From the age of 15, Anne Sargent had been a distance runner. After a year and a half of CrossFit, the 46-year-old decided to run a half marathon with no additional training. She bested the time she set at 38 by about a minute and a half. “So almost eight years later, I ran the same distance using CrossFit training rather than traditional running, and I got a personal best,” she explains. “I thought, ‘Wow, it really does work, doesn’t it?’” Sargent has been

In 2007, Erin Cafaro had been rowing for three years and had been on the U.S. national team for a year and a half. The next year was an Olympic one, and Cafaro needed to get stronger. Through her brother, she discovered CrossFit. Not only did Cafaro make the team, but her team won gold in Beijing. This year, she’s headed back to the Olympics. “If you’ve been to the Olympics before, it’s not a given that you get to go again,” explains Cafaro, who also helps with

Joint Mobility

2012/07/06

Once you mobilize the muscle, you mobilize the joint. In this video, movement and mobility guru Kelly Starrett presents two ways of mobilization with band distraction and compression/approximation. The band acts as a force multiplier, he says while stretching an attendee at the trainer course with a resistance band. “His capsule is thick and powerful,” Starrett says. “If I don’t put some kind of vector or encourage a different motion or a hinge going on there, I’m

Teachers and CrossFit

Meet Jane and Lynn: teachers, CrossFitters and coaches at CrossFit NRG. Jane Drexler teaches philosophy, and Lynn Kilpatrick teaches composition. Both said CrossFit is a lot like their day jobs. Being a professor requires summoning a tremendous amount of energy, which is followed by an awesome feeling once the class is done, Drexler explains. “I would describe a CrossFit workout in the same sorts of terms,” she says. “I look at the board, I’m a little bit petrified, and

The Turkish Get-Up Series: The Steps

2012/06/14

In the second part of the Turkish get-up series, kettlebell guru Jeff Martone outlines the three steps of the movement. First there’s sitting up, then the transition to the knee and, finally, standing up. While lying on the floor, your chest must be open. Then, ensure your knuckles remain in the same spot in space. Next, press, drive off the heel and keep coming up to a sitting position. This position, Martone cautions, does not involve merely rolling over or sitting straight up like a

Perfect Form and Intensity

Losing control is the road to adaptation, Rob Orlando says. In this video, the Hybrid Athletics owner has a Q&A with a group of nine Israeli CrossFitters who visited his box late last year. Among them is Moshiko “Mo” Sameach, known as an athlete with near-perfect form on every rep. “If it’s flawless, it’s not fast enough,” Orlando tells him. “If the question is, ‘How do I get from a five-minute Fran to a three-minute Fran?’ … you

Lengthening Muscle With PNF

CrossFit Journal (Video) ·

2012/06/08

In this video, movement and mobility expert Kelly Starrett talks about lengthening the muscle via proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, or PNF. To illustrate, he has class participants get into the deadlift position, relax and re-tension. “What are we doing here? Testing and retesting, showing that there’s actual change,” he says. Next, it’s time to bring the hammer down on the posterior chain, Starrett says. He asks everyone to lie on the floor and pull one knee to

Paoli’s Muscle-Up Progression: Part 2

2012/06/06

Now that you’ve done your time with band-assisted muscle-up prep in Part 1, Carl Paoli takes you to the next step. In Part 2, the gymnastics and movement specialist jumps on the rings and swings. He does so with a pseudo-false grip: the thumb over the index finger. His hands turn out when his feet are behind him. “If I have that and I can swing and the rings are still still and not going into this crazy swinging ring, then I’m good to go for the next step,” he

Gripping the Bar

Active shoulders, weight over the base of the feet and, yes, the hook grip. In this snippet from an Olympic Weightlifting Trainer Course, Mike Burgener first talks about keeping the shoulders externally rotated to keep the bar in a strong position overhead. “If that bar’s up here over your head and you’re shrugging your shoulders … where does the bar go? It goes forward automatically because it becomes an internal rotation,” he says. The next point he makes is about

Paoli’s Muscle-Up Progression: Part 1

2012/05/29

Consider this your muscle-up primer. In Part 1, gymnastics and movement specialist Carl Paoli shows us the band-assisted muscle-up prep he uses for every athlete. “I need to be able to bow back and forth as a … pretty strong shape that can kind of just be manipulated, molded,” he begins. Paoli breaks down the progression into four steps: 1. Hip extension and flexion. 2. From hip extension to a fast sit-up. 3. From the sit-up to driving the heels to the butt. 4. Then pull the

