100 Double Unders
30 Toes to bar

Workout Overview

This two-part for-time workout splits your focus between monostructural pacing and high-skill gymnastics. The first segment is a grip-intensive triplet of jump rope, T2B, and KB swings. The second transitions into a running and muscle-up pairing that demands coordination and pulling capacity when fatigued.

Execution and Focus

In Part 1, find rhythm early in your double unders. T2B will add up—break them into manageable sets (10-10-10 or 12-10-8). Use a powerful hip pop for the kettlebell swings and avoid muscling them. After the 13-minute cap or once finished, move directly into the run and burpee gymnastics couplet. For burpee pull-ups, jump with precision; for muscle-ups, stay snappy and controlled on transitions.

Strategy and Finish

Each part has its own tempo. Stay consistent in Part 1—don’t go unbroken unless you're elite. Conserve grip across T2B and KB swings. For Part 2, push your pace on the run to create time for gymnastics. If muscle-ups are your limiter, breathe through the run and attack them fresh. The last round should be your strongest—run hard and finish with clean, aggressive pulls. Goal is to finish both segments within cap, ideally sub-22 minutes total.

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?

  • Ring Muscle-Ups

    The ring muscle-up is a high-skill gymnastic movement that combines a pull-up and a dip into one explosive, fluid transition from below to above the rings. A key feature in ring muscle up workouts, it’s a benchmark of upper-body strength, technique, and control.

    In this workout, ring muscle-ups build pulling power, pressing strength, and total-body coordination. The movement develops timing, grip, and midline tension while testing athleticism and grit. It’s an elite gymnastic skill and a rewarding challenge for any functional fitness athlete.

  • T2B

    Toes to bar is a powerful gymnastics movement that targets your core, grip, lats, and hip flexors, making it a key element in many high-intensity toes to bar workouts.

    In this workout, toes to bar challenge your core strength, rhythm, and coordination while under fatigue. Whether you're kipping or going strict, it’s an essential skill for improving gymnastics capacity and midline control in CrossFit.

  • Double under

    The double under is a jump rope skill where the rope passes under your feet twice per jump, building coordination, speed, and cardiovascular endurance. It’s a popular movement in high-intensity double under workouts, often used to spike heart rate and improve timing under fatigue.

    In this workout, double unders challenge your footwork, rhythm, and breathing, making them a key tool for improving overall conditioning. Whether you're linking sets or working on consistency, double unders are a fast-paced way to level up your engine.

  • kettlebell swing

    The kettlebell swing is a powerful hip-hinge movement that builds posterior chain strength, core stability, and cardiovascular endurance. A go-to in any kettlebell swing workout, it’s known for improving explosiveness, grip, and conditioning in one efficient motion.

    In this workout, kettlebell swings train your glutes, hamstrings, and shoulders, while developing rhythm and control. Whether Russian or American style, the kettlebell swing is a versatile tool for both beginners and advanced athletes.

  • burpee pull up

    The burpee pull-up combines a full-body burpee with a vertical pulling movement, delivering a powerful mix of conditioning and upper body strength. Common in high-intensity burpee pull up workouts, it challenges your engine, grip, and coordination all at once.

    In this workout, burpee pull-ups spike your heart rate, test your pulling endurance, and require full-body control under fatigue. Whether used in sprint intervals or long AMRAPs, the burpee pull-up adds intensity and variety to any session.

  • running

    Running is one of the most effective ways to build cardiovascular endurance, leg strength, and mental toughness. A foundational element in many running workouts, it adds intensity and pacing challenges to both short sprints and longer distances.

    In this workout, running boosts your engine, footwork, and recovery capacity, especially when paired with strength or skill-based movements. Whether you're hitting meters or minutes, running is essential for building a well-rounded fitness base.
