Cross-Fit workout;From Men's Journal
Gents;
An article from this months Men's Journal touches on cross-fit which is gaining immense popularity and for all the right reasons...Anyway here's the link to the cross-fit "type" exercises someone can use, especially a newcomer or someone who can't get online and look at the WOD each day.
BTW>If you don't follow the principles you defeat the purpose and advantages this form of fitness development offers...

We have been doing Crossfit at our firehouse. If done at a high intensity it is a very effective workout. They have an interesting article on the physical demands of combat and how to training for those demands.
www.crossfit.com
Thanks, Chris

Crossfit Insurgency
http://www.crossfit.com/journal/libr...insurgency.pdf
This was frontpage over on crossfit.com for a little while. Scott is the real deal, I was one of his later converts. It's helped tremendously with my ACL rehab in regaining hamstring and quad strength, where extensive running was not the right answer. Enjoy!
*This might belong in the "Change the PT program thread," but I went with the thread with Crossfit already in the title.*

Been doing crossfit for three years now. The only thing I add is a combatives program. ( for me and mine is Jiujitsu) Very good for my new line of work (ground paramedic) Could have used it on a team but we already did enough "crossfit style" things. Still all in all it's a great program. adal

Crossfit works! In the 18E course we were worked like dogs in the name of Crossfit. I went from 290's to a 347 on the extended in just a handful of months. The class average was well over 300, and if memory serves there were less than 10 folks that scored under 300, but no one under 280.
Crossfit... it hurts so good.

Is there any AD that does Unit PT in the morning and the WOD in the afternoon/evening? Do you do it as is, or modify depending on your PT from the AM? Trying to walk the line between animal PT and overtraining.

Fear Monkey, that avatar is funny as anything I've ever seen. You should talk to Kyo about a desert cammie suit and a Green Hat on it - then it would be perfect.

I don't know of any reg Army units who do PT/Crossfit twice a day here on Bragg, but I know of quite a few SF candidates who do Crossfit twice a day and one in particular  who does body-part specific exercises in the AM and Crossfit at night. Scheduling workouts so they don't overlap takes some thought but working myself to the point of vomiting is always a great feeling.
3 days on, 1 day off is my schedule as well as taking a 3 day break every third week. Running is done at night as part of my evening workouts, mostly sprint workouts (400M repeats, ladders, fartlek, etc). I save my long runs for Sundays, 7 miler.
