Open WOD 21.2 Coming at You!

Get excited, everyone! CrossFit Open workout 21.2 has been released—and if it looks familiar, that’s because it’s a repeat of 17.1 back in 2017. We’ve also covered these movements in our recent programming. 

This week features a couplet of single arm alternating dumbbell snatches and burpee box jump-overs. It’s a lot of volume, BUT: we have a version for you, regardless of how new or experienced you are. For newer folks that have joined in the last 3 months, we’ll scale the dumbbell weight, the burpee style, and overall volume. 

Some advice on the workout:

  • Pace yourself! This is a long workout and most folks will not finish before the 20 minute time cap. Don’t go too fast during the first couple rounds of burpees especially. Start off at a moderate pace and, if you continue to feel great, gradually speed up each round. 

  • Save your back! In 2017, lots of folks had sore backs after the workout. Set your back off the ground for each snatch. Keep your chest up and your butt down and use those legs to propel the dumbbell up instead of your back. 

  • Check out this advice from when this workout originally appeared in 2017.

Coach Kim also wanted to share a pep talk (check out the full text on Instagram and Facebook!): 

With everything that’s happened in the past 12 months, I haven’t been too excited about the Open this year. But when 21.2 was announced as a repeat of 17.1, I was reminded of where I was in 2017, and reminded that I “get” to do this, and for that I am grateful. I have my health, two working shoulders, a great gym community at Fog City, and because I am 4 years older, I get to use a 20 pound DB and do step ups!

I hope to see you out there tomorrow, getting your fitness in.  Whether or not you care about your score or how you measure against others, I find these types of workouts are good to see where we stand right now.


We look forward to seeing you tomorrow morning!

Open WOD 21.1 is Here!

It’s that time of year again! The CrossFit Open has started and the first workout has been announced! This workout features one movement that has been in every Open (double-unders) and one that is brand new (wall walk). Here is the full workout:

21.1, For time (time cap = 15 minutes):

3 wall walks

6 wall walks

60 double-unders

Never fear, we have scaling options to make sure that you get in a great workout.

  • For those who have been doing wall walks during our “for quality” sessions, give this one a go at RX.

  • If you’re not comfortable walking all the way up the wall, you can perform the scaled version, which allows you to walk partially up the wall and then back down.

  • If you’re not comfortable on the wall, there is also a bear crawl option. 

  • You can start scaling at anytime during the workout. Your judge can note your score when you switch.

  • The most important thing is to move well throughout the workout. Many of us will be resting a fair amount in order to complete the wall walks.

When you arrive for your class tomorrow, sign up for a heat time on the whiteboard. There will be a warm-up for you to follow to prep your body (especially your shoulders and your calves). You will also be judging/counting/cheering on someone else during a different heat.

More details and the movement standards are on the CrossFit Games website. Remember, if you want to be eligible for Fog City swag, make sure to log your scores in Beyond the Whiteboard!

Happy International Women's Day!

At FCCF, we are fortunate to count many strong women among our members. In fact, the majority of our members are women AND the majority of our board of directors are women. Now THAT’S girl power.

In and out of the gym, these women inspire us, push us, support us, and guide us. They are leaders and teammates. Thank you for being you, women of FCCF.

Sweaty Saturday: Team "Cameron"

Modified Team “Cameron”

For those who are relatively new to the community, we often employ workouts that are named after servicepeople who’ve given their lives to preserve our freedoms. This week, we honor U.S. Coast Guard Lieutenant Junior Grade Thomas Cameron, 24, of Portland, OR. In training at the Aviation Training Center in Mobile, AL on February 28, 2012, Cameron died when his unit’s helicopter crashed into Mobile Bay in the Gulf of Mexico during a training mission.

We have modified the original workout slightly and added the partner component since that’s what we do on Saturdays. Enjoy!
