I've been doin crossfit for about a month now and was wondering if anyone else here is doing/has done this workout program.

If you haven't heard of it check out http://www.crossfit.com
they post a workout every day on the main page. the site is completely free.

i've started doing the workouts as posted but your allowed to scale them as needed. there's even a link to a website that has scaled down versions of the workouts.

The strength teacher at my school is absolutely obsessed with that site. He mentions it about every day, even in my trends in health class!

We do a lot of stuff like that in my gymnastics class and I think it's awesome. A lot of their stuff is great for pole vaulters.

ya. i like it and can def see the benefit to us polevaulters.

only thing i don't like is there isn't very much short distance sprint work. the shortest sprints i've seen so far have been 400's

anyone have any ideas for a post workout/pre season sprint workout to complement this program?
