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.

Starting today, you have FOUR goals:
Tighten Up on Your Diet: If you are not zoning (Zone Diet) or eating from the Paleo diet, start immediately. I will post CF Journal 21 here shortly - which is the CF Zone Diet Journal with a ton of good information.

WOD's: Start working WOD's that are high intensity and short in duration (less than 15 minutes). All qualifier WOD's are less than 20 minutes.

O-Lifts: Start training Olympic lifts at least two days a week, for me it's going to be Tuesday and Thursday. Lift and lift heavy, train deadlifts, squats, presses, clean & jerks, snatches, etc.

If you need to start O-lifting, start by reading Starting Strength by Coach Mark Rippetoe.

3 rounds = 19:15. Had to cut short due to time restriction. 210# deadlifts. 250 was too heavy for this 177 pounder.
