Weight Courtesy
I’ve had a few comments from some of our members and think it’s time to officially establish a new courtesy rule at CrossFit Edmonton. It comes in regard to putting your weights away after the workouts.
We have an amazing community of people who are very courteous and ALWAYS put their weights away after their workout is finished. So courteous in fact that they’ll start to put the weights away IMMEDIATELY after they finishing the WOD. I’d like to change the focus of courtesy away from the facilities cleanliness and put it towards your fellow Crossfitter.
If you’ve ever been one of the lucky souls to be finishing last in a workout, you know what it feels like when everyone is cleaning up around you and you’re still struggling to workout. It just straight sucks! If you haven’t had this luck, then please take my word and know that it’s not only annoying but deflating of your intensity to finish.
So, from this date forward I’d like to establish a rule of WAITING to put your weights away until EVERYONE IS FINISHED. If you’re so fast a feel you need something to do, take that opportunity to provide encouragement for your fellow Crossfitter and help them finish rather than trying to clean up around them.
This is our official rule enforcer!
good point
love the scoreboard
grinder 135
wod 9:32 rx’d, focused on intensity, shortened the breaks 5 sec max
The Enforcer looks as if he may be easy to buy off.
Or that he may already have been bought off.
Thank you for this, Chad-needed to be said.
Awesome mama’s class today! Good intensity and great effort by everyone

PR on Jackie but got DQ’d by, as Paul said, ” The Russian Judge”!
Thrusters too shallow.
and a big thanks to those who have put away my weights because I am still writing in pain on the floor!! That is always a nice gesture too!
I always like to have encouraging support while finishing a WOD!
All I need at times is a simple “lets go Chad” to help me finish. But cleaning up around me can make my Kettlebell want to ‘slip out of my hands accidentally in your direction’…
Just kidding… sort of.
Great Rule – I finished last many a times and although it doesn’t bother me so much… I could see where it can be deflating. I also like those encouraging words at the end too…it sure does help!!
GREAT Mama’s Class today…Lots of fun always !!
left me feeling a little pukie for an hour…
I was happy with the thrusters today…
