A Benchmark Workout That Will Test your Fitness and Stamina

4th July 2019

LO-tech, HI-effect
ALL LEVELS / strength and endurance / AMRAP / 10 min
Equipment: high bar, TRX.

Get ready for this month’s workout — a simple strength-endurance AMRAP workout that will test your stamina. AMRAP workout sounds complicated, but it just stands for ‘As Many Reps/Rounds As Possible’ — and with this workout, you will set the timer to ten minutes and complete as many rounds as you can in that time.

This workout is made up of just three exercises performed back to back for a total of ten minutes – don’t forget to start your timer.

Perform the exercises in the following order:

  1. Pull-up: 5 reps
  2. Burpee: 5 reps
  3. Jumping Jacks: 25 reps

Complete as many full rounds as possible in 10 minutes. If you finish the workout mid-way during a round, then your score will be the number of total rounds plus the number of completed reps in the final round — e.g. five rounds plus fifteen reps.

SCALING
HARD Full Pull-up (chin to bar)
Full Burpee (with jump)
Jumping Jacks
MODERATE Jumping Pull-up (chin to bar)
