Workout Description

This is a simple method of building your own CrossFit WODs, or workouts. Everything is completely random, so you will never know what the challenge will be heading into the gym that day.

You will need a deck of cards, or a random number generator application. Here's how it works.

Flip over 5 cards, once for each of the exercise boxes below. Aces are ones, and face cards are "wild cards." For wild card exercises you can pick from that specific category which exercise you would like to perform.

If you have a random number generator, have it generate a number between one and twelve. If it generates an eleven or twelve, you get to pick a wild card exercise.

Here are the 5 exercise categories:

  • Category #1 - Resistance Training/Weightlifting
  • Category #2 - Metabolic Conditioning
  • Category #3Bodyweight/Gymnastics Pool A
  • Category #4 - Kettlebell/Equipment
  • Category #5 - Bodyweight/Gymnastics Pool B

Perform each circuit for a minimum of 5 rounds. You may also choose to draw a 6th card to determine the number of rounds, up to a maximum of 8-10.

Thank you so much Thomas! Took the playing cards choice! Solved the cathegory issue with the club that comes with the number and/or color. I also decided which kind of workout would I do depending of the first card that came out doing the same kind of table you did (Hard Stop, Tabata, AMRAP, ladder, etc.) Making obviously a diff. number of reps for each type of workout on your tables. Thank you!

Do you go through each category for one set and then cycle back? Or do you complete 5 sets of category 1 then 5 sets of category 2 etc.. in? Thanks!

Are you saying to only do this one day a week? What would be a good number of days to do it per week? Also, what does AMAP stand for it is on couple of the workouts?

AMAP stands for As Many As Possible. When we do cross fit for baseball we do it 3 days a week

When I first started I would only do 2-3 sets to get my body use to it now or when I was really sore I would just do 1 to loosen up and relax. Now I'm doing 3-4 sometimes 5 sets and do the 2 set as a "cool off" day.

There are plenty of videos on the site for most of the exercises listed on the programs that are featured. Here's a link: https://www.muscleandstrength.com/exercises

If there happens to be an exercise that isn't listed, a quick internet search should yield some video results.

Would there be anyway that we can put hyperlinks in this article? I don't want to waste my work-out time look these up. Especially since I have been searching this site for 15 minutes and cannot locate the "Bear Crawl" video.
