This is one of my favorite compound exercises. It works your entire body to some degree, though it focuses mainly on core strength. I couldn’t really find a ton of good, in depth articles to show you guys off of the net - but there was one that seemed very good here! The CrossFit exercise [...]
Okay, so I’m back in the game! (I think)
Today’s crossfit workout doesn’t strike me as a nice way to ease back into my training, so I’m going to modify it. It’ll be something like the following:
80lb thrusters, 10 reps
10 pull-ups
10 handstand push-ups
80lb thrusters, 10 reps
10 weighted dips
10 hanging leg raises
Then I’ll probably throw in some [...]
Sometimes when you’re just starting out, or coming to one realm of fitness from another (say running to weightlifting), learning all of the different exercises can be overwhelming. Not only are there thousands of exercises, it can seem there are equally different ways to do each one! One might waste plenty of time scouring the [...]
This is one of the most fun yet challenging of the CF workouts. While I love working with iron, as they say, I still feel that it’s only a diversion until you have “mastered” your own bodyweight.
Five rounds, each for time of:
20 Pull-ups
30 Push-ups
40 Sit-ups
50 Squats
Rest precisely three minutes between each round. Post time for [...]
Today’s CF workout was:
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of the following-
Dead lift: 1 1/2 body weight
Bench press: body weight
Clean: 3/4 body weight
I weight ~175 lbs, and I found weighted push-ups to be a more fun & challenging alternative to the BP. This one sucked!

I assume you’re reading this article because you desire to know the ’secret’ to doing tons of pull-ups, or to doing well any exercise for that matter. Well I’ve got a method here thanks to Pavel Tsatsouline over on DragonDoor that will have you making Marines cry in a matter of months.
Here’s the thing though, [...]
Yesterday’s bout of death was a crazy 30 Muscle-ups for time, or 120 pull-ups and 120 dips if you cannot do the MU or don’t have proper equipment. I’m not sure whether I agree that 4 pull-ups and 4 dips is an effective replacement for 1 muscle up for me personally, as I can do [...]
Thruster 3-2-2-2-1-1-1-1-1 reps
For those who do not know what a thruster is aside from that it’s one of my favourite compound exercises, check out the folowing brief video from CrossFit’s exercise page.
Oh yeah, did I mention that I’m chuckling my ass off over the phrase ‘thruster video’? No? Well I am, so there…

I found this article, by Kelly Baggett, over at the UK Parkour Assoc’s website. It’s pretty in-depth and rather interesting. Enjoy!
