In February of 2024, CrossFit Revamped launched the inagual year of The Ladder Lifting Challenge. The event was far greater than we could have hoped and put athletes hard work and community on display. We can't wait to bring it back for it's third year! 

The Ladder Challenge is a 2-person team (MM or FF) lifting challenge for max load. MM and FF pairs will work through a snatch and clean and jerk ladder in hopes of making it to the center platform or achieving a new PR. Once at the center platform, teams will have an opportunity to lift the heaviest barbells in their respective division under the spotlight.

The Ladder Challenge is a three-scored event. Teams of 2 will be scored for total load in the clean and jerk, total load in the snatch, and total overall load in both the snatch and clean and jerk combined. After all three scores are recorded, the top three teams in each division will stand atop the podium and earn the title as the strongest. 

Tiebreaker: In the event of an overall tie, combined bodyweight of both teammates will be recorded. The lightest team will win the tiebreaker. Bodyweight will not be considered until the end of competition if there is an overall tie after all three scores have been recorded.

Teams can choose to compete in the Scaled or Rxd division. Both teammates must compete in the same division. Each division will be distinguished by load on the barbells as listed below.

If one teammate fails to complete a lift, the other teammate can still continue through the ladder.

If an athlete sucessfully clears the entire ladder, we will continue to add 5-10lbs until failure. Their score will be their heaviest lift. 

Event Flow: All FF pairs in all divisions will complete the snatch ladder first, followed by MM pairs in all divisions. Then, all FF pairs in all divisions will complete the clean and jerk ladder, followed by MM pairs in all divisions.

Scaled teams will enter the ladder first, followed by Rxd teams. Each pair will have 50 seconds to lift and a 10 second transition to the next barbell. Athletes will try to get as far as possible in the ladder to lift their heaviest load. 

If athletes complete the sixth bar on the platform, they will earn a seat to the spotlight lifts.
