Spray 1 Jessica Spray Coach Sage Kines 416 April 1 Project 2: Applying Sport and Exercise Psychology Principles Have you ever stepped up in a physical activity to perform a movement or skill for the first time that you didn’t really know how to explain or do correctly? In CrossFit, one who isn’t very educated with the sport may say that the sport is crazy because of the injury rate …
The field at last year’s Games after Murph more closely resembled a Casualty Collection Point than an elite fitness competition. People experienced actual, life-threatening medical emergencies as a result of reckless programming and brutal conditions.
The arms race that is Games programming is in blatant denial or defiance of the responsibility an entity as powerful as CrossFit HQ. Because so many eyes are watching and taking what they do as an accepted standard, the moral and responsible thing to do would be to display measured leadership and intelligence.
If you’re wondering why people hate CrossFit, look no further than the way CFHQ presents itself and its sport to the world.
WOD – also known as Workout Of the Day – is the term used by CrossFit to describe, well, exactly that. At the end of each CrossFit session, you'll find a full-on fitness challenge that'll put all your skill and fitness to the test.
It's a term coined by CrossFit to describe the action of deep squatting with a barbell before standing upright and overhead pressing it in one fluid motion.
Not only does it give an impressively tough cardio workout and helps build core strength, but it also improves balance and coordination. In CrossFit workouts, the challenge is maxed out with the inclusion of the double under – a movement where the rope rotates around the body twice.
Named after Nicholas P Steinbacher, a US Army Specialist who died in Baghdad, Iraq, Nick is a moderately technical WOD that has a painfully high 12 rounds to finish. Dumbell hang squat cleans aren’t the toughest exercise in the CrossFit repertoire but follow them up with handstand push-ups and suddenly things change quite dramatically. By the sixth round – assuming you can actually do HSPUs – your shoulders are likely to be jelly. Don’t expect to be doing much waving at people for the rest of the day.
Firstly because it's made of three different bar exercises and secondly because it's, well, incredibly difficult.
Of all the elements of physical training that go to helping you towards your goals, stamina is one area that... Sweat Workout. The ultimate TRX leg workout. Suspension training has become one of the fastest growing forms of home workout over the past decade. Not only does... Sweat Workout.
A 1,000-meter row is enough to take out most people at full pelt, but throw in 50 thrusters and 30 pull-ups and you're looking at some major fatigue afterwards.
Since 2005, CrossFit has posted workouts meant to honor the memories of CrossFit service members who made the ultimate sacrifice and exemplary members of the CrossFit community who are no longer with us.
In honor of Petty Officer 1st Class Jeff Taylor, 30, of Midway, West Virginia, who was killed on June 28, 2005, while conducting combat operations in the vicinity of Asadabad, Afghanistan, in Kumar Province.

Some of the hardest CrossFit workouts are named after women. Why? Greg Glassman (founder of CrossFit) has explained: “I thought that anything that left you flat on your back, looking up at the sky asking ‘what just happened to me?’ deserved a females name.” Chelsea has the same rep scheme (5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, and 15 squats) as her slightly less evil sister, Cindy, but with a twist: this one’s a 30-minute EMOM (every minute, on the minute). At the start of each minute, try to complete all the reps. The remaining time left in the minute is your rest.
The Ryan lasts five rounds, done as fast as possible. Each round includes 7 muscle-ups followed by 21 burpees. The workout is named after Missouri firefighter and CrossFit enthusiast Ryan Hummert, who was killed by sniper fire while responding to a call.
A CrossFit staple, the Filthy 50 is a brutal series of taxing exercises that’s likely to seem endless if you’ve never done it before. The circuit includes 50 reps of 10 different exercises, all done as quickly as possible. Do 50 box jumps with a 24-inch box, 50 jumping pullups, 50 kettlebell swings, 50 walking lunge steps, 50 knees to elbows, 50 reps of push press with 45 pounds, 50 back extensions, 50 wallballs using a 20-pound ball, 50 burpees (dropping all the way to the floor), 50 double-unders.
Nathan Forster, owner/trainer of Reebok CrossFit 5th Av e in New York, says that the last mile is always the toughest part, no matter how well you’ve paced yourself. “You want to sprint to the finish but for most people, they’re pretty gassed at that point,” he says.
“ [The Filthy 50] is such a challenge because you have to literally be good at everything. It’s a full-body workout that includes cardio.” The sheer number of exercises can be hard to fathom, so it’s best to just pace yourself and focus on the task at hand, not on how much more there is to do. Of course, you can also modify this and do less of each exercise if you’re new to CrossFit and don’t want to dive in head-first—try 20 or 25 of each during your first time through the circuit.
Fran is often one of the first WODs that people get exposed to as they get into CrossFit. Still, that doesn’t mean it’s not tough. “The pull-ups are definitely the difficult part of this WOD,” Haley says. “I mean, it’s definitely harder for women, but I’ve seen men struggle just as much.”.
Not many people know how to do one, so being able to perform one shows a huge commitment to CrossFit training. That said, this WOD requires you to complete a huge number of them. Haley advises to get a great coach who can do muscle-ups well if you have an interest in learning the exercise. Once you learn that, this circuit will provide yet another insane challenge.
