The Reshaping of Competitive Crossfit

               

CrossFit is changing away from its “Games Focus.”

Regionals is going!

With 162 affiliates in as many countries.

CrossFit is not dying, in fact if it was a restaurant it would be the 6th largest in the world!

This is why a lot of the Media staff have been let go.

CrossFit paid $1 million in Brazil for only 2 Regional athletes.

The Open now in October 2019 for the 2020 Games

There will be 16 CrossFit sanctioned events where the winners get invited to compete at the CrossFit Games.

Games will now be in August.

This gives smaller countries a chance but only 1 male and 1 female and 1 Team from Countries like the USA, Canada and UK!

Bulletproofbodies & the Purpose of CrossFit

Today I was training with an ex-Commando buddy of mine who's now in the Police.

He invited me to a very nice David Lloyd Health Club.

The facility was amazing with more kit than I have seen in any gym for a long while.

I used to love these health clubs, but these days I just compare it to CrossFit.

So we went to the Olympic lifting platforms and started doing some lifting.

We went through some OLY basics then we moved onto some body weight exercises, followed by some kettle bell work.

I was surprised at how much mobility my friend had lost and how much I have gained.

The difference was simply CrossFit.

He started asking me about the the purpose of CrossFit, so I talked about High Intensity, Constantly Varied, Functional Movement and working out in a community rather than doing my own thing with head phones on.

But to really answer the question I needed a video of the man who revolutionised the Fitness Industry forever, Coach Greg Glassman:
