Battle Of The Boxes 2025

6 MIN TOTAL TIME FOR BOTH ATHLETES.

Each partner must complete the ladder. One person working at a time.

12 Reps @Weight 1 (135/95)/ S- (75/55)

8 Reps @Weight 2  (185/125)/ S-(95/65)

4 Reps @Weight 3 (225/155)/ S- (135/95)

SCORE:

Total time for both athletes to complete the ladder.

TIE BREAK: In the event that an athlete/team cannot complete ladder, the tie break will be the number of reps completed       

Workout Description:

Each team will have two barbells set up. Both at starting weight. The workout begins with ONE athlete starting at the buzzer with the opening weight. Completing all 12 reps. At this point you adjust the weight to the second weight listed, completing all 8 reps. Finally adjusting to final weight listed and completing 4 reps. 

AT THIS POINT.  TRANSITION IS EVERYTHING. Partner 1 moves the barbell out of the way, and partner 2 moves their barbell forward, completing 12 reps at the opening weight.. As with partner 1, Partner 2 will adjust to weight 2 and 3 completing 8 and 4 reps respectively. The workout ends with both partners having completed the power clean ladder OR getting as far as they can within the 6 min.

Two barbells for each team EVEN IF it is M-M or F-F. This is because we want to provide a level playing field for all athletes. Having one barbell will add on unnecessary transition time between partners going back to opening weight.
IN THE EVENT OF partner 1 gets stuck on a weight and isn't able to complete the ladder. PARTNER 2 has to wait until the 3:00 min mark before starting their ladder. 
Once partner 2 starts their ladder, partner 1 CANNOT go back to attempt to finish thier ladder.
Your Teammate is ALLOWED to help you change weights. Judges CANNOT.
