The Fifth Pull - Crossfit Workout

For Time – 5 Rounds

12/15 Cal Row
9 Burpee Over Rower
2 Rope Climbs / Legless Rope Climbs

Rest 1 min

TC: 17

Workout Overview

“The Fifth Pull” blends rowing, rope climbs, and burpee aggression across five rounds. With a short rest after each round, this format rewards smart pacing and punishes sloppy transitions. It’s a mix of cardio, skill, and stamina that builds round after round.

Execution and Focus

Row strong but steady—stay at a rate you can repeat. The burpees over the rower will spike your heart rate, so control your jump and land efficiently. Rope climbs or legless variants require focus—use your legs and lock in the feet fast. Shake out the arms during the minute rest, not during the round.

Strategy and Finish

Set a pace in round 1 that you can maintain. Don't rush the rope—quality climbs are faster than missed attempts. Use the 1-minute rest to recover your grip and breath. The final round is all guts—empty the tank and close hard with precision on the rope and power on the row.

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?

  • legless rope climb

    Legless rope climbs are a high-skill gymnastics movement where the athlete climbs a rope using only their arms. Featured in legless rope climb workouts, this drill tests upper-body pulling strength, grip endurance, and total-body tension.

    In this workout, legless rope climbs train the lats, biceps, forearms, and core while demanding mental grit and body awareness. They’re a benchmark of advanced pulling capacity and often used in competitive programming for athletes who need to express strength under fatigue.

  • double dumbbell push press

    The double dumbbell push press uses leg drive to press two dumbbells overhead in one powerful movement. Frequently programmed in double dumbbell push press workouts, it builds strength, endurance, and coordination across the shoulders, triceps, and legs.

    In this workout, double dumbbell push presses develop explosive overhead power while challenging midline stability and balance. The independent arm loading makes it ideal for addressing imbalances and reinforcing control during fast-paced functional training.

  • Row Erg

    Rowing is a low-impact, full-body movement that builds cardiovascular endurance, leg drive, and pulling strength. It’s a staple in many CrossFit workouts because it trains both aerobic capacity and muscular coordination.

    In this rowing workout, each effort helps develop power output, pacing control, and total-body stamina — all while being easy on the joints. Whether you're sprinting for calories or pacing for meters, rowing is one of the most effective tools for conditioning.

  • rope climb

    The rope climb is a classic functional fitness movement that develops upper body pulling strength, grip endurance, and core control. Frequently featured in rope climb workouts, it challenges both technique and toughness.

    In this workout, rope climbs train your lats, arms, and abs, while demanding coordination and efficient footwork. Whether performed legless or with a J-hook, the rope climb builds confidence and capacity in gymnastics-style pulling.

  • burpee over rower

    The burpee over rower adds an explosive, lateral jump to the classic burpee—boosting intensity, coordination, and agility. Common in high-energy burpee over rower workouts, this movement spikes your heart rate and challenges footwork, especially in fast transitions.

    In this workout, burpees over the rower push your conditioning and mental grit, while testing movement efficiency under fatigue. Whether part of an AMRAP, for time, or interval session, the burpee over rower is a simple yet brutal finisher.
