    What’s your Fran time?

    @asphaltpotato Do I get a prize for being the slowest to comment so far?! 🤣 I’ve actually only done it once and that was a 7:01 last year…. 42 year old guy weighing 76kg (168lbs) and 180cm tall. Getting in to that pain cave and grinding stuff out even when your body is telling you no is my...

    Andrew Hiller Open Ban?

    @smithbell81 I find it an interesting one on a number of levels. In this day and age it absolutely wouldn’t be the strangest thing in the world for someone to say something purely for clout without it actually being true. It’s entirely possible that everything Hiller has said thus far about...

    CrossFit Quarterfinals Weekend Thread

    @jonjones229 Pretty savage looking workouts for sure! V-ups is an odd one that’s gonna cause all sorts of no-rep / judging issues. Crossovers is going to be another shit show. Chest to wall handstand push-ups as well….. jeeeeeez!

    2023 Open Goals - Met or Nah?

    @thespeedboy My goal was all three workouts at RX level which would be a first for me in the open. So far so good….

    Vellner not holding back on Event 6/7 programming

    @anonymous258 I enjoyed his comments about Fikowski using the giant bollards to his advantage - I noticed that at the time, more so in the female heats - I think it was Horvath who was doing it each and every time she passed one and I’m sure it took folk out several times. A little bit naughty...

    23.1 women’s barbells misloaded

    @budalazena Schoolboy error stuff for sure. But for me it’s at least more of a calamity than it is a controversy. Maybe the girls who took part won’t see it that way mind you!

    Disappointed with my 24.1 result

    @damj It’s a workout that’s gonna be a test of how much you’re willing to hurt and how well you can resist stopping when it hurts. That’s always a stumbling block for me and watching it back now I took a full 30seconds rest between the round of 21’s and the round of 15’s - that’s the stuff you...

    Why is 60 minutes classes the standard? 90 minutes classes would be much more efficient

    @bldssphq I mean, the whole point of CrossFit is kinda based around the high intensity aspect of it meaning you get more of a workout in a shorter window of time… 60 minute classes are plenty enough for average Joe. For those serious about it, you’ll find they out in extra time on top of that...

    Can someone explain RX v scaled scoring?

    @john6574 There is something a bit flawed in the fact someone could row 300m, not even touch a barbell and end their workout after 1 minute…. Submit their score as 30 reps RX and immediately outscore every person who scaled. But it is what it is and it’s always been that way. If you care...

    Top scoring speed ropes used in CrossFit Open workout 24.2

    @ashere Haha have tried switching off and on again, disconnecting and re-pairing but alas, I’m still awful at dubs 🤣

    Top scoring speed ropes used in CrossFit Open workout 24.2

    @ashere I have an RPM rope. Can confirm that I did NOT do 500+ dubs in my workout with said rope.

    Mal O’ Brien

    @dylan511 I think that event 4 is really going to be her statement of intent. The potential is there, but she still needs to grow in to the role a lot. However good that event win was, she’s got a long road ahead of her if she’s going to de-throne Tia. Insanely impressed with her in that...

    Initial 24.3 percentages BTWB (and percentages to shoot for, for quarterfinals)

    @biblicalselfdefense Yup, I’d imagine there will be a notable jump in the number of folk taking in this one as scaled over the previous 2, then you have folk who do it RX, but are gonna stumble getting through the C2B, then you’re gonna have another heap who are going to struggle with that...

    Initial 24.3 percentages BTWB (and percentages to shoot for, for quarterfinals)

    @talkingbunny 4 muscle ups just to make 50th percentile? Yikes! That’s a lot more reps than I was expecting!
