"For it is only by exercising with heavy weights that any man can hope to develop really great strength. He should of course combine these exercises with skipping, running, jumping, and gymnastics of every description in order to similarly develop his activity and agility, but, unless he sedulously carries out the barbell and dumbell exercises as well, he can never acquire really great physical powers."
-George Hackenschmidt

Post total score from all three efforts in comments. E.G., 21+16+19=56.

There are three variations to our “wall ball” family of exercises. The first, or “original”, familiar to all our regulars, is basically a front squat/push press combo that launches the ball towards the target. This move begins and ends in a squat. The second, or “overhead” throw is an overhead whole body throw. It begins with a powerful whole body arch sending the ball behind the head with the back and hips hyperextending, then the athlete hurls the ball forward and overhead towards the target. The third exercise, or “backwards” throw, is a reverse whole body throw in which the athlete turns his back to the target and drives the ball overhead and backwards towards the target.

Complete 5 rounds of:
Run 400 meters
15 “L” Pull-ups

“L” Pull-ups require that the legs be straight and heels remain above lowest point of butt through entire range of pull-up. Reps where heels sink below butt, or legs bend, even momentarily, don’t count.

Complete 7 rounds:
Walking lunge 100 ft.

Final score is pull-up total divided by time to completion for all 7 rounds. E.G. 28+20+16+13+10+9+7=103 pull-ups & 21:43=1303 seconds. 103/1303=. 079

The CrossFit concept can be viewed as “functional atomism” in that we strive to reduce human performance to a limited number of movements that are simple, irreducible, indivisible functions.

Teaching an athlete to run, jump, throw, punch, squat, lunge, push, pull, and climb powerfully, with mechanical efficiency and soundness, across a broad range of time-intensity protocols with rapid recovery establishes a foundation that will give unprecedented advantage in learning new sports, mastering existent skills, and surviving unforeseeable challenges.
