    @reneesinz45 Adidas lost over a billion dollars and you're trying to spin it. Must be some powerful KoolAid.

    Northern Spirit named title sponsor for semi finals + CF games for masters/teenage/adaptive divisions

    @reneesinz45 False. Adidas paid $3.8 billion for Reebok in 2006. They sold it in 2021 for $2.6 billion. The Reebok brand lost over $100million of value per year that they were attached to CrossFit, in addition to the $100M+ they spent on marketing, which obviously didn't work. If we adjust...

    Northern Spirit named title sponsor for semi finals + CF games for masters/teenage/adaptive divisions

    @grace4nan Reebok had recently lost the NFL and their NHL deal was not renewed. If I recall correctly it expired in 2012 but Reebok knew it wouldn't be renewed. Reebok correctly identified CF as a rapidly expanding opportunity, but failed to plan for how stupid Greg really was and how Greg...

    Northern Spirit named title sponsor for semi finals + CF games for masters/teenage/adaptive divisions

    @rob3rt hey I applaud anyone who throws their hat in the ring. I think the Games in Texas are sponsored by Steve's Porta-Potty Deliveries, Inc.

    Steroid Users Forever Have an Advantage

    @caleb_m These are serious users, not people who "tried a cycle." Any dosage info? I just got here 12 days ago ;) but my guess is that the mechanism of action is not hormonal per se, rather just increased tolerance to intense training. Again though just a guess from a noob.

    Intensity/ Power to be calculated across a SET v/s the ENTIRE WOD

    @neowatchman if the definition of fitness is made up everything which follows is made up it's just exercise. a fun stye of exercise. every other claim to legitimacy or superiority is bogus.

    @sharzid You're saying the cure for CrossFit burnout is to do more CrossFit?

    Intensity/ Power to be calculated across a SET v/s the ENTIRE WOD

    @youfixallimnot So, this sort of thing happens occasionally. Some nerd does CF and starts trying to analyze / quantify CF. They read the original CF explanations and definitions and maybe even get a L1. Energetics, intensity, power, all the shit they learned in school and finally a real...

    @ispain Indeed. The Carson Games were awesome. I've only ever been a spectator in Madison. It's cool. But CA was better.

    @ispain I've met Mat starting back in 2015 when we both competed in the Games and saw him pretty often for years. (I'm a 2x Games team athlete). He's a wee short man, tiny little fella, height wise. Now he's small.

    @123lx agreed they'll just go back to the ranch and athletes will compete for Michelob Ultra.

    @eeyore5 Mat looks so small since he stopped competing. Weird, since he still exercises a lot.

    @davidnando2 prize money comes from NoBull. So without MoBull, there wouldn't be any games. That's probably why.

    CrossFit burnout?

    @nhla2 yeah - agree. take a break. Do other stuff. I've become a garage gym all-star. I lift and row, maybe do some calisthenics. I put in WORK on the parallettes. L-sit for weeks. I'm nowhere near as fit as a I was as when I was a (team) Games athlete, but who gives a shit how many muscle...
