AMRAP 7 mins, ascending ladder: 3 Clean and Jerks (135/95 lb) + 3 Toes-to-Bar, then 6+6, 9+9... adding 3 reps per round.
Primary movement: C&J/T2B
Open 13.4 took the beloved 7-minute ladder format and swapped in a heavier question: clean and jerks at 135/95 alternating with toes-to-bar, growing by 3s. The C&J weight is moderate fresh and meaningful by the round of 12, while T2B attack the exact grip and midline the barbell needs. It's the thinking athlete's sprint: seven minutes long, but every transition and set-break is a real decision.

Total reps in 7 minutes.
Fast singles on the barbell from the round of 9 - dropping from overhead and stepping back in beats touch-and-go the moment your breathing is loud. T2B unbroken while crisp, then quick 4s and 3s protecting the rhythm. Chalk at the 9s, not mid-set. The clock rewards continuous motion: leave the bar 2 seconds before you feel ready.
Scaled: 95/65 lb clean and jerks and hanging knee raises, same ladder.
