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?

  • dumbbell snatch

    The dumbbell snatch is a powerful, full-body movement that builds explosiveness, coordination, and core strength. Commonly used in CrossFit, a dumbbell snatch workout challenges both strength and endurance while training one side of the body at a time.

    In this workout, dumbbell snatches help increase intensity, improve unilateral balance, and add variety to your training. Whether you're a beginner or advanced athlete, the dumbbell snatch workout format can be easily scaled and is highly effective for total-body conditioning.

  • lateral jump over dumbbell

    Lateral jumps over a dumbbell are a plyometric conditioning movement that involves jumping side-to-side over a dumbbell with speed and control. Common in lateral jump over dumbbell workouts, this movement builds explosive lateral power, agility, and cardiovascular capacity.

    In this workout, lateral jumps over a dumbbell improve coordination, foot speed, and lower-body reactivity. They’re simple, effective, and scalable—perfect for adding intensity and athleticism to any metcon or warm-up.

  • Pistol Squats on a Bench

    Pistol squats on a bench are a scaled variation of the full pistol squat, where the athlete lowers onto and rises from a bench or box on one leg. In pistol squat on bench workouts, this movement builds single-leg strength, balance, and mobility—while offering more control and support than the full version.

    In this workout, pistol squats on a bench improve hip and ankle mobility, knee stability, and unilateral coordination. They’re perfect for developing strength toward full pistols, correcting imbalances, and training the lower body with minimal equipment.

  • T2B

    Toes to bar is a powerful gymnastics movement that targets your core, grip, lats, and hip flexors, making it a key element in many high-intensity toes to bar workouts.

    In this workout, toes to bar challenge your core strength, rhythm, and coordination while under fatigue. Whether you're kipping or going strict, it’s an essential skill for improving gymnastics capacity and midline control in CrossFit.

  • dumbbell clean

    The dumbbell clean is a powerful movement that develops explosiveness, coordination, and full-body strength, using one or two dumbbells. Common in functional fitness and dumbbell clean workouts, it trains hip extension, pulling power, and control from the ground to the shoulders.

    In this workout, dumbbell cleans challenge your grip, timing, and endurance, while offering a versatile alternative to barbell lifting. Whether performed single-arm or double-arm, the dumbbell clean is ideal for building functional strength and conditioning.

  • burpee over dumbbell

    The burpee over dumbbell adds a dynamic twist to the classic burpee by including a lateral jump over one or two dumbbells. This movement increases intensity, coordination, and agility, making it a popular choice in fast-paced burpee over dumbbell workouts.

    In this workout, burpees over dumbbells push your cardio capacity, lower body explosiveness, and mental grit. Whether used in intervals or for total reps, this variation adds variety and challenge to any conditioning session.

  • knee raises

    Knee raises are a core-focused gymnastics movement that builds abdominal strength, hip flexor control, and grip endurance. Common in beginner and advanced knee raise workouts, they’re performed hanging from a pull-up bar, bringing the knees toward the chest.

    In this workout, knee raises train midline stability and coordination, making them a great progression toward toes-to-bar. Whether strict or kipping, knee raises are an effective and scalable movement for developing strong, functional core strength.

  • knees to elbows

    Knees to elbows is a gymnastics-based core movement performed hanging from a pull-up bar, where the knees are driven upward to make contact with the elbows. Frequently featured in knees to elbows workouts, it trains core strength, grip endurance, and body control—all under tension.

    In this workout, knees to elbows develop midline stability, lat activation, and coordination, serving as a foundational skill for more advanced movements like toes-to-bar. They’re an effective way to build functional core strength while improving shoulder and hip mobility in dynamic settings.
