Rest Day on http://crossfit.com
Skill Day on http://crossfitkids.com

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.

Currently 3181 votes right now. Up from 2881 yesterday.
Top vote in the category that CrossFit Brand X/CrossFit Kids HQ is competing in is currently 12700. Up from about 11851 yesterday.

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.

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.

I double vote every single day. BrandX turned me into a serious CrossFit machine. WOD to come later today…probably would have never seeked out an affiliate if it wasn’t for BrandX

Rows/Pushpresses

4 rounds of:
Row 300 m
30 12 lb db push press

9:01

The gym didn’t have their usual “build your own dumbells”, so I had to use the heaviest one available and do more reps. Not a very good stimulus, this was too easy. Might try it again from home with SDLHP or burpees subs.

Voted.
