Overview. This AMRAP 40 is structured in three blocks: a triplet where the gymnastics progresses each round (T2B → C2B → HSPU), a grunt work triplet with heavy deadlifts, box jump overs, and a long machine, finally finishing with max-distance BikeErg in the remaining time.
The volume builds steadily, and the real challenge is staying consistent through the first two parts while having little left in the tank for a final push on the bike.
Strategy.Start the run at no faster than your 5k pace (same on the ski). The intent is to keep steady through all 3 rounds. If you’re confident, can go unbroken on the gymnastics, or break to 2-3 sets (open with a bigger one). If needed, chip away with smaller sets but the main thing is to keep moving through the sets (vs big set followed by excessive rest or getting stuck).
The deadlifts might feel surprisingly heavy with the high heart rate and some grip fatigue from the 1st part. Don’t hesitate to break them up (or go to quick singles even after hitting a set of 5-7) if needed. You can make up a lot of time by being fast/consistent on the box jump overs. The main thing to manage in this segment is your heart/breath rate so that you don’t need to take big breaks before/in the middle of the deadlift/box jump over.
Once you get to the BikeErg, focus on building up, then holding consistent wattage and staying mentally engaged. Smooth and steady with a push in the final minute for a strong finish.
Instructions. Plan your layout in advance so you’re not navigating a maze mid-workout. Machines should be close together; place your barbell and box in a clear zone with minimal turnaround.
Debrief. Take 2–3 minutes after the workout to reflect
– Were you able to stay consistent across the three rounds of gymnastics?
– How did the deadlifts affect your effort and breathing in the second part?
– Did you pace the machines well enough to finish strong on the BikeErg?
– What’s one movement you felt confident in? What’s one part of your pacing that you’d adjust for better output next time?
