How Open 20.2 works
Open 20.2 is an AMRAP: as many rounds and reps as possible in the set time. You work through the movements in order and start again from the top after the last one. Your score is the completed rounds plus the reps of the round you started.
Open 20.2 is one of the Open workouts. Workouts from the CrossFit® Open, the yearly worldwide online competition. They're standardized and a good way to compare yourself with others.

Tips for Open 20.2
Find a pace you can hold for the whole time. If you go out too fast in the first few minutes, you'll lose more rounds at the end than you gained at the start. Plan short breaks before you need them.
How to scale Open 20.2
If part of it is still too hard, scale it so the workout keeps its pace and intended stimulus. Log it as "Scaled". Possible options:
- DB Thruster: Lighter dumbbells; Just one dumbbell
- Toes-to-Bar: Knees-to-Elbow; Hanging Knee Raise
- Double Under: Single Unders, usually two to three times as many; Singles mixed with one Double Under at a time
