Press Rewind - Crossfit Workout

For time

12-10-8-6-8-10-12
DB bench press Intermediate: @2x12,5/17,5 | RX: @2x15/22,5
Double DB cleans
Heavy wall balls @20/30 lbs

Workout Overview

“Press Rewind” is a mirror ladder that stacks pressing power, hinge strength, and a wall-ball finish in a perfectly balanced pain sandwich. The format begins with 12 reps and descends to 6 before climbing back up to 12, testing midline stamina and muscular endurance across both halves of the workout.

Execution and Focus

Start steady—this is a workout where grip and shoulders fatigue fast. Dumbbell bench press should be controlled with minimal bounce, performed on a flat bench or the floor. Double DB cleans demand hinge power and efficient cycling—keep your back flat and hips moving. Heavy wall balls will spike your heart rate and test your accuracy and squat depth. Brace properly and pace breathing during these sets.

Strategy and Finish

Stay steady on the descent and don’t overcommit to the 12s and 10s. Quick transitions between movements help keep momentum. Break sets before hitting failure—especially on the bench press where grind reps can add up. The climb back up is mental—commit to constant movement and short rest. Timecap is tight, so move with purpose from the start.

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?

  • dumbbell bench press

    The dumbbell bench press is a unilateral pressing movement where dumbbells are pressed from chest to full lockout while lying on a bench. A staple in dumbbell bench press workouts, this variation offers a greater range of motion and balance demand than barbell presses.

    In this workout, dumbbell bench presses build chest, triceps, and shoulder strength while improving joint control and muscular symmetry. It’s a powerful upper-body builder that can be scaled from rehab to hypertrophy and strength-focused programming.

  • 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.

  • double dumbbell clean

    The double dumbbell clean is a compound lift that moves two dumbbells from the floor to the front rack position in one explosive motion. Found in many double dumbbell clean workouts, this movement trains power and coordination without the need for a barbell—making it ideal for functional fitness.

    In this workout, double dumbbell cleans develop hip drive, grip strength, and midline stability. The independent loading of each arm adds a balance and control challenge, while still reinforcing clean mechanics. It’s a versatile lift that builds strength and intensity in any setting.
