so many cool things in this. the MC drinking his beer while they are killing themselves.. hilarious. but at the end when Rich and Dan are totally cheering and encouraging the guy who was struggling with his OHS. Makes me appreciate my struggles and the encouragement I get from people at my box. It's such a better environment than a normal gym. Then they just run up the mountain for S&G,,
I really don't mind Dave Castro. He plays the asshole but seems pretty alright. He ran with, and cheered for the guys. He was just giving them a hard time.
Those are my coaches and THIS is what cf is all about where the last place team no mater the competition gets the loudest cheers! Alex had a tough time but powered through like a monster, and didn't give up!! i give my coaches the highest props and respect! They knew what they were getting into and they did it anyway! at the end when they are all cheering them on is what cf is about. Then all 5 of them ran up the hill i give them the highest respect anyone who bad talks them is rude and ignorant
Rich and Dan are definitely class acts. I'd look forward to hopefully training with them one day. Good job on the challengers as OHS are tough especially at 155 lbs.
no only are they cheering them on at the end of the WOD when dude is struggling, but they do the "punishment run" with them. Rich and Dan... unbelievable athletes... even better sportsman.
I love how this could've easily been a "work with the champs" thing like in pro sports where the non-pros just lose and don't learn anything, but Rich and Dan made it a learning and fun experience :) I give huge respect to those guys.. And for Castro, he was actually giving some coaching advice, and I do think all that he was saying was in good fun.
Glad to see the athletes (Dan & Rich) supporting the positivity of the sport that is CrossFit. Pretty terrible when the MC ( a predominant face at events) is infusing negativity the entire time. Sorry Castro, it wasn't playful, it was disrespectful. Go have another beer...time for a replacement.
People crack me up with your comments. Who cares if he drinks a beer and who cares if he has a foul mouth. All the other stuff that goes on in this world and thats all they got out of the video. How about people doing what they absolutely love? Working there asses of to achieve it? Giving every once of energy to a sport they love and every single person cheering them on? The day we stop seeing negative in every little thing will be amazing. Love this video way push yourselves to the limits.
well put. i have been trying to figure out what i disliked about castro for a very long time. there has always been something but i could never put it into words
i had no clue dave catsro was a navy seal. new to this world. before i thought he was just a jerk instigator. nope, when you were a navy seal you can be whatever you want to be. my bad for assuming something that was wrong. a mans man is dave castro
Sport definition: An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively. I'd say that especially at the top level the physical exertion and skill to compete at CrossFit greatly exceed the bulk of competitive sports out there. ESPN and Reebok and agree.
That's why there is barriers, and they can handle the weight, they're just dropping it instead of lowering it down to waste energy and time. Did you not see how at 6:43 Rich was told to watch out because the guy was doing burpees right behind him and he said "gotcha" and then when he dropped it so it rolled way away from the guy to avoid any unfortunate accidents?
It was all in good fun dude lol chill no one was serious during the entire thing at all except for the guys training.. it was just a good way for people to get active with world class athletes and get some experience and get better....
Everybody is hating on Dave Castro. why? this is supposed to be a fun and entertaining laid back event. So I think the teasing he does is quite alright. The beer is a thing he could have thought about a bit more. and please people. if you hate on him.... know his name! And not...the dude in the yellow jacket. please! And that he is running the CF games .... can´t be that douchy huh?
this is ongoing. castro seems like just cause he practically founded the crossfit games, he runs shit. which, well, technically he does, but he doesn't need to be a dick to the people who challenge two of the fittest people on earth. personally, i would fuckin knock castro out if he was speaking to me like that if i had the chance to go against froning and bailey in a workout. froning and bailey are awesome people, and they are respectful. castro a straight up plug
hey! just go to crossfit.com and they have a TON of workouts! if u ever dont understand a movement, just come back to youtube, type out "crossfit", and then the name of the movement :)
Really, man? Just, really? I didn't get that at all. He was telling the obvious truth, and at the same time applauding the courage (and advising, during the workout!) the guys who called them out. The whole event was all in fun, and the competitors knew that. It tells a lot that he ran the "punishment" with them and that he was trying to help Alex out with his overhead squat, but you clearly ignored that part.
That's really good sportsmanship for dan and rich to run with them
They just needed to finish their workout.
