Primary movement: WW/DU/Snatch Ladder
Open 23.3 closed the 2023 season as a compressed anthology of modern Open history: wall walks from 21.1, the earn-more-time format from 13.5's lineage, an ascending snatch ladder from 12.2's bloodline, and a bar muscle-up finale. Each earned extension buys three more minutes and a meaner room. The 185/125 snatch section with a spent grip - after chest-to-bars - is where the field's ceiling lived, and the full 225/155 finish belonged to a tiny elite.
| Level (Reps) | Men | Women |

| intermediate | 137 (into section 2) | 130 |
| advanced | 241 (into section 3) | 230 |
| elite | 342 (finish) | 342 |
Total reps across earned sections.
The first 6 minutes are a qualification sprint with no room for luxury: wall walks steady, rope clean, the 95/65 bar in two sets and the 135/95 in fast singles - you need 30+ spare seconds to make the extension useful. In the C2B section, protect the grip above all: 5s and 4s, because 185/125 snatches read your forearms like a lie detector. Every section is pass/fail: know before starting which room is realistically yours, and sprint precisely to its door.
Scaled: reduced wall walks, single-unders, lighter snatch ladder with pull-up progressions.
