What Is CrossFit?

Started as a maverick gym in Santa Cruz, CrossFit has spread worldwide, becoming the principal strength & conditioning program for police academies and tactical op's teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, & hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide. Why? Because CrossFit works...FAST.

CrossFit delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. CrossFit's specialty is not specializing. Daily life, like many sports and professions, (and even combat) requires broad levels of fitness. CrossFit's program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind.

Article from Scott Kustes at Modern Forager:

Part 4 What happens to you when you fast: Healing and longevity.

Let’s start with disease. We’ll start with The Big C, cancer, the second-leading cause of death in the United States. All of the studies I found were in rats and mice, but we have to remember that IF is still an emerging science. In our rodent friends, cell proliferation rates are lowered by 25% caloric restriction, but not as much as by Alternate Day Fasting. A report on another study showed that a 5% reduction in calories, but only being fed every other day, also reduced cell proliferation rates.

The mainpage WOD is Angie, and Josh did it last night! (I don't think he knew it was the workout).

His time was 11:something. Beat Darren, our old record holder by 2 minutes.


We also have a new term for a very fast time: "Sub Darren".

BIG FAT MAKIMBA (aka bad idea)

15/10/5
50# DB push press
50# DB burpee/c and j
50# DB squat

Yeah Craig, I CAN do a lot with 50lbs...thanks jerk.
The burpee clean and jerks were increadibly draining. Probably my worst idea yet.

Rest Day for me today. Looking forward to the brutal WOD on the Main Page for tomorrow.

Great article on Performance Menu with Greg Everett regarding Oly lifts and training in general. He spoke about the O-lifts and peoples tendency to "max" too quickly and too often. I know I am guilty of skipping over the steps to get these lifts down before I need to worry about a PR/Max. Here's a quote;
"The way I look at it is this. You've got basically these four components here and the very first one is position. Then you’ve got movement, then you have speed and then you have load."

Here's the link to the article-

Everyone loved this WOD so much we have nicknamed it "Heads or Tails".

Choose to start with either push press or rowing (whichever you think you will do better with). Next time use the other option.

Evening Results:

Rhodes (115#) 141
Rob (#135) 170
Hardway Bryan (135#) 140
Anne (65#) 127
Meg (55#) 127
Darren (135#) 189!
Mike (75#) 141
Carry (75#) 138
Rodill (75#) 122

Gonna try this wod today, JJ.

Too funny Mikey - 50# DB Burpees??? Sick.

Thanks for the article Stav - great point. My suggestion: speed, speed, speed. And, learn to get deep, deep, deep.
