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 over bar

    The burpee over bar adds an explosive jump over your barbell after each burpee, increasing intensity and coordination. It’s a common feature in burpee over bar workouts, combining cardio, agility, and full-body conditioning in one simple movement.

    In this workout, burpees over the bar challenge your endurance, mental toughness, and pacing — especially under fatigue. Whether you’re jumping laterally or forward-facing, the burpee over bar is guaranteed to elevate your heart rate and test your focus.

  • thrusters

    The thruster is a full-body compound movement that combines a front squat with an overhead press, making it one of the most demanding and effective exercises in any thruster workout.

    In this workout, thrusters develop leg drive, shoulder endurance, and core stability, all while elevating your heart rate. Whether using a barbell, dumbbells, or kettlebells, the thruster is a powerful tool for building strength, power, and conditioning — fast.

  • power clean

    The power clean is a fast, explosive lift that develops full-body strength, speed, and coordination. A staple in Olympic lifting and functional fitness, it’s central to many high-intensity power clean workouts.

    In this workout, power cleans train your hip extension, pulling power, and barbell control, making them ideal for improving athletic performance and barbell cycling. Whether done heavy or for reps, the power clean is key for building functional power and explosiveness.

  • squat clean

    The squat clean is a compound Olympic lift that builds explosive power, coordination, and full-body strength. A staple in many high-skill squat clean workouts, it involves lifting a barbell from the ground into a front squat, catching it deep before standing to finish the rep.

    In this workout, squat cleans challenge your hip extension, pulling mechanics, leg drive, and mobility. Whether performed heavy for strength or light for speed, the squat clean is essential for developing athleticism and efficient barbell movement.
