    How Should Crossfit Balance Its Two Competing Cultures?

    @christhasrisen2000 Delete the games. It’s really that easy, but vanity is a thing and the loudest CrossFitters are those who think it’s more than exercise

    How Should Crossfit Balance Its Two Competing Cultures?

    @meadowgold Because this isn’t really a thing. The crowd at your box looks like the people in your neighborhood, because that’s who goes there.

    @christhasrisen2000 My solution to the issue is to delete the games I don’t even understand how there’s a debate

    How Should Crossfit Balance Its Two Competing Cultures?

    @pillze1524 I love in rosemary beach. It’s a small town. Come on over, ask anyone working in a store for Mr. Fish. Everyone knows who I am, it’s a small town. In fact let me know when you’re there I’ll meet you for lunch or something. If you’re not willing to come see me, then shut up...

    How Should Crossfit Balance Its Two Competing Cultures?

    @christhasrisen2000 They’re more or less immune to economic conditions. They rarely lose their paycheck. Real estate is less susceptible to micro-economic forces. Florida has seen massive population growth. There is no boom in Tallahassee. Rent increases of 30% in 3 successive years are...

    How Should Crossfit Balance Its Two Competing Cultures?

    @dawn16 There’s no such thing as a mild obsession. Your turn to answer questions. Do you rent space to any affiliates? Do you own any commercial real estate? What is your opinion on the trajectory of both the games and the affiliate net work over the last five years?

    How Should Crossfit Balance Its Two Competing Cultures?

    @dawn16 I’m heavily involved in the business of CF as a property owner. I figured out the economic dislocation that made CF profitable in 2010 or so, then figured out the cities where it works best. I started buying stuff when it was valued as post crisis lows. Cities with high...

    How Should Crossfit Balance Its Two Competing Cultures?

    @christhasrisen2000 Yeah It’s a thing. I’m bored watching football so here’s a long response. One issue with the two cultures is that the coaching education is wildly inadequate for the competitive culture. If you’re trying to train elite athletes (there are none in CrossFit, possibly...

    How Should Crossfit Balance Its Two Competing Cultures?

    @marieeeee Yeah, it’s nice when you can compete against your friends in the box maybe try a little bit harder and get a little extra something out of the workout This could happen without the competition season I said this the other day, CrossFit is like the affliction shirt of fitness. It was...

    How Should Crossfit Balance Its Two Competing Cultures?

    @marieeeee Also Lie for points. Take steroids for points. Use small plates for points. Do bullshit deadlifts and clown HSPU for points. Use fake weights for points. Submit doctored video for points Maybe we don’t need to hand out so many points.

    What does r/fitness not understand about CrossFit?

    @seekinggodswill Again, you’re seeing it from the inside. The post is about a group on the outside.

    What does r/fitness not understand about CrossFit?

    @hbkfan32 You’re seeing it from the inside. Here’s the outside Your post is just restating Greg’s ideas. That’s fine but it’s just what Greg said. It’s not science or anything. If fitness could be objectively measured, they wouldn’t change the tests every year, right? If they just said...

    What does r/fitness not understand about CrossFit?

    @cannie Calling the Games winners “Fittest on earth” rather than “CrossFit games champion” invites criticism and ridicule via comparison to other sports.

    Brooke Wells to HWPO

    @reneesinz45 DBE never in her life gonna CJ 265. She was a pole vaulter. Not a runner not a thrower, not an SEC school. You came here with a pole vaulter? Why’d I even bother? For anyone else out there: CF tests fitness not athletic ability. The best athlete on the men’s side is James...

    Brooke Wells to HWPO

    @reneesinz45 You’re putting a lot of words in my post I never said that. Never implied it. Why are you putting words in my post? Now instead of doing that, tell me who the better athletes are. Tell me who else could CJ 265 at age 20. Tell me who else was recruited to a big time...

    Brooke Wells to HWPO

    @reneesinz45 Find another one who was recruited for track to an SEC school and could CJ 265 at age 20 with no actual weightlifting coaching. Most of the women have had years of formal training and coaching, and still can’t get that number. Only Laura made it in the games, no one else is close...

    @enochswalk Name calling? Wow that makes you sound really confident. I actually know both Brooke and Tia. I was involved in working with each of them for a few CBD promos they did for a company named Beam. I like them both equally. They’re really nice people who always made time to talk...

    Brooke Wells to HWPO

    @enochswalk Brooke hit that 265 CJ without any serious weightlifting training. With Tia’s work ethic…but she doesn’t have it. Brooke also beat Tia on 1RM c&j by 20 lbs when they were both babies in 2015. The difference is the ensuing years is that Tia went to work and Brooke became an IG...
