@caleb_m totally agree the first workout was a mainsite that was programmed that day. I was speaking more to the first few workouts before the cuts, which in no way could be considered a "well-rounded" test of fitness prior to the cuts. programming for the games vs programming for gen pop are...

@caleb_m awh man yeah you're right! sorry I blacked that year out from memory because it was such a sham of a games :/ the first few events were mega biased against athletes like tim. IIRC Pat Vellner got cut too, and that dude is easily top 5 fittest. not a very balanced first few tests, if...

@rovella pretty sure he got cut after the first event.

@sherryanne you're welcome to pursue what makes your heart happy, but good luck maintaining a social life/relationship if you choose to pursue being a professional athlete. to be a games athlete, you have to focus 100% on it and have your entire life revolve around that goal. if it's worth it to...

@katshavens cost of travel in general to get to/stay in the area, add in it's memorial day weekend so prices are higher than usual, no one wanting to travel on memorial day weekend, general lack of interest in crossfit anymore on the west coast (this was the area it first started in so it's been...

@sadkitty i read it as they were speaking to the politics at HQ preventing athletes from doing GRID as an example of why not many may do hyrox. and I know for a fact that CF games athletes were told to not compete in GRID. no idea about hyrox- you're absolutely right recent athletes have been...

@mbahchidinma Remember when we used to speculate on if Nike would sponsor the Games when the Reebok contract ran out? my how far CF has fallen.

@sadkitty are you talking about grid or hyrox? because I was talking about grid, and james and sam are retired and ricky already is a "black sheep" and just kind of does what he wants. if it's hryox then yeah. sam would be a baddie at that.

@sadkitty Dave Castro told athletes they would be banned from competing at the CF games if they participated in GRID in about 2015 when GRID was taking off. that's why Mat and Annie stopped doing it, and it fell apart. Pretty sure Mat said this on a podcast - maybe brute strength or JRE? The...

@ofbrysonmen Industrious is a phenomenal gym in the Seattle area. Not affiliated but hands down probably one of the best gyms in the state in terms of equipment, coaching, and programming. We joke in WA state that CrossFit in Seattle is like Starbucks coffee - there's a box on every corner, and...

@anangiel Roman needs to learn how to pace long workouts and minimize fatigue/transition time. He has a good mentor (rich), but he needs more time to learn. He’s still an absolute monster, but it’s his kryptonite right now.

@firsthandsemiuniversalist That’s why I think most use prior to being on the radar and then once on, they either change their dosage or the type of drug used to something that’s easier to cycle or wouldn’t show up in a urine test.
