Open registration starts tomorrow.
0:06
Why do you do the open?
0:20
I love the chase and the hunt and
0:22
I set the pace when I'm running.
0:23
I always take what I want and I
0:25
always give it one hundred.
0:26
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
0:28
Play the game like it's nothing.
0:29
I'm always thankful for something.
0:31
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
0:32
Now wake up!
0:34
It's time to look at the enemy.
0:36
Look in the mirror if he is no
0:38
friend to me.
0:39
It's not working out,
0:40
maybe it's the chemistry.
0:41
It's time to break up so I can
0:43
make a better me.
0:44
It's lunch time!
0:49

1:03
in the house today giddy up giddy up
1:08
what's up y'all um joseph ramirez yelling
1:12
out lunchtime uh i have to say
1:16
I caught Joseph in a behind-the-scenes
1:19
video.
1:20
Oh.
1:21
Episode three.
1:25
Now that I've met Joseph and I know
1:26
who he is.
1:27
It helps.
1:29
I'm hanging out at the arena talking to
1:32
some people down on the floor.
1:34
And he was captured in the
1:37
behind-the-scenes video.
1:40
By captured, we mean on video.
1:42
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:45
We're not talking about ice or anything
1:47
like that on this show.
1:47
No, no, no.
1:53
Joseph got some camera time.
1:54
Good deal.
1:57
He was wearing a Dave Castro shirt.
1:59
The person he was with was wearing a
2:01
CEO shirt.
2:04
I think Dave was more saying one of
2:06
them has good taste,
2:07
one of them not so much.
2:10
Uh-oh.
2:14
Joseph says,
2:15
I wasn't doing anything illegal, I hope.
2:20
I also hope you weren't doing anything
2:24
illegal.
2:24
He also says, before I start,
2:25
I want to say the Steelers suck and
2:27
Tomlin needs to go now.
2:30
Why you got to start me off on
2:31
a riff?
2:32
Like, I am not a Steeler fan.
2:33
My wife is, my family are,
2:35
like everybody around me are Steeler fans.
2:38
They're the most spoiled group of fans
2:41
I've ever seen in my life.
2:43
They have not had a losing season since
2:45
like twenty two thousand two,
2:47
something like that.
2:49
They've won six Super Bowls.
2:51
They are in the playoffs all the time.
2:54
You and I root for teams that don't
2:56
see that kind of success ever.
2:58
Right.
2:59
And they're so spoiled that like,
3:02
let's fire the coach that actually gets
3:05
more out of our players than than they
3:08
should be putting out there.
3:11
but it's not good enough for us,
3:13
the Pittsburghers, the Yinzers,
3:16
all of that.
3:17
Let's fire them.
3:21
Try being a Saints fan.
3:23
Try being a Saints fan for most of
3:25
your life.
3:28
Tell me how that, like,
3:29
and then report back later on.
3:31
Like, through the paper bag years,
3:32
whenever people show up to games wearing a
3:34
paper bag on their head because they
3:35
didn't want to be seen actually being
3:37
there trying to support the team.
3:39
Try that out.
3:40
Let me know how that works out.
3:43
Yeah,
3:44
Bears and Saints fans each have a Super
3:46
Bowl each.
3:47
One.
3:48
Uno.
3:50
We've had some really shitty seasons
3:53
around all that.
3:55
Bengals fans, too,
3:56
but they don't even have one,
3:57
so we can't lump Andrew in with us
3:59
because they have a big goose egg.
4:04
They've been to three.
4:06
They just lost them all.
4:08
But yeah, Steelers fans are spoiled.
4:13
They spoiled with all the success they've
4:14
had.
4:18
Crazy.
4:20
Larry Young says, how about them Texans?
4:22
That defense is legit.
4:25
They put on a show last night.
4:30
Never should have went to Tennessee.
4:32
They should still be the Houston Oilers.
4:36
So not having a losing season doesn't mean
4:38
you're doing anything mediocre at best for
4:41
a while now.
