Scaling:
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.

Intermediate option:
Complete as many reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
10 clean and jerks, weight 1
Rest 1 minute

Heavy Grace
30 clean and jerks for time

Pick a load that is heavier than the last time you performed Grace.

Join thousands around the world in Barbells for Boobs' annual Grace fundraiser in support of breast cancer support and awareness.

Post time and load to comments.

Scaling:
Grace, similar to Isabel, is one of the fastest CrossFit benchmark workouts. Look at the last time you performed Grace and choose a heavier weight but one that allows you to keep moving with minimal rest. Intermediate athletes should perform Grace as prescribed and shoot for a PR.

Intermediate Option:
30 clean and jerks for time
♀ 95 lb. ♂ 135 lb.

Beginner Option:
30 clean and jerks for time
♀ 35 lb. ♂ 55 lb.
