Load and Lunge - Crossfit Workout

6 Sandbag to shoulder
10 meter walking lunges with Sandbag
4 Shuttle runs (2x10 meter)

Rest 3 min

20 meter Sandbag Bear hug carry
4 Sandbag Squat cleans (bear hug) Video demo
20 meter KB front rack carry

Workout Overview

“Load and Lunge” is a gritty two-part test of strength, stamina, and carry capacity. The first section is a four-round sprint combining sandbag shouldering, lunges, and shuttle sprints. After a 3-minute rest, you move into a second four-round piece filled with bear hug carries, squat cleans, and kettlebell front rack carries. There’s no time cap—just work until it’s done.

Execution and Focus

Part one should feel like a push—shoulder the sandbag fast and confidently. Keep your chest upright during the lunges and drive through the legs. Hit each shuttle sprint with urgency. In part two, stay tight in the bear hug carry and move with purpose. The sandbag squat cleans should be clean and powerful—stay close to your center. KB front rack carries demand posture and breath control—lock in through the midline and go unbroken if possible.

Strategy and Finish

Pace part one just enough to keep transitions sharp—aim to keep all four rounds close in time. Use the 3-minute rest to reset your breath and grip. In the second piece, move deliberately and reduce transition time between movements. Choose loads that force focus but don’t require breaking. Your score can be time for part one, and completion effort or rounds for part two. This one rewards grinders with grit and precision.

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?

  • shuttle run

    The shuttle run is a high-intensity, agility-based movement that involves running back and forth between two points. Common in shuttle run workouts, it develops speed, acceleration, change-of-direction skills, and aerobic capacity.

    In this workout, shuttle runs challenge your footwork, coordination, and cardiovascular endurance—especially when combined with strength movements. Whether done for distance, time, or reps, the shuttle run is a simple yet effective way to improve athletic conditioning.
