For time: 21 jumping pull-ups, 42 single-unders, 21 thrusters (65/45), 18 pull-ups, 36 single-unders, 18 thrusters (85/55), 15 chest-to-bar pull-ups, 30 single-unders, 15 thrusters (105/65)
Primary movement: Thrusters/Pullups
The scaled division of Open 25.2 mirrors the Rx ladder with accessible gymnastics: 21 jumping pull-ups, 42 single-unders and 21 thrusters (65/45 lb); then 18 pull-ups, 36 single-unders and 18 thrusters (85/55 lb); then 15 chest-to-bar pull-ups, 30 single-unders and 15 thrusters (105/65 lb), in 12 minutes. The progression from jumping pull-ups to chest-to-bar makes this one of the best-designed scaled tests: each gate is reachable, but the combination of rising loads and rising skill still sorts the field.
| Level (Time) | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|
| beginner | 12:00 (cap) | 12:00 (cap) |
| intermediate | 11:00 | 11:30 |
| advanced | 9:30 | 10:00 |
| elite | sub 8:00 | sub 8:45 |
Sprint the first round - everything in it should be unbroken or nearly so. The regular pull-ups in round 2 are the first real gate: sets of 6-6-6 or 5-4-4-5 with fast returns to the bar. Save legs on the single-unders by staying relaxed and low. Round 3's chest-to-bars in quick 3s and the 105/65 thrusters in 8-7 or 5-5-5. Know the tiebreak/cap rules: every completed rep matters, so keep chipping even when finishing looks unlikely.
This is the official scaled version of 25.2. Further scaling: ring rows in all three rounds and a single moderate thruster weight throughout.
