In CF circles, words like specialist and hypertrophy are dirty words. CrossFit Football, however, made it’s bones with myofibrillar hypertrophy, alactic power and short capacity. The program was never designed to be general and inclusive. Check the tag line, “Forging Powerful Athlete”...
The Healthy Baby Code is a program designed to promote fertility in couples wanting to conceive and aids in pregnancy nutrition. Since we are fortunate enough to follow many of the nutritional guidelines that Chris recommends, my focus has been on the nutritional recommendations for newborns. Those first months of life will set the tone for lifelong intelligence and health, and his guidance has been invaluable to my family...
Really? Legs too big? Are you serious? Have you not read anything I have posted on this site in the last two years? Personally, I think your problems much deeper if you are worried your legs are too big...
I just thought I'd send you a progress reports on one of my players. 2 years ago, this kid was a skinny freshman and came up to train with me during the spring. He couldn't do a push up or squat to save his life. Three years later, here he is as a junior...
First off, I would like to thank you for the great programming CFFB provides! I am a huge fan and have been following CrossFit Football programming with a buddy for over a year. I am a college baseball player with dreams of draft day but realize that I will need to make up for my lack of height with speed and power, but its the power part I am having trouble with...

Yesterday, we upset the #3 team in the nation in a nail biter...
Johnnie, as a future Games competitor, I wanted your opinion on how many days do you think I should do Crossfit Football. I train in a garage in Florida and I want to show the world, that although affiliates are GREAT, you can get it done in your garage WITH ONLY CROSSFIT PROGRAMMING. I currently follow main site but I want to get much stronger so I just want your opinion...
What is important about this is by using CF Football it allowed for better periodization, tapering and peaking for competition. No one can stay on the razors edge of fitness all year long. If Crossfit is your sport I think one of the ways to approach your year long training program is to use CFF as your strength base in the off season...
“There was a time, in the not-so-distant past, when every athlete who trained with weights sported an impressive set of traps. Bodybuilders had them; shot putters had them, and, of course, so did Olympic lifters. That’s because they all did lots of heavy pulling movements in their programs. Currently, the only group of strength athletes who show any trap development are Olympic lifters, and those taking part in a scholastic or collegiate strength program which includes the power clean and shrug..."
