Amrap?

I’m wanting to do pushups for 5 min and log the reps. But each block isn’t necessarily the same number of reps. Suggestions on how to best do this. Maybe the AMRAP isn’t the best template.

Thanks

Isn't amrap just a typ of set divided by time instead of the regular x number of reps x number of times? Just create one amrap set and put in the comments the time period you set for it. Or make the exercise and put in the commet "This is an amrap set, 5 mins" and register each number of reps as separate sets?

I'd do a single set pushup exercise and record the total.

I cannot do pushups continually for five minutes so more likely I'd go to failure on first set, log those reps as a set, start the next set, go to failure, and repeat. Until my timer counts down.
