An Idea

Imagine an idea that propels athletes and soldiers alike to seek even higher base levels of competentcy.
Imagine an idea that is so open source nimble, and ever self correcting, self improving in its daily application that it doesn't risk irrelevancy.
Imagine an idea that changes they way the health care rehabilitation industry (physical therapy) organizes and implements its care.
Imagine an idea that carries such self evident truth with it that thousands of people spontaneously form community and fellowship.
Crossfit promotes daily self competition, self reflection, and self refinement.

Spreading the Word

The CrossFit methodology depends on full disclosure of methods, results, and criticisms, and we’ve employed the Internet (and various intranets) to support these values. Our charter is open source, making co-developers out of participating coaches, athletes, and trainers through a spontaneous and collaborative online community. CrossFit is empirically driven, clinically tested, and community developed.

"For Time"

"For Time" indicates that the WOD will be timed from beginning until completion of all tasks set out.

Why Time a Work Out?

To create a Sense of Urgency: Life and Sport require actions to be completed with the pressure of time placed upon results.The CrossFit Method believes in Intensity and Volume over duration. In order to elicit pressure and maintain intensity within a Work Out, CrossFit WODs add the aspect of performing against the clock.

This "time" becomes a performance reference point when repeating the same workout in the future and gives individuals a goal to work towards.Bettering your Time.

Timing a WO elicits Power Generation.

Power=[Force X Distance]/Time.

By challenging Power Output we fatigue the Systems of the Human Body.Increasing an individuals power output can promote increases in absolute and relative strength, speed and endurance.

Timing a Work Out is all about You!

No one else,and the clock doesn't lie.

Want a faster time then suck in some O2 and crank another rep.

Responsibility Sucks doesn't it!

Ranking WOs

Constantly varied programming built from functional exercises executed at high intensity is the key to CrossFit’s physiological advantage. Our distillation of load, range of motion, exercise, power, work, line of action, flexibility, speed, and all pertinent metabolic's to a single value – usually time.
Public performance ranking in group sessions for each workout has seen the motivation and acceleration of improvement of those less physically capable by temperament, training, or natural limitation. Ranking has seemingly done more for bottom performers than top performers.
The skill elements included in CrossFit Conditioning furthers the sense of sport that so motivates individuals. CrossFit feels like sport!

The Difference

"CrossFit promotes discipline of the body and mind and enhances self-confidence both within and outside the gym.

The only downside of training CF is that you can’t go into a “Globo Gym” anymore without wondering how someone could take 25,000 sq. ft. of space, $100,000 of budget and still come up with something that is completely useless as a means of getting in shape. Give a CF’er a chinning bar, a piece of floor and something heavy, and you’ll get “elite fitness” in no time."

Ode to the People who Do.

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

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.

BW and Training Loads

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.

How to do CrossFit?

Learn the mechanics of fundamental movements; establish a consistent pattern of practicing these same movements, and, only then, ratchet up the intensity of workouts incorporating these movements. "Mechanics," then "Consistency," and then "Intensity" - this is the key to effective implementation of CrossFit programming.

Incremental progressive improvement is the goal of CrossFit Conditioning. The goal is not "winning a WO",nor having the best "Time" or being the best at CrossFit but to continuously improve your skill and conditioning levels. Creating a preparation base of diverse skills and high level of conditioning that is efficient and effective in application for whatever endeavor you choose.

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.

MUSCLE CONTRACTION

The Speed of muscular contraction is not determined by the simple synthesis of different motor capacities(strength,velocity or endurance).The increase of the speed of muscle contraction as a result of training is obtained through the increase of the following

:motor neuron impulse

:sacroplasmic hypertrophy

:power and capacity of energy providing mechanism

:functional supporting physiological systems of the organism
:through effective utilization of the motor potential of athlete assured by the appropriation of more expedient biomechanics of movement.

