5 rounds plus handstand. Everything unbroken except floor L sit broken into 3 chunks each round, and this was barely doable round 5. L sits really gas me. Able to more or less recover my breathing on the other stuff. Last handstand was hard to go unbroken due to shoulders. Fasted 16-17 hours for this one. Nice and sweaty one but not too hot at 75...

4 rounds - Rx (handstand on wall, L-sit on 10inch tall parallettes with legs straight and feet off the floor. Did sets of 10s for the first few round on L-sit then had to chip away with 6s to accumulate the 30s total. Broke my last couple rounds of chin over the bar holds into two sets of 15s)
The chin over bar hold and L-sits were definitely the hardest movements to hold. Never thought I'd look forward to handstand holds before lol

Peace.
So, basically read this as; the new, woke, CrossFit is failing at retaining affiliates and not adding new members so they need help from what worked originally.

Honestly, who cares how the firing happened or how the return happened! That info just serves our curiosity and nothing more. This is a big step in the right direction, that's what matters.
Can we be treated like adults, and get an explanation for the firing, and now the rehiring. Its also annoying how all use of Gregs name is always avoided. Stop trying to hide reality. Honesty is they only way you will keep this thing together.
With 20# weight vest, 5 rounds + 13 seconds HS hold.
This is a strange workout, where the HS hold is easy, the squat hold is basically just resting, and the L-sit and chin-over-bar are so, so hard. L-sits are always hard, and the vest made the chin-over-bar hold much tougher than usual. Happy to get through 5 rounds. Nice to have an isometric and lower intensity
WOD now and then.

Scaled to ring h-sit vice L sits
4 rounds + 30 sec h-sit. Completed round 5 in 21:40.
Was surprised at how hard the chin over bar was for me. Sustained most other holds for the full 30 sec (broke handstand and h sits once on one round), but had to break the chin over bar hold 2x each round.

Great CF day. An unusual workout and a real blast from the past, 2 excellent instructional videos, and Dave Castro is coming back.

So excited to have Dave back! I'm interested to hear details at the town hall.
This could be interesting. Waiting to see what goes on at the Affiliate Townhall meeting.

Advisor!
Would someone please just stand up and say "Hey, we made a mistake!" and just ask Dave to be CEO. Everyone makes mistakes, even Greg!
L-sits scale: tuck hold suspended between 2 boxes
6 rounds + 70 seconds of work
Broke the chin-up hang every round except rd.1. Coming right after the tuck hold, that was death on the abs. All other elements were unbroken.
Both video lessons today are AWESOME! Improved both my Ls and my HS.
Glad to know it’s not just me Chris! 😅😂 I have the same problem. Hips & quads cramp not just abs.
Not sure I did the correct 8 rounds and +2

I didn't see this coming and I'm so grateful!! HELL YEAH welcome TDC!
5 + 2" chin over bar hold
Rx: 7+30” L-sit hold
I am happy and relieved about this news. I have been concerned about the direction of CrossFit over the last several months and the feeling of corporationization leading over methodology. Dave has always given his heart and soul to CrossFit and I was deeply unhappy about the way he was sacked with little real explanation. I am only an everyday recreational Crossfitter but this news makes me happy this morning.
CrossFit had lost it’s heart and soul. Though Greg is gone, the soul of CrossFit lives on through Nicole. Now, we have our heart back! Welcome home, TDC.
Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
Nothing to rant about
WORKOUT THEMES
Static hold, emphasis on transition positions (besides handstand), pulling strength (two from hips, one from shoulders)
SHORT MEDIUM LONG
LIGHT x
MEDIUM
HEAVY
SCALING FOR LIMITING FACTORS
Flexibility - light dumbbells hold, l-sits from box, squats holding onto something, keep toes on the ground for pull-up hold
Strength - set a timer for 30 minutes and practice each station; give one honest attempt then move to the next one
Stamina - 5 minutes straight of practice at each station
MY STUFF
I went for 24ish minutes, I think I made it through 6 rounds. L-sits were solid first round on the floor, then modified after
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 6
Welcome back Dave!!!
As an Affiliate Owner I am grateful to have you back in our corner.
After losing a little bit of faith, I am once again excited and hopeful for the future of CrossFit!
CrossFit Train 97333 in Corvallis, if you are ever in Oregon we would love to have you stop by.
This is welcome news! Thank you Dave for your loyalty and passion!
Bom regresso a direção! A sua participação vau agigantar ainda mais a CrossFit pelo mundo fora!... Estamos com grande expetativa das tuas ideas e acoes... Bem haja!...

One step closer to Steve Jobs coming back to Apple. Oddly enough, this post is exactly two years after this was posted. (w/f safe)
Great news for sure! Congratulations Dave!
Dear CrossFit HQ, is anyone lobbying yet to have CrossFit as an Exhibition Sport in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics or other future Olympics? Could be a good role for Dave Castro also.
Shocked and excited to hear Dave is back! Finally some good news!
So glad to have some grass roots crossfit people like Dave back… felt empty without him this year. Go Dave!

This is great news, but it seems like they always visit the "core" affiliates, or the long time cronies of CrossFit. Seems they always leave the small guys in the Midwest out. Maybe Dave needs to get on the Affiliate FB groups and engage the rest of us?
Awesome.
A lot of house cleaning ahead for you Dave but if anyone can do it, it would be you. I am pleasantly surprised that there may be a chance for me to be proud to affiliate myself with CrossFit again. Coach, Nicole, and Dave… gotta get the band back together.
Welcome back TDC!
First order of business - hire the man in his spare bedroom.
Make the story magical again.
Welcome back, Dave!
I have a feeling this will be a town hall worth watching. Not just a bunch of corporate rehearsed PC jibberish.
Excited for this town hall.
This is great news. The last year has been filled with too much drama around HQ and this gets me excited again about CrossFit and being an affiliate owner! It’s time to get serious again!!
Bem vindo de volta.
