With a running clock perform all four AMRAPs. Athlete must perform at least the same number of burpees in the last AMRAP as in the first. Otherwise penalty is 4x the difference (for example: 50 burpees in the first AMRAP, but only 45 burpees in the last AMRAP; penalty is 4×5 = 20 extra burpees). In the third AMRAP, penalty for breaking at any time during the cleans, front squats and clean-and-jerks is 10 push-ups. Penalty reps do not count toward the total score.

  • 4 Burpees
  • 4 Double Kettlebell Deadlifts (2×16/12 kg) (between the feet)

Nurpees (or no-push-up burpees) are burpees without the push-up. In this workout neither a jump nor an overhead clap is required, either. Merely drop to plank, pop the hips up and jump the feet back to the hands and stand back up fully for one repetition. For the deadlifts, both kettlebells must start and end on the ground between the athlete’s feet.
