In a beautiful moment, Krista introduced Lyle and myself via email, and the hatred has burned brighter and cleaner since. And yeah, this was fucking long ago.

That guy on the left looks like he should be practicing what he preaches. Unless, of course, he is being personally trained by Couch, then he meets the standards for an @fit executive.

Edit: What is with these fucking knee socks ?

Crossfit is Open Sourced right?

I think we need a thread with some data.

Maybe some testing metrics, some programming, and some repeated tests to show performance improvements with main site or other affiliate programming?

From coach "But here's the fascinating part. We can take you from a 200 pound max deadlift to a 500-750 pound max deadlift in two years while only pulling max singles four or five times a year. We will though work the deadlift, like most lifts, approximately once per week at higher reps and under grueling conditions. It may intuit well that if you can pull a 250 pound deadlift 21 times coming to the lift at a heart rate of 180 beats per minute, then 500 pounds for a single at a resting heart rate is perhaps manageable. "

I am asking how many crossfitters have a 700lb deadlift following mainsite programming?
I foresee that he won't be unmoderated for long, he has just committed a thoughtcrime.

Attention: @fit faggot lurkers!

None of your studs (male or female) are doing the stupid fucking mainsite WODs.

Only the weak, injured, and stupid noob are doing the mainsite programming.

And holy fuckballs Castro looks like shit.

Seriously, no joke, is Castro ill? Like, terminally? He doesn't look well, and I don't want to say anything mean only to find out that I've mocked a dead person again.

That tatted up @F honey who died a while back, the one with the gun tattooed on her, died of some sort of cancer or something and nobody on the fucking @F forum or mainpage said a fucking about it, although as a whole, IGx expressed condolences to her friends and family.

I remember Amanda but I don't recall WGM or anyone on IGX saying anything disparaging about her.

Lipson's whole 365 days of squatting blog was a tribute to her and numerous @fitters have expressed words and actions for her. Let's be real about this.

They did honor her in their own tribal way by naming a workout after her.

I saw him on one of the official NSW websites a few years back (may have been sealswcc.com) showing people proper form for ring dips or something like that. I would find it but I don't care. He was wearing the blue shirt and I doubt they'd put that on a Navy site if he didn't belong there.

I have read on the Interwebs that he did not have a good reputation in the Teams. Rumors. I am curious myself though what the truth is. Has anyone come out and said they served with him? There are a couple current/former NSW guys involved in CF (Bridges, Stumpf, Brown, Taylor, a couple more I can't remember) and I don't recall anyone saying they knew about Castro before he was with CF.

Let's not forget Caviston isn't exactly a kool-aid drinker.

Correction, I posted about it on the CF forum, provided a link to the blog post Robb Wolf did on her, and was quickly moderated.

The message board is not HQ and vice versa. I moderate the message board, and so do others.
I don't recall seeing Tony Budding or Dave Castro on the message boards, so if you want to ask them a question, email Dave at CrossFit.com or Tony at Crossfit.com. Discussing it here probably won't get you any answers.
OR, maybe, just maybe Budding and/or Castro could join the community and discuss these issues openly instead of one-on-one via email?