Birth defects left 46-year-old Todd Bittner with only one kidney and damage to his heart, and he wears two artificial legs. That doesn’t slow him down much. Bittner is a high-school assistant principal and athletic director, as well as a member of CrossFit Thin Air in Winter Park, Colo. He’s played baseball, and he was a rings specialist in high school. He was a member of the U.S. Disabled Ski Team in the ’90s, and he recently competed in the Reebok CrossFit Games

Strongman Programming

Programming isn’t hard, says stongman guru Rob Orlando. While it’s easy to get lost in the minutia, you need to see the big picture. “We’re doing this to get healthier, fitter, faster 10 years from now—not next week,” Orlando explains. In this video, the Hybrid Athletics owner has a Q&A with a group of nine Israeli CrossFitters who visited his box late last year. “I can teach somebody how to open their hip and use it in less than five minutes,” he

Damper Setting and Drag Factor

2012/05/23

What’s the difference between the damper setting and the drag factor on a rower? Shane Farmer of CrossFit Invictus has the answer. “As I use the term ‘damper setting,’ what I’m talking about is moving this wheel right here,” the rowing specialist explains. “When I’m talking drag factor, I’m calibrating what’s on the monitor using a function that we have on this computer here.” Specifically, the damper setting lets more or less air

CrossFit Striking: Combinations

2012/05/18

Every heard of Striking Helen? Everything’s the same except the 12 pull-ups become 12 full-strike combinations: one-two, one-two, then repeat. Welcome to CrossFit Striking. “Combinations have an amazing transference to athletics and life because in sports and in life you need to be able to rotate,” says George Ryan of CrossFit Striking, who is assisted by pro MMA fighter Neal Abrams. “And by performing striking combinations at a high frequency and high intensity,

Cooking Beef Skewers

Michele Vieux of CrossFit Invictus calls them “meat lollipops.” They’re ideal for appetizers or just something quick. “Anyone can make this—even the most bachelorest bachelor ever,” she says. The ingredients: 1 lb. of ground beef, yellow curry powder, fresh chopped garlic, green onions, sesame oil, and salt and pepper. The beef is shaped around the skewers and can be thrown onto a grill or into the oven. “If you have uninvited guests (and) you still feel

Fixing Common Rowing Errors

CrossFit Journal (Video) ·

2012/05/10

When it comes to rowing in CrossFit, there are three common errors: early back opening, early arm break and extreme layback. When the back opens early in the stroke, much of the hip drive is missing, says Shane Farmer of CrossFit Rowing. The legs and hips should work in harmony, he explains. “As the legs get close to finishing, then we’re going to kick our hips in to continue momentum and help us finish the stroke,” Farmer says. He adds that keeping a nice posture is key. In

The Beck Family

2012/05/07

When the Beck family arrived at CrossFit Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina, they were an unhealthy bunch. Jeff Beck had gained weight from skipping workouts. His father, Rickey, had a series of injuries and brain surgery. And his mother, Pam, eventually had 30 inches of her intestine removed. “They all joined at the same time,” says owner Karen Candia. “They got in here and they just went full force.” Today, all three—as well as Jeff’s wife, Courtney—are

External Rotation in the Deadlift, Clean and Snatch...

Externally rotating the ankles not only creates the right tension, but it also stabilizes the back and forces the torso upright. Mobility guru Kelly Starrett says the movement is important for the set-up of the deadlift as well as the Olympic lifts. “I contend that if you turn that foot out as an unconscious compromise, you’re immediately going to collapse through the ankle,” he says. “And that sets me up … so my only plane of force is to rotate in—’cause

If you’re reading this, chances are you’re a gym rat, and Raphael Ruiz of CrossFit Football says it’s easy for you to fall prey to the “curse of the gifted.” Those drawn to the gym-rat mentality likely spend time doing what they love—and not much else, he adds. “How many of us stretch as much as you’re supposed to stretch?” Ruiz asks. “How many of us do the things that we suck at?” When training athletes, you must remember the end
