Give yourself time to recover but keep your breaks short and efficient.

9. Amanda

9-7-5 Reps for Time:

  • Ring Muscle-Ups
  • Squat Snatches (135/95 lbs)

Amanda is one of the CrossFit Girl WODs, used over time to assess an athlete’s progress.

With two highly technical movements – the gymnastics movement of the muscle-up and the Olympic lift movement of the squat snatch – and low rep volume, the Amanda workout is one of the more complex and challenging CrossFit workouts.

This workout is designed to be a sprint, so perfecting your technique for a strong base will help you with efficiency and speed.

  • Beginner: 13-15 minutes
  • Intermediate: 10-12 minutes
  • Advanced: 8-9 minutes
  • Elite: 5-7 minutes
