Brace yourselves, because the third week of the 2018 CrossFit Open is here and workout 18.3 is set to drop tonight. The announcement will be streamed live tonight at 8 pm EST from Skyline CrossFit in Houston, Texas. If you tune in tonight, you’ll get to watch multi-time CrossFit Games athletes Kyle Kasperbauer and Neal Maddox face off head-to-head. Last year, Kasperbauer took home first, while Maddox claimed second in the 2017 CrossFit Games 35-39 age group.

Last week’s 18.2 & 18.2a two-part workout involved a heavy strength focus (max clean), which was a complete 180 compared to workout 18.1’s endurance based 20-min AMRAP. It’s going to be interesting to see what Dave Castro has up his sleeve this week. If we had to guess, this week’s workout will involve some high-skill task, maybe gymnastics?
