Crossfit Training, 6 Tips For Better Results

Crossfit training is a very interesting alternative to getting in shape. However, it is important to seek conditions to improve the results. See how in this article.

A different proposal, which mixes physical preparation for sports, Olympic weightlifting and other aspects, this is what Crossfit brings.

However, like any modality, there are ways to improve training results and be more successful.

With that, Crossfit training can be better, safer and much more effective for your goal, if you follow these 6 tips that I will show you next.

Crossfit is a training modality that involves a lot of controversy.

You see, saying that there are dangers and that certain people should not use it does not mean that it is not viable for you.

Respecting its limitations, with a process of progression and loads, it is possible to be quite successful.

10 Days to improve your Training Results!

1- Slowly and always

Constancy is key at Crossfit. Unlike what happens in bodybuilding, for example, which is more focused on segments and not on highly complex movements, Crossfit has a multitude of exercises that require a lot of motor coordination.

Add that to your high repetitions, exercises with increasing load and a high metabolic and tension load, we have a process that needs to be constant and progressive.

2- Work with basic movements

This is a rule that, in general, is well respected at Crossfit. But it never hurts to stress.

Your Wods (daily Crossfit workouts) need to be focused initially on basic movements.

After these movements have been well worked out, we should move on to more complex movements.

For example, we use a lot of Olympic weightlifting movements at Crossfit.

3- Understand your real goals

Crossfit is very good for a number of purposes. However, it is less efficient for others. So it is important to have this very clear in your training.

Is it the most efficient training method for hypertrophy? Overall, no. Is it good for obese people? Not because of the complexity of the movements, no.

However, for those looking for dynamic activity, wide and functional movements, it is a very interesting modality.

4- Take care with muscle recovery

Unlike what happens in bodybuilding, where we have a workout that in general is divided by segment, in Crossfit, we usually have general training.

This means that certain muscles continue to be required in virtually all workouts. This creates a problem, in terms of muscle regeneration.

5- First technique, then load

This is a very important point and I will mention it again. First of all, worry about learning a movement, be safe in its execution, and only then, use cargo. But I’m really talking about low loads.

First learn the movement, then use weight. This has to be a rule for your Crossfit workout.

However, I know that there are movements that are more difficult.

6- Set a weekly frequency and follow it

One of the biggest problems that many people have when doing Crossfit, is the lack of constancy in training.

As happens in bodybuilding , in functional training , Pilates or any other mode, keep patience, for a long period of time is critical. There is no point in doing your Crossfit training, just around the summer.