Anaerobic Adaptations

Training with continuous prolonged exercise at Anaerobic Threshold intensity level is an effective training method to enhance the oxidative capacity of slow twitch fibers. In addition interval training at an intensity level greater than or equal to VO2 Maxis an effective method to enhance the oxidative capacity of fast twitch fibers. When this type of interval training is used after the preliminary preparation of slow twitch fibers(through prolonged exercise at anaerobic threshold level)it also becomes a method of improving the athletes aerobic capacities with the same effectiveness as the continuous prolonged exercises training.

Core Strength and Conditioning

This phrase has a double meaning

1. The CrossFit method seeks to create a foundation base line level of fitness that has application to all athletic past times.

2. The CrossFit Method seeks to condition and strengthen the Core Muscles.
Efficient and productive human movement relies on extension and flexion of the hips and extension flexion and rotation of the trunk and torso, ”the core muscles”. These movements originate at the core and are relayed at increasing velocities to the extremities.

The CrossFit Method strengthens the Core Muscles through mixed modality cross training involving functional movement at high intensities, coupled with a core curriculum that emphasizes learning new skills and sports to assist in improving and applying their fitness conditioning.

The Impact of Metabolic Stress on Hormonal Responses and Muscular Adaptations



Kazushige Goto; Naokata Ishii; Tomohiro Kizuka; Kaoru Takamatsu
Author Information

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of exercise-induced metabolic stress on hormonal responses and chronic muscular adaptations.
Methods: We compared the acute and long-term effects of an NR regimen (no-rest regimen) and those of a WR regimen (regimen with rest period within a set). Twenty-six male subjects were assigned to either the NR ( N = 9), WR ( N = 9), or control (CON, N = 8) groups. The NR regimen consisted of 3-5 sets of 10 repetitions at 10-repetition maximum (RM) with an interset rest period of 1 min (lat pulldown, shoulder press, and bilateral knee extension). In the WR regimen, subjects completed the same protocol as the NR regimen, but took a 30-s rest period at the midpoint of each set of exercises in order to reduce exercise-induced metabolic stress. Acute hormonal responses to both regimens were measured followed by a 12-wk period of resistance training.

Results: Measurements of blood lactate and serum hormone concentrations after the NR and WR regimens showed that the NR regimen induced strong lactate, growth hormone (GH), epinephrine (E), and norepinephrine (NE) responses, whereas the WR regimen did not. Both regimens failed to cause significant changes in testosterone. After 12 wk of resistance training, the NR regimen caused greater increases in 1RM ( P < 0.01), maximal isometric strength ( P < 0.05), and muscular endurance ( P < 0.05) with knee extension than the WR regimen. The NR group showed a marked increase ( P < 0.01) in muscle cross-sectional area, whereas the WR and CON groups did not.

Conclusion: These results suggest that exercise-induced metabolic stress is associated with acute GH, E, and NE responses and chronic muscular adaptations following resistance training.

Growth Hormone

1.GH is released in 10-20 pulses throughout the day instead of in a steady stream.

2. The largest daily pulse of GH takes place during the beginning stages of sleep.

3. Anaerobic exercise (and the lactic acid it produces) seems to be linked to an increased pulse of GH that can last for about 2 hours after exercise. Many people state that 10-15 minutes of intense anaerobic exercise can create a large surge of GH.

4. Eating protein has been linked to an increased pulse of GH. There are many secretagogue products that claim to help release GH and are usually taken before exercise, after exercise, and/or before going to bed for the night.

5. Eating carbohydrates creates a surge of insulin which apparently dampens the release of GH. Many experts recommend to avoid eating carbs for 2 hours after exercise in order to not diminish the GH surge caused from exercise.

6. Fasting is said to be linked with an increased release of GH.

7. A stress response (including the stress response to long endurance exercise) has been said to dampen the release of GH

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.

GPP
General Physical Preparedness

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.GPP has implications for any individual who has physical demands placed unpon 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.

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.

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)
