Overhead Grind - Crossfit Workout

2 x AMRAP 6

6 Squat Cleans – Intermediate: @40/60 | RX: @45/65
4 Burpee Pull-Ups / Bar Muscle-Ups
4 Bar Facing Burpees
6 Pull-Ups

Rest 2 min

Workout Overview

“Overhead Grind” is a back-to-back AMRAP challenge featuring technical lifting, high-skill gymnastics, and full-body conditioning. You’ll be cycling between squat cleans and pull-ups with transitions through burpee variations and gymnastics under a short time cap. It’s a burner with no space for hesitation.

Execution and Focus

Start at 80% effort—just below redline. Stay snappy on the barbell and tight on the pull movements. The gymnastics and burpees will elevate your heart rate quickly, so transition smoothly and control your breathing. Efficiency under duress is the name of the game.

Strategy and Finish

Stay fluid. Don’t grind reps early—set a pace you can match on the second AMRAP. Plan for barbell consistency and commit to each movement block with clarity. Treat the rest period seriously—recover and refocus to attack part two. How you handle the restart defines your finish.

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?

  • 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.

  • bar facing burpee

    The bar-facing burpee is a high-intensity movement that combines a chest-to-floor burpee with a two-foot jump over a barbell. It's a CrossFit staple used in many bar facing burpee workouts to build explosive power, agility, and full-body conditioning.

    In this workout, bar-facing burpees spike your heart rate, test your coordination, and demand mental grit — especially when paired with heavy lifting or fast-paced intervals. Simple, brutal, and effective.

  • burpee pull up

    The burpee pull-up combines a full-body burpee with a vertical pulling movement, delivering a powerful mix of conditioning and upper body strength. Common in high-intensity burpee pull up workouts, it challenges your engine, grip, and coordination all at once.

    In this workout, burpee pull-ups spike your heart rate, test your pulling endurance, and require full-body control under fatigue. Whether used in sprint intervals or long AMRAPs, the burpee pull-up adds intensity and variety to any session.

  • bar muscle up

    The bar muscle-up is a high-skill gymnastics movement that combines a powerful pull-up with a dip, taking you from below the bar to above it in one fluid motion. A highlight of many bar muscle up workouts, it demands upper body strength, timing, and core control.

    In this workout, bar muscle-ups challenge your grip, pulling power, and technique—making them a true test of gymnastic capacity. Whether strict or kipping, the bar muscle-up is a milestone movement in CrossFit and functional fitness.

  • squat clean

    The squat clean is a compound Olympic lift that builds explosive power, coordination, and full-body strength. A staple in many high-skill squat clean workouts, it involves lifting a barbell from the ground into a front squat, catching it deep before standing to finish the rep.

    In this workout, squat cleans challenge your hip extension, pulling mechanics, leg drive, and mobility. Whether performed heavy for strength or light for speed, the squat clean is essential for developing athleticism and efficient barbell movement.
