Our Grandfathers trained in real functional fitness in the 1940's when the term was first coined and not the watered down version peddled by the so called fitness trainers in your local gym. They did proper pullups, dips, muscle ups, rope climbs scailing obstacles, jumping ditches, lifting odd objects, running and carrying all manner of objects. Whats more they didn't do it in some comfy gym and they did it out doors in all weathers. In Hobnailed Boots and tin hats, not clad in lycra and the latest £150 trainers.
So it seems that our grandfathers were doing cross fit before it was invented.
This is what Old Skool Conditioning Training is all about, turning the clock back in our fitness training to a time when fitness training was about making you fit and not just looking fit. Don't just take my word for it, take a look around next time you go to the gym and see if anyone is actually breaking a sweat? How many people are all doing the same workouts that have no bearing on physical functionality outside of the gym?
This is why Old Skool Conditioning Training has left the constraints of the modern gym behind and strives to develop real functional fitness and strength with good old fashioned exercises, principles and drills using body weight, irregular weighted or shaped objects and training the body the way it is designed to be used in the real world. So if on reflection you don't feel that your fitness and strength measures up in real terms to that of your grandfather, then it is about time you that you went Old Skool.
