What is Open 20.1 Rx?

Open 20.1 launched the first fall Open with a 180-rep metronome test: ten identical rounds of light ground-to-overheads and bar-facing burpees. 'Ground-to-overhead' means athlete's choice - snatch it or clean-and-jerk it - which became the workout's defining strategic fork. Nothing here is hard; doing it ten times without decayed round splits is. It's the purest round-consistency audit in the modern Open catalog.

Tips & Strategy

Snatch it if your shoulders allow - one movement beats two at 95/65 - in unbroken 8s for as long as honest, then fast singles with zero walk-around. Burpees at one rhythm for all 100: step-over pace you could theoretically double. Check your split every odd round; if round 5 is 10+ seconds slower than round 1, the finish will be ugly. Top scores treat this as a 12-minute interval session they refuse to leave.

Scaled & Beginner Versions

Scaled: 65/45 lb ground-to-overheads and regular burpees.
