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.

5 rounds for time of:

250-m row, sub 0:52♀/0:45♂
50 double-unders, unbroken

If the row takes longer than 0:52/0:45, or if you trip up on your double-unders, redo that exercise before moving back to the other exercise.

Post time to comments.
Compare to 180504.

Scaling:
If you’re unfamiliar with row pacing or a sub 0:52/0:45 time is unrealistic, row 250 meters at max effort in the warm-up, then add a few seconds to that to create your target time for the workout. This workout forces you to row at a near-maximum effort so you can make sure the row counts and you don’t have to repeat the work. Athletes who struggle with double-unders might want to switch to unbroken single-unders or reduce the number of double-unders each round.

Intermediate Option:
5 rounds for time of:
250-m row, sub 0:57♀/0:50♂
100 unbroken single-unders

If the row takes longer than 0:57/0:50, or if you trip up on your single-unders, redo that segment before moving back to the other exercise.

Beginner Option:
3 rounds for time of:
250-m row, sub 1:02 ♀/0:55♂
100 single-unders

If the row takes longer than 1:02/0:55, redo it before moving back to the other exercise.
