Scaling:
Today’s effort is meant to challenge your barbell cycling with a heavier load. Increase the load across as many sets as possible, building to your heaviest sets of 5, 3, and 1. The sets of 5 and 3 are meant to be unbroken (touch and go). You will be limited in load based on your technical competence with the clean and jerk. Start light, dial in technique, and increase load as you develop quality movement patterns. Use the remaining time in each minute to rest and/or add load to the barbell.

Welcome to the fourth and final workout of the 2024 CrossFit Games Quarterfinals! Today's workout is a clean-and-jerk ladder with ascending weights. This is a barbell stamina and conditioning test. The barbell load starts on the lighter side of moderate and builds its way up to relatively heavy. The first barbell should be a weight with which you can perform some touch-and-go reps, while the next three will require a bit more strategy. Consider performing fast singles with minimal rest between reps. If you are not signed up for the Quarterfinals, choose loads that challenge your ability but allow you to complete the reps at the first and second barbell. The third barbell should be tough to get through, and any reps with the fourth barbell should be considered a bonus.

Reduce the weight at each interval, beginning with a load you can move for the full minute without dropping the barbell. Newer athletes should focus less on a max set and more on squat clean mechanics.
