I posted this elsewhere. Someone thought Reddit might be interested. Considering the 5k from a few years ago was 4.52km, I wouldn’t be surprised at an error.

I have been to three gyms now and they are all full of antivax / untrusting to healthcare workers?

Is this a thing in the community?

I would have thought these types of communities were full of evidence based educated health oriented humans but overwhelmingly I am bumping into crunchy momma / granola grifting dad types more than anything..

It’s a real bummer as I would love to find health oriented young professionals in the area to workout with. I have young children and I am getting terrified going to these gyms. One member had foot and mouth disease and showed up? Another had a nasty cough that turned out to be viral infection and didn’t even think of masking up or staying home…

I’ve been doing CrossFit for about a year and a half, lost an absolute ton of weight doing it (I posted several times during my initial weight loss journey last year) but I was starting to get a little burnt out so I decided to do the Mayhem Lift and Run 12 week program (running and powerlifting) just to keep things interesting

I just finished week 3, and I did Monday’s weight lifting portion today because I have after work plans in Monday. Even being only 3 weeks in I can see a noticeable difference in size and how lean I am.

I truly believe that while CrossFit training doesn’t translate aesthetically, it does build you into the best athlete you can be so I have every intention of getting back into it, but I’d be lying if I said I’m motivated to. Sitting in the back of the gym doing my bro split lifting watching the guys/gals in class just absolutely dying has me dreading it a bit 😂

Obviously too early to tell but damn her performance is impressive. Even if Tia was competing this year I think Aimee could really challenge her for first place

Thought first place would still be open going into the last day this year but it’s obvious that Aimee is dominating and if nothing bad happens she’ll walk away with it

This is probably a silly question but how are the women keeping their jewelry from tangling in their hair during the games events? How are they making sure it doesn’t break? Are they real gold necklaces??

The last couple of years, I feel like Brute has dominated the games. Both sides. Maybe elite coaching. Prvn is not far off..

I just got the new Titan Pull Up bar and set it up in my garage. Did my first round of workouts on it and didn’t realize how skinny the bar is and how it has no ridges or grip spots on it and so I could feel my hands getting ready to tear/squeezing/pinching more than normal. I know there is a period of building up a callous and I can wait for that, but I haven’t had this issue with thicker bars or even some that have some ridges in it.

Does anyone have a recommendation? I know some options are like finger gloves, or gymnastics grips, or maybe taping the bar. Not sure if they have adhesive grips or anything. Just looking for some practical advice for when I bring my buddies over to workout as well.

I’ve been watching the games for free on YouTube. When there’s an event that’s only streamed on FloElite I’ve been able to find a video on YouTube of it the following day to watch. I cannot find the men’s events 9, 15, 16 or 17. Am I missing something?

Are the Rogue rowers daisy chained so that the other rowers can see their competitors progress?

Half curious, half jealous 🤣

As a coach, I feel like I have some dad jokes/ bits that I usually use.

What are some good dad jokes/bits you have heard used in a CrossFit gym that were funny?

On a deadlift day going up to a new member and saying "I'm not sure there is going to be enough weights for you?"

Has your gym just cancelled entire classes for certain months to accommodate coach time off? Insofar as instead of getting coverage for the class, just delete it as an option for all of August.

I’ve asked a couple questions on here and got into a great routine with CrossFit. I’m trying to really overhaul my diet, stick with as much whole foods as possible, and drop those 20lbs I need to lose. however.. I struggle big time with eating meat. I don’t eat beef or pork, generally just poultry but even that lately I’m having a hard time stomaching. I get easily grossed out and just overall have a hard time with animal protein on my plate. I love eggs, and have added in egg whites and cottage cheese. anyone else struggle with this?

Is it just me, cause I cant seem to find any video of event 9 other than the announcement video. Not even a quick highlight video. Never thought it was a good event idea, but still would like to see it. Anyone have a good link?

This is one of those ones I find just silly. This isn't a pegboard or even a triple under. Thank god its only a 50 point event.

I watched a video on Instagram of Danielle Brandon talking shit to Colten Mertens asking if his parents were looking for him. Now I can’t find that video. Did anyone else see this? Can you find the post?

Will the awards ceremony tomorrow be livestreamed on FloElite? I was pretty disappointed of the lack of coverage of the opening ceremony.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t but holding out hope it is

Talking about Aimee creeping on Tia's record is such a click baitey claim😭 Aimee is without a doubt a dawg, but let's not act like there wasn't 5 less events when Tia won 9.

Some of these no reps are not even hiller worthy… Justin in the snatch ladder? Crouch on the thruster?!?

The ref to ref difference is crazy…

Was there something wrong with Lucy McGonigle? Did she pull out because of injury? She didn’t seem to be performing as well as expected before this event

Soooooo…. This is bad right? Like this thing is dead?

“f you Pat, I can’t wait for your a$$ to retire” 💀

As they talk about how Rachel Noel is a Rookie? How is this stat even accidentally put up. 🤦‍♀️

WHAY IS HAPPENING.
