What is a "FALOAP" workout?

An As Long As Possible workout—often referred to as ALAP or "death by" format—is a progressive, time-based training structure where the goal is to complete a specific amount of work within each round and continue for as long as possible. The work requirement typically increases with each round, pushing you to your physical and mental limits.

A classic example in an as long as possible CrossFit workout might start with 2 calories on the bike in minute one, 4 in minute two, and so on—adding intensity every round. If you can’t complete the required work within the allotted time, the workout ends.

Why Try an As Long As Possible CrossFit Workout?

  • Work capacity under fatigue

  • Pacing and recovery within short windows

  • Mental toughness and resilience

  • Strategy and efficiency when fatigue kicks in

Whether you're using bodyweight movements, cardio machines, or barbell lifts, an as long as possible workout is an excellent way to build grit, endurance, and consistency—especially in competitive training environments.

What kind of exercises are in this workout?

  • burpee to target

    Burpee to target adds an explosive jump to a fixed height after each burpee, turning a classic bodyweight movement into a test of vertical power and precision. Popular in burpee to target workouts, this variation pushes conditioning, accuracy, and repeatability under fatigue.

    In this workout, burpee to target builds cardiovascular endurance, lower-body explosiveness, and mental toughness. The requirement to hit a target—often 6–12 inches above standing reach—forces athletes to maintain power output even when fatigued, making it a staple in competitive functional fitness.

  • hand-release push-up

    The handstand push-up is a high-skill bodyweight movement that builds shoulder strength, balance, and core control. Common in advanced handstand push-up workouts, it challenges your upper body like few other movements.

    In this workout, handstand push-ups develop pressing power and gymnastic control under fatigue. Whether performed strict or kipping, the handstand push-up is a true test of body awareness and upper body stamina.

    In this workout, handstand push-ups develop pressing power and gymnastic control under fatigue. Whether performed strict or kipping, the handstand push-up is a true test of body awareness and upper body stamina.

  • T2B

    Toes to bar is a powerful gymnastics movement that targets your core, grip, lats, and hip flexors, making it a key element in many high-intensity toes to bar workouts.

    In this workout, toes to bar challenge your core strength, rhythm, and coordination while under fatigue. Whether you're kipping or going strict, it’s an essential skill for improving gymnastics capacity and midline control in CrossFit.

  • kettlebell swing

    The kettlebell swing is a powerful hip-hinge movement that builds posterior chain strength, core stability, and cardiovascular endurance. A go-to in any kettlebell swing workout, it’s known for improving explosiveness, grip, and conditioning in one efficient motion.

    In this workout, kettlebell swings train your glutes, hamstrings, and shoulders, while developing rhythm and control. Whether Russian or American style, the kettlebell swing is a versatile tool for both beginners and advanced athletes.

  • goblet squat

    The goblet squat is a simple yet effective squat variation that builds lower body strength, core stability, and squat mechanics. A key movement in many goblet squat workouts, it's performed holding a dumbbell or kettlebell at chest level.

    In this workout, goblet squats improve quad and glute activation, encourage proper posture, and are great for both beginners and experienced athletes. The goblet squat is perfect for strength training, conditioning, or as a mobility-focused accessory movement.

  • knee raises

    Knee raises are a core-focused gymnastics movement that builds abdominal strength, hip flexor control, and grip endurance. Common in beginner and advanced knee raise workouts, they’re performed hanging from a pull-up bar, bringing the knees toward the chest.

    In this workout, knee raises train midline stability and coordination, making them a great progression toward toes-to-bar. Whether strict or kipping, knee raises are an effective and scalable movement for developing strong, functional core strength.

  • knees to elbows

    Knees to elbows is a gymnastics-based core movement performed hanging from a pull-up bar, where the knees are driven upward to make contact with the elbows. Frequently featured in knees to elbows workouts, it trains core strength, grip endurance, and body control—all under tension.

    In this workout, knees to elbows develop midline stability, lat activation, and coordination, serving as a foundational skill for more advanced movements like toes-to-bar. They’re an effective way to build functional core strength while improving shoulder and hip mobility in dynamic settings.
