Comment on Crossfit for Rugby? by Toby

Your post is 100% regarding crossfit, but focuses in on some narrow negatives about he training philosophy. Certainly a rugby focused speed, power or endurance program might be better. Crossfit also does not focus on the larger literature on periodizaion. Having said that doing crossfit is better than doing nothing, a trap many recreational rugby players fall into. A 10×100 meter sprint session in isolation is a crap workout, but put into the larger functional context of crossfits variety of workouts including olympic lifting, power lifting, running and gymnasits–following a crossfit workout will get anyone at anylevel into rugby shape. The reality is most rugby is recreational players without the time for massive sprint/lifting cardio sessions you are prescribing, nor do the recreational players have the time to design their own workouts or the money to pay a trainer to design their workouts. Crossfit for all its warts works, it prescribes fast workouts that do get people fit. Some of the top rugby teams in the US adapt the crossfit prescription of variety with tremendous results.

Don’t slam without balancing all the benefits along with the limitations.
