For Time (9 cap): 21-15-9 Deadlifts (225/155 lb) + Handstand Push-Ups, then 21-15-9 Deadlifts (315/205 lb) + 50-ft Handstand Walks per set (repeat of Open 18.4).
Primary movement: Diane + Heavy DL/HS Walk
Open 20.3 re-ran 18.4's two-act structure unchanged: Diane as the entrance exam, then the 315/205 deadlift and handstand-walk chamber for those who pass. As a repeat it measured two years of progress on the exact frontier most athletes were stuck at - the transition from kipping HSPU competence to heavy pulling plus hands-walking confidence. Same nine minutes, same brutal sorting: your score names the room where your training stopped.
| Level (Time) | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|
| beginner | cap (mid Diane) | cap |
| intermediate | cap (Diane done) | cap (Diane done) |
| advanced | cap (into 315) | cap (into 205) |
| elite | sub 8:30 (finish) | sub 9:00 |
9-minute cap; most scores are reps at the cap.

Same rules as 18.4, plus the repeat advantage: your old splits. Diane in controlled aggression (11-10 / 8-7-6), never risking HSPU no-reps to save five seconds. Rebuild your brace completely at the 315/205 bar - the score is worthless if the spine pays for it. Walk in 25-ft halves the moment a full 50 feels like gambling. If 18.4 ended at the heavy bar for you, today's entire mission is three singles past your old rep count.
Scaled: 135/95 then 185/135 deadlifts, hand-release push-ups, bear crawls.
