WORKOUT DETAILS
QUICK START

- Then, move to the pull-up bar, face the camera, and complete 1 bar muscle-up.
- 60-64, 65-69, and 70+ divisions will complete 1 chest-to-bar pull-up.
- Next, return to the barbell and perform 2 cleans facing the camera.
- Then, perform 2 bar muscle-ups facing the camera.
- Repeat this sequence, adding 1 rep to the clean and bar muscle-up each round.
- 60-64, 65-69, and 70+ divisions complete chest-to-bar pull-ups for 5 rounds. After the fifth round, continue the sixth round with bar muscle-ups.
- Your score will be the total number of repetitions performed within the 10-minute time cap.
NOTES
- For safety, the following setup must be followed:
- The pull-up bar must be placed at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from the barbell.
- Athletes must wear shoes at all times during the workout.
- Athletes must face the camera during both movements.
- Gymnastics grips may only be used for the pull-up bar movements (they may be turned around, or otherwise not used, during the cleans).
- A tiebreak time is taken after the completion of the fifth round (see Tiebreak section below for more information).
TIEBREAK
Record the time after you complete the round of 5 reps. This will be your tiebreak time. In the event of a tie, the athlete with the better tiebreak time will be ranked higher.

- Men/boys are required to use a 45-lb (20-kg) barbell

PENALTIES
Penalties may be deducted from the athlete’s total score if CrossFit HQ conducts a review of your video. CrossFit will review videos that receive significant public downvotes.
- False start: athlete turns around before “go” = 1-rep penalty
- Muscle-up no-rep (to include facing away from the camera) = 1-rep penalty
- 60-64, 65-69, and 70+ divisions: chest-to-bar pull-up no-rep (to include facing away from the camera) = 1-rep penalty
- Clean no-rep = 1-rep penalty
- Receiving any assistance with equipment = 1-rep penalty per instance
- Any repetitions facing away from the camera will not be credited
- If an athlete advances before completing the specified number of reps, their score will stop at the last correctly completed rep.
- e.g., the athlete is required to do 10 reps but moves on at rep 7. The athlete’s score will be 7, regardless of the total number of repetitions completed after moving forward incorrectly.
See APPENDIX D in the 2025 CrossFit Games Rulebook for video review penalty information.
