Carry the Climb - Crossfit Workout

3 Rounds

8 Bar Muscle Ups
60 meter Suitcase walk Intermediate: @16/24 | RX: @24/32
40 Wall balls @14/20 lbs

Workout Overview

“Carry the Climb” is a grippy and demanding 3-round triplet blending high-skill gymnastics with loaded carries and conditioning volume. Bar muscle-ups kick off each round with a technical test, followed by unilateral suitcase walks that challenge core and grip. The 40 wall balls close every round with a metabolic punch to the lungs and legs.

Execution and Focus

Bar muscle-ups should be broken into manageable sets—avoid pushing to failure early. Keep the kip snappy and transitions tight. The suitcase walk is a single-arm carry, so alternate arms each round (or halfway through) and stay tall through the torso. Wall balls are meant to be a grind—try to hold a steady rhythm and avoid excessive resting between sets.

Strategy and Finish

Start each round with a gymnastics plan: break the BMUs into 2–3 sets if needed. Carry with good posture, and don’t rush the walk—let it serve as a grip reset. On the wall balls, aim for big sets early (20/20 or 25/15), then chip away. This workout rewards pacing, clean movement, and smart breaks—especially as grip fatigue sets in.

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?

  • wall ball

    The wall ball is a classic CrossFit movement that combines a front squat and an explosive throw, targeting your legs, shoulders, and lungs in one fluid motion. It’s a staple in any high-intensity wall ball workout, known for quickly elevating your heart rate.

    In this workout, wall balls build endurance, coordination, and full-body power. Whether you're using a 10 or 20 lb ball, this simple movement delivers serious results — especially when the reps start adding up.

  • bar muscle up

    The bar muscle-up is a high-skill gymnastics movement that combines a powerful pull-up with a dip, taking you from below the bar to above it in one fluid motion. A highlight of many bar muscle up workouts, it demands upper body strength, timing, and core control.

    In this workout, bar muscle-ups challenge your grip, pulling power, and technique—making them a true test of gymnastic capacity. Whether strict or kipping, the bar muscle-up is a milestone movement in CrossFit and functional fitness.
