Climb and Crush - Crossfit Workout

AMRAP 17

12 KB Goblet Squats Intermediate: @12/16 | RX: @16/24
3 Rope Climbs
9 Burpee over KB
12 KB Clean & Jerk
1 Legless Rope Climb
4 Wall Walks

Workout Overview

“Climb and Crush” is a challenging 17-minute AMRAP that targets grip, stamina, coordination, and overhead stability. You’ll cycle through kettlebell goblet squats, rope climbs, burpees, clean & jerks, and wall walks—with a legless rope climb thrown in for an added punch. Every round builds on full-body fatigue and forces strategic pacing under pressure.

Execution and Focus

Start each round with clean and upright KB goblet squats—tight midline, full depth. Climb efficiently with strong footwork and arms for the rope climbs, and conserve for the legless rep later. Burpee over KB should be fast but safe—step or jump depending on your engine. Use smooth mechanics on the KB clean & jerks, and transition right into the legless rope climb with focus. Wall walks demand core control—don’t rush or flare out.

Strategy and Finish

This workout is all about keeping moving without redlining. Break the clean & jerks into 2 sets if needed and shake out between rope climbs. Legless climbs should be paced—plan your arms and use the full pull. Push to finish each round strong on wall walks. Score is total rounds and reps completed. Play smart, breathe steady, and climb with intent.

What is an "AMRAP" workout?

An AMRAP workout — short for "As Many Rounds (or Reps) As Possible" — is a popular format in CrossFit workouts and functional fitness training. In an AMRAP CrossFit workout, you’re given a set amount of time (e.g., 10, 12, or 20 minutes) to complete as many rounds or repetitions as possible of a specific set of exercises.

This training style is known for being simple, scalable, and highly effective. Whether you're performing a bodyweight circuit or combining barbell and cardio movements, an AMRAP workout pushes your limits and helps build endurance, strength, and mental toughness.

Why Choose an AMRAP CrossFit Workout?

  • Time-efficient: Great for busy schedules — you know exactly how long the workout takes.

  • Self-paced intensity: Go as hard as you can or focus on movement quality depending on your goal.

  • Easy to scale: Modify weights, reps, or movements to fit your fitness level.

  • Motivating structure: The challenge to beat your previous round count adds a competitive edge.

Whether you're training at home or at your CrossFit box, an AMRAP workout is a fun and functional way to boost your fitness, track your progress, and build resilience. Explore our library of AMRAP CrossFit workouts and get inspired to move!

What kind of exercises are in this workout?

  • legless rope climb

    Legless rope climbs are a high-skill gymnastics movement where the athlete climbs a rope using only their arms. Featured in legless rope climb workouts, this drill tests upper-body pulling strength, grip endurance, and total-body tension.

    In this workout, legless rope climbs train the lats, biceps, forearms, and core while demanding mental grit and body awareness. They’re a benchmark of advanced pulling capacity and often used in competitive programming for athletes who need to express strength under fatigue.

  • double dumbbell push press

    The double dumbbell push press uses leg drive to press two dumbbells overhead in one powerful movement. Frequently programmed in double dumbbell push press workouts, it builds strength, endurance, and coordination across the shoulders, triceps, and legs.

    In this workout, double dumbbell push presses develop explosive overhead power while challenging midline stability and balance. The independent arm loading makes it ideal for addressing imbalances and reinforcing control during fast-paced functional training.

  • burpee over kettlebell

    Burpee over kettlebell is a fast-paced conditioning movement that combines a standard burpee with a lateral jump over a kettlebell. Frequently used in burpee over kettlebell workouts, this variation adds a reactive, spatial element that increases intensity and coordination.

    In this workout, burpee over kettlebell challenges full-body endurance, agility, and explosive power. The low obstacle keeps transitions fast and fluid, making it a great choice for high-rep metcons or as a burner in interval-style workouts.

  • wall walk

    The wall walk is a challenging bodyweight movement that builds shoulder strength, core stability, and coordination. Popular in gymnastics-style training and wall walk workouts, it requires control and confidence moving upside down.

    In this workout, wall walks train overhead pressing strength and midline engagement while developing skills for handstand-based movements. Whether scaled or RX, the wall walk is a highly effective way to build upper body endurance and body awareness.

  • rope climb

    The rope climb is a classic functional fitness movement that develops upper body pulling strength, grip endurance, and core control. Frequently featured in rope climb workouts, it challenges both technique and toughness.

    In this workout, rope climbs train your lats, arms, and abs, while demanding coordination and efficient footwork. Whether performed legless or with a J-hook, the rope climb builds confidence and capacity in gymnastics-style pulling.

  • kettlebell clean and jerk

    The kettlebell clean and jerk is a powerful two-phase movement that develops full-body strength, coordination, and endurance. Common in functional fitness and kettlebell clean and jerk workouts, it combines a clean (to rack position) with an overhead jerk — all with one fluid kettlebell motion.

    In this workout, the kettlebell clean and jerk trains hip drive, shoulder stability, and core control, making it perfect for building functional strength and improving work capacity. Whether performed single-arm or double, it’s a versatile and effective compound movement.
