CrossFit Open 2023: Unveiling the 23.2 Workout
New Jersey Sets the Stage for an Intense Battle
As the CrossFit Open 2023 progresses, athletes around the world are eagerly anticipating the release of each week’s workout. Week two brought with it the unveiling of 23.2, which was announced live by CrossFit HQ on February 23, 2023 at 1 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. The announcement was accompanied by a thrilling display of athleticism, as CrossFit Games Men’s runners-up Patrick Vellner and Roman Khrennikov faced off in a showcase battle.
The 23.2 workout is divided into two parts, each presenting its own unique challenges. Part A requires athletes to tackle a combination of burpee pull-ups and shuttle runs, testing their endurance and agility. Part B, on the other hand, is all about strength, as athletes strive to achieve a one-rep max thruster. With these two components, 23.2 promises to push athletes to their limits and separate the top performers from the rest of the pack.
