The Workout description

Workout Overview

“Engine Splitter” delivers three distinct 6-minute AMRAP intervals with targeted intensity across conditioning and gymnastics. Each segment features a dedicated combination of cardio and skill, pushing different metabolic systems while providing short rest windows for reset. The bike-to-snatch, row-to-swing, and run-to-HSPU pairings demand stamina, pacing awareness, and control under fatigue. It’s structured to isolate intensity bursts and reward athletes who can recalibrate quickly between rounds.

Execution and Focus

In the first AMRAP, start steady on the bike erg—hold a power pace without spiking early, then transition into KB snatches, alternating arms with focus on hip drive and stability. The second piece shifts to the rower—keep strokes efficient and maximize calories per pull. Russian swings should be snappy and safe, with neutral spine and consistent mechanics. For the final AMRAP, the 200 m run will elevate heart rate. Enter HSPUs composed—keep your kip tight and your rhythm unbroken when possible. Rest periods are part of the strategy—use them to clear fatigue, lower heart rate, and mentally reset.

Strategy and Finish

This workout is about sustaining intensity across multiple modes. Don’t treat each 6-minute block as a sprint—pace smart and build output round by round. Efficiency, transition speed, and recovery management will separate the top performers. This bike erg workout, kettlebell snatch workout, row workout, kettlebell swing workout, running workout, handstand push-up workout, and AMRAP workout layers effort intelligently, making it a potent tool for testing both aerobic capacity and movement precision across disciplines.

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?

  • handstand 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.

  • Row Erg

    Rowing is a low-impact, full-body movement that builds cardiovascular endurance, leg drive, and pulling strength. It’s a staple in many CrossFit workouts because it trains both aerobic capacity and muscular coordination.

    In this rowing workout, each effort helps develop power output, pacing control, and total-body stamina — all while being easy on the joints. Whether you're sprinting for calories or pacing for meters, rowing is one of the most effective tools for conditioning.

  • bike erg

    The BikeErg is a fan-powered cycling machine that delivers a smooth, low-impact workout focused on leg power, aerobic endurance, and pacing control. Common in BikeErg workouts, it's perfect for both steady-state conditioning and high-intensity intervals.

    In this workout, the BikeErg builds quad and glute strength, while challenging your engine and recovery. Whether you're sprinting for calories or logging meters, the BikeErg is a versatile tool for improving cardiovascular fitness in a joint-friendly way.

  • 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.

  • kettlebell snatch

    The kettlebell snatch is a dynamic, single-arm movement that builds explosive power, grip strength, and shoulder stability. A staple in many kettlebell snatch workouts, it moves the bell from swing to overhead in one smooth motion, training both strength and endurance.

    In this workout, kettlebell snatches improve hip drive, coordination, and conditioning while challenging core control and unilateral strength. Whether for reps or intervals, the kettlebell snatch delivers a powerful full-body challenge.

  • running

    Running is one of the most effective ways to build cardiovascular endurance, leg strength, and mental toughness. A foundational element in many running workouts, it adds intensity and pacing challenges to both short sprints and longer distances.

    In this workout, running boosts your engine, footwork, and recovery capacity, especially when paired with strength or skill-based movements. Whether you're hitting meters or minutes, running is essential for building a well-rounded fitness base.
