What does Workout 14.2 have in store for competitors this week?
Last week’s workout was a 10 minute AMRAP of two fairly technical movements – the snatch and the double-under. There’s no doubt that this week’s workout will be just as challenging.

There’s still plenty of time for any of the nearly 200,000 competitors in the Open to earn a spot at their Regional competition. We’re sure that the competition is going to be fierce – and no doubt exciting!

We at the WOD Life predict a few things about this week’s workout:
• Workout 14.2 will be longer than last week’s workout. We predict an AMRAP of 15-18 minutes covering three different exercises. We’ve seen longer AMRAPs in the past, especially when three or more exercises were programmed.
• A longer workout allows Open competitors to test both their physical and mental capabilities. The WOD Life predicts that as the competition continues the workouts will become increasingly difficult in order to separate the best of the best for Regional competition.
• 14.2 will not incorporate burpees. Mainsite programming has scheduled burpees for the Wednesday WOD, so our guess is that other movements will be used.
• Last week’s movements were challenging for some new competitors, as they both required a fair degree of skill. This week’s movements will be less challenging in terms of skill, but just as physically demanding.
• Like last week’s workout, 14.2 will pair an Olympic lift with gymnastic movements. There are still plenty of competitors in the running for Regional competition, and we predict that this Open workout will play to a wide range of strengths and skills.

So what’s the WOD Life’s take on Workout 14.2?
Our best guess is that this week’s workout will be a combination of wall balls, deadlifts, and pull-ups. We predict the repetitions of the wall balls and pull-ups to be high, and the deadlift load to be fairly light. The AMRAP will be longer, allowing for multiple rounds and plenty of time to test your physical and mental capacity!
