Danelle, getting ready to PR in her deadlift!! Congrats Danelle!

After yesterday’s post we had a few people ask exactly what we meant by “an open source gym”.  My apologies for not making that clearer, especially to any member that happens to have a smaller,  less awesome dog than River.  An “open source gym” to Eric and I means that we prioritize the information we get firstly by how effective it is and lastly, by who said it.  If CrossFit HQ sends out a memo stating that all squats should be done with toes pointed in and we find that not to be very effective, we won’t do it.  If some no-name student at a gym in North Dakota shows us a way to deadlift more effectively than we have in the past, we’ll adopt it.  From the first Intro that you’ve all done to the day-to-day teaching, you’ve heard us preach “performance first” over and over again.  The same thing applies to the information that crosses our desk. “ Will it safely enhance the performance or wellness of our athletes?” is the first and most important that we ask with any and all ideas that we come across.  That is what we mean by an “open source gym”.
