The CrossFit Program

The complete box-athlete protocol — the recovery foundation that survives daily WODs, the engine-and-chassis layer for capacity and connective tissue, and the full competitor build.

CrossFit breaks people in a very specific pattern: shoulders and elbows from high-rep gymnastics, knees and back from heavy volume, and an engine that's asked to redline five days a week on six hours of sleep. The sport IS the recovery problem — so this program is built like the training: general physical preparedness for your biology. Foundation, engine-and-chassis layer, full competitor build.

The Foundation — everyone starts here

• BPC-157 + TB-500 (blend) — 500 mcg daily. Daily WODs mean daily micro-damage to the same tissue; this is the systemic repair floor under all of it.
• CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin (blend) — 200 mcg pre-bed, fasted. The overnight rebuild pulse — the adaptation between today's WOD and tomorrow's.
• NAD+ — 100 mg daily. Glycolytic training is an energy furnace; this is the cellular floor that keeps quality high through a brutal training week.

The Engine & Chassis Layer

• MOTS-c — 2.5 mg, 3× weekly. The engine leg: insulin sensitivity, metabolic flexibility, and endurance — the difference in the third round of a 20-minute AMRAP.
• GHK-Cu — 1.5 mg daily, 5 on / 2 off. The connective-tissue quality leg — hands, pulling skin, and the collagen everything high-rep depends on.
• DSIP — 200 mcg pre-bed. The 5:30 a.m. class and real recovery are enemies; this defends the deep-sleep window that every other compound here pays into.

The Competitor Build

• Thymosin Alpha-1 — 1.6 mg, 2× weekly. The box plague before the Open is as predictable as the leaderboard; the immune-resilience layer for high-volume blocks.
• AOD-9604 — 400 mcg fasted mornings. Body-comp support without appetite suppression — power-to-weight without training flat.
• Semax — 300 mcg mornings. Skill work, judging standards, and pacing math under fatigue — the focus leg.
• Glutathione — 400 mg, 3× weekly. The oxidative exhaust system for a sport that generates more of it than almost any other.

The full program at a glance

Run the foundation year-round; run the full build through a competition prep or your hardest 8–12 week block. The Supply Builder turns this table into your exact order.

Competing at sanctioned events? The CrossFit Games ecosystem drug-tests, and several compounds here are prohibited in tested sport at all times — read If You Compete before touching anything.

For the women of the box

CrossFit's women train identically and this program runs identically — Standard tier is the published mid-range, and the Women's Athlete Program is the purpose-built counterpart with the female-athlete specifics (cycle, RED-S awareness, skin).

Research protocols, not a prescription — talk to a physician before touching anything.
