crossfit is basically HIT with gymnastic and weightlifting. It's not new...but now it's a brand. football, rugby, hockey, etc. have been using this style of workouts for decades. I say crossfit so it's easy for people to understand how I train. What I'm really doing is powerlifting, weightlifting with HIT circuits. I also run ( just did a 10.2 mile trail race) and row. I'm currently at 335k meters on the year which averages out to about 2 miles of rowing a day. CF also uses a ton of bodyweight movements as well.
is this crossfit or powerlifting? It's powerlifting but crossfit uses it in their programming. Again cf is just a brand but at the end of the day, it's just working out competitively, usually under a time cap.
All about those Yorks huh? They look nice. I'm partial to Pendlay for weightlifing as most of my PRs are with them. Never tried a York. I've used Pendlay, Elieko, and Rogue.
lol I guess I should've specificied old Yorks, pre-1990s. I've a got a few bumpers and milled plates from that era.
But I also have 25kg pair of Eleikos training I found on craigslist, rogue bars, elitefts ssb, and other goodies. I sold a bunch of stuff before the move. it's a shame I don't use what I have left and have joined a gym.
people rave about the pendlays, but i've never used them myself.
just the basic powerlifts. i'm basically starting over after not having lifted for almost a year. i'm starting to row a bit on a C2, and would like to ramp that up for endurance. do you have any recommendations on programs to follow? I found The Pete Plan online and was thinking about using it.
I follow a similar protocol to Gray Skull Linear progression for overhead press, deadlift, and bench. I follow a modified Wendler program for back and front squats. For endurance I just try to row about 4k a day. I may do it all at once or I may do 4 x 1000m. Then I also throw in a CF workout about 2x a week.
geez, sounds like a crapload of work. very nice. do you lift 2 days and CF 2 days?
i'm starting off with a home brew until i get reacquainted with the bar, then would like to do juggernaut. i've never done greyskull. I 've done wendler before but progress/volume were too slow for my liking. my focus for the next 6 months to a year is going to be bench, row, and deads, trying to get them to some respectable numbers.
It is a lot of work but the gym is where I feel the best (or on the golf course or outdoors camping).
So for me it seems like the perfect amount. I lift 4 to 5 days a week. About 3 days a week I do 2-a-days.
That's where I'll usually get in more rowing or a CF workout.
@jackbravo - Also, I recommend getting the C2 ergdata app on your phone and a usb cable from your phone to the C2 rower. It tracks everything for you. Pretty cool! Also updates it to an online log on their website as well.
