CrossFit Niagara: In the beginning...

20081002

In the beginning...

Recently, HQ added the "old site" archived WOD's.
Way back on February 10, 2001 www.crossfit.com was broadcast on the worldwideweb... I only wish I found it way back then.
This is the first CrossFit WOD posted...

Fast & Heavy
Dumbell "Thruster" 21 reps
Run 1/4 mile (400m)
Dumbell "Thruster" 18 reps
Run 1/4 mile (400 m)
Dumbell "Thruster" 15 reps
Run 1/4 mile (400 m)

Notes:

"Thruster" is a deep front squat to a push press all in one explosive movement.
Time routine from start to finish.
Ranking is a composite of load used in "Thruster" and total time.
Submit body weight because load value is based on percentage of body weight.

Amazing workout.
Such great mental discipline to increase intensity when your limbs want to fall off from fatigue.
I think I might try that some time.

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.
