workout description

"For Time – Buy In, Grind, Cash Out"

This full-body effort opens with a 500m Ski Erg buy-in, then moves into 4 tough rounds of overhead squats, pulling, and explosive box jumps. Just when your legs are begging for mercy, you'll finish with a 1,000m bike sprint to the finish line.

Overhead squats challenge your mobility and control, while the pulling and jumping keep the heart rate high. Save something in the tank for the final bike push!

Time Cap: 18 minutes
Goal: Move steady through the rounds and empty the tank on the bike.

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.
