Hell yeah. CrossFit has a lot of haters but can't deny the level of fitness it brings, as long as its done safely. The methodology is solid.

[gdfxjfc]

CrossFit make’s a hell of a lot of sense to me being an ex Infantry( Airborne )soldier .
The old ethos ( train hard, fight easy )

[Ironmike]

I never thought about CrossFit that much cause I’m kinda old fashioned about fitness. But as a Marine and a BJJ fighter I can see it now. Wish it didn’t take this long to figure that out

[mr.g]

Never knew how long Jocko has been supporting crossfit. Makes me want to do this on top of my BJJ

[Rufio]

Exactly what he said and exactly why I kept working out after the military. So I could keep up with my kids which were very active

You are Johnny on the

Did it for a year 3 times a week back in 2018 it wasn’t for me.

Bought myself a squat rack. I just power lift during the week and go for runs on Saturdays, that’s it.

CrossFit has finally seemingly realized the importance of low intensity steady state cardio and the unique adaptations it gives. As well as periodization

[ElliotBrownJingles]

This stuff is awesome. If you could combine this with a Renaissance Man approach to learning things then you would be an unstoppable force, able to adapt to any situation. You would become Napoleon.

[MrSecretAgentMan]

Did CrossFit for years. An example of what is wrong with CrossFit is having people who have no business doing a snatch in the first place do them for time in a workout. I’m talking about people who just started exercising at 35-40 years old who don’t have the strength, mobility or coordination to do 1 snatch correctly, doing 30 of them in 10 minutes. Absolute bonehead programming.

That’s just one example I saw with my own two eyes. Way too much is dependent on whoever programs at the individual box. All are hit or miss.

Love. AA Shirt on Dave 82nd Airborne, I wore. That patch

[jenx]

I'm going to stick with the paratrooper. It's a good way to stay healthy. Intensity versus Longevity. It's very strenuous on your joints and bones.

[Esnara]

Nobody is storming the beach or taking the hill in regular life. I’d love to see you come to a family dairy farm, get up, get the day rolling by getting the heard into the parlor to milk, then clean all the barns, then feed all them, then work the fields, the milk again, then go bale hay all evening, then get up every day that week and keep doing it like that continuously. But yeah man CrossFit sounds really cool. Hahaha

[Ice-Fall]

The idea of CrossFit, or any type of training, is to be stronger, both mentally and physically than your JOB!

[kentandersson]

Hahaha. 😂 Jocko e min Guru. Tack Jocko! You are doing so well helping us men

[RodneyNicotine]

As a bodybuilder I've always shit on and made fun of CrossFit but as I've become more interested in peak physical performance and being able to operate at a high level I'm getting more open to the idea of it and thinking about trying it.

[keenanschouten]

By that logic, Jocko should add breeching charges with no hearing protection to CrossFit games. The intelligent thing to do is to separate skills which must be practiced from the physiological adaptation you wish to specialize in.

Everybody is living in their own movie these days.

[livingdeadgirl]

Dead yet? No okay *goes back to waiting

[kobusvandenbrink]

Crossfit is great! Crossfit gyms are ridiculous though, all i want is to train alone in their gym a couple times a week but nope there is no solo training it’s all about their “community” and doing it in teams and have competitions, I’m not looking for that, just want to ride that assault bike and use their pull up bar for a few hours a week but they won’t let me.
