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
