Score is rounds and reps all totaled together across all 3 AMRAPs. Start from the beginning each time. Add all the round and add all the reps.

Workout Overview & Intended Stimulus

3 × 6-Minute AMRAPs (with 2:00 Rest)

Machine effort paired with increasingly heavy hang power cleans .

Each interval keeps the same machine work while the barbell:

Gets heavier

Drops in reps

This shifts the workout from:

Engine → Barbell Cycling → Heavy Barbell Under Fatigue

What This Workout Is Trying to Train

This is a repeatable power output workout .

The goal is to develop the ability to:

Push your engine for short intervals

Recover quickly

Then repeat that effort with a heavier barbell

This is not one long grind. It’s three hard efforts .

How Each Interval Should Feel

AMRAP 1 — Light Barbell / Fast Pace

You should move quickly and cycle the barbell in 1–2 sets .

Breathing should be the main limiter.

AMRAP 2 — Moderate Barbell / Controlled Pace

Now the barbell becomes noticeable.

AMRAP 3 — Heavy Barbell / Strength Under Fatigue

The machine will feel harder and the barbell will demand respect.

The goal is to minimize drop-off between rounds, not win the first one.

Pacing Expectations

Machine pace = consistent across all 3 intervals

First round should feel slightly conservative

Last round should feel like a push

If round 1 is a sprint, round 3 becomes survival.

What This Should Feel Like Overall

Rising fatigue across the workout

Short recovery periods that matter

Increasing barbell difficulty without chaos

This workout rewards athletes who:

Manage pacing early

Stay composed under fatigue

Respect the heavier barbell late
