workout description

"For Time – 10 Rounds in 12"

10 Rounds For Time:
1 Burpee Jumping Ring Pull-Up
Demo
or 1 Ring Muscle-Up
2 Clean & Jerks @30/45 kg
Intermediate: @35/50 kg
RX: @40/60 kg
3 Front Squats (same bar)
4 Bar-Facing Burpees

Time Cap: 12 minutes

This fast-paced WOD challenges technical efficiency under pressure. With just 1 gymnastics rep per round, precision matters. The clean & jerks demand focus while fatigued, and front squats load the legs ahead of a high-hip burpee effort. Keep transitions sharp and aim to stay near a one-minute-per-round pace.

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?

  • Ring Pull-Ups

    Ring pull-ups are a gymnastic pulling movement performed on unstable rings, demanding more control, grip strength, and shoulder stability than bar pull-ups. A core element in ring pull-up workouts, this movement is excellent for building raw upper-body pulling strength and joint health.

    In this workout, ring pull-ups target the lats, biceps, and midline while improving scapular control and body awareness. The instability of the rings forces constant micro-adjustments, making each rep a true test of strength and coordination.

  • Ring Muscle-Ups

    The ring muscle-up is a high-skill gymnastic movement that combines a pull-up and a dip into one explosive, fluid transition from below to above the rings. A key feature in ring muscle up workouts, it’s a benchmark of upper-body strength, technique, and control.

    In this workout, ring muscle-ups build pulling power, pressing strength, and total-body coordination. The movement develops timing, grip, and midline tension while testing athleticism and grit. It’s an elite gymnastic skill and a rewarding challenge for any functional fitness athlete.

  • bar facing burpee

    The bar-facing burpee is a high-intensity movement that combines a chest-to-floor burpee with a two-foot jump over a barbell. It's a CrossFit staple used in many bar facing burpee workouts to build explosive power, agility, and full-body conditioning.

    In this workout, bar-facing burpees spike your heart rate, test your coordination, and demand mental grit — especially when paired with heavy lifting or fast-paced intervals. Simple, brutal, and effective.

  • clean and jerk

    The clean and jerk is a foundational Olympic lift that develops full-body power, coordination, and strength. A key movement in many strength and conditioning programs, the clean and jerk workout combines a pull from the ground (clean) with an explosive overhead lift (jerk).

    In this workout, clean and jerks train your hips, legs, shoulders, and core, making it one of the most effective lifts for building athletic performance. Whether performed heavy for strength or light for speed, the clean and jerk is essential for total-body development.

  • jerk

    The jerk is a powerful Olympic lifting movement that drives a barbell from shoulder to overhead with explosive force. Central to advanced jerk workouts, it typically follows a clean and is executed by dipping and driving the bar overhead—either with a split stance or power stance.

    In this workout, the jerk builds overhead strength, power, and coordination while demanding precision and speed. It trains the legs, core, and shoulders simultaneously, making it an essential movement for athletes looking to improve explosive strength and total-body stability under load.
