The Basics

Methods of training resistance exercises should be oriented toward athletic development through

Maximum Strength :Increasing speed of movement by creating maximum effort.

Explosive Strength :Training acceleration or change in direction of movement with significant external resistance.

Speed Strength : Speed of movement is achieved by overcoming relatively small resistance

Strength Endurance :Sustained force production over long duration.

Local Muscular Endurance : continuous speed at sub maximal intensity.

Hard Bits?

Becoming fit isn't complicated at all physically, you just have to work hard repeatedly on a varied group of key exercises (eg: squats, pull-ups, Olympic lifts, rowing, running, swimming, handstand pushups, and ring work) and let your body recover from the workouts and improve.

The hard bit is the mental aspect.

CrossFit Programming is mentally challenging and fatiguing. The Intensity and the task completion based protocols will find you wanting to quit, stop or at least rest a little longer. Attrition is not a maybe but a certainty.
Strategies will emerge for your best way through such intensity, but all will take a certain mental commitment and determination that is uncommon in Gym based programs.

Prescription

The CrossFit prescription is “constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement.” Functional movements are universal motor recruitment patterns; they are performed in a wave of contraction from core to extremity; and they are compound movements—i.e., they are multi-joint. They are natural, effective, and efficient locomotors of body and external objects. But no aspect of functional movements is more important than their capacity to move large loads over long distances, and to do so quickly.

Ongoing Incremental Progression

The focus of CrossFit Conditioning is on individual improvement and progress through efficient movement.The time,loads, Rds and performance of others should be a motivator not a goal to be beaten.
Individual participation and exposure to the experience of the Work Out is the overall goal and from which the benefits will be apparent.

Differentials in Range of Motion

Why" For Time" is relative to the individual.

Power movements of individuals are fixed and different due to the individual’s range of joint motion and Biomechanical structure. To compare from individual to individual has no value in a training format, rather "For Time" is a reference point for determining increased efficiency for that individual in reference to previous attempts.
Velocity is determined by the time taken to complete the movement through that individuals range of motion.
Training using methods that focus on decreasing the time in which the movement is produced by increasing the efficiency and or acceleration of the movement, increases power generation.
Therefore Timing a WorkOut produces a reference point from which to determine increases in power output when compared to future attempts.

The CrossFit Method

Diet: nutrition is the fuel for fitness and health

Metabolic Conditioning: Conditioning of the energy systems of human body, Aerobic lactic acid and phosphocreatine

Dynamic Body Weight Movement: creates functional body control and improves range of motion, balance and agility.

Strength and Power based Lifting/Throwing: creates ability to exert control over external objects and develops power/strength ratios

Outdoor Pursuits/Sports: application and exposure to competitive elements refines specific skills and allows exposure to randomized and unpredictable events of the greater world.

General Physical Preparedness

GPP
This refers to a level of fitness needed to be prepared for a variety of contingencies. In close relation to Functional Fitness practices, GPP is to be conditioned at a base level of competency within fitness activities. This GPP has implications for any individual who has physical demands placed unpin them with little preparation time.
What role does GPP serve?
GPP serves as a multi faceted component of training to maintain and perfect skills that serve in auxiliary roles in life and sport.

In relation to an Athlete a major role of GPP is to form, strengthen or restore skills that play an important but secondary role to your sport. GPP seeks to increase and maintain overall work capacity in areas that are under developed. GPP can expose individuals to new skills and push individuals mentally via challenging protocols. GPP can uncover weakness and promote balance. GPP can provide important off-season variety or unloads phases after focus stages.

In the average person GPP seeks to condition across a diverse range of activities. GPP produces increased work capacity across a broad range of disciplines and skills and lays a foundation for healthy movement patterns. A strong base of GPP leads to fast adaptation process to unfamiliar or unaccustomed physical and mental demands.

Lactate Threshold

What is it?
When the body is at rest or at regular work conditions, your metabolic rate creates a balance between lactate production and blood lactate removal. The Lactate Threshold (the Margin in which your body can no longer remove lactate as fast as it is produced) directly refers to exercise stress, which produces a rapid increase in blood lactate and a decreased or less then efficient lactate removal.

Protocols that combine high volume (high work capacity), maximal steady –state training (Fluctuating Intensity Work) and Interval Training (high Intensity Work) result in increased Lactate Threshold.

Generally thought to be a concern for Power Athletes Lactate Threshold training (conditioning to improve the bodies ability to balance blood lactate production and removal during times of exercise stress) can dramatically improve performance in endurance events as will as power orientated events.

For the Generalist?
So what’s it all mean to me Recreational Jo?

Protocols that focus on Lactate Threshold improvement create a time efficient format that has multiple impacts on every aspect of fitness. Providing a board-reaching program in minimal time. That with appropriate nutrition and recovery techniques, individuals are left with an ideal conditioning structure that produces abilities and allows time to be applied to other disciplines.

Adaptations

Our commitment to evidence-based fitness, publicly posting performance data, co-developing our program in collaboration with other coaches, and our open-source charter in general has well positioned us to garner important lessons from our program—to learn precisely and accurately, that is, about the adaptations elicited by CrossFit programming. What we’ve discovered is that CrossFit increases work capacity across broad time and modal domains. This is a discovery of great import and has come to motivate our programming and refocus our efforts. This far-reaching increase in work capacity supports our initially stated aims of building a broad, general, and inclusive fitness program. It also explains the wide variety of sport demands met by CrossFit as evidenced by our deep penetration among diverse sports and endeavors. We’ve come to see increased work capacity as the holy grail of performance improvement and all other common metrics like VO2 max, lactate threshold, body composition, and even strength and flexibility as being correlates—derivatives, even. We’d not trade improvements in any other fitness metric for a decrease in work capacity.

How to use the WODs?(Work Out of the Day)
CFS will post the HQ WOD, ENDURANCE WOD, and STRENGTH WOD
Allowing individuals for cycling through different focus within there training or specific focus for events.

CF HQ WOD
Can be used as a stand alone conditioning unit that can integrated into your own sport specific training.HQ WOD give you a all round basis of strength and conditioning. Broad by design it generally demands a degree of skill acquirement and increases in movement efficiency over a initial period.

ENDURANCE WOD
Created for those with an Endurance bias as a focus for training.
The Endurance WOD is designed to be completed in conjunction with the CFHQ WOD giving specific endurance training in High intensity format.If you have Tri/ Cycling or running as your sport we recommend you try this WOD Endurance. A training split of 4~6 hours between HQ WOD and Endurance WOD is recommended.The aim is efficient use of training time to best equip individuals for endurance events.

STRENGTH WOD
WOD Strength is designed as a stand alone cycle for developing relative strength and improved performance in Clean &Jerk and Snatch lifts. Based around 1RM% of complex lifts and ballistic lifts it will also give you a progressive template for improving your 1RM in basic Lifts. A byproduct can be Mass Gain (largely dependent on nutrition) however its focus is improve strength.
Small 10min in duration Metabolic Conditioning circuits can be used in conjunction with the WOD Strength to maintain strength and conditioning without taking away from progressive strength gains.
If using WOD Strength in conjunction with HQ WOD it is best to scale one or the other in relation to your goals of either strength gains or increased anaerobic conditioning.

Fit or CrossFit?

CrossFit is a base strength and conditioning format seeking to be as broad and functional as possible.
The primary focus is to develop increases in relative strength to body weight ratio and create greater efficiency within the anaerobic system.
CrossFit will work your weaknesses and challenge you with new skills. Developing a highly transferable form of fitness that can be a stand alone program or base conditioning for sport specific goals.
