CrossFit Sydney's Work Out of the Day Credo

You may talk about Crossfit!
You are not your WOD Time!
You are not your DeadLift Number!
You are not your 5min Snatch!
No One Wins a WO!
You seek Intensity over Duration!
Everyone will experience Attrition!
If the WO was easy you didn't WO!

Attrition

The CrossFit method places individuals into routines that impose pressure to perform against time or loads. Tasks are set, and the goal is to complete them in best time, best form, best load possible. At some stage regardless of previous experience, fitness levels etc, attrition sets in.

Attrition and fatigue cause people to access more then just muscular actions. You will have to "Dig Deep" and put some mental determination into the task at hand. This psychological effect can be just as important as the effect of the routine on your CV System.
There are times in sport and life that individuals are placed in situations that are uncomfortable, difficult perhaps dangerous and regardless of experience, aptitude or intelligence you will have to grit it out or quit.
Rarely in Gym based fitness programs is there this type of necessity.
Pushing yourself through training that stimulates pressured performance is seen as "Character Building" in common wisdom. CrossFit brings that to your gym routine and beyond.
A conditioning routine without the presence of some kind of attrition based training format robs participants of the important aspect of psychological conditioning.

What is CrossFit?

The CrossFit protocol is designedby G&L Glassman.
We believe it is ideal base conditioning for people who are looking for a challenaging yet rewarding fitness program for life or for people who actively engage in outdoor pursuits or have intense phsyical challenage as part of their vocation.
CrossFit produces what we believe to be a truly functional fitness level that is highly transferable to all athletic pursuits as well as daily physical tasks.
Crossfit is a foundational Core and Conditioning program that seeks to elicit as broad as adaptation response as possible utilizing training formats derived from Gymnastics, Olympic Weight Lifting, Sprinting and Combat disciplines.
Individuals within the program develop greater understanding of applying force while maximizing strength to weight ratio and functional range of movement. Enhancing individual’s competency in physical tasks by improving Cardiovascular and Respiratory Endurance, Strength, Flexibility, Power, Agility, Coordination and Balance.
What results is the ability to apply strength and power in real world environments and or sports providing either a stand alone conditioning routine or a platform for sport specific performance.

What Crossfit isn’t!
We are not a Hypertrophy or Curves program centered on making you look good in underwear! (Although this may be a result)
We are not Psychiatrists!
We are not a Knitting Group!

WOD

WOD stands for Work Out of the Day.
This is the main focus for that day and is set out in a task completion format.WODs are the recommended focus for that day and do not include a warm up or cool down nor skill or technique issues however we recommend your WOD incorporate these elements.

WOD as Rxed?
The work out of the day as written or as recommended is to complete the task as per the instructions.

Can't do the WOD as Rxed?
Can't complete due to technique, equipment,volume,load etc. Then scale the WOD so that it is achievable within a time frame of 45mins.
Scale for completion.
So you can get through the WOD
Scale for Effect
So as to focus on an element of the training effect(strength,speed)

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
From CFE
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
Derived from Catalyst Athletics
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.

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.

Body Weight and Strength

In the realm of General Physical Preparedness Training, Strength is always relative to the BW of the Trainee. The focus of a training format is to make improvements of people’s power,strength and work capacity. Training loads must be calculated in relation to the individuals Body mass.
Need Competition? Then choose your sport and apply your strength and power.
The application of that strength or power is what matters in competition and requires skill and agility. Such Aspects are rarely seen trained in Gyms.
