BREAKING: CrossFit HQ just announced they are removing warm-ups from all affiliate programming effective immediately.
The reasoning?
“Warm-ups are creating artificial preparedness and masking real movement deficiencies. Athletes should adapt in real time.”
Going forward:
- Class starts → 3, 2, 1… go
- First 5 minutes of the workout = your warm-up
- Scaling is now “figure it out mid-WOD”
Honestly… I don’t hate it.
Thoughts?
Jkjk. April fools :) But honestly, how many of you coaches do this when you workout?! I know I’m guilty 🤣
