The Dirty Thirty Sprint - Crossfit Workout

For Time

30 Power Cleans – Intermediate: @40/60 | RX: @45/65
30 Back Rack Lunges
30 Pull-ups / Chest-to-bar
30 Target Burpees

Workout Overview

This fast-paced chipper features four classic CrossFit movements, each completed for 30 reps. Athletes start with power cleans, shift to back rack lunges, then transition to gymnastics with pull-ups or chest-to-bar, and close with target burpees. The volume is moderate, but the short 11-minute cap makes pacing and transitions critical. The workout challenges posterior chain power, unilateral stability, pulling capacity, and aerobic grit in one tight package.

Execution and Focus

Use efficient barbell cycling on the power cleans—quick singles or fast sets of 5s can work well. Move directly into the back rack lunges with a steady step cadence and braced midline—unbroken if possible. The pull-up variation should be approached based on skill level: break early and often to preserve grip and rhythm. Finally, the target burpees will test your mental game—stay moving, jump high, and keep your transitions tight. This is where seconds are won or lost.

Strategy and Finish

You don’t have time to stall. Set a plan for each movement before you begin. Avoid redlining on the power cleans—save energy for the pull-ups and burpees. Break gymnastics smartly and maintain constant effort in the final push. If you want to finish under the cap, you’ll need urgency from the first rep and precision every step of the way.

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?

  • burpee to target

    Burpee to target adds an explosive jump to a fixed height after each burpee, turning a classic bodyweight movement into a test of vertical power and precision. Popular in burpee to target workouts, this variation pushes conditioning, accuracy, and repeatability under fatigue.

    In this workout, burpee to target builds cardiovascular endurance, lower-body explosiveness, and mental toughness. The requirement to hit a target—often 6–12 inches above standing reach—forces athletes to maintain power output even when fatigued, making it a staple in competitive functional fitness.

  • 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.

  • power clean

    The power clean is a fast, explosive lift that develops full-body strength, speed, and coordination. A staple in Olympic lifting and functional fitness, it’s central to many high-intensity power clean workouts.

    In this workout, power cleans train your hip extension, pulling power, and barbell control, making them ideal for improving athletic performance and barbell cycling. Whether done heavy or for reps, the power clean is key for building functional power and explosiveness.

  • 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.
