CrossFit Open workout 24.2 has landed, and it’s world’s apart from week one’s lethal pairing of single-arm snatches and burpees.
The workout was revealed by current WWE world heavyweight champion Seth Rollins during 2024’s second CrossFit Open live announcement. The wrestler has competed in the CrossFit Open for the last 12 years, and stepped in for Dave Castro to share the second test in all its glory.
Two-time fittest man on earth Justin Medeiros and fan favorite Colten Mertens are the first to face the test in Medeiros’ home gym, with their efforts live-streamed on the CrossFit Games website and YouTube channel.

How To Do CrossFit Open Workout 24.2
As many reps as possible (AMRAP) in 20 minutes of:
- Row 300m
- Deadlift x10 (185lb/83kg for men and 125lb/56kg for women)
- Double-unders x50
CrossFit Open workout 24.2 is fairly easy to get your head around compared to last week’s confusing twist on CrossFit’s popular 21-15-9 format.
It’s a 20-minute AMRAP of a 300m row, 10 deadlifts and 50 double-unders. Complete as many rounds and reps of this sequence as you can in 20 minutes, and that’s your score. Every 10 meters on the rower is worth one rep. Simple.
CrossFit Open Workout 24.2 Submission Deadline
You have until 5pm PST on Monday, March 11 (1am GMT on Tuesday, March 12) to submit your scores for CrossFit Open workout 24.2. Before this time, you can redo the workout and resubmit your score as many times as you like.
To enter the annual online fitness competition you first need to register for the Open, which costs $20. You can then submit your score to the online leaderboard.
If you do the workout at a CrossFit-affiliate gym, submitting your score is simple. You just need to add it to the leaderboard via the CrossFit Games app or website, then have it validated by the affiliate manager at the site where you completed it.
If you’re not doing the workout at a CrossFit-affiliate gym, you’ll also have to film yourself completing it. The video needs to be uploaded to a common hosting site like YouTube or Vimeo, then there will be a prompt to input the link as you add your score on the CrossFit Games app or website.
Your video may be assessed by the CrossFit internal review team, who can accept, modify or invalidate your score based on whether you meet the set standards for the workout.
The Wodproof app is the easiest way to film your workouts as it comes with a template for each CrossFit Open test including an on-screen timer.
