The mainpage of CrossFit directs new people here for help getting started. CF can be confusing enough for a newbie, we want to make it as easy as possible for them. We ask you to be courteous and thoughtful of the newbies. Answers to frequently asked questions can be found in the Beginners forum.
We’re up to 669 votes.
The numbers are better but they don’t remotely reflect the number of people who make use of the resource GD provides.
Top vote in the category that CrossFit Brand X/CrossFit Kids HQ is competing in is currently 4196. We have a lot of ground to make up.
CrossFit Brand X is a CrossFit Affiliate in Ramona California. It’s a small town, not affluent, not poor, but the district schools are as under-funded there as they are anywhere. Despite the fact that CrossFit Brand X is also the Headquarters of the CrossFit Kids program and where the program was developed and continues to be developed, most of the schools have little exposure to CrossFit. This grant would bring CrossFit Kids to one school in the Ramona area and allow the CrossFit Kids program to make an enormous difference to the lives of the kids at that school.
We have the ability to make that happen.
All you have to do is create a login to the Power a Brighter Future site and every day, go there and vote for CF Kids. If you’re in the US, also text “clorox3829” to 44144 and you’ve voted twice. Do that every day until December 9th. That’s it. That’s your extra credit WOD.
GD has helped thousands of people get started with CrossFit and this is important to him. If you have benefited from his advice or the scalings he’s priovided, here’s your chance to pay him back.
We should easily be pumping 500 votes per day into that site. Easily!
If we can’t pull that together we’re a pretty ungrateful bunch.
Please vote and spread the word.
We can do this.

So about 3000 people come here each day to get the free scaling we do every night. 24/7, 365 days a year. We rarely ask anything of our members or the people who come here. Right now we are asking you to vote so that CF Kids can get a grant to teach CrossFit to kids from 1st through 6th grade. It takes just a few seconds to text a vote. We could have 3000 votes a day, if you all took a few seconds to text a vote in. The highest vote right now after two days of voting is around 1000, we have 98. I’ll post a few reminders please help..
CrossFit Kids has been accepted by Clorox as nominee for a 50,000 grant through Powerabrightfuture.com to have CFK implemented at a local school- here in Ramona the home of CFK HQ !
We have three weeks to vote EVERY DAY - PLEASE!
Voting has begun.3-2-1 VOTE ! Our code is clorox3829. I found the easiest way to vote is to use the “keyword search” option, search by “Crossfit” and the nomination pops right up! To text a vote….send the text to 44144 and list our code clorox3829 in the message.
Hey, I’m not able to register on the Power a Brighter Future site. Seems the security captcha thing isn’t working. Should there be a space between the 2 words? Pretty sure I’m typing them correctly…
Something is wrong with this voting web site… It was well above 700 votes yesterday at some point. Then I refreshed the page… and it dropped!!!!!!! to about 650. Now I am doubting the fairness of all this stuff… Will keep voting though.
Resting 60 seconds between sets:
Press 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2
50-55-60-65-70-75-80-85-90-95
I’m taking Metric’s advice and have backed up a few days on wods to allow me to plan and study new movements.
I previously did this WOD on 111022 and maxed out at 90 lbs, barely making the 2nd rep.
This time the second rep on 95 lbs went up stronger, but don’t think I could have made 100.
Anyway, somethings working!
I’m voting every day, but we’re losing. The leaders must simply have people banging it in every day, which we could do too.
I had trouble with the register thing also—when you type the two security words, you need a space between them. Also, if there is a comma or period in the image, type that in as well. It took me 3 tries to get it. (Slow but persistent learner….)
Perhaps GD could post a comment on the main site? I don’t know if that would be appropriate, but it would reach more people.