Indee, however this is what Crossfit is all about, team work
And then crushing them at the run to 🙃
I love how Dan and Rich ran with the guys for their punishment. Shows how much Crossfit is about helping others compared to so many other sports
I love how even though they are the best they still encourage and support everyone and make the sport that much better
Awesome to see this in my hometown. I hope Rich and Dan enjoyed the area. They are class acts.
love Crossfit because of the obvious things but one that makes this sport stand out the unity between crossfitters as a whole, it is just awesome!!!!
9:15 and everything after is why I love crossfit so much. The community, the support, and the love
lol from what ive seen he adds humor to the situation...he lightens the mood.
Such great sportsmanship at the end and throughout the whole video, wish I could've said the same about Castro.
first time i have ever seen castro coach anybody, i appreciate him even more now
This is what it’s all about... Dan and Rich are class acts.
Love how Froning is tightening the collars and coaching the other guys, & join them for the run. Both Rich and Dan are top notch sportsmen.
I would give anything to get tips from rich and dan during a workout! So cool
so many cool things in this. the MC drinking his beer while they are killing themselves.. hilarious. but at the end when Rich and Dan are totally cheering and encouraging the guy who was struggling with his OHS. Makes me appreciate my struggles and the encouragement I get from people at my box. It's such a better environment than a normal gym. Then they just run up the mountain for S&G,,
crossfit has some of the greatest sportsmanship ever
Dan and Rich are an awesome unit... #motivation
lifting on a wet surface. I would not do it. But the workout seemed pretty awesome will give this one a go in my box.
+utkarsh misra Wet concrete still has plenty of friction with that porous surface. Just don't start dancing ;).
I really don't mind Dave Castro. He plays the asshole but seems pretty alright. He ran with, and cheered for the guys. He was just giving them a hard time.
Those are my coaches and THIS is what cf is all about where the last place team no mater the competition gets the loudest cheers! Alex had a tough time but powered through like a monster, and didn't give up!! i give my coaches the highest props and respect! They knew what they were getting into and they did it anyway! at the end when they are all cheering them on is what cf is about. Then all 5 of them ran up the hill i give them the highest respect anyone who bad talks them is rude and ignorant
loving all the Dave Castro shit talking! Daves the man!
Rich and Dan are definitely class acts. I'd look forward to hopefully training with them one day. Good job on the challengers as OHS are tough especially at 155 lbs.
Rich and Dan running with them, those guys are great
no only are they cheering them on at the end of the WOD when dude is struggling, but they do the "punishment run" with them. Rich and Dan... unbelievable athletes... even better sportsman.
I miss this !!!!
lol.. lifting on a wet surface.. crossfit never ceases to amaze me with it's unsafe practises ._.
Rich and Dan are class acts all the way
yo entertaining video man, felt good seeing the help they gave the other dude, great athlete's
I love how this could've easily been a "work with the champs" thing like in pro sports where the non-pros just lose and don't learn anything, but Rich and Dan made it a learning and fun experience :) I give huge respect to those guys.. And for Castro, he was actually giving some coaching advice, and I do think all that he was saying was in good fun.
olympic lifters, triathalon athletes, and crossfitters i all respect. 3 amazing sports, 3 different goals
Glad to see the athletes (Dan & Rich) supporting the positivity of the sport that is CrossFit. Pretty terrible when the MC ( a predominant face at events) is infusing negativity the entire time. Sorry Castro, it wasn't playful, it was disrespectful. Go have another beer...time for a replacement.
CrossFit is just full of great people.
I imagine that Physical Therapist are making BANK thanks for Cross-fitters.
that was awesome!

well put. i have been trying to figure out what i disliked about castro for a very long time. there has always been something but i could never put it into words
That was ace if I was given a chance to challenge the best I would try
where can i buy those grey hoodies that have crossfit text with white on the chest?
What's not to love about CrossFit. Get called out-destroy your challengers-motivate them to finish strong.
Guys. Its dave castro. He is a good guy and thats just how we talks sometimes. What about when he waa givin the guy pointers when he was strugglin
what type of shoes are they wearing?
Nice to choose a workout which you can't perform alright... hahaha, i Lol'd!
Haha, these poor guys are struggling and Rich picks up the bar like it's a water bottle. I bet this is his warmup squat weight. BEAST. MODE.
