Why don’t you just join an actual crossfit gym that knows what they’re doing, or get coached by someone who knows how to train for crossfit competitions? With those lifts you have some good potential so you might as well train for the actual thing and maybe start competing.[/quote]
I get what you’re saying and I agree, however i’m pretty strapped for cash right now because 1) I am doing my masters in a different city so I’d rather not be bound to a specific box location and 2) I am getting married this August and we have about 400 guests minimum sooooo cash money my friend…
But I will definitely take up on your suggestion the moment I have a stable economy. Just for a comparison, the standard price for a year long membership in any of the major crossfit affiliates is 2300 US dollars here in Sweden, and that is what you pay directly up front.[/quote]
In that case I’d look online for how these guys train for the competitions (since I’m sure they don’t just do the WOD and actually have a reasonable structured program). Just make sure that the info you find is legit. I’d help you out with that if I could but I don’t know much about crossfit.

Yup, that’s really what I have been doing all along, doing some research on how the top 10 guys do it but most of them really down-play how they actually train, saying stuff like how everything is programmed on a day-to-day basis with no actual structure. On the nutrition side most of them really just eat the basics with some cheat foods here and there to cover their massive energy expenditures. I think the majority do 2-4 WODs per day with skill training on the olympic lifts intertwined and then the occasional squat/strength cycle from time to time.
Thanks again buddy, I really appreciate just having you write on this thread to be honest. How is your training going? You really look impressive if thats you on your avatar=)
