Kind of following on from Rob's thread on conditioning.
Powerlifting fundamentally is a skill based pursuit based on the expression of maximal strength, which often combines power training with bodybuilding.
Crossfit is probably the most efficient activity for creating a solid fitness base that can be generally carried over into almost other physical pursuit.
Can the two co-exist? Can we combine the two modalities?
Being stronger for crossfit is never a bad thing, being fitter for powerlifting also never a bad thing.
Yeah i struggle buying into that kipping shit. Haha. But i guess its a cardio based manouvre in that instance, rather than a strength exercise, as i do note that they also use the strict variation in thier programming.
Thats a good one i reckon.Could be done every time we have a deload week after retesting the big 3 or 4 lifts. Either one or both of thise WODS make great benchmark tests.
Originally crossfit was focused on doing a limited amount of exercises moving from one to the next very quickly
squats
deads
high pulls
chins
farmers walks
dips
turkish get ups and so on...
metabolic conditioning was the goal the term originally came from Arthur Jones in the mid 70’s
the differences were the execution of the movements and the safety of the environment.
to make more money Crossfit became a sport and that’s were it went downhill fast

It kind of is like how i train atm, i do massive giants sets but i have to stop for 30-60 seconds sometimes to catch my breath until i have enough oxygen that i can mentally do the next exercise. Still new to me all this type of training, but so far so good! Gone are my days of splits, i'm almost certain.
