CrossFit is unusual as a sport and as a training method. In all other training systems you train for a while and then you race or compete. Your day-to-day training is the “homework” and then on race/game day you go and take your “test” to see how you stack up. For example, in weightlifting you [...]

Some of us have been discussing what goes into creating a top-performing CrossFitter. Others of us have been discussing what it takes to prevent or heal injuries. I would say that one common important factor goes into both superfreaks and the steady, uninjured clients (and let’s not forget you can’t become a superfreak if you [...]
Do you ever finish a work-out and feel like you just need a little extra help to master a certain skill? Is there something that appears every now and then in our workouts, but you would like to get it mastered more quickly? We all have a different time-line for our goals. For example, Bryon and [...] Hey, hey. You all have been working so hard lately! Nothing makes you sore and functionally useless for a few days like being new at CrossFit. Don’t worry though, a few days of uselessness will be traded in for giant gains in your usefulness! Many of you have been asking how to best recover from [...]
Good morning everyone. I hope you are having a beautiful restful Sunday. Because on Monday you have work to get done. When you arrive on Monday you will have your own Training Log Book. There are places for each of your lifts and your bench mark workouts as well as places for notes. There [...] Sometimes, it is hard to let someone else tell you you are wrong. Or give you instructions. Or criticism. Or call you out on not giving your full effort. I should know. That kind of thing makes me mad. BUT, the reason I have improved as a CrossFitter over time is because I turn that [...] We do it to keep all you guys who used to like sitting on the bench doing bicep curls happy. No, just kidding. I feel like the fact that we frequently ask you all to do sets of heavy slow lifts is one of the things we do best for you. Everyone one of you [...] Day 3 for the Paleo Zoners. I think Erin has a good point in her comment from yesterday and it is the exact sentiment that Robb Wolf emphasizes at his Nutrition seminars. If Paleo-Person came to to Tucson they’d be lined up at DQ. The human being is not hard-wired for self-control with regard to [...] What do all these photos have in common? They are all of an unbelievable athlete getting their range of motion verified. On a daily basis during your workouts we focus on increasing your range of motion, making sure you are doing each move safely and to the extent of your ability. Very, very rarely do [...]
Hi everyone, I have been thinking quite a lot about the role of a CrossFit trainer and the underlying motivation behind what we do and how we do it. I think I’ll make a series of posts about this if it doesn’t bore you all to tears. We are coming up on a new month [...] You can listen to an episode of CrossFIt Radio through the CrossFit Journal and hear Keith Wittenstein from CrossFit Virtuosity in NYC talk about how yoga can benefit CrossFitters. You can also find plenty of conversation amongst the self-proclaimed bada** CrossFitters making fun of yoga and claiming it is the antithesis of CrossFit. Maybe in [...] |
