TIEBREAK
The scoring for this workout includes a tiebreak. At the end of the row,
time should be marked. When you submit your final result, your score
will be the number of reps completed. There will be another field in
which you will enter the elapsed time at which you completed the
55-calorie row. In the case where two athletes have the same score
(total number of reps), the athlete with the lower tiebreak time will be
ranked higher.

 

 

 

Movement Standards:

Deadlift

This is a traditional deadlift with the hands outside the knees. Sumo deadlifts are not allowed.  Starting at the floor, the barbell is lifted until hips and knees reach full extension with the shoulders behind the bar. The arms must be straight throughout. No
bouncing.

 

Wall Balls

In the wall-ball shot, the medicine ball must be taken from the bottom of a squat, hip crease below the knee, and thrown to hit
the specified target.  The center of the ball must hit the target at or above the specified target height. If the ball hits low or does not hit the wall, it is a “no rep.” If the ball drops from the top, it cannot be caught off the bounce to begin the next rep. The ball must settle on the ground before being picked up for the next rep.

 

Row

The monitor must be set to zero at the beginning of each row. The athlete or the judge may reset the monitor. The athlete must stay seated on the rower until the monitor reads 55 calories.

 

Handstand Push Up

Prior to starting you will need to establish the foot line for your handstand push-up. Stand facing the wall on the same surface
your hands will be on, with your feet at hip width and your toes touching the wall. While standing tall, reach your hands over your head with your elbows straight, shoulders extended and your thumbs touching.  From here, mark the height of your wrists, then measure down 3 inches and create a line on the wall. Mark your line with a permanent marker, chalk or tape. Judges may restore the line between rounds as needed.  Each handstand push-up begins and ends with the heels in contact with the wall and above the pre-marked line. The athlete may place their hands however they choose, as long as their heels are above the line.  At the bottom, the athlete’s head makes contact with the ground. If the head and hands are on different surfaces, the surfaces must be level. For example, if the hands are on plates and there is a pad under the head, the top of the pad must be level with the top of the plates. The feet do not need to remain in contact with the wall for the entire movement, but must touch above the line at the beginning and end of each rep. Kipping is allowed.

 

 

Hand Release Push Up (Scaled Only)

A straight body position must be maintained throughout the movement. No snaking, sagging or pushing up from the knees is allowed. The elbows must be locked out at the top with the feet no wider than shoulder width.  At the bottom, the chest (nipple line or above) must touch the floor and the hands must be lifted.

CrossFit Open 16.3

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 7 minutes of:
10 power snatches (75/55)
3 bar muscle-ups

 

Post Scores here and on the Games website (if you registered)

NOTES
This workout begins with the barbell on the floor and the athlete
standing tall. At the call of “3, 2, 1 … go,” the athlete will perform 10
power snatches, then move to the pull-up bar to perform muscle-ups.
After 3 reps, the athlete will move back to the barbell and begin their
next round.
Your score will be the total number of repetitions completed within
the 7-minute time cap.
TIEBREAK
The scoring for this workout includes a tiebreak. At the end of each
round, time should be marked. When you submit your final result,
your score will be the number of reps completed. There will be
another field in which you will enter the elapsed time at which you
completed your last full round. In the case where 2 athletes have the
same score (total number of reps), the athlete with the lower tiebreak
time will be ranked higher.
Note: All tiebreak times must be reported in elapsed time, not in time
remaining. If you are using a countdown timer, you must convert to
elapsed time before reporting your score. For this reason, it is recommended
you set your clock to count up.

Scaled Option:

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 7 minutes of:
10 power snatches (45/35)
5 jumping chest-to-bar pull-ups

 

Movement Standards:

Power Snatch – The barbell begins on the ground and must be lifted overhead in one smooth motion. Touch-and-go is permitted. No bouncing or dropping and catching the barbell on the rebound. Once dropped, the barbell must settle on the ground before the athlete begins the next repetition. No part of the body other than the feet may touch the ground during the repetition.

For divisions that use an empty barbell, or if plates smaller in diameter than standard bumper plates are used, each
repetition must begin with the barbell clearly below the knees.

The barbell must come to full lockout overhead with the hips, knees and arms fully extended, and the bar directly over
the middle of the body. This is not a ground-to-overhead any way. A clean and jerk, where the bar is lifted to the shoulders
and then lifted overhead is a “no rep.” A power snatch, muscle snatch, split snatch, or squat snatch is permitted, so long as all
requirements are met.

 

Bar Muscle Up:

In the bar muscle-up, you must begin with, or pass through, a hang below the bar with arms fully extended and the feet
off the ground. Kipping the muscle-up is acceptable, but pullovers, rolls to support or glide kips are not permitted. The heels
may not rise above the height of the bar during the kip.

At the top, the elbows must be fully locked out while the athlete supports himself or herself above the bar with the shoulders
over or in front of the bar. Athletes must pass through some portion of a dip to lockout over the bar.

 

Jumping Chest To Bar Pull Up (Scaled Only):

For the jumping chest-to-bar pull-up, the bar should be at least six inches above the top of the athlete’s head when standing
tall. The athlete may need to use plates or other stable platforms to decrease the distance between the top of the head and
the bar.

At the bottom, the athlete must lower himself or herself so the arms are fully extended.

At the top, the chest must clearly come into contact with the bar below the collarbone.

 

For those looking for a good bar muscle up progression to help prep, start here on Gymnastics WOD and watch all three parts.
