Re: Crossfit Open 2016
The lack of bounce on those deadlifts would cause you many sadz. Though one could probably pull off something similar with a pair of rubber 45s (or gorilla 65s) and just add iron.

Re: The CrossFit Games Needs an Enemy
Hah, +1 for humor.
I don't think this will happen. CrossFit is unlike a lot of other sports where a very talented and arrogant athlete can "dominate" the field pretty consistently. The Games, and...

Retiring from Comp/Life After Peak Performance

Re: Heavy deadlift reps, TnG or no TnG?
Coaching in an affiliate with a bunch of beginner-intermediate athletes, we almost exclusively practice TnG style Deadlifts. 5RM mostly, 3RM occasionally. 1RM only on special occasions or if we have...

Re: 24 access
One of the rules in the affiliate agreement is a certified CF trainer must be present at all times on the floor (that people are working out at least, presumably). So, even if we can get past the big...

Re: competition debate
The question to me is really simple: are you/your gym culture about growing or about winning? Unfortunately many choose the latter, and even if at the end of the day it is an indefensible position,...

Re: Floor issue
You could also put some sort of non-messy filler in the gaps, like gravel, which is typically what is put down under concrete and above the base dirt layer to disperse the loading. Just gotta make it...

Re: Rig, Bumpers, and WODs on a basketball floor
