"15-Minute Climb to Chaos"

In this ascending ladder AMRAP, you'll push as high as you can in 15 minutes:

Start with 2 reps of each:

Knee raises, knees to elbows, or toes-to-bar

Box jumps

Dumbbell thrusters

Then 4 reps of each, then 6, 8, 10, and so on…
Each round gets heavier on your lungs and legs, so manage your pace and stay calm as the reps build!

The challenge?
Stay smooth early — then survive the thrusters!

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?

  • 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.

  • Box jump

    The box jump is a plyometric movement that builds explosive power, coordination, and lower body strength. It’s a key component in many high-intensity box jump workouts, often used to develop speed, agility, and stamina.

    In this workout, box jumps challenge your legs, core, and cardiovascular system, while also training quick reaction and balance. Whether performed at a moderate pace or in sprint intervals, the box jump is a powerful tool for improving athletic performance.

  • knee raises

    Knee raises are a core-focused gymnastics movement that builds abdominal strength, hip flexor control, and grip endurance. Common in beginner and advanced knee raise workouts, they’re performed hanging from a pull-up bar, bringing the knees toward the chest.

    In this workout, knee raises train midline stability and coordination, making them a great progression toward toes-to-bar. Whether strict or kipping, knee raises are an effective and scalable movement for developing strong, functional core strength.

  • knees to elbows

    Knees to elbows is a gymnastics-based core movement performed hanging from a pull-up bar, where the knees are driven upward to make contact with the elbows. Frequently featured in knees to elbows workouts, it trains core strength, grip endurance, and body control—all under tension.

    In this workout, knees to elbows develop midline stability, lat activation, and coordination, serving as a foundational skill for more advanced movements like toes-to-bar. They’re an effective way to build functional core strength while improving shoulder and hip mobility in dynamic settings.
