Coffee and CrossFit

Coffee and Crossfit go hand in hand, from plain old drip coffee to the infamous “bulletproof” brew popular with the Paleo crowd. Why is coffee so popular? There are many reasons, not the least of which is that coffee—thanks to its caffeine content–can have a positive effect on your performance.

Caffeine does more than let you work harder, faster, and longer. It also improves your focus and accuracy, an important component of Crossfit. It also helps burn fat. Not only does it encourage your body to use fat—rather than glycogen—as an energy source, it boosts your metabolism so you burn more calories throughout the rest of the day.

Caffeine can also reduce pain, both during and after a workout. A 2007 study found that caffeine equivalent to 2-3 cups of coffee taken an hour before working out reduced the perception of pain during the workout and cut post-workout soreness by nearly half. Caffeine after a workout also has its benefits. Mixed with carbs, post-workout caffeine helps replenish muscle glycogen faster.

Taking all of this into account we are excited to inform you that CHALKBOX is working witn Corban Coffee on the perfect coffee blend for you .

We are launching CHALKBOX coffee on February 18th during the CF Open 23.1 which you can taste at the gym and purchase for home use. It will be a mix of Ethiopian and Brazilian coffee that gives you the best strong flavor a good coffee should have.
