The scaled division of Open 25.3 keeps the full chipper structure - wall walks before every station, two 50-calorie rows bookending three 25-rep barbell stations - with loads of 135/85 lb deadlifts, 95/65 lb cleans and 65/45 lb snatches. The wall walks remain unmodified, which makes them the real test of the scaled division: 25 total reps of an awkward, shoulder-heavy movement that most scaled athletes have practiced far less than the barbell work.
| Level (Time) | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|
| beginner | 32:00+ | 34:00+ |
| intermediate | 25:00 | 27:00 |
| advanced | 20:30 | 22:30 |
| elite | sub 17:30 | sub 19:00 |
Practice wall walk pacing before attempting this: a controlled walk-up, one breath, controlled return beats a fast panicky rep every time. The lighter barbell loads reward bigger sets - deadlifts 15-10, cleans in 5s, snatches in 5s or smooth singles - but only if the wall walks haven't cooked your shoulders. Row both 50s at a pace you can talk through. Break before failure everywhere; in a 20-30 minute chipper, 5-second planned rests are investments, not losses.
This is the official scaled version of 25.3. Further scaling: 3 wall walks per station or inchworm + push-up substitutes, and lighter barbell or dumbbell loads.
