Cindy
AMRAP in 20 minutes: 5 Pullups, 10 Pushups, 15 Squats. As many rounds as possible.
One of the most popular CrossFit benchmarks. The 5-10-15 round is simple; twenty minutes of it is not. A great measuring stick you can retest every few weeks.
- Pullups 5 reps
- Pushups 10 reps
- Squats 15 reps

How to pace it
Cindy is won in the first ten minutes by going slow. Most people blow up chasing big early rounds and fall apart by minute twelve. Settle into one round every 60–75 seconds, break nothing, and keep your transitions tight — the clock rewards a steady pace, not heroics. A solid score is 15–20 rounds; 25+ is elite. If pull-ups are your limiter, scale to jumping pull-ups or ring rows so you never have to stop moving.
How the camera counts it
For MyRepsCount to count each rep, hit full range every time: chin over the bar on pull-ups, chest to the floor with locked-out arms on push-ups, and hip crease below the knee on squats. Set your phone about six to eight feet back at hip height so it sees your whole body through the round — that way the count keeps climbing while you keep your hands on the bar and the floor, not on a clicker.
Why it works
The 5-10-15 scheme is a near-perfect pull, push, and legs balance, and twenty unbroken minutes of it turns a simple round into a serious engine builder. Because it's the exact same round every time, Cindy is an ideal benchmark: retest it every four to six weeks and your round count becomes a clean, honest measure of your conditioning.
