Have a look at all the workouts here.

Before the workouts were released, Phil Hesketh from prepared.programming said: “I spent the last few weeks running through the individual workouts to make sure that they gave the intended stimulus and to get a feel for how much recovery would be needed between events.

“There is a fine line between over and under programming an event like this and the trick is to have a very good understanding of your target athletes. We want the @norwegiancrossfitchampionship to be a great test of fitness without having to break the athletes.”

The Norwegian CrossFit Championship will also host two Masters (35-39 and 40+) and a Community division.

The top Male and Female Individual Elite Finishers, as well as the top placed Team of 4 will move on the compete at the 2020 CrossFit Games.
