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?

  • D-Ball Over Box

    D-ball over box is a gritty, functional movement where a heavy medicine ball is lifted from the ground and thrown over a box. Central in d-ball over box workouts, it combines lifting power, explosive hip drive, and awkward-object control.

    In this workout, d-ball over box trains the posterior chain, grip, and midline under real-world tension. The high output and full-body demand make it ideal for building work capacity and raw strength. Expect a mental and physical grind—especially with higher reps or heavier loads.

  • Burpee Over Box

    The burpee over box merges a burpee with a lateral or forward jump over a box—without the need to land on top. Burpee over box workouts push cardio, explosiveness, and agility in a fast-paced flow that tests both heart and legs.

    In this workout, burpee over box demands coordination and resilience. It eliminates pause points, forcing you to stay moving while building aerobic capacity, lower-body strength, and mental grit. Perfect for conditioning pieces where you need to keep moving—fast.

  • D-Ball Squat Clean

    The d-ball squat clean is a strongman-style lift that moves a heavy medicine ball from the ground directly into a full squat catch. A powerful movement in d-ball squat clean workouts, it challenges timing, mobility, and brute strength.

    In this workout, d-ball squat cleans develop leg strength, hip extension, and trunk control—all while handling an unstable, awkward object. The movement pattern builds coordination under load and is excellent for training real-world functional strength.

  • handstand push-up

    The handstand push-up is a high-skill bodyweight movement that builds shoulder strength, balance, and core control. Common in advanced handstand push-up workouts, it challenges your upper body like few other movements.

    In this workout, handstand push-ups develop pressing power and gymnastic control under fatigue. Whether performed strict or kipping, the handstand push-up is a true test of body awareness and upper body stamina.

  • Ski Erg

    The SkiErg is a low-impact, high-intensity cardio machine that simulates double-pole skiing. It’s a favorite in many SkiErg workouts for building aerobic capacity, upper body endurance, and total-body coordination.

    In this workout, the SkiErg targets your lats, core, triceps, and legs, offering a unique way to train both power and pacing. Whether you're sprinting for calories or grinding out meters, the SkiErg delivers a serious conditioning challenge without stressing the joints.

  • pike push up

    The pike push-up is a bodyweight movement that targets the shoulders, triceps, and upper chest, making it a great progression toward handstand push-ups. It’s frequently used in pike push-up workouts to build overhead pressing strength and body control.

    In this workout, pike push-ups help develop shoulder endurance, balance, and coordination, especially when performed under fatigue. Whether done on the floor or with feet elevated, the pike push-up is a scalable and effective gymnastic movement.
