What is a good time for 666?

Good times for 666 depend on your fitness level: Elite athletes finish under 18:00, advanced athletes target 18:00-14:00, intermediate athletes aim for 14:00-12:00, and beginners should focus on proper form over 12:00.

What is considered a good 666 time?

A good 666 time for most CrossFit athletes is between 14:00-12:00 (intermediate level). Elite times are under 18:00, but focus on consistent movement and proper form rather than just speed.

How fast should I do 666?

Your 666 pace should match your fitness level. Beginners should aim to finish around 12:00 with good form, while advanced athletes can target 18:00-14:00. Always prioritize proper movement over speed.

666 can be scaled by reducing weights, modifying movements (like assisted pull-ups), or adjusting volume. Consult with a coach for personalized scaling options.

What muscles does 666 work?

666 primarily works the muscles involved in Front Squat, Pull-Up, Bench Press. This workout develops muscular endurance.

666 Benchmark WOD - Scaling & Strategy

Workout Description

6 Rounds For Time 6 Front Squats (50/35 kg) 6 Pull-Ups 6 Bench Presses (80/60 kg) 6 Deadlifts (80/60 kg) 6 Barbell Rows (60/40 kg) 6 Shoulder-to-Overheads (30/20 kg)

Why This Workout Is Hard

While individual loads and reps are moderate, the combination creates significant fatigue. The continuous barbell cycling (4 different lifts) taxes grip and posterior chain, while pull-ups between lifts prevent recovery. The shoulder-intensive nature (pull-ups, bench, rows, S2OH) compounds fatigue. For average CrossFitters, this 15-20 minute workout demands strategic pacing and likely breaking sets early.

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

Stamina (8/10): Multiple muscle groups are challenged repeatedly across 216 total reps. Upper body pulling, pushing, and posterior chain face significant accumulated fatigue.

Endurance (7/10): Six rounds of compound movements with moderate loads creates sustained cardiovascular demand. The volume and minimal rest between movements keeps heart rate elevated throughout.

Strength (6/10): Moderate to moderately-heavy loads across multiple compound movements. Front squats, bench press, and deadlifts require significant strength but aren't maximal loads.

Speed (6/10): Quick transitions between movements and efficient rep execution are crucial. Maintaining pace across six movements for six rounds requires strategic cycling.

Flexibility (5/10): Front rack position, pull-up positions, and proper deadlift mechanics require good mobility. Most movements demand full range of motion.

Power (3/10): While shoulder-to-overhead has power elements, most movements are strength-focused rather than explosive. Speed comes from efficiency rather than power production.

Scaling Explanation

Scale if unable to perform 3+ strict pull-ups, front squat workout weight for 8+ reps, or complete first round unbroken with good form. Priority is maintaining movement quality across all six exercises. Athletes should finish between 12-20 minutes - scale load or volume if time cap is threatened. Form deterioration on compound movements (especially deadlift and front squat) indicates need for load reduction.

Coach Insight

Break this into couplets mentally (squat/pull-up, press/deadlift, row/overhead). Quick but controlled singles on front squats - reset position each rep. Pull-ups should be done in sets of 2-3 to preserve grip. Rest as needed between movements but minimize transition time between exercises. Watch for form degradation on deadlifts and rows as fatigue sets in. Consider alternating grip on deadlifts after round 3.

Benchmark Notes

This workout is most similar to Grace/DT-style barbell cycling with added pull-ups. Analysis per round: Per round breakdown (elite pace): - Front Squats (6): 2.5s × 6 = 15s - Pull-Ups (6): 1.5s × 6 = 9s - Bench Press (6): 2.5s × 6 = 15s - Deadlifts (6): 2.5s × 6 = 15s - Barbell Rows (6): 2.5s × 6 = 15s - S2OH (6): 2s × 6 = 12s Base time per round: 81s Transitions between movements: 5s × 5 = 25s per round Fatigue multipliers: - Rounds 1-2: 1.0x (106s per round) - Rounds 3-4: 1.2x (127s per round) - Rounds 5-6: 1.3x (138s per round) Total elite time estimate: 742s Using DT as anchor (5 rounds, 3 barbell movements), but adjusting up 15% for additional movements and volume. DT elite times are 360-420s for men, this should be about 480s for elite (L10) given the extra work. Final targets: Men: L10: 8:00 (480s) L5: 12:00 (720s) L1: 18:00 (1080s) Women: L10: 10:00 (600s) L5: 14:00 (840s) L1: 20:00 (1200s)
