Movements

Understand the task

The barbell loads differ between deadlifts and squat cleans. Prepare that difference before starting rather than losing the AMRAP to unplanned plate changes.

Pacing and setup

Use a gymnastics option you can repeat for 20 minutes and choose barbell loads that remain controlled after it. Score rounds plus repetitions and record all substitutions.

Score your session

Record complete rounds and the extra repetitions from the unfinished round when the clock ends. Use the same movement standards throughout. Keep a written round count so fatigue does not change the sequence.

Prepare and adapt

Warm up progressively, then rehearse the listed movements and transitions with lighter loads or easier variations. Choose scaling before the clock starts: adjust load, repetitions, distance or movement difficulty to create a task you can complete with control. These adaptations change the prescription, so record them beside your score.

For a useful retest, repeat the same equipment, distances, loads and movement standards. A result from a scaled version is a training record in its own right; it is not directly interchangeable with the full prescribed task.
