I passed by a CF gym and got really inspired by the energy. I have been house + bedbound for 10 years. i still struggle to walk without a walker. I can bike decently. Do you think crossfit is way out of reach for someone so deconditioned?
@@monroemiller nothing wrong with nerdy! This is great information and fascinating to see the science behind crossfit programming. Looking forward to your future videos further explaining some of these topics! Great job!
I am 53 and started CFR 2 years ago. At the gym I go to, there are people of all sorts: elite athletes, average joes, and people like me who found fitness late in life. All the movements can be scaled to your ability. If you find a good gym, the coaches are going to meet you where you are at, and the community is going to make you feel super welcome. It can be a lot to take in at first, but just focus on yourself and don't get to caught up in what everyone else is doing. I keep telling myself, the only person I am competing against is the version of myself that doesn't do CF. Good luck! I hope you give it a shot.
Hi Monroe, trying to switch from powerlifting to crossfit. I love crossfit mentality. But having trouble with creating my own routine. I can find WODs but how will I append them together and create a solid program to follow. appreciated.
What is life offered more than just the ability to perform physically, fully dressed in a confined environment? Wouldn’t that help to REALLY become a better version of yourself? Why limiting yourself to such an incredible minuscule part of enormous possibilities?
Only poor part is the definition of intensity. There are several useful definitions and measures of intensity that could be applied to CrossFit. Also " high intensity" is broader than just maximal effort which is not something that should be sought in every training session
In a traditional progressive overload training protocol, one would constantly VARY weights and or volume This can protocol can be optimized by greater variance. For example deadlift Then Rdl's Then power cleans Then deficit deadlift Then deadlift from blocks Then high rep deadlift Then low volume high weight deadlift Then snatch deadlift Etc. This continual variance has been shown to have greater efficacy in both strength gains as well as general motor control since your joints are practicing structural integrity in a variety of shapes that still relate to the hinge
You are doing a better job of describing CrossFit than CrossFit HQ
One of the best Non Crossfit HQ explanations of Crossfit I have ever seen!
Thank you I really appreciate that 🙏🏼

Great video and great explanation.
Thanks Ron! This was tough to try to make it concise and not get too nerdy.

Thanks! Yes I will definitely be making a part 2 to this video in the near future!
Good stuff
great content. Cant believe you only have 704 subs.
Thank you I’m trying!! 😩😂
I have a 15 year old daughter who plays field hockey, basketball and lacrosse. Will crossfit help her lose weight, get stronger and sprint faster?
Refreshing video!
is this program safe for a 50 year old woman who has never exercised in a gym?

Muscle confusion is a myth. Constantly varied does not mean better. Progressive overload works. I like CrossFit but what you said there is incorrect
In a traditional progressive overload training protocol, one would constantly VARY weights and or volume
This can protocol can be optimized by greater variance. For example
deadlift
Then Rdl's
Then power cleans
Then deficit deadlift
Then deadlift from blocks
Then high rep deadlift
Then low volume high weight deadlift
Then snatch deadlift
Etc. This continual variance has been shown to have greater efficacy in both strength gains as well as general motor control since your joints are practicing structural integrity in a variety of shapes that still relate to the hinge
Who said muscle confusion?
I wish he would have just said crossfit is working out really hard in an organized fashion, because that’s all I’m gathering from this.
👍👍👍👍👍
Is it CrossFit?
Crossfit started with drugs.
Crackfit
nearly sent me to sleep ..zzzz....
