U.S. Army General Applies CrossFit to Prevent Injuries

November 17, 2014 by Russ Greene

He’s a three-star General. President Obama selected him as Secretary of Defense Hagel’s senior military advisor. The Abrams tank is named after his father. As a young soldier, his nickname was “the natural-born killer.” He has two brothers; both are generals. When the Iraqi insurgency exploded in Sadr City in 2004, Abrams commanded three thousand troops at the center of the fight, just as his dad Creighton Abrams commanded American soldiers in the Vietnam War. You could say Lieutenant General Robert Abrams has a […]

ACSM and NSCA: Do Push-ups Like a Girl

Zero to One is pragmatic, yet ideologically contrarian. Contrary to conventional economic theory, Thiel claims that “capitalism and competition are opposites.” Rather, the key to business is building a monopoly. And that […]

Ties Between Fitness and Leadership by Dr. Carol Himelhoch

November 3, 2014 by Russ Greene

Introduction by Russ Greene: Dr. Carol Himelhoch is a professor of Management at Siena Heights University who started CrossFit in 2006. She recently published a monograph that evaluated the relationship between physical fitness and leadership. The study used Fight Gone Bad scores to assess fitness level. These steps may seem obvious to CrossFitters, but they’re ground-breaking in academia. To my knowledge, no published academic study has used a CrossFit benchmark workout to evaluate fitness. Normally academic studies on CrossFit use CrossFit workouts as training, but they discard the WODs in […]
