Tips & Tricks and Good Times/Scores for the CrossFit Games AGOQ 2018

20 Apr 2018

CrossFit AGOQ – Age Group Online Qualifier 2018

AGOQ 2018 is finally here! Top 200 in each age division were invited and now they have just 4 days to fight for top 20 spots to get invite for the CrossFit Games.

Below you can find 4 day plan that involves a few repeats of WODs you have under performed, good scores to beat for each WOD and little strategy guide to reach the top 20 in each WOD.

Good times/scores to beat are from the mobile app WOD Time Calculator, they are just estimates and should give you good idea of how good time/score you need. If you want to qualify watch for fitness level 100.

Also, if your category includes lighter weights or movements you will need to recalculate good times/scores in the app. Times will faster and scores will be higher for lower weights.

4 day plan for AGOQ

The best case scenario is 1 WOD per day with no repeats, just go all out and perform your best every day.

Probably, this won’t happen as 2nd tries are almost always better.

I would go for this order of WODs #1 -> #3 -> #4 -> #2 with repeats during the last day.

	Morning Session	Evening Session
Day 1	WOD #1	WOD #3
Day 2	WOD #4
Day 3	WOD #2
Day 4	Repeat one you need	Repeat #3 or #4

CrossFit AGOQ WOD #1

You should get slightly faster time than your Fran PR
Best guys will have time ~2:00
There is no reason to not go unbroken on thrusters
Be fast on transitions
Jump high on ropes
Speed up during last 12 thrusters, you can rest later, every second can cost you a lot of points!
Do this WOD first and repeat it as the last WOD of the weekend

CrossFit AGOQ WOD #2

This WOD will separate the Games athletes from the top 200
You have to know how to butterfly your C2Bs in order to fight for top spots
I still think that there would be a few guys who will qualify with 5 sets of 5 kipping C2B but their rest have to be quick
Go singles on power cleans and try to hold constant rest
Don’t do this WOD at the same day as WOD #1, day 3 would be the best

CrossFit AGOQ WOD #3

Use very similar strategy as you had for 18.3
All movements are relatively easy, just keep moving and avoid no reps
This one will be hard to repeat because of calves fatigue from double unders
Day 1 or day 2 evening session will be great time for this WOD

CrossFit AGOQ WOD #4

I think that even +7 rounds may be required to get to the Games
This one is pretty straightforward
HSPU should be quick and consistent, guys who will be able to do all sets unbroken will get a low of extra time
Steady pace on the burpees except last 90 seconds where you should sprint
Unbroken power snatches will be about the same fast as three quick singles
This WOD can be repeated multiple times
Go for the first try on the second day and for the second try on the fourth day
