I know there are many of you that may be asking yourself what the purpose of the olympic lifts in a General Physical Program.  After all we are not professional football players, or training to be power lifters, right?  Well your right about that but the benefits of performing and mastering the olympic lifts such as the dead lift, the clean and jerk, and the snatch do so much more than just work muscle.

Check out this article that lists and explains the many benefits of the olympic lifts.

Hero WOD’s

CrossFit is quickly becoming “the training” program for our Military, Law Enforcement and Fire Fighters. Since day one CrossFit has embraced our men and women in uniform and they have chosen to honor the Heroes who gave their lives to keep us and our country safe.

These CrossFit Hero WODs listed below are some of the most intense workout experiences that you could experience. They have been conceived and are intended to be performed with intense effort, in honor of our fallen Heroes. Don’t think to your self, I can’t do that or it looks to hard. Instead focus on what you can do, scale where needed, and think about the Hero that has given his all for our freedom. Honor these Hero’s with your best effort.
