How to Train a Superhero

Superheros are already pretty… super. But just like the rest of us they have strengths and weaknesses. We bet Spider-man can do muscle-ups all day, but he’d struggle beating The Hulk in an arm wrestle!

So we thought it’d be fun to put together a programming template for some of your favourite superheros. We’ve profiled them as we would for a Range of Motion Individualised Programming client, and then constructed their biased programming.

The program break-down is heavily biased towards improving their weaknesses, because, in the end, whether you’re trying to fight the bad guys, or do well in a local CrossFit competition, it’s your own personal Kryptonite that will be the deciding factor.

Do you have the bodyweight ninja abilities of Spider-Man? The engine of Captain America? The brute strength of The Hulk? Or maybe you’re a different CrossFit superhero? Take this quick quiz to find out which superhero your CrossFit abilities most closely match.
