Once cals are completed they try to get as many synchronised TTB or pull ups in the remaining time of the 2 min. Once the clock hits 2 min, they stop and the new pair of athletes start on the same machine. After their round switch machines so each pair does each combination 2 x. At 16 min the team can go straight to the wall balls and complete a total of 300 wall balls as soon as possible. Only 2 athletes can work at the same time. The time cap for this part is 8 min.
