What is a "for time" workout?

A for time workout is a classic CrossFit format where the goal is to complete a set list of exercises as fast as possible. Your time becomes your score, making each for time CrossFit workout a race against the clock — and yourself.

In a typical for time workout, you'll perform a fixed number of reps or rounds of movements (e.g., squats, push-ups, burpees, or barbell lifts) and finish them as quickly as you can while maintaining good form. This format pushes you to work hard, manage fatigue, and develop both conditioning and mental toughness.

Why Try a "For Time" CrossFit Workout?

  • Builds intensity and urgency into your training

  • Encourages better pacing, efficiency, and recovery awareness

  • Easy to track progress over time — beat your previous score!

  • Works well for individual or group competition-style workouts

Whether you're doing a short sprint or a long chipper, the for time CrossFit workout format is a powerful way to test your limits and stay motivated in your training.

What kind of exercises are in this workout?

  • burpee pull up

    The burpee pull-up combines a full-body burpee with a vertical pulling movement, delivering a powerful mix of conditioning and upper body strength. Common in high-intensity burpee pull up workouts, it challenges your engine, grip, and coordination all at once.

    In this workout, burpee pull-ups spike your heart rate, test your pulling endurance, and require full-body control under fatigue. Whether used in sprint intervals or long AMRAPs, the burpee pull-up adds intensity and variety to any session.

  • box jump over

    The box jump over is a fast-paced plyometric movement that builds explosive power, agility, and cardiovascular endurance. Unlike a standard box jump, you jump onto and over the box, increasing intensity and coordination. It’s a go-to in many box jump over workouts for raising heart rate and testing athleticism.

    In this workout, box jump overs challenge your lower body drive, balance, and footwork — especially when performed under fatigue. Whether jumping laterally or facing the box, the box jump over keeps you moving with speed and precision.

  • overhead squat

    The overhead squat is a high-skill movement that develops full-body strength, mobility, balance, and core control. A key lift in many overhead squat workouts, it involves holding a barbell locked overhead while performing a deep squat — challenging both stability and flexibility.

    In this workout, overhead squats train shoulder stability, midline engagement, and leg strength, making them a valuable tool for improving movement quality and preparing for Olympic lifts like the snatch.

  • bar muscle up

    The bar muscle-up is a high-skill gymnastics movement that combines a powerful pull-up with a dip, taking you from below the bar to above it in one fluid motion. A highlight of many bar muscle up workouts, it demands upper body strength, timing, and core control.

    In this workout, bar muscle-ups challenge your grip, pulling power, and technique—making them a true test of gymnastic capacity. Whether strict or kipping, the bar muscle-up is a milestone movement in CrossFit and functional fitness.
