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)

10 meters on then min. every minute add 10 meters. This can be done 2 ways. 1) either measured on a watch/computer (i.e., Garmin, Polar, bike computer, compu trainer or pool markers) and stopping each successive 10 meters by moving forward. This is the way that it should be done for cycling or swimming. Or 2) set up 2 cones 10 meters a part, and add one return trip each minute on the minute... Either way, you are to add 10 meters each round until you can no longer continue.

CrossFit Total (CFT)
This WOD is a way of determining your 1 Rep Max for the 3 Central Lifts of Squat,Press and Pull (Deadlift).
This total will give you a reference point to compare future WOs and a method of caluating approx loads for other strength based protocols used in the WODs[eg: 5x5,7x3]
Ideally you should have some approx loads in your mind for 5 Rep Max, 3 Rep Max and 1 Rep Max.
How do I go about it?
Warm Up
Aproach the first lift by doing 15 to 20 reps at a light weight paying attention to form.[eg:empty bar]
Rest
Perform 5 reps at a greater load but below your 5 rep max.
Rest
Perform 3 reps at a greater loads but below your 3rep max
Rest
Perform a Heavy single at approx 3 Rep Max
You are ready.
You have 3 attempts to achieve the best 1 Rep Max you can perform.
Rest >3mins between attempts
Gee yourself the F up,or get your partner to charge you up!!(feel free to be creative in this process and send all photos or vids to CrossFitSydney)
First Attempt Your 3 Rep Max or slightly above[Use the result [Fail or Clean lift] to determine whether to attempt more or less load. ]-Rest
Second Attempt Your 2 Rep Max or slightly above[Use the result [Fail or Clean lift] to determine whether to attempt more or less load.] -Rest
Third Attempt
Load what you believe to be your Maximal Effort,attempt the Lift.Your performance in the previous two lifts should guide your load.
Continue the Process for the next Lift.
Some Precautions From Coach M Rippetoe
Don't be a F ing Idiot
Don't CFT if you are injured to the extent that a CFT will aggravate the problem.
Don't Overreach
Be ambitious not greedy.

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.

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.

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 Bio mechanical 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 relation 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 Work Out produces a reference point from which to determine increases in power output when compared to future attempts.

Endurance
Endurance events have a large metal aspect to them. Repetitive movement has a lasting effect on joints muscles and the mind. While training for increasing efficiency over Long distance can be achieved to an extent by effective High Intensity Formats there is an essential need for Endurance Work if planning long endurance events.
Long Slow Distance is necessary to develop efficient movement technique in your chosen discipline.Which will minimise the repetitive abuse experienced in long events.
LSD can condition the body to cope with such extended bouts of repetitive abuse.This means the little details such as clothing rub,blisters etc as well as conditioning soft tissue.
LSD can prepare you mentally for the extended duration involved.Pushing oneself or pushing together in a group through a long event can build metal determination and confidence in team mates.
Experience in such training will also expose the individual to the elements, conditions and contingencies that are often unpredictable,exposure to such experiences can be invaluable for race or emergency situations.
CrossFit is ideal conditioning for improving the speed at which you participate in endurance events by increasing strength, power, mobility etc, however endurance events require time committed to Sport specific endurance conditioning.

Why we train to maximize the Power to Mass Ratio.
Power = Work/Time
Work = Force x distance
Power involves more then just this formula entails. Power is functional strength expressed in terms of acceleration, execution time or velocity in a given motor skill or kinetic chain rather then isolated exercise. Power is to generate/apply force, which requires other key areas of agility, speed, reaction and range of movement.
Increasing Power means to increase other areas of motor skill and kinetic movement such as relative strength, speed, agility and range of movement. The training of these key factors goes together to increase both Aerobic and Anaerobic capacity by focusing on the interrelated Energy Systems of the Phosphagen and Fast & Slow Glycolysis.
Regardless of your Goals increasing your power ratio will aid competency in movement and performance.

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.

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.

What is CrossFit?
The CrossFit protocol is designed by G&L Glassman.
We believe it is ideal base conditioning for people who are looking for a challenging yet rewarding fitness program for life or for people who actively engage in outdoor pursuits or have intense physical challenge 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!

Chippers
A "Chipper" is a WOD designed to be challenging by its sheer volume and variety of movements.Chippers tend to require individuals to reduce or pace themselves through each task so as to finish the full event.This requires a degree of metal determination as well as physical fitness.
The solution is to "Chip" away at the volume in small units that do not see you go to failure or deteriorate the technique of the movement.
Decide on a Rep scheme that you can achieve in good form
Set small timed breaks or "walk aways" between the designated reps.
Accumulate the reps until complete.
Don't Give Up
Start Chipping.
