Dave Castro, Head of Education and Sport, will be programming CrossFit.com workouts from Aug. 14-29, 2023.
Castro started working side-by-side with Nicole Carroll and CrossFit Founder Greg Glassman over 20 years ago to build a world-class cadre of coaches whose expertise makes them unparalleled in the fitness field. He has programmed for every stage of the CrossFit Games, co-directed CrossFit’s world-class Seminar Staff, and created workouts that challenge the best, while remaining infinitely scalable and accessible to all.
“The affiliates and the Seminar team are significant parts of who I am and what matters to me,” Castro said, adding he wants “to give a little more.”
Stay tuned and see what he has in store.

should have pushed the run more
muscle ups
I don't normally follow mainsite anymore but this is definitely something I will scope out. As Dave was talking about Thu & Sun rest days, it reminded me (as well as my body has) that I need to take my rest days seriously.
Love this. I look forward to the changes 😊
Hi Dave can you share with us the template that you use for programming!! Thank you!!!
Hello Luis, i'm not Dave, but he is speaking of the template which you can find in the Book of the L1, which you can download here :-) http://library.crossfit.com/free/pdf/CFJ_English_Level1_TrainingGuide.pdf ... Page 72 :-)
Thank you Fabio! That template on the Level 1 (page 72) is the macro view!! I think Dave is using a template for each work out!
The macro view he all ready explain that it will be 3 on / 1 off / 2 on
Curious to see others take on the micro repeat results. I did repeat workouts for years (chipper workout on Thursday that was repeated for 3 weeks and then we moved to a new workout). Athletes always improved markedly from week 1 to week 2 and slightly from week 2 to week 3 because they "learned" the workout. This wasn't increased fitness, it was figuring out what movements to push on and how transitions worked.
Dave - do you have a way to differentiate increased fitness from "learning" the workout? Super-simple workouts?
I was just going to say you would already know the workout . I don't think you can change your fitness in less than 2 week.
Let me paraphrase Coach G: "If you decrease your time on fran, you have increased your fitness, no ifs and or buts about it."
Relatedly, in CF "Fitness" is a ten-modal model and one of the components is "coordination" - The ability to quickly transition from one movement to another.
I suspect you are confusing "fitness" with aerobic capacity or strength, there is a lot more to it than that.
Dave - this is great
Funny how I'm already dreading the wall-walk take on Diane. Is this some sort of psychological warfare?
But, seriously looking forward to the scholarly breaks on rest days.
"Now this is the point. You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing."
Awesome. I’ve been off and on mainsite for a lot of years now. Whenever I need a reset or just some baseline fitness, I jump on mainsite for a while. I also use it to rehab from injuries oddly enough. I’ve recently had a knee injury and I just scale everything back to the most I can manage even if that is body weight squats to a tall box instead of back squats. It’s worked wonders for me in the past and this time is working well too. I’m 4 weeks out from a nasty pop and I’m feeling great and getting strength and ROM back. Kind of stoked about this and kind of not. I love the mystery around mainsite so taking a little bit away kinda sucks, but I’m stoked to try something new too. Also, excited for Chuck to program for some reason. He’s always been mysterious, so stoked about that.
Thank you for the video Dave (and Matt, I'm assuming) and for taking the time to keep us in the loop of what is going on behind the scenes!
