FAQs

Why was this program created?

​

A lot can be said for the actual functional fitness necessities of some specific movements found within CrossFit. Although health has always been the prime driver behind the CrossFit methodology, the CF Games may have taken the effective measurement on testing the 'Fittest on Earth' to an area that might challenge authenticity. It could be argued that selecting out (removing) certain movements would offer more validity in finding the fittest. This program aims to bridge the need of ‘quality’ with the demand of ‘beneficial’ and give athletes a highly competitive program without the increased need to learn advanced skills and to minimise the potential risk of injury. Rx Masters athletes absolutely compete and they are ready to compete in just about anything.

​

What does the program look like?

​

The program will generally be scheduled for a 3/1 & 2/1 training split on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, with an optional active recovery day on Thursday (normally a low impact session or swimming). Each session will take around 60-75 minutes to complete depending on how much the athlete wants to squeeze the recovery time between elements.

Each session includes a number of elements to develop strength, conditioning and some form of accessory, skill or core work.

Programming will be published on Sunday night for the first 4 days of the week (Mon, Tue, Wed & Thu) and then again on Thursday night for the remaining 2 days (Fri & Sat). Sunday is a rest day. Athletes will only be able to see a maximum of 3-days forward (to avoid too much workout 'selecting').

​

What movement experience and skill level is required?

​

Rx Masters is a program designed for a number of athletes, including:

• Military and Emergency Services athletes who need to remain operational fit all year round.

• Hyrox and Assault Course competitors who understand that strength and conditioning are both needed.

• Those athletes that just want a decent S&C style program that can be completed in one daily training session.

​

Therefore the program consists of various movements, including (but not limited to):

• Clean / Press / Deadlift / Squat / Thruster

• Pull Ups  / Push Ups / Burpees / Box Jumps

• Rope Climbs / Carries / Holds / Sled Push

• Rowing / Cycling / Running

Of course all movements can be scaled and a workout description will contain recommendations for alternative approaches to get the same or similar adaptation from specific elements.

​

What equipment will I need?

​

Rx Masters is designed to be completed in just about any gym setting and even most garage gyms. Equipment needed would be as follows (but not limited to):

​

• Barbell / Plates / Squat Rack / Pull Up Bar

• KBs (Various Loads) / DBs (Various Loads)

• Plyo Box / Sandbag or Pack 20-45lb (10-20kg) / Sled

• Cones / Climbing Rope / Resistance Bands

• Bike / Rower / Skierg

​

What's the difference between Rx Athletes and Rx Masters?

​

Rx Athletes is intentionally designed for athletes who want to start competing in CrossFit. This involves developing strength, developing a strong engine and practicing a lot of the specific skills only found within CrossFit competitions.. Rx Masters is more suited to athletes that want to reap all the benefits from a CrossFit style competition program but without all the complex lifting and advanced skill work (of which is only found in CF Competitions). Therefore, Rx Masters athletes can still get all the benefits of building strength, developing a powerful engine, but skip all the other stuff that may not necessarily be essential for achieving 'real fitness'.

​

What should I do if this program is too easy?

​

If you're getting through the program and finding you need a little more, try adding just a single element to the backend of your sessions, like targeting a weakness or working on a specific skill. Lastly, you could always finish off the session by completing the daily WOD on those days you're feeling particularly energised.

​

What should I do if this program is too difficult?

​

If you're struggling to get through each session, maybe consider moving to a 3-day program, focusing on the elements where you need the most work. Or try reducing some of the volume by lowering reps and dropping a couple of sets during the strength elements. But remember every program takes a little time at the beginning to build some resistance in the body to handle the workload. The most important thing is to stick with it and build a consistent routine.
