Anyone know a rough formula for comparing barbell weightings to dumbbells?

As a general rule of thumb, you will be able to lift anywhere from 15-25% more weight with a barbell than a dumbbell.

Was hoping to hit a new one today but couldn't get there. Mental hurdles towards those heavy weights.

"I did not feel he was the right fit to build this collaborative leadership role for the sports team going forwards."
Does Rosa know that the dissent isn't from Dave Castro getting removed from his "role for the sports team?" It's from him getting removed from the entire freaking organization! You could probably make Castro the Head of Janitorial Advancement at CrossFit and he'd find a way to make a huge impact for HQ.
I'm not an insider by any means, and I understand typing on a computer probably won't have much of an impact, but this incident really has me thinking. Like, what kind of "collaboration" is expected? If Kobe Bryant doesn't want to collaborate with Smush Parker, it's not Kobe's fault! Get better at what you do then he'll probably want to collaborate with you.

Ditto. What more could Dave have done with the games over the past 15 years? The Covid games 2 years ago were fantastic under the circumstances. The main site workouts are still good and CF’s fundamental approach to fitness is sound, but I just have a bad feeling that the organization is killing off that which made it what it is.

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
Nothing to rant about
WORKOUT THEMES
Short and heavy. High output followed by long rest. Jumping with really heavy weight.
ASSUMED
Your clean technique is good enough for there to be a difference between 5, 3, and 1 reps
MAIN DECISION
Am I feeling good enough to hit a pr on 1, or do I need to put more energy into the 5's and 3's?
TECHNIQUE SCALE
Same format, do like 10 or 15 reps per round
CONSISTENCY SCALE
Dame format, but do deadlifts instead. (practice box jumps/power cleans in the warmup)
INTENSITY SCALE
Short burpee or sprint set before each lifting set.
MY STUFF
Didn't get to this in time, so I did a modified Barbara.
