CrossFit Math!

Here is some CrossFit math to ponder...

If... Contractile Potential = An Individual's Ability to Complete Work
And... Work = Functional Movement
Then... Contractile Potential = An Individual's Ability to Complete Functional Movement

Strength > Contractile Potential
Strength = Productive Application of Force
Contractile Potential + Technique = Maximum Work Capacity of an Individual

Productive application of force is technique dependent.
There are two limitations to successful completion of work
1) Biological - are you fit? Consider the ten fitness domains of CrossFit
2) Technique

Lesson Complete. Now Get To Work. 3-2-1-GO!
For time:

Broad Jump 50 yards counting the number of reps
2 Rounds of:
Lunge that many times alternating legs
Burpee that many reps
20" Box Jump that many reps
Air Squat that many reps

Post time and number of jumps to comments.

Lesson on the CrossFit Warm-Up

Reminder for everyone...

The CFWU isn't strictly a warm-up tool. It is designed to hit all the major movements: hip extension, hip flexion, knee flexion, upper body pressing and upper body pulling. This allows you to fully activate the body, even on days when the WOD might only hit one or two of these movements. All the movements in the warm-up are fundamental, so as you see improvement in the warm-up you will see improvement in the WOD. This is especially important to those new to CrossFit since it builds a fair bit of strength in all the major muscle groups, and helps acclimate the body to what for most anyone but a CrossFitter would be a relatively high work volume.

With all this in mind, I don’t want you to end up getting overexerted during you warm-up. Feel free to cut back on certain exercises you may see in the WOD. Just like the WOD, the warm-up can be scaled. You can always do fewer repetitions or an easier version of an exercise (i.e. jumping or assisted pull-ups instead of regular pull-ups).

The “Official CFWU” is as follows:
3 rounds of 10-15 reps of
Samson Stretch (do the Samson Stretch once each round for 15-30 seconds)
Overhead Squat with broomstick
Sit-up
Back-extension
Pull-up
Dip

I have added pushups because I think it is an essential part of our workouts and is something I see weakness in very often. I also split the overhead squats into two separate movements. 1) body weight squat & 2) Shoulder "Crunchers" - with a wide grip on a stick and elbows locked, pass the hands overhead and down to the lower back and return to the front. This will help those with upper-body flexibility issues to loosen up.
