Devil's Detour - Crossfit Workout

For Time

10-8-6-4-2
Double DB Devils Clean – Intermediate: @2x15/22.5 | RX: @2x17.5/25
Pull-ups / Chest to Bar

After every round:
20/26 cal Assault Bike

Workout Overview

“Devil’s Detour” is a fiery descending ladder of double dumbbell devils cleans and pull-ups or chest-to-bar, with a nasty twist: a 20/26 cal Assault bike sprint after *every* round. This creates a potent mix of muscular fatigue and metabolic stress. The reps go down, but the bike stays the same—so don’t expect this one to get easier as you go. It’s grip, grit, and gas tank all in one.

Execution and Focus

Devils cleans are demanding—use your hips and stay braced through the transition into the clean. If needed, pause at the floor for control. On pull-ups or chest to bar, aim for clean movement and controlled kip mechanics. The Assault bike should be treated as a calculated push—too hard and you’ll gas your pulling; too easy and you’ll miss your window. Each round gets shorter, but your intensity needs to hold.

Strategy and Finish

Treat the first two rounds as controlled grinders. Keep transitions tight and avoid redlining on the early bike sets. Break the pull-ups smartly and move clean through the devils cleans. When you reach the round of 4, start pushing pace—get to the final set of 2 and leave nothing on the table. Grip and lungs will burn—stay composed and 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 clean

    The double dumbbell devil’s clean combines a burpee with a double dumbbell clean from the floor to the shoulders—fusing conditioning and strength into one relentless movement. Often seen in double dumbbell devil’s clean workouts, it delivers full-body intensity with minimal equipment.

    In this workout, double dumbbell devil’s cleans train hip extension, pulling mechanics, core control, and aerobic capacity. The seamless transition from the floor to the front rack forces efficiency under fatigue, making it a gritty, high-output movement for functional fitness conditioning.

  • Assault Bike

    The Assault Bike is a fan-powered machine that delivers one of the most effective full-body conditioning challenges in fitness. Common in high-intensity assault bike workouts, it trains your legs, arms, and lungs all at once — and responds directly to how hard you push.

    In this workout, the Assault Bike is used to build power, stamina, and mental toughness. Whether you're sprinting for calories or holding a steady pace, the Assault Bike is perfect for intervals, finishers, or pure engine tests.

  • Pull up

    The pull-up is a foundational bodyweight movement that builds upper body strength, focusing on your back, shoulders, arms, and core. A staple in almost every pull-up workout, it's key for developing gymnastics capacity and functional pulling power.

    In this workout, pull-ups challenge your grip, coordination, and endurance — especially under fatigue. Whether strict, kipping, or butterfly, the pull-up remains one of the most effective and scalable exercises in CrossFit.

  • chest to bar

    The chest-to-bar pull-up is a high-skill gymnastics movement that takes traditional pull-ups further by requiring the chest to make contact with the bar. Common in competitive CrossFit and advanced chest to bar workouts, it builds upper body strength, pulling power, and grip endurance.

    In this workout, chest-to-bar pull-ups challenge your lats, arms, core, and coordination—especially under high reps or in combination with other movements. Whether performed strict, kipping, or butterfly, chest-to-bar is a true test of bodyweight control and stamina.
