Hi Dave. I watched the recent Danielle Brandon documentary in which you participated. It speaks to her high respect for you that she asked you to be part of her intimate life story. The video opened my eyes in that I always viewed her as just very glamorous and brash and with other false assumptions, but now I know her journey was almost the opposite of that; a fight for every inch of success and against tough odds. You’ve worked closely with hundreds of elite, celebrated athletes and personalities throughout your time running The Games and have unequivocally always played it straight & fair, but beneath the poker-faced surface, is there a special place in your heart for those who rise from tremendous adversity, the underdogs and the scrappers? I suspect that there is.
Dave, Any chance that the HQ workout of the day could start to include workouts for age 55+? Since the Open, Quarterfinals etc. have different weights/movements it would be nice if the workout of the day had guidance for 55+.
Dave, I appreciate the additional information on the affiliate map. I travel often and drop into a lot of gyms around the US. The first thing I look at is the coaching staff's qualifications and prefer at least one L2 or higher. The higher the qualifications the better.
Thanks Dave, really enjoy your WIR and perspectives on various topics. Do you plan to make any leather patches with hook backing? Would love to add a personalized TDC patch to my GoRuck and weight vest. Keep up the good work, appreciate all you do for our Crossfit community
Hi, Dave. I've been doing CrossFit for 12 years now and just completed my 11th Open. One of the things I've always found important in (and unique about) CrossFit are the benchmarks a.k.a. redoing workouts. What was the reason for not having a redo this year in the Open? As much as I liked 24.3, I feel like 19.5 or 21.3 could have done a similar job while keeping a redo in the mix. Thanks for your work and your WIR videos. Glad you're back.
Dave, thanks for highlighting the online educator course. Very excited about this offering for anyone, enjoying myself. Question If you had to assign book character’s you’ve read that resemble your friends, who would they be?
Hey Dave, may I respectfully request more details of how the AGQ finals is going to look? All I see is that it’s over 6 days. Do I need to take vacation to get the workouts done in special time constraints? Last years first 2 had to be completed in 24hrs. Thank you in advance.
Dave what your opinion on using squat wedges to get more of a range of motion in workouts or in competition? Do think it will be easier judge bodyweight squats?
Dave, thanks for your Week in Review i love the format and was inspired to do something similar in my last job. Do you have any comment on the Rogue Invitational coming to Scotland? Does it set a precedent or a testing ground for the games to be held outside of the US in future? Finally are you coming to Scotland for Rogue, would be happy to share a whisky and some haggis.
im a friend of erik preston from when i lived in california. he went to my church...and guess what? he introduced my passion, crossfit, in 2021... i went from 250 pounds and able to do one pullup in 2021 to being 180 lbs and able to do 10 ring muscle ups. and if it werent for decimating my calf the day before 24.2, id be able to continue my crossfit season :( ..... just wanted to say i love the straight talk and honesty and love hearing the bible stuff. but yeah, you only obviously gotta share what you feel like sharing.
Hey Dave, when QF were for the top 10%, some workouts had a skill/weight that stopped some athletes from completing a significant amount of work on that particular workout. (Snatches-bbjo for example) now that it will be 25% and that most likely the bottom 15% of those wouldn't be able to overcome those past workouts, are the QF test going to be more accessible/inclusive or what's the plan? 10:24
Hey Dave, I have currently been training at and unaffiliated gym that follows CrossFit/functional programming and I love it. I love the methodology. My question is: After you complete reading the different religious texts do you plan to dive deeper in understanding the content (ie systematic theology, or commentaries)? It is one thing to read through them and you can absorb a lot, but it is a whole other thing to understand the overarching themes. Thanks!
I don't know the details, as Dave don't; but I am pretty sure that human population and especially, growing living areas, mixed with climate change(prey moving to lower areas due to drought etc.) is the main reason of mountain lions getting in contact with humans, causing accidental meets. They're not the problem, humans are.
Hey Dave, why are you destroying CrossFits brand by reposting that horrible 550 back squat that wasnt even close to depth? (the guy who claimed 550 back squat and 4:57 mile in the same hour) Thanks!
Should’ve called in to sevys show for this one, but… hang with me… CrossFits popularity was growing steadily up until Greg disbanded the media team in 2018. At that time he sited his reasonings behind that decision were that the sport of CrossFit was starting to skew the public perception of CrossFit. The sport of CrossFit didn’t resonate with Greg, and he would rather grow slowly in a way that resonated with him than grow for the sake of growing. Today, it seems obvious to me that if the private equity firm that owns CrossFit wanted to bring CrossFit back to “the glory days”, they would fire back up the media team, but yet… they don’t. Could this mean that the firm that owns CrossFit shares Greg’s sentiment regarding the identity of CrossFit to the public (and themselves)?
How would you see the possibility of revealing one of the WODs/skills that will appear a few months before the Open? In this way, we could have a specific target to improve those skills. There are so many skills in CrossFit that it’s impossible for most of us to cover them all, and we end up making little progress year after year. By doing this, we can make sure to focus on some of them and test them in the Open.
Not sure a top athlete would bet on themselves to lose or take a dive for the possibility of winning $1,000, a pair of shoes or mobility app membership in a fantasy fitness app. Fantasy apps aren't gambling, there is no exchange of money for a skill or chance game. The comparison of MLB being on the ceiling and competitive CrossFit being on the floor was on point, maybe some day but not today.
Matthew 6:25-34 is a good verse for anyone worried about gambling in CrossFit. Today has enough concerns before worrying about a day that doesn't exist yet.
A few years ago, an offshore online bookmaker posted odds and was taking wagers on various aspects of the CrossFit Games. Brian wrote an article about it in Barbell Spin.
@@MikeHalpin Not sure. My underworld connections are very limited. I suppose there's no reason for concern. Just because it's been done in the past and there's a potential for money to be made, doesn't mean it should given a second thought.
Is it even fair that you DC participated in the open since you already knew the workouts? You qualified for the Quarterfinals and you took away one persons spot. I love that you did it, don’t get me wrong. I was just wondering.
Thanks Dave, really enjoy your WIR and perspectives on various topics. Do you plan to make any leather patches with hook backing? Would love to add a personalized TDC patch to my GoRuck and weight vest. Keep up the good work, appreciate all you do for our Crossfit community

The El Dorado County Sheriffs office just released more information on the mountain lion attack.
Could you share your thoughts about anti- doping prevention initiatives. Achievements and limitations. Thanks for all your hard working.
The Dave Chronicles!! Man, the day these stop is gonna be a sad day. Hope these live on forever kinda like the Journal.
Get your dog a good "vest" which could help protect some of his vitals as well!!!
@davecastro6289 Whats your thoughts on bringing back the BOB dummy for a CrossFit Event? I would love to see a Go Ruck and BOB Dummy events together.

That Lion attack was 6 miles from my parents house, 2nd time that I can remember we had a person killed by a cat.

Dave, are you annoyed by all the de-affiliated gyms still doing the open?
Why if there on the leaderboard there paying the sign up fee so CrossFit is making cash off them.
