AMRAP 15 mins: 3 lateral burpees over the dumbell, 3 dumbbell hang clean-to-overhead (50/35 lb), 30-foot walking lunge (2 x 15 feet), , , * After completing each round, add 3 reps to the burpees and, hang clean-to-overheads
Primary movement: DB complex/Burpees
Open 25.1 opened the 2025 CrossFit Open with an ascending-ladder AMRAP: 15 minutes of 3 lateral burpees over the dumbbell, 3 dumbbell hang clean-to-overheads (50/35 lb) and a 30-foot walking lunge (2 x 15 ft), adding 3 reps to the burpees and clean-to-overheads every round (3-3, 6-6, 9-9...). The genius is the format: everyone starts sprinting the tiny early rounds, and the ladder quietly grows into a grinding test of burpee endurance and single-dumbbell efficiency. Score is total reps.
| Level (Reps) | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|
| beginner | 90 | 80 |
| intermediate | 130 | 115 |
| advanced | 160 | 145 |
| elite | 185+ | 170+ |
Total reps in 15 minutes; lunges count as 1 rep per 15-ft section.
Treat the first four rounds as a warm-up done briskly - the workout begins at the round of 12. Set a burpee pace you could hold for 15 straight minutes and never leave it. Alternate arms on the clean-to-overheads and use your legs; push-pressing every rep with one arm cooks your shoulder by round 6. The lunge is your reset: use those 30 feet to breathe deliberately. In the last 2 minutes, sprint - the ladder means late reps come in big rounds.
Official scaled used a 35/20 lb dumbbell (see the Scaled entry). Home version: lighter dumbbell or kettlebell, up-downs instead of lateral burpees, same ladder format - it's the fun part.
