Common Questions

What is a benchmark WOD in CrossFit?

A benchmark WOD is a standardized workout performed repeatedly over time to measure fitness progress. CrossFit's original benchmarks are named after women (Fran, Helen, Grace, Cindy, Annie) and U.S. military heroes. They have fixed movements and standards so your time or score is directly comparable across sessions and athletes.

How often should I test benchmark WODs?

Every 8–12 weeks is the standard cadence. Any more frequent and you are re-testing before you have had time to adapt. The goal is meaningful improvement between tests — which requires weeks of consistent training in the skills and energy systems the benchmark demands.

What are the most important CrossFit benchmarks to track?

The "girls" to prioritize: Fran (21-15-9 thrusters + pull-ups, tests speed under load), Cindy (20-min AMRAP 5/10/15, tests aerobic capacity), and Helen (3 rounds of 400m run + 21 KB swings + 12 pull-ups, tests lactate threshold). These three cover the widest range of energy systems.

What is a good Fran time?

Beginner: under 10 minutes. Intermediate: 5–7 minutes. Competitive CrossFit: 3–4 minutes. Elite: under 2:30. Fran is done at prescribed weight (95lb/43kg thrusters for men, 65lb/29kg for women) — if you cannot complete the work at those loads, scale and note the modification.
