Report on our Inaugural Visiting Coach Seminars
By Hari Singh, co-owner of CFNYC
Thanks to Dave Castro for launching our Visiting Coach Series. After surviving a night out on the town led by Josh Newman that included undoing a year’s worth of training for at least one CrossFit Games competitor, Dave delivered two hour-plus talks. Castro covered a wide range of topics, while carefully sidestepping a request from Deverell for detailed information about CrossFit groupies.
Dave turned in the best time at the 11:00 AM WOD (21-15-9 deadlifts @ 185# (men)/125# (women), hand-release pushups). Our own Mike Mishik was rude enough to beat that time at the 1:00 PM WOD.

    Can anyone elaborate a bit on what Castro talked about? Did he talk about how/why mainpage programs the way it does? Anything else of interest?

  • jenn

    15 rounds + 1 push-up Rx

  • Jai
  • Other Josh R

    So, if I want to do Saturday’s rowing WOD instead of the Sumos, do I just do it during open gym hours, in the back?

  • Isaac

    Haven’t done back squats in three months (!)
    135×6, 155×5, 175×4, 195×3, 195×2, 215×2, 225×1.
    225 was my PR last CF Total.

  • Chris

    awesome event! cant wait for more. Dave went way over time and was a wealth of info, highly recommended.

  • Elizabeth J

    12 rds + 7 SDHPs. The push ups killed me. And most of them were on my knees!

  • Jai

    53#, 11 rounds plus 1 SDLHP.

  • Mike Mishik

    Dave was awesome. A little cockly but he definitely shared a lot of interesting points. Can’t wait untill the next one

  • Eric

    14 rounds, rxed. Might have possibly been 15, I may have lost track. But SDHPs felt pretty good, just in time for FGB.
    Now, the pushups, they killed me….

  • Emily

    modified to 5 push-ups to give my shoulder a break. i’ve re-injured myself in the past doing high rep push-ups and i really don’t want to do that again…
    15 + 3 SDHP @ 53#
    really focused on keeping my core tight during push-ups. helps get rid of the “worm” effect….
