AMAZING work on the 2026 CrossFit Open, CFD!! We saw incredible effort from everyone the past 3 weeks — we know it isn't easy to push yourselves to that next gear, but now you know it's possible! What will your goal be for the next 12 months? Did the Open expose a weakness? Maybe it's pacing, cardio capacity, wall ball volume, pull-ups, or the ever-present muscle ups. Don't forget about the movements we didn't see this year, too. (Cough cough, wall walks.) What I love most about the Open is watching our community support each other. I love seeing people

Should you be tapering? A taper is a planned reduction in training volume while maintaining intensity to prepare for a fitness peak. It's not just taking it easy. It's strategic recovery that keeps you sharp while letting your body supercompensate, meaning

Who remembers the workout "Death Row" from when we did NCFit's programming?? Well, if you liked that one or found it to be a great challenge, you're in for a similar grind this week! (Get ready for burpees and row on Thursday.) ;) We're getting heavy in our strength cycle! Back squat is on Wednesday. This wave pushes athletes into near-maximal intensities, challenging both strength and confidence under the bar. Athletes perform two full waves of 3-2-1, climbing to 93% in each, before backing down slightly to refine bar speed and technique. The focus is on maintaining bracing, posture, and
