Please hold questions and comments until Garddawg or BlueBugofJustice post the scaling, which usually includes links to exercise videos, common substitutions and other helpful information.

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. If they show up here for the first time and have to wade through 5-10 posts before we have a chance to scale for them, it can make it more difficult.

Answers to frequently asked questions can be found in the Beginners forum.

Saw a discussion on the main site about how women should not be in SPECOPS units.  I’m not SPECOPS but am currently serving, so I’ve learned a bit about Afghan culture.  It is a cultural taboo for men to talk to women they are not related to in Afghanistan, and they certainly cannot search them without causing grave offense to the Afghan people.  This is especially true in the more conservative areas outside the urban zones.  It’s the whole winning hearts and minds counter-insurgency thing and we cannot make a lasting difference without these brave women that volunteer for this hazardous duty.  RIP LT.

Rest Little Sister, peacefully.
