So, in our lack of organized group activity (boo...) and since completing my second cycle of Infinite Intensity (*RINGING ENDORSEMENT!*), I've been doing CrossFit pretty regularly. The visits from Pukie are frequent, but I like the intensity, variety, and all the new skills I'm (very slowly) developing. I do think some of those guys and gals over-imbibe their own Kool-Aid sometimes, but the research, methodology, and dedication to HARDCORE make it a pretty amazing "program" with undeniable results.
One complaint is that despite it claiming to be a regime requiring minimal equipment, good luck training the WODs as Rx'd without a barbell set, rings, rowing machine, etc. Yeah, you can scale and substitute, but we wanna train like the big boys & girls! Well, I just found this on the affiliate SEALFit site:
Now,"HARDCORE"is wholly insufficient in describing some of these workouts. Scaling and substituting are definitely necessary, but there are some killer ideas here that mostly require nothing more than a pull-up bar.
