Ramp Rounds - Crossfit Workout

AMRAP 12

2-4-6-8-10-12…
Ground to Overhead – Intermediate: @35/50 | RX: @40/60
Back Rack Reverse Lunges
Bar Facing Burpees

Workout Overview

“Ramp Rounds” is a classic AMRAP with a rep-ladder format that increases volume every round. You’ll cycle through three gritty movements—barbell ground to overhead, back rack reverse lunges, and bar-facing burpees. The focus is on staying composed as volume builds and barbell fatigue sets in.

Execution and Focus

Start steady and stay technical. Use a clean & jerk or snatch based on efficiency for the ground to overhead, but don’t rush early reps. For lunges, brace through the core and maintain consistent steps, keeping the barbell steady in the back rack. Bar-facing burpees should be fluid and paced—don’t spike too early.

Strategy and Finish

The ladder format rewards smart pacing. Early rounds should feel quick and snappy. Break up the barbell if needed, but minimize transition times. The challenge intensifies as rounds progress—set a goal to hit the round of 12 or beyond. Grip and legs will burn—focus on breath and rhythm under fatigue.

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?

  • 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.

  • ground to overhead

    The ground-to-overhead movement trains your ability to lift a weight from the floor all the way to a locked-out position overhead — using any technique, such as a snatch, clean and jerk, or clean and press. It’s a versatile choice in any ground to overhead workout, combining full-body strength, speed, and coordination.

    In this workout, ground-to-overhead challenges your posterior chain, shoulders, and core, while allowing flexibility in how you move the load efficiently. It’s perfect for functional fitness, especially when time and intensity matter.
