Common Questions
What is a 20-minute AMRAP?
A 20-minute AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible) means you perform a set sequence of movements repeatedly for 20 minutes, counting your total rounds. It's one of the most common formats in competitive functional fitness.
How should I pace a 20-minute AMRAP?
Target a pace you can sustain for the full 20 minutes — typically 85–90% of max effort. Go out too fast and you'll fade after 10 minutes. A consistent, slightly uncomfortable pace beats a sprint-and-collapse approach.
What is a good score for a 20-minute AMRAP?
Scores depend entirely on the specific movements and rep counts. Track your own progress across repeated workouts rather than comparing to others initially. Improvement over time is the real benchmark.
How many rounds is a good 20-minute AMRAP score?
For a standard 3-movement AMRAP (e.g., 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 15 air squats), a common benchmark is: Beginner 5–8 rounds, Intermediate 10–14 rounds (Cindy standard), Advanced 15+ rounds.
