What’s the most ‘pure’ or ‘OG’ CrossFit program you know of?

@ahunbleservant I started in 2007 at CrossFit One World. Freddy C did the programming and it evolved into such a great system. If you can find his old typepad website you’ll see some great workouts.

@straywolf73 Freddy’s “RX Checklist” is still one of the best ways to gauge if you’re good at CrossFit.

@caleb_m Happen to have a copy saved somewhere? It doesn't appear to be on the interwebs anymore.

 

[caleb_m]

@tomahawk777 It’s the second Google result.

@caleb_m Thanks, for some reason it wasn't coming up for me!

@caleb_m Loved this list!! Never heard of it before.
Interesting to note the rebounding box jumps

@ahunbleservant Linchpin is about as OG as it gets. Then you’ve also got folks like complain, invictus, mayhem, and Misfit. They’ve all been around forever too. There’s probably others.

@nineteenkilo I’ve been using Invictus since June last year and love it.

@ahunbleservant Did CrossFit for about 6yrs. Linchpin was the programming I thought was closest to "OG" status. I mean, Pat is an "OG" so it makes sense. Great online community as well. I miss that part about the most.

 

[ahunbleservant]

@deecruz Yeah I’m thinking this might be the most appropriate example. What do you do now instead of “CrossFit”?

 

[deecruz]

@ahunbleservant Just regular ol' commercial gym stuff. It's actually at a physical therapy center. I have gravitated to using the machines more than free weights with the exception of some bench & squat. I'd still do Linchpin if I was physically able.

@ahunbleservant Jumpshiptraining - Seth has been programming since ~2008, was the sole programmer for Misfits back in the day and sticks to the CF methodology

Similarly I would put Sentinel Training from Taylor Self under the “pure crossfit” umbrella. Super nerd on the original CF methodology.

@gbtinyclaire Pedro did recently great podcast with him!

 

[ahunbleservant]

@gbtinyclaire I’ve only become aware of both of these programs recently. Haven’t seen much from jump ship but Taylor has been great on the sevan open announcements

 

[jackiegat]

@gbtinyclaire Sentinel Training is great!!

@ahunbleservant There were a few classic programs from a ways back. I’m not sure what you can still find on them but crossfit football was a thing. I think it morphed into power athlete…something. I know you can find the program if you search. OPT Big Dogs was pretty popular for a bit I would say it was one of the more intelligent programs but maybe not great for an affiliate. There was Outlaw but that was also geared towards the competitive athlete. NCFit was (is?) Khalipa’s programming. I did that for a while and really liked it. If you can find the early days of Crossfit New England, that’s what comptrain was based off of and was pretty classic crossfit in the era of about 2010-2014.

@farmerdex Maaaan CrossFit football was my jam for a while, a little obsessed with kettlebells though if I remember correctly

 

[fmfl247]

@farmerdex I had a totally different experience with NCFit - I just found it to be incredibly boring. I think my box used it because it was one of the cheaper options but thankfully they only ran it for about a year

 

[matthew514]

@fmfl247 You don’t like doing box jumps every other day

 

[ahunbleservant]

@farmerdex I knew of CrossFit football - and I’m considering playing rugby this year so to know where those workouts are stored would be helpful
