Announcement of the Workout
“Week 2 starts now! Live from CrossFit Black Edition in Portugal, Dave Castro has revealed the 26.2 CrossFit Open workout.” This announcement set the stage for an intense competition as athletes prepared to tackle the challenges ahead.
Details of the Workout
The 2026 CrossFit Open 26.2 workout consists of a series of demanding exercises designed to test the limits of the participants. The workout includes overhead walking lunges, dumbbell snatches, pull-ups, chest-to-bar pull-ups, and muscle-ups, all to be completed within a strict 15-minute time cap.
Structure of the Exercises
Specifically, the workout features 80-foot overhead walking lunges broken into 20-foot segments. Athletes must also complete 20 dumbbell snatches and 20 pull-ups, with the men’s dumbbell weight set at 50 lb (22.5 kg) and the women’s at 35 lb (15 kg). For those opting for a scaled version, jumping pull-ups replace regular pull-ups, while the Foundations version includes bent-over rows and ring rows instead of muscle-ups.
