide you. More importantly, have fun
