Interesting. I'm not an attorney and apparently neither is the author (it's not listed in his bio) so I'm not sure what to believe.

Dave Castro AMA on Reddit.


"I know it's tough to answer these questions because so long as a level 1 cert is all that you need to open up your own Crossfit gym, a few bad apples will slip through. Unfortunately, people are ready and willing to jump on this bad publicity."

Here is the thing, whats it take to open up ANY gym. A golds gym? lots of money. A personal training studio? nothing really, any certificate you want to hold, and some of those are only online tests. So what we are doing is better then what most out there are doing, but that question is never really asked.
We test everyone who makes it to the Games. If you earn a spot to the Games you are tested. We test all the top guys at the Games. If you finish near the top or at the top you are tested. The best in our sport are also tested year round without notice. We taking testing serious and we will continue to do so.
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. - Helen Keller

Brilliant.
Question: Who do you take tips ideas from for programming?
Answer: Nobody in the community really, I really like to come at with fresh perspectives and ideas. I take most of my inspiration from places other than CrossFit. Other sporting events, other art, theater etc.

What does your personal fitness routine look like? Especially with all the traveling.
I CrossFit. at home and on the road. when I am on the road, i go to hotel gyms and train. Before every open, I run on the treadmill for 20 minutes. And its probably the best time for me to rehearse and go over what I need to say. I laugh when people say do you even lift or do CrossFit. Of course I do.
This shit is gold.

It doesn't really have a point, IMO.

It's just some goofy communications about some poor motherfucker who broke his back because the OCT was negligent in vetting their events and venue.

I can respect this, as long as it's full of delicious Belgian beer. *THAT* is good work capacity for a good purpose, in my opinion.

Suing scientists is an honourable thing to do. Next thing is to ban anyone from saying they have been injured at Crossfit.

It used to be that if somebody saw you doing intervals or burpees they would ask if you were doing CF.

Now, people see some dumbass shit and assume the same.

I suppose that means brand recognition is growing.

So, is this real? I mean I would have had a very hard time shouldering a keg even before I got hurt. This girl weighs maybe 110lbs, so if that keg is full of anything it is very impressive. I'm inclined to call bullshit but OTOH it looks like she's trying way harder than she'd need to if it were empty but OTOH if it were full it looks like it would slip off her back but OTOH I want to lick her where she pees, so ya know, whatever, I still need to know dudes!

WTF IS IN TEH KEG?!!
