John, Thanks for the site and CrossFit Football. I have been following the training on and off for the 2 years with great results. I recently tore my ACL while competing in MMA and know you have experience with rehabbing back to full strength. I know my doctor has a conservative timeline for recovery, can you a more aggressive one?...
Phil Simms was the number seven overall selection in the 1979 NFL Draft. He played his entire professional career with the NY Giants and was MVP of Super Bowl XXI. He finished his career with 33,462 passing yards and is now a broadcaster for CBS. Many of you know Phil for his Sunday job broadcasting the NFL, or being the "go to" QB on Tecmo Bowl. I choose, however, to remember Phil for his greatest work: "Phil Simms NFL Workout."...

John, I've been following CFFB for a nearly a month now and like the variety, the rest day mid week and mixed up work outs. I have increased in strength and put on a small amount of weight, & according to my good lady wife I also look better naked too!...
I received one recently, asking if I thought constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity was a solid programming philosophy. Yes, without a doubt...
And you have probably fallen behind in Black Ops skills. Remember, somewhere their is a 13 year old kid who has logged 14,000 hours on Black Ops and it was only released in November...
I have recently suffered a torn ACL injury; therefore I am unable to do full body workouts. I was wondering if you could help me get on the right track for an upper body workout while I am recovering from my injury. I do not want to get out of shape...
I find that this site is great for my Muay thai and MMA training! But what I would like to know is, would you suggest doing the WOD on the main crossfit site as well, or is that too taxing on the body? What about...
Hi, I am a former high performance rugby player who has noticed a steady decline in performance after being injured. In short I want to be back @ the top of my game and my training needs a kick in the ass...
