This list of CrossFit exercises is always growing! If you notice a CrossFit exercise is missing from this list, make sure to let me know and I'll update it.

Actually I'm pretty sure most of those are just normal exercises that crossfit has decided to include rather than "crossfit specific" exercises.

If anybody tells me that bench press is a "crossfit exercise" I'll punch them in the face.

Bloody thieves

Going by that list we are all crossfitters now?

We were crossfitters all along....

All these cool exercises I've never heard of. Those crossfitters are an inventive lot.

Don't forget kipping... it's revolutionised the way people injure themselves
