What’s in “THE COME UP”?
This AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible) challenge combines high-intensity, functional movements designed to test and improve your physical capabilities. Here’s what you can expect:
- 10 Commando Pull-Ups: A gritty test of upper body strength and endurance.
- 20 Knuckle Push-Ups: Enhance your arm, shoulder, and chest strength with a focus on stability.
- 10 Hanging Leg Raises: Target your core muscles while also challenging your grip and forearm strength.

Making It Work For You
Whether you’re at the Academy of Self Defense or looking for home workout options, “THE COME UP” is adaptable. No pull-up bar? No worries! Try bent-over rows with a heavy backpack as an alternative. Swap double unders with jumping jacks or high knees if you don’t have a jump rope. Remember, it’s about movement and progression, not perfection.
