What is CrossFit?

CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide. Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.

100 Day Burpee Challenge


Day 26 is upon us ...

I know of two individuals who have started this challenge with good intentions and haven't kept up, thinking it was too far gone to catch up. Matt Hudson & Luke MacKinnon are on the path to buying in through Day 26. That's determination to finish something.

The burpees are getting harder for most, but stick with it.

Awesome post from CrossFit One World:
"Coach Glassman once pointed out that people who do Crossfit are of strong moral character. Let's face it... shitheads don't have the moral fortitude to push themselves to the limit day in and day out."

100 Day Burpee Challenge:
Day 26
Burpee Buy-In: 351
Burpees Remaining: 4,699

Today's WOD:
Complete For Time:
15 x Power Cleans (Use 85% of your BW / 180 lbs Person = 155 lbs)
Run 400 Meters (or Row 500 Meters if available)
