What is A 21.2 Workout? | Crossfit

Crossfit announced the 2nd workout for 2021 known as the 21.2 ladder workout. It consists of 2 exercises known as the Dumbbell Overhead Snatch and Burpee Box Jump-Overs. The exercises are done for time, which is a repeat of the 17.1 (2017) Crossfit workout.

There are several divisions based on age, gender and workout type. Only the RX’d will count towards qualifying.

This year, CrossFit is doing a virtual competition, where participants have seven days to complete it and upload their scores. Those with the best scores are able to qualify for the Crossfit Games.
