CrossFit Infinity: December 2008

3 months ago not one pull up.....now look at her....Well done Vikki, Great Effort!

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.

The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Our terrorist hunters, skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen.

Thousands of athletes worldwide have followed our workouts posted daily on this site and distinguished themselves in combat, the streets, the ring, stadiums, gyms and homes.

World Class Fitness in 100 Words

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.

How to get kicked out of your old gym in 10 days or less

Day 1
Bring your own music – use a boom box – and turn it up to inspiration levels and start working out. AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” should do the trick.

Day 2
Set up a circuit like one of the typical CrossFit “Workouts of the Day” and put a sign up at each station advising others that this equipment is reserved for accurate timing of your effort.

Day 3
While practicing the Olympic lifts drop a max load from overhead. This may do it right here.

Day 4
Find a twenty-inch platform and perform box jumps. Try three sets of two minutes of max jumps. Bizarrely, this one irks the $!*£ out of most gym management.

Day 5
Take a pair of dumbbells out into the parking lot to do walking lunges. You may be accused of theft.

Day 6
Bring several powerlifting buddies to do some super heavy deadlifts. Don’t forget to grunt, scream, and use chalk!

Day 7
If the gym has support poles climb them. If not find something to climb; sling a rope over a beam or rafters, attach some climbing holds to the wall and use them. You won’t get to the climbing part if you need to attach anything. You may get stopped at the door coming in with a twenty-five foot coil of two-inch rope.

Day 8
Workout with your shirt off. If you don’t get a reaction have your girlfriend or wife take hers off.

Day 9
Walk on your hands, or do handstand push-ups or some other basic gymnastics stuff.

Day 10
If you’ve gotten this far, this one is the clincher. Record your efforts by writing them on the wall.

If after day ten you are still allowed in, you belong to a great gym if not you are welcome to join CrossFit Infinity!
