Seems like there are a lot of crossfit guys on here, and it seems like the gold standard for grappling conditioning.  On the other hand, I just can't afford $150+/month for crossfit plus BJJ gym membership, and choosing between those two is pretty easy.  As such, I've started lifting the WOD's from my local crossfit gym's website, and doing them at my gym (I call it 'ghetto crossfit').  The obvious weekness to this is that I miss out on the coaching and crossfit atomosphere.  I think I can mitigate the form issue to a certain degree since I've been lifting since 7th grade and am comfortable with cleans/DL's/Squats, etc, and while I'm sure I can't push myself quite as hard as I'd go in crossfit, I think I can force myself to give a pretty good effort (a solid B if I had to guess).

Ok, you guys have heard my shpiel.  Anything I'm missing?  I know there crossfit coaches on here, so I'd actually appreciate it if you responded with 'You're a f-ing idiot and here's why...'.

It's true that one of the benefits of CrossFit is the supportive environment and having people push you, but you don't need a gym to do your strength and conditioning work. Find a friend to cheer you on if you need that support.

Here's a list of body weight workouts:

That "Thug Workout" is actually a really good idea. Here's John Berardi's article on the Playground Workout, complete with a bunch of videos.

I do about half of my conditioning workouts at home. I have a couple of medicine balls, a yoga mat, a pullup bar installed in a doorway, a 25 lb kettlebell, and a 35 lb kettlebell. That's more than enough. I also do sprints in my alleyway.

Thanks trianglegrrl.  About to post another related post,so would certainly appreciate any advice on it if you have it.
