True, but they did Gym Jones-style workouts 5 days a week. The 300 was a test, but the other workouts were similar.
After skimming through the workouts, the other workouts weren't too similar. Start from about September 15, 2005 and keep going until mid-December. While certain WODs were fashioned to what each individual may have needed improvement on, so it was more punish the bulky bodybuilder type, condition the underconditioned, and make better the skinny bean-pole. From what I have been exposed to, the same thing has happened at certain CrossFit gyms as far as certain individual WODs.
"the other workouts weren't too similar."
They were more similar than walking on a treadmill and doing 37 variations of cable curls.
