CrossFit is a quickly growing division in the athletic community. Created in 2000, the sport was developed to strengthen the human body while also improving its mobility. All CrossFit workouts are based on the core movements of life. These movements reflect the aspects of gymnastics, weightlifting, running, rowing and more. There are three main different kinds of workouts for both the professional and average crossfitter. Those three are the Endurance, Strength and Speed workouts. A huge factor in CrossFit is being able to workout at high intensities for substantial amount of time. CrossFit Endurance builds on a CrossFit base through increased stamina efforts (time trials, intervals). CrossFit Endurance refers to cardio respiratory endurance,

Without it, athletes wouldn’t be able to even finish the warm up sessions. CrossFit is a form of training that takes a great deal of anaerobic capacity to make movements more efficient and effective. CrossFit is a form of training that takes a great deal of anaerobic capacity to make movements more efficient and effective. Crossfit doesn’t take into account the weak. Once a sound strength base has been established, then it is important to work on mastering more advanced skills. I believe there are two keys to success in any sport, technique and strength. You can practice mechanics all day, but until you are able to lift weight heavier than you are, there is no point to even participate in sports like CrossFit. If you let the developmental progressions take their course in all things specifically related to CrossFit, you will get better. It has been scientifically proven that rest days significantly improve strength. Letting your body recover from your intense two hour muscle massacre allows the body to bigger, stronger muscle tissue. It occurs differently in different people, but results should be more prominent within at least 30 days. Having the heaviest maxes on lifts are fantastic, but it means nothing in the CrossFit circuit if it takes you 2 hours to achieve 2 different …show more content…
High intense drills can really pay off in terms of our coordination, balance, and steady recruitment of fast-twitch muscle fibers. Being able to complete the speed trial workouts with impressive times is arguably one of the most satisfying feelings a CrossFit athlete can have. Not only in sprint repetitions, but also in explosive weight training. Earlier in the week focus on linear and speed development drills. As any athlete can agree with, the end of the week yields it’s lazy thinking. So naturally, performing your speed drills early in the week should prove to be more effective. Speed in CrossFit simply means the ability to minimize a time cycle of a repeated movement. Agility, however, refers to the minimization of the transition time from one movement to another. Speed is essential for any serious CrossFit athlete if they want to complete timed movements. Agility is just as essential, especially when the timed movements become loaded with multiple lifts consecutively. Mastering speed and agility in your CrossFit career will take you two “quick” steps in the right
