Components of Warrior Crossfit Workout

1. Warm-up: Dynamic range of motion and strengthening series that is described on the right hand side of the page below

2. Practice: During this portion we focus on 1 maybe 2 lifts and really focus on perfect form and attaining new strength gains

3. Train: The training portion is the high intensity, all-out effort workout that CrossFit is known for. Your diet, recovery and focus should all be done with maximizing your training in mind. Warrior CrossFit programs its training so that you function well in both anaerobic and aerobic events (Metabolic Conditioning). Most of our training events will last between 4-10 minutes so give everything you've got

4. Post: After getting smoked we cool down with stretching. Usually the partner assisted contract/relax type

Workouts average between 45-60 min total

Off days are Thurdsay and Sunday: 3 on, 1 off; 2 on, 1 off

WARMUP - TO BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO EVERY WORKOUT

This is a linear progression of perfect form. If you can only do one rep perfect, then continue that one perfect rep the rest of the week. Next week you will do two, the following week do three, and so on. After you can do ten perfect reps, then increase the difficulty and/or range of motion.

World-Class Fitness in 100 Words:

o 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.
o 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.
o 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.
o Regularly learn and play new sports.