I'm not hating, but what made these guys think they could beat Rich and Dan😂
i had no clue dave catsro was a navy seal. new to this world. before i thought he was just a jerk instigator. nope, when you were a navy seal you can be whatever you want to be. my bad for assuming something that was wrong. a mans man is dave castro
Wow, that was tough!
and the beer is like dude come on man
If Rich Froning cheered me on... EVER, I would pee my pants in joy.
What were the reps on this workout?
10-8-5-4-2
i agree, lifting on wet concrete???

Talk about getting SMOKED. I wouldn't want that to be me, though I'm sure the same thing would happen lol :-P
LOVE IT!!!
I love dan bailey
how much is this weight?
155#
That's crossfit baby!
Dave's not so bad. He ran the hill with them!
Dat yellow jacket guy.
omg is that castro exercising?????
That's why there is barriers, and they can handle the weight, they're just dropping it instead of lowering it down to waste energy and time. Did you not see how at 6:43 Rich was told to watch out because the guy was doing burpees right behind him and he said "gotcha" and then when he dropped it so it rolled way away from the guy to avoid any unfortunate accidents?
Moral of the story: Don't challenge Rich Froning to Overhead Squats...ever
Dave Castro. 24 second deadlift.
10:00 and that's what Crossfit is all about
good stuff
while he stands around chugging beer
It was all in good fun dude lol chill no one was serious during the entire thing at all except for the guys training.. it was just a good way for people to get active with world class athletes and get some experience and get better....
it seems like a lot of these crossfit guys have bulletproof shoulder joints, impervious to injury.
builds your entire core bro, try it. you'll understand.
Respect!!
It's all in good fun. Castro seems fine. Grow thick skin, if you step up to the plate, get ready to take your lumps!
Amen to that
Everyone shits on Castro but everything he said was all in good fun. And then he also joined them on the run.
at least they were good sports about it
thats great
Everybody is hating on Dave Castro. why?
this is supposed to be a fun and entertaining laid back event.
So I think the teasing he does is quite alright.
The beer is a thing he could have thought about a bit more.
and please people. if you hate on him.... know his name! And not...the dude in the yellow jacket. please!
And that he is running the CF games .... can´t be that douchy huh?
Well Dan did run with them. Hes not an ass. Its tough love. THEY DID CALL THEM OUT AND LOSE.
Glad to see everyone was thinking what I was thinking, that Castro was acting arrogant.
Well least they were all nice enough to do the 'punishment' with the guys.
However you look at it: That's still afterall, Sportsmanship.
crossfit or not, i respect all athletes. But a host for fitness event with beer is wtf.
why would you do squats like that?
i agree with you
Castro's a decent guy - he gives the weaker guy advice when he struggles with the overhead squats. Lighten up, mate! It's just a bit of fun.
everything has the opposite, is there anything called CrossFat?
is castor ever sober?
this is ongoing. castro seems like just cause he practically founded the crossfit games, he runs shit. which, well, technically he does, but he doesn't need to be a dick to the people who challenge two of the fittest people on earth. personally, i would fuckin knock castro out if he was speaking to me like that if i had the chance to go against froning and bailey in a workout. froning and bailey are awesome people, and they are respectful. castro a straight up plug
hey! just go to crossfit.com and they have a TON of workouts! if u ever dont understand a movement, just come back to youtube, type out "crossfit", and then the name of the movement :)
goodness gracious rich froning is delicious lol
Really, man? Just, really? I didn't get that at all. He was telling the obvious truth, and at the same time applauding the courage (and advising, during the workout!) the guys who called them out. The whole event was all in fun, and the competitors knew that. It tells a lot that he ran the "punishment" with them and that he was trying to help Alex out with his overhead squat, but you clearly ignored that part.
Fuck i wonder how long is 5 poles
Cool story bro...
props to devoswtg!
he got a injury there, his shoulder was overforced several times, too much weight
Castro is a top notch host,funny as FUCK
i know!!!
people hate castro but i think he's awesome hahah
good comment...
He probably just wasn't ready to lift heavy things that day...hence the cheesecake. (And he STILL hit a 305# Thruster. Jeez-us.)
What would i chose you ask? Gas Mask Helen.
@Philip Eorgan
You know that dave Castro is a Navy SEAL right? You might not like him but you could at least have some more respect for him.
Rich and Dan, always without the shirts...
k i know nothing about the crossfit community...but why does everyone hate castro?
It is an apple juice.
