WORKOUT DETAILS
DOWNLOAD YOUR SCORECARD
QUICK START
- Athletes start facing the barbell.
- At “go,” pick up the bar and complete 7 squat snatches.
- The bar must remain at least 5 feet from the rope at all times.
- Stepping on the 5-foot line is a no-rep.
- Then, move to the rope and complete 3 rope climbs.
- If the barbell is closer than 5 feet to the rope, the rope climbs will not count.
- Continue in this manner until you have completed 5 rounds.
- Time stops when the final rope climb is completed (the touch at the top).
- Your score is the total time taken to complete the workout.
NOTES
- Athletes CANNOT receive assistance with their barbell or rope at any time.
- For safety, the rope must be placed at least 5 feet from the barbell.
- Athletes must face the camera during the snatches.
TIEBREAK
- A tiebreak time will be taken after each round. The LAST completed round will be your tiebreak time.
- Athletes who complete the workout will not enter a tiebreak time.
- In the event of a tie on reps completed, your last completed round will be your tiebreak time.
EQUIPMENT
- Barbell
- Men are required to use a barbell with a minimum 28-millimeter diameter (e.g., a 45-lb/20-kg barbell or a Rogue C70/C70s barbell).
- Women are required to use a barbell with a minimum 25-millimeter diameter (e.g., a 35-lb/15-kg barbell or a Rogue C68/C68s barbell).

PENALTIES
Penalties may be applied to the athlete’s total score if CrossFit HQ conducts a review of your video. CrossFit will review videos that receive significant public downvotes.
- The following penalties will be applied to the athlete’s total score:
- False start: moving to touch the barbell before “go” = 5-second penalty
- No-rep on a squat snatch = 5-second penalty
- No-rep on a rope climb, to include assistance steadying the rope = 10-second penalty
- Assistance with the barbell = 5-second penalty for each instance
- If an athlete advances before completing the specified number of reps or meters/cals, their score will stop at the last correctly completed rep.
- Example: 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.
- Editing a video submission in ANY way (to include adding a clock) may result in a 0 score, invalidation, or further sanction.
See Section 4, “Online Semifinals,” in the 2026 CrossFit Games Rulebook for video review penalty information.

1 of 10The Snatch: Each rep starts with the bar on the ground.
2 of 10The barbell must be lifted overhead in one motion (no clean and jerks). A squat snatch is required. The athlete must remain in motion until the barbell is received in the squat position with the crease of the hip below the the top of the knee. A power snatch followed by an overhead squat will NOT count. Masters 65+ ONLY: A power snatch followed by an overhead squat is allowed.
3 of 10The rep is credited when: Hips, knees, and arms are extended. The bar is over the middle of or slightly behind the body when viewed from profile. The feet are in line.
4 of 10Common no-reps for the snatch include but are not limited to: Squatting to parallel or above parallel (the hip crease is at or above the knee).
5 of 10Lowering the bar before full extension of the knees, hips, or arms.
6 of 10Finishing with the bar in front of the body.
7 of 10Deliberately bouncing the barbell between consecutive reps. Additional: The knee, or any other part of the body except the feet, touching the floor. A power snatch followed by an overhead squat (Masters 65+ exempt). Stepping on or over the 5-foot line from the rope. Facing away from the camera. Receiving assistance with the bar at any time may result in a penalty.
8 of 10The Rope Climb: Each rep starts with both feet on the ground. Any style of climbing is permitted. The athlete may jump into the rope climb. The rep is credited when one hand clearly touches above the designated mark. There are no requirements during the descent of the climb.
9 of 10NOTES: The rope MUST be at least 5 feet from the rower. When measuring the 15-foot (4.57 meter) or 12-foot (3.65 meter) rope climb, you must measure from the surface from which the athlete is jumping (e.g., if using a crash mat, measure from the top of the crash mat to the top of the rope). Athletes CANNOT receive assistance steadying the rope between climbs.
10 of 10Common no-reps for the rope climb include but are not limited to: Not clearly touching above the designated mark. Any reps completed with the barbell closer than 5 feet to the rope.
