"AMRAP 16 – Climb, Ride, Lift, Clean"

2 Rope Pulls (Demo)
or Rope Climbs
12/15 Calories on Standing Bike

This AMRAP balances grunt work with conditioning and barbell cycling. The rope movement challenges pulling power and coordination, while the bike and barbell create leg fatigue that compounds round after round. One-arm devil’s cleans demand unilateral control and consistency under fatigue. Move efficiently and stay steady across transitions.

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?

  • Standing Bike

    The standing bike workout involves riding an air bike or assault bike while remaining off the seat, activating more muscles and increasing intensity. Used in high-power standing bike workouts, this variation drives heart rate and demands full-body effort—especially from the quads, glutes, and core.

    In this workout, standing bike intervals train power output, leg endurance, and aerobic capacity. The standing position shifts the challenge to muscular control and posture, making it an excellent conditioning tool for short sprints or intense EMOM-style formats.

  • One-Arm Devil’s Clean

    The one-arm devil’s clean combines a burpee with a single-arm dumbbell clean—merging cardio intensity with unilateral power. Featured in one-arm devil’s clean workouts, this hybrid movement improves conditioning, coordination, and midline stability.

    In this workout, one-arm devil’s cleans challenge grip strength, core control, and explosive hip extension—all while pushing your aerobic threshold. Alternating sides adds a balance and rotational demand, making it a scalable and highly effective full-body conditioning tool.

  • thrusters

    The thruster is a full-body compound movement that combines a front squat with an overhead press, making it one of the most demanding and effective exercises in any thruster workout.

    In this workout, thrusters develop leg drive, shoulder endurance, and core stability, all while elevating your heart rate. Whether using a barbell, dumbbells, or kettlebells, the thruster is a powerful tool for building strength, power, and conditioning — fast.

  • 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.

  • rope pull

    The rope pull is a scalable alternative to rope climbs that builds upper body pulling strength, grip endurance, and core stability. Common in rope pull workouts, it’s typically performed from a seated or standing position, pulling the rope hand-over-hand for distance or reps.

    In this workout, rope pulls train your lats, biceps, and midline, while mimicking the movement pattern of a rope climb without leaving the ground. They’re perfect for building vertical pulling capacity in a safe, accessible way.
