Anyone have info or experience on this?

Link to their site

Someone I follow on twitter posted this link in response to another poster talking about everything that’s wrong with CrossFit.

Said it’s a combo of Rippetoe and “functional” training.

jones was a world class climber and GJ mainly was focused around that and very short burst of crazy endurance.

it was more the original crossfit and one of the ideas that glassman stole when he started CF.

its not rip + functional training....its more progressivly planned crossfit.. way too much for the normal person.

When the movie 300 came out, Glassman's rants against Mark Twight were epic.

Glassman believes Twight stole the Crossfit methodology to train the guys for 300.

I discovered Crossfit after watching the movie, and trying to find out how the actors trained.

This (Wayback Machine) is a pretty good article by Twight on how he trained the actors and held them accountable.

Twight also trained Henry Cavill for his Superman role.
