NOTES
The sequence for this workout is 10 squats followed by 9 snatches with the right arm. Then, 10 push-ups followed by 9 snatches with the left arm. Once you complete the round, return to the squats and continue working until you reach the 10-minute time cap.
If you don’t have access to dumbbells, choose an object you can safely move from the ground to overhead in one motion. For all three movements, choose a weight or modification that allows you to work continuously within the range of motion for the duration of the workout.
Your score will be the total number of repetitions completed before the 10-minute time cap.
EQUIPMENT
The prescribed weight of the dumbbells is 35 lb. for women and 50 lb. for men. However, the workout can be performed with any weight that is suitable for your fitness level. If you don’t have access to dumbbells, any object you can safely take from the ground to over your head works just as well. Here are some creative substitutes:
Dumbbell of a different weight
Plastic milk jug
Can of food
Water bottle
Kettlebell
For your convenience, the prescribed weights in kilograms are 15 kg (35 lb.) and 22.5 kg (50 lb.)
Be sure you have adequate space to safely complete all the movements. Clear the area of all extra equipment, people, or other obstructions.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BOX
The Support Your Local Box Fundraiser is a CrossFit event for the benefit of CrossFit affiliates affected by COVID-19 around the globe. The temporary closures and distance between us cannot keep this community apart. Affiliates around the world have demonstrated this through their actions over the past few weeks. Now, the entire CrossFit community has an opportunity to come together in support of our affiliates.
EVENT FORMAT
Over a three-week period, CrossFit will release three classic and accessible workouts that can be performed by participants of any ability level. Everyone who participates will have their name displayed on the community leaderboard and will be able to create smaller leaderboards among friends, family, and other members of their affiliate using leaderboard hashtags.
Registration will take place on games.crossfit.com/open beginning on or before Wednesday, April 1, and will remain open for the duration of the competition. The first workout will be released on Friday, April 3.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
Anyone can participate in the Support Your Local Box Fundraiser. Payment is not required. We understand that many face financial difficulties at this time and want everyone to have the opportunity to participate without barriers. Your participation is, in itself, a strong form of support and encouragement to the affiliate community.
When you register, you will have the option to select a contribution amount ranging from $20 to $1,000 or participate at no cost. Participants can also select the affiliate they would like to receive their contribution. When the competition closes, the proceeds will be distributed to affiliates in accordance with their roster of supporters. CrossFit, Inc. will distribute all registration funds to the designated affiliates.
HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
Every CrossFit affiliate, trainer, and participant has been impacted by COVID-19, but we recognize some gyms will have greater needs than others in the coming weeks and months. All participants can use social media to direct and encourage contributions to their own affiliate or another affiliate in the community that needs our help. This is also an opportunity to rally family and friends to participate in this accessible event.
Support Your Affiliate: If your affiliate is in great need, select your affiliate in the registration process to have your registration pass directly to your box.
Support a Box in Need: If your affiliate is in a relatively strong position, this is an opportunity to support those less fortunate by partnering with a box or boxes in the hardest hit areas and channeling aid to them.
WE WILL BE PARTICIPATING IN THIS EVENT AS A GYM TO SHOW OUR SUPPORT!
DONATION IS OPTIONAL, BUT PLEASE SIGN-UP AND BE A PART OF THIS EVENT!
