@christianman02 It all comes down to one thing, space. If you have the space, none of things these are issues because there isn't any competition for space. I was at a very successful gym that had a 300+ member Crossfit affiliate, any dedicated oly area, a dedicated powerlifting area (both with...

@pdbcm “Weight gain” isn’t a really great measure of your body’s composition. Your body gets “heavier” for a lot of reasons other than gaining fat or “size.” I’m throwing all these things in quotes because they’re all loaded terms and phrases. If you want to learn more about your body...

@christianman02 Oly and powerlifters want to be around a community of oly and power lifters. It is hard for the average CrossFit gym to devote open gym space to an oly or powerlifting group without sacrificing some of the space for their Crossfit classes. Scheduling makes this problem worse. The...

@chibisensei21 Tough to say in poundage. If you don’t really care about muscles to fat ratio, a lot, but I wouldn’t recommend it. If you are talking about “clean”, lean muscle, like 10-15 pounds, 1.5-2 pounds a month depending on genetics. Expect at least some fat gain if you are eating to gain...

@bldssphq For what it's worth, my gym tried an "advanced" class that was longer and it didn't work out. It created a huge division within the community and alienated regular members who felt like they weren't "good enough" to attend. I know the point is to have a time for the better people, but...

@bldssphq A few things from my experience managing affiliates. Yeah, 90 minutes would be great for those that want it. Most people don't want to make the 90 min commitment. You're arguments are compelling indeed, but that adds a lot more time to a class. 11 years managing affiliates, the most...

@caleb_m A positive test for steroids is just be tip if the iceberg and really doesn’t tell us much about an athlete at all. Cycling on and off for long term gains and to avoid positive tests had been a part of steroids use for as long as steroids have been involved in competitive sports. This...

@bonlin I get he most burnout after the open/quarters. I usually just pick another goal for a few months. Ranging from diet goals to fitness goals. Sign up for a race or a competition. Or just go to a few more happy hours and enjoy the weather. Whatever, I’ve found it doesn’t really matter, it...

@10trouble13 I understand that. The comment was a response to the OPs question and not intended to be legal advice of any kind or a blanket statement about the rampant copy-write infringements and intellectual property theft that happen on social media every day. Whether you believe me or not...

@10trouble13 Correct, you can’t just take copywriter work, but (1) you should always site where you got a work/workout if you didn’t write it yourself, and (2) the likelihood that they come after you for reposting a workout or workouts for no financial gain while properly giving credit where...

@klara123 If you reuse use it, just site where you got it from and there shouldn’t be any issues. Post the workout, that it’s from CrossFit main site and a link.

@hmseej Care to share the raw data?

@hmseej How'd you pull the raw data?

@thanhlam It’s just a staple movement. Plus you’re likely to see it in a few weeks during The Open.

@grace4nan Making it more expensive without offering anything in return to the affiliates and athletes won’t grow numbers.

@grace4nan That beauty is only from the perspective of CrossFit and doesn’t account for the fact that you might lose affiliates over time. You’re doing all your math assuming the 14,000 number will remain. What if increase drop it to 13,000? That has to be accounted for when doing financial...

@grace4nan It’s interesting, but for increasing affiliate fees only generates shorts term income without solving any of the broader problems at the CrossFit affiliates. They can increase open fees all they want, but there’s already a lot of people who won’t pay 20 dollars let alone 25 or more...

@dylan511 If she stays healthy, she will be a multi year winner. Probably needs a year or two to get the mental game down and really find out what her weaknesses are. Once she gets that first win though, it’s probably over for the rest of the field for a while.
