Olympic shoes? They train barefoot. Belts? They stabilize their core. Clothes? If their mom's garage wasn't on a busy street they would train naked. Straps? Shit, they masturbate with a hook grip. Strength? Depends on who is asking. Condoms? They use a rattlesnake...
I realized many athletes become obsess over weight room numbers. They focus all their attention on their lifts, and forget that the game is played on the field. Rather than improving their skills and technique, their focus shifts towards becoming a weigh room warrior. They become more interested in a 10 lb PR, than increasing their skill...
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”...
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...
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...
I know that you're busy, but I've had a problem lately and i hoped maybe you could help. I'm a college freshman, and I’ve been following the CFFB program for several months now and have seen some spectacular gains. However, I took two weeks off to move to college and get used to my new routine...
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...
“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..."
Hey John, Thought it would be badass to have an article on setting up a cffb garage gym. Thanks for the suggestion. . I read your question and have been milling it over for a few weeks and agree there should be a simple easy set up guide for a garage gym...
I have recently become addicted to CrossFit Football but had a question pertaining to finding the right gym for the program. Ironically I can find plenty of gyms here in Phoenix, however, I am having a very difficult time finding a gym that works for CrossFit football. It just seems impossible to do it in your regular “globo gym.”...
