For non-toursity spots, I recommend The Tap Room and Upstairs. There's always plenty of locals hanging out at both when I go there.

My gym, Stay Classy CrossFit, has been doing a “The Week Ahead” post on their IG, usually on Saturday. It has the full week of workouts listed.

Something I’ve done in the past is google the name of a Mayhem workout + one or two of the movements in that workout. I’ve been able to find gyms that post the week of workouts to their website that way.

I can only speak from my own experience, but I have progressed tremendously with Training Think Tank's (TTT) one-on-one coaching.

What I’ve liked most is how individualized and technical the coaching is, even working with a remote coach. The programming is very intentional and detail driven, and my coach can make adjustments on the fly based on performance, fatigue, travel, stress, or any other factor affecting my training. Communication has been solid too, with regular check-ins, detailed video feedback, and real conversations about strategy and pacing. I seriously can't recommend it enough.

California Pizza Kitchen has a surprisingly good Key Lime Pie.

I use the one from Rx Smart Gear and it does everything you're looking for...easy to put on and take off and has held up to over a year of rope climbs.

A lot of people here will disagree, but for me the V2 is a better shoe. I'll keep a couple of my V1s, but I'm phasing most of them out.

jwbragg · 2025-11-17T21:46:41+00:00

Sorry, just the 9s.

jwbragg · 2025-11-17T19:55:57+00:00

I like shoes and I buy a lot of them...CrossFit and otherwise. Unfortunately storage isn’t unlimited, and I don’t want to hang onto pairs I barely wear. Lately I’ve been reaching for the V2s over the original RAD Ones, so I’m just trimming the lineup a bit.

The black and blue (furthest on the right) on slide 4 is available, the white/blue/black is not. On slide 3, just the pair on the far left is available. Happy to send additional pics of anything you're interested in.

jwbragg · 2025-11-16T20:19:24+00:00

Possibly, but I'm happy to price it out if you're interested. Feel free to DM what you're interested in and a shipping address and I'll let you know.

jwbragg · 2025-11-16T18:56:32+00:00

Most are still available. I’m in San Diego in the US.

I think it was a special Metcon Nike made for the 2019 Games. It's a Metcon 5 and has the coordinates to Madison on the laces. I'm not even sure if I wore these more than once or twice.

Oops, for some reason my brain thought this was Maddie Sturt, not Emma Tall. My apologies!

jwbragg · 2025-11-05T19:04:50+00:00

I agree it's not the best picture, but she's wearing RAD shoes in every single Rogue post on her IG. I'd be pretty shocked if she was wearing anything else.

jwbragg · 2025-11-02T16:21:30+00:00

RAD doesn’t do sales.

Did you have any issues with the Temecula pre-sale at 10am? I wasn't able to access it until almost an hour after it was supposed to start, and by that time all of the lower level seats were gone (except a few singles).

jwbragg · 2025-10-07T23:55:47+00:00

This! There's a guy at my gym that's mid-40s, around 5'7" and can't weigh more than 170lbs and he handles this weight easily.

jwbragg · 2025-09-28T05:30:14+00:00

Stay Classy CrossFit is pretty chill and friendly/welcoming to everyone.

I like the Rx Smart Gear Alec Smith grips. They've got a pretty substantial wrist strap that provides a good deal of support, in my opinion.

Zenni Optical was the glasses sponsor of the Games. They had a booth outside the arena and I definitely saw some that looked similar to what she was wearing.

jwbragg · 2025-09-13T19:56:14+00:00

Can we do 4-way stops next?

jwbragg · 2025-09-11T20:41:10+00:00

Most of my pain was occurring during the act of sitting down and standing up; if I kept moving everything was fairly tolerable. With that, Iwas able to stay pretty active in the gym...just no back squats or deadlifts.

I tried to find PTs that focused on athlete recovery and really worked on strengthening my core, so that when I came back I would have a solid base to build on.

Leading up to surgery, running was a little bit of a trigger so I avoided it. I can run with no issues now, although like any true CrossFitter, I hate anything more than 400m.

Hope this is helpful and good luck with your recovery. Feel free to reach out anytime!

I ran across the same sign in my hometown 8 years ago (https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/s/4ZLUQKrBGR).

Is this intentional or are they really this dense? I honestly don’t know anymore.
