Open 11.5 Rx

The Workout

Primary movement: Cleans/T2B/WB

What is Open 11.5 Rx?

Open 11.5 was 2011's engine finale: a 20-minute triplet mixing a moderately heavy power clean with toes-to-bar and wall balls. The round is small (30 reps) but the clean weight - 145/100 - is just heavy enough that it can't be rushed when tired, making bar management the strategic heart of the workout. It remains one of the best templates for long mixed AMRAPs: cardio, grip and barbell in permanent negotiation.

Tips & Strategy

Cleans as quick singles all 20 minutes - touch-and-go at 145/100 for 15+ rounds is a grip mortgage you can't pay. T2B in 5-5 before your grip decides for you. Wall balls unbroken as long as honest, then 8-7. The score battle is rounds 8-12, when everything feels equally bad: hold your round pace (90-105 seconds) mechanically.

Scaled & Beginner Versions

Scaled: 95/65 lb cleans, hanging knee raises, 14/10 lb ball. Beginner: 15-minute version with light dumbbells and sit-ups.
