The countdown timer built for As Many Rounds As Possible workouts
AMRAP stands for As Many Rounds As Possible (sometimes As Many Reps As Possible). You set a time cap — typically 10, 15, or 20 minutes — and perform a fixed sequence of movements as many times as you can before the clock runs out. Your score is the total number of complete rounds, plus any additional reps completed in a partial round.
AMRAP is one of the most common formats in CrossFit programming because it rewards both speed and pacing. There is no finish line — the goal is to keep moving at maximum sustainable effort for the entire time cap. A descending clock creates urgency: watching time disappear drives athletes harder than a count-up timer does.
Common AMRAP movements include pull-ups, push-ups, air squats, burpees, kettlebell swings, and box jumps — any movement that can be cycled repeatedly for the duration of the time cap.
The timer counts down to zero and plays a long beep when the time cap is reached. Record your rounds and reps completed for your score.
| Format | Time cap | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Short AMRAP | 7–10 min | Conditioning finisher |
| Standard AMRAP | 15–20 min | Main WOD |
| Long AMRAP | 25–30 min | Endurance WOD |
| Cindy (benchmark) | 20 min | 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 15 squats |
| Mary (benchmark) | 20 min | 5 HSPU, 10 pistols, 15 pull-ups |
All AMRAP formats use the same timer setup in Box Timer: select Down and set your time cap.
