2-4-6-8-10… Lateral Burpee over DB
2-4-6-8-10… Shuttle Runs

Workout Overview

This AMRAP pushes your capacity with an escalating ladder of strict pulling, compound dumbbell work, and explosive movement. The first rep scheme climbs by 1s with strict pull-ups or pullovers, while the remaining exercises increase by 2s. It’s a slow burn that turns into a lung-and-grip meltdown.

Execution and Focus

Start under control on the strict pull-ups or pullovers—don’t redline early or grip will be gone by round 3. The double DB hang clusters are heavy and dense—brace tight, cycle with rhythm. Burpees over the DBs should stay consistent—don’t sprint them. Shuttle runs build breathing pressure and reset your rhythm. Every movement builds volume—find your flow and keep transitions short.

Strategy and Finish

The key to success is pacing. Plan quick breaks for strict pull-ups as the ladder grows. Try to go unbroken on clusters until round 5, then break into 2–3 sets. The burpees and shuttles should stay at a manageable intensity—recover without stalling. Grip, lungs, and heart rate will all rise in the final 5 minutes—hang on and push into the next rep tier before time expires. High-level athletes may reach the 8–10 rep range. Push smart, finish strong.

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?

  • strict pull-up

    Strict pull-ups are a foundational upper-body strength movement performed without momentum—using only muscular effort to pull from a dead hang to chin over the bar. A cornerstone in strict pull-up workouts, this movement builds real pulling strength and control.

    In this workout, strict pull-ups target the lats, biceps, shoulders, and core. They improve body awareness, grip, and scapular control while laying the groundwork for advanced gymnastic progressions. No kip. No swing. Just pure strength.

  • shuttle run

    The shuttle run is a high-intensity, agility-based movement that involves running back and forth between two points. Common in shuttle run workouts, it develops speed, acceleration, change-of-direction skills, and aerobic capacity.

    In this workout, shuttle runs challenge your footwork, coordination, and cardiovascular endurance—especially when combined with strength movements. Whether done for distance, time, or reps, the shuttle run is a simple yet effective way to improve athletic conditioning.
