CrossFit & Canadian Forces Combat Fitness Program

[Anthony]

CrossFit HQ and Canadian Forces at Base Gagetown have developed an awesome website that covers a lot of the movements we see in CrossFit's WOD.

I was told this is available to the public and their goal is to overload the servers, so please check it out:

Canadian Forces Combat Fitness Program (http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/land_force_doctrine_training_system/ex_aita_trg/acim/courses/acim/acim.swf) (WFS)

There are 3 drop down menus at the bottom. Select "Combat Fitness Program" for the first drop down. Choose "Exercises" in the second drop down. And then select whatever exercise you want in the third drop down.

Enjoy!

Awesome stuff. Wish my computer was working properly so I could listen to the coaching cues.

Very nice site. I am going to start recommending this when people want to learn the proper way to do certain lifts.

i was lookin at the program and noticed that the lifts have an asterix beside them, is there a certain weight your supposed to do or just enough so you finish your reps

[Anthony]

I'm not sure what you mean ... what program?

[bigdaddykrull]

there is a 9 week program listed in that site, next to lifts like pushpress and deadlifts they list the reps but no weight, there is a asterix next to this lifts but no footnote, so I was wondering if there is a weight we are supposed to use or if its a personal choice

[KingWilder]

I'm pretty sure Anthony just posted that as a way to reference certain lifts to improve form/see how to do it

not sure what "program" you're talking about either

[bigdaddykrull]

using the tabs, select combat fitness program in the first, training programs in the second, and 9 week schedule in the third, click on the icon in the bottom left corner when it appears

[Anthony]

From the site:

Some of the exercises have an asterisk (*) beside them. The asterisk identifies those exercises that require attention when determining the appropriate load (weight) to be used. For less experienced people, it is strongly recommended that a lighter weight be used, as per the guidelines on scalability in Chapter 7.
