Loading up on a bunch of gear is REALLY fun, but getting fit, whether at the local globo gym or in your beloved garage or basement gym, is the whole point of it all. Thankfully, we love discussing things like workout tips and nutrition essentials as much as we like breaking down the specs of the newest power rack.
In this section, you'll find information on everything from general fitness to more sport-specific interests, most notably CrossFit, Olympic Weightlifting, powerlifting, and rucking.
...because...it's much better when you actually USE all of that equipment than turning it into glorified clothing racks!
Today, we’re going way back in time…back to when anything and everything could happen during the CrossFit Open.
Unfortunately, the things that awe us today would have been incomprehensible by the standards at the time, leaving us with some workouts that look…rather “underwhelming”.
They’re all here; you can be the judge.
From Covid-era modifications to “choose your own adventure”-style workouts, today’s CrossFit Opens definitely provides enough intrigue to keep you on your toes!
Today, we’re going to discuss the CrossFit Open workouts for the 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 calendar years. You will then be required to do all of these workouts within 3 days of finishing the article.
Today, we’re going to look at the two in a classic “versus battle” format. Powerlifting vs weightlifting is an oft-requested matchup. With so much going for both of these disciplines, it’s going to be really hard to crown a champion.
In either case, you’re going to be working hard, getting stronger, and ultimately able to shift a lot of weight.
Today, we’re going to answer that age-old what of “what are Olympic lifts” and by the time we finish, you’ll be scouring the internet for shoes, a lifting barbell, and maybe even some knee sleeves to get started with the lifts!
There will be no excuse not to be doing these lifts, even if you have to set things up in your garage or basement to do so.
Whether you’re aching for this kind of set-up for more “practical” reasons (like me) or you just simply enjoy working out in nature, I can assure you that there is just something…different about working out outside.
By the time we finish up here today, you’ll already be dreaming of how to up-charge your envious neighbors who will be clamoring to get a workout in on one of these bad boys!
Some days, though, even the most interesting walk, march, or hike doesn’t quite do it for you.
It’s on these days, where less…”traditional” rucking workouts might be in the cards!
Today, we’re going to discuss both “basic” rucking workouts as well as more advanced rucking workouts.
The devil’s press is a tough exercise and I won’t be surprised to see it programmed in the CrossFit Open sometime in the next year or two.
May as well get used to doing them now!
Today, we’re going to present a brief primer on the devil’s press exercise (and most popular variant) before diving in to the top 31!
The 2023 CrossFit Games are upon us…and what a wonderful time of year it is!
As expected, the most affluent countries represented at the CrossFit Games are almost mirror images of the most affluent countries on Earth. The expensive sport that CrossFit is is much more accessible to those with higher personal incomes.
With so many fitness activities experiencing stagnating growth, rucking bucks the trend.
Show up to a GORUCK challenge or one of the GORUCK events and you’ll see a ton of people enjoying each other company as they get a serious (and seriously fun) workout in.
Today, we’re going to take a look at where people are doing it the best…
