Devil’s Burnout - Crossfit Workout

5 rounds for time

8 Double DB Devil’s press Intermediate: @2×15/22,5 | RX: @2×17,5/25
4 Burpee chest to bar / Burpee bar muscle up
12/15 cal Ski erg
20 m Double DB farmer lunges

Workout Overview

"Devil’s Burnout" is a demanding 30-minute for-time workout combining heavy double dumbbell pressing, advanced gymnastics, and high-volume carries with conditioning. The 5-round format challenges grip, shoulder endurance, and engine power through a series of technical and aerobic stations.

Execution and Focus

Double DB Devil’s presses require powerful hip drive and shoulder stability—choose a challenging weight you can cycle unbroken or in manageable sets. Burpee chest to bar and burpee bar muscle ups test gymnastics skill and stamina; choose based on your capacity and break strategically. Ski erg calories demand consistent pacing, while double DB farmer lunges require focus on posture and midline tension.

Strategy and Finish

Start steady on the Devil’s press to conserve energy for the complex burpee gymnastics. Use the ski erg to reset your engine before finishing with loaded carries. Manage transitions tightly to avoid wasted time. Aim to maintain steady pacing across all rounds and push hard on the final round to finish strong.

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?

  • double dumbbell devil’s press

    The double dumbbell devil’s press combines a burpee with a ground-to-overhead dumbbell swing-snatch motion using both arms. Common in double dumbbell devil’s press workouts, this hybrid movement pushes conditioning, coordination, and full-body strength.

    In this workout, double dumbbell devil’s presses challenge grip, hip extension, shoulder endurance, and cardiovascular capacity. It’s a brutal, no-nonsense movement perfect for high-intensity metcons where every rep tests grit and engine.

  • Ski Erg

    The SkiErg is a low-impact, high-intensity cardio machine that simulates double-pole skiing. It’s a favorite in many SkiErg workouts for building aerobic capacity, upper body endurance, and total-body coordination.

    In this workout, the SkiErg targets your lats, core, triceps, and legs, offering a unique way to train both power and pacing. Whether you're sprinting for calories or grinding out meters, the SkiErg delivers a serious conditioning challenge without stressing the joints.
