Adaptations

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.

I have a request and please anyone who agrees with me speak up also as I think it will increase the probability of a response. First, has anyone else bought a shirt from the online store? There is one listed as made of Under Armor material so I know what that is. What are the other shirts made of? If they are made of cotton as I suspect then I would like to request a Crossfit shirt made of some sort of polyester wicking fabric like UA, or Nike Dryfit, etc that is also offered in a variety of colors. Preferably light colors like white, yellow, orange. I'm sure the other east coast crossfitters would appreciate this as well seeing as how it can be hot as hell here.
