AMRAP 13 mins: 55 Deadlifts (225/155 lb), 55 Wall-Ball Shots (20/14 lb), 55-cal Row, 55 Handstand Push-Ups (repeat of Open 16.4).
Primary movement: DL/WB/Row/HSPU
Open 17.4 repeated 16.4's chipper of 55s rep for rep - heavy deadlifts, wall balls, calories and handstand push-ups - making it the Open's benchmark for year-over-year progress on mixed strength and gymnastics. The updated HSPU standard (stricter rep verification) recalibrated some scores, but the physiology is identical: your back survives the deadlifts, your shoulders survive the middle, and the leaderboard is written at the wall.
| Level (Reps) | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|
| beginner | 110 | 105 |
| intermediate | 165 | 160 |
| advanced | 190 | 180 |
| elite | 220+ | 215+ |
Total reps in 13 minutes (full round = 220).
Everything from 16.4 applies: fearful small deadlift sets (8-10s), breathing row at 3:30-4:15, and immediate 5s at the HSPU wall. If you logged 16.4, your splits are a treasure map - know your old row-off time and buy 30 extra wall seconds with slightly braver wall balls. The workout rewards whoever wastes the least at station changes: chalk, water and wall space pre-staged.
Scaled: 155/105 lb deadlifts, 14/10 wall balls, 55-cal row, 55 hand-release push-ups.
