While you wait

Open this when you have a minute. You get one small idea, two questions, and then the answer. Nothing is scored.

  • Movement. One standard, such as squat depth or how a jerk is caught. A link opens the demonstration on CrossFit’s site.
  • Methodology. One training rule, such as what intensity means or how to scale a workout without changing what it is for.
  • Benchmark. One named workout: how it is scored, how long it should take, and the first thing to change.

  • Named workouts are the Girls, a set of Heroes, and other benchmarks, including Fran, Cindy, DT, and Murph.
  • Movement cards link to the essentials pages on crossfit.com. Those clips stay on their site.
