“For Time – The 2-Round Gauntlet”

This for-time chipper stacks two long rounds of mixed-modal madness: running, high-rep barbell work, core fatigue, and bike effort. The large sets demand smart pacing and strong transitions.

2 Rounds For Time:
800 m Run
20 Bar Facing Burpees
30 Thrusters @20/35 kg (Intermediate: 25/40 | RX: 30/45)
20 Ab-Mat Sit-Ups
50 Cal Bike

Time Cap: 30 minutes

The volume builds quickly, especially in round two. Save your legs and lungs early, and aim for unbroken thrusters in manageable chunks. Push hard on the bike—it’s your final stretch.

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?

  • abmat sit-up

    The AbMat situp is a popular core exercise in CrossFit and functional training. Using an AbMat supports your lower back and allows for a full range of motion, helping to strengthen your abs more effectively than traditional sit-ups.

    In this workout, AbMat sit-ups challenge your core endurance, improve midline stability, and balance out more explosive movements like lifts or jumps. Whether you're scaling or RX'ing, the AbMat situp is a simple, powerful tool for core development.

  • bike erg

    The BikeErg is a fan-powered cycling machine that delivers a smooth, low-impact workout focused on leg power, aerobic endurance, and pacing control. Common in BikeErg workouts, it's perfect for both steady-state conditioning and high-intensity intervals.

    In this workout, the BikeErg builds quad and glute strength, while challenging your engine and recovery. Whether you're sprinting for calories or logging meters, the BikeErg is a versatile tool for improving cardiovascular fitness in a joint-friendly way.

  • bar facing burpee

    The bar-facing burpee is a high-intensity movement that combines a chest-to-floor burpee with a two-foot jump over a barbell. It's a CrossFit staple used in many bar facing burpee workouts to build explosive power, agility, and full-body conditioning.

    In this workout, bar-facing burpees spike your heart rate, test your coordination, and demand mental grit — especially when paired with heavy lifting or fast-paced intervals. Simple, brutal, and effective.

  • thrusters

    The thruster is a full-body compound movement that combines a front squat with an overhead press, making it one of the most demanding and effective exercises in any thruster workout.

    In this workout, thrusters develop leg drive, shoulder endurance, and core stability, all while elevating your heart rate. Whether using a barbell, dumbbells, or kettlebells, the thruster is a powerful tool for building strength, power, and conditioning — fast.

  • 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.
