Dave Castro's event announcements for the 2017 CrossFit Games have ranged from very specific (1RM snatch!) to as vague as possible (issa bike!) and this one fits somewhere in between.

Castro originally posted this photo album yesterday detailing the rep scheme of a chipper at the 2017 Games, offering an Assault Bike to whoever could guess the movements.

Since no one came ever close, he updated his clues:

So what do we know? It's a chipper with the rep scheme of 100-80-60-40-20 and that the movements are gymnastics for the first three, monostructural for the fourth, and weightlifting for the final. Here are some examples of each of those, see if you can mad lib a workout out of it.

Gymnastics movements


  • ​pull ups
  • chest-to-bar pull ups
  • bar muscle ups
  • muscle ups
  • toes to bar
  • handstand walk
  • GHD sit ups
  • handstand push ups (and all their variations, strict, deficit, etc)
  • burpees
  • box jumps (and all those variations like overs, or beginning with a burpee)
  • pistols/weighted pistols

Monostructural movements


  • ​rowing
  • running
  • biking
  • ski erg
  • jumping rope

Weightlifting movements


  • ​squat (back, front, overhead, etc)
  • deadlift
  • snatch (and variations like hang, squat, split, etc)
  • clean (and variations like hang, squat, split, power, etc)
  • shoulder to overhead
  • bench press
  • sandbag cleans
So maybe someone can put together some sort of randomizing machine to get all the combos of this possible. Or maybe we can just wait for another week and see what happens.
