Workout Overview

“Engine x Skill” mixes gymnastic complexity, full-body dumbbell work, and machine max efforts across two short AMRAPs. You’ll run this cycle twice, challenging your stamina and your ability to rebound under fatigue. Each AMRAP ends with a machine sprint for max calories—how you manage output early will dictate your finish.

Execution and Focus

Stay technical on the devil’s press and clean and jerks—these demand power with precision. Manage grip early through pulling elements and dumbbell squats. When you hit the ski and bike, it’s time to empty the tank. Focus on posture and push through the legs, not just arms. Every movement needs to be crisp to maintain flow.

Strategy and Finish

Treat the first round as a benchmark. Don’t redline too early. Keep transitions tight and avoid sloppy reps. Save a gear for the final AMRAP—your ability to recover and push on the bike will define success. This one is a war of pacing, posture, and patience.

What is an "for time" 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?

  • double dumbbell devil’s press

    The double dumbbell devil’s press combines a burpee with a ground-to-overhead dumbbell swing-snatch motion using both arms. Common in double dumbbell devil’s press workouts, this hybrid movement pushes conditioning, coordination, and full-body strength.

    In this workout, double dumbbell devil’s presses challenge grip, hip extension, shoulder endurance, and cardiovascular capacity. It’s a brutal, no-nonsense movement perfect for high-intensity metcons where every rep tests grit and engine.

  • 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.

  • Assault Bike

    The Assault Bike is a fan-powered machine that delivers one of the most effective full-body conditioning challenges in fitness. Common in high-intensity assault bike workouts, it trains your legs, arms, and lungs all at once — and responds directly to how hard you push.

    In this workout, the Assault Bike is used to build power, stamina, and mental toughness. Whether you're sprinting for calories or holding a steady pace, the Assault Bike is perfect for intervals, finishers, or pure engine tests.

  • Pull up

    The pull-up is a foundational bodyweight movement that builds upper body strength, focusing on your back, shoulders, arms, and core. A staple in almost every pull-up workout, it's key for developing gymnastics capacity and functional pulling power.

    In this workout, pull-ups challenge your grip, coordination, and endurance — especially under fatigue. Whether strict, kipping, or butterfly, the pull-up remains one of the most effective and scalable exercises in CrossFit.

  • Ski Erg

    The SkiErg is a low-impact, high-intensity cardio machine that simulates double-pole skiing. It’s a favorite in many SkiErg workouts for building aerobic capacity, upper body endurance, and total-body coordination.

    In this workout, the SkiErg targets your lats, core, triceps, and legs, offering a unique way to train both power and pacing. Whether you're sprinting for calories or grinding out meters, the SkiErg delivers a serious conditioning challenge without stressing the joints.

  • front squat

    The front squat is a fundamental strength movement that targets the quads, glutes, core, and upper back. Known for its upright posture and barbell position on the shoulders, it’s a key lift in Olympic lifting and a staple in any front squat workout.

    In this workout, front squats build leg strength, mobility, and posture, while reinforcing a strong core under load. Whether used for volume, tempo, or heavy singles, the front squat is essential for developing power and movement efficiency.

  • chest to bar

    The chest-to-bar pull-up is a high-skill gymnastics movement that takes traditional pull-ups further by requiring the chest to make contact with the bar. Common in competitive CrossFit and advanced chest to bar workouts, it builds upper body strength, pulling power, and grip endurance.

    In this workout, chest-to-bar pull-ups challenge your lats, arms, core, and coordination—especially under high reps or in combination with other movements. Whether performed strict, kipping, or butterfly, chest-to-bar is a true test of bodyweight control and stamina.

  • clean and jerk

    The clean and jerk is a foundational Olympic lift that develops full-body power, coordination, and strength. A key movement in many strength and conditioning programs, the clean and jerk workout combines a pull from the ground (clean) with an explosive overhead lift (jerk).

    In this workout, clean and jerks train your hips, legs, shoulders, and core, making it one of the most effective lifts for building athletic performance. Whether performed heavy for strength or light for speed, the clean and jerk is essential for total-body development.

  • jerk

    The jerk is a powerful Olympic lifting movement that drives a barbell from shoulder to overhead with explosive force. Central to advanced jerk workouts, it typically follows a clean and is executed by dipping and driving the bar overhead—either with a split stance or power stance.

    In this workout, the jerk builds overhead strength, power, and coordination while demanding precision and speed. It trains the legs, core, and shoulders simultaneously, making it an essential movement for athletes looking to improve explosive strength and total-body stability under load.
