For Time (12 cap): 21 Pull-Ups, 42 Double-Unders, 21 Thrusters (95/65), 18 Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups, 36 DU, 18 Thrusters (115/75), 15 Bar Muscle-Ups, 30 DU, 15 Thrusters (135/85).
Primary movement: Pull Ladder/DU/Thrusters
Open 22.3 perfected the double-escalation format that 25.2 would later repeat verbatim: three rounds where the pulling movement climbs (pull-ups, chest-to-bar, bar muscle-ups) while the thruster bar gains weight - with double-unders as the connective tissue. Every athlete exits at their exact ceiling: the C2B, the muscle-ups, or the 135/85 thrusters with a heaving chest. Pound for pound one of the best-designed tests in Open history.

12-minute cap; capped scores count total reps.
Round one is a controlled sprint: pull-ups 11-10, rope smooth, thrusters unbroken. Invest your discipline in round two - C2B in 6s with fast turnarounds, because arriving at the muscle-ups with cooked lats ends the story early. The 15 bar MUs are the workout's judgment: singles with 5-second gaps is the sustainable truth for most. The final 135/85 thrusters reward whoever kept two gears in reserve: 8-7 or 5-5-5, then collapse with a clear conscience.
Scaled: jumping pull-ups, single-unders, lighter ascending thrusters with pull-up progression.