4:42
Yeah, but if you look at the analytics,
4:45
Mike Tomlin's wins over expectation are in
4:50
the positive every single year.
4:53
Every single year.
4:57
Dude, we would have taken Mike Tomlin.
4:59
Right.
4:59
It's not Mike Tomlin.
5:01
It's the people getting the talent.
5:03
They haven't had a quarterback yet.
5:06
You can't keep putting Duck Hodges out
5:09
there and Mason Rudolph and a
5:12
forty-two-year-old Aaron Rodgers and think
5:14
you're going to win games in the playoffs.
5:16
You're just not.
5:18
I'll put it like this.
5:19
I don't even know who those other two
5:20
guys you said are.
5:21
I know who Aaron Rodgers is.
5:23
Exactly.
5:24
If you would have got Aaron Rodgers in
5:26
twenty seventeen, you'd have a shot.
5:28
Yeah.
5:30
But when he has his walker out and
5:33
you have to avoid that from the center
5:36
so he can get back into position.
5:38
Like,
5:39
I feel like you made the first two
5:40
names up because I was like,
5:41
Duck Dodgers in the twenty fifth and a
5:42
half century from Looney Tunes back in the
5:47
day is the first thing I remember you
5:48
said that.
5:50
So what Duck Hodges is most famous for
5:52
now is he is married to Laney Wilson.
5:54
Oh, yeah.
5:58
Louisiana girl.
5:58
Good for him.
5:59
Yeah.
6:00
So they, he, yeah, he got,
6:04
he got a little bit of playing time
6:05
one year in the NFL and I think
6:08
he makes duck calls.
6:10
So that's the name.
6:12
Duck Hodges.
6:12
Got it.
6:13
Got it.
6:16
Just, if you always derail the show, man,
6:18
I just need someone to blame.
6:20
Actually, every time Corey's on,
6:21
we derail and that's kind of the plan.
6:23
So I just need someone in chat to
6:25
blame.
6:27
Not a big deal.
6:35
Sorry.
6:36
Okay.
6:37
We got a little bit of talk things
6:39
to talk about today.
6:42
Let's talk about Hiller's video on
6:44
Achilles injuries.
6:46
And the reason I want to bring this
6:47
up is it came out as members only
6:51
late Sunday night right before we went on
6:53
the air.
6:54
And I speculated why we have all the
6:56
Achilles tears.
6:58
And I said it was performance enhancing
7:00
drugs.
7:04
All right.
7:05
I've actually thought that for more than a
7:07
decade that we are by using the
7:11
performance enhancing drugs,
7:12
we're growing the muscles bigger than the
7:14
tendons and ligaments can support.
7:17
Got it.
7:18
They just want to do that.
7:20
Right.
7:20
Right.
7:21
Solid theory.
7:22
Hiller's video had nothing to do with PEDs
7:25
for a change.
7:26
It was not a natty or not.
7:28
It was none of that stuff.
7:31
It was more about the overcompensation and
7:35
imbalances that people have in their body.
7:39
and how if not corrected,
7:41
it puts you in a position where you're
7:43
using the muscles and the tendons and the
7:46
ligaments in ways that they weren't meant
7:48
to be used.
7:49
And then because of that,
7:51
the ligaments and tendons give out.
7:55
For the people out there listening,
7:56
if you have not watched it yet,
7:58
I highly recommend taking the time and go
8:00
and sit down and watch it because first
8:03
of all,
8:04
it's a really well put together video,
8:06
shout out to Hiller.
8:07
And secondly, like,
8:08
Holy smokes.
8:10
You pick up a whole lot of information
8:11
that you did not have before regarding
8:14
injuries in general,
8:15
not necessarily just Achilles,
8:18
but just the stuff that dude was saying,
8:19
like you said,
8:19
about overcompensating from one spot to
8:22
another and being able to look at somebody
8:24
and look at their calves and look how
8:25
they're moving.
8:26
Whenever Bill was in the pool and he
8:29
was watching, he's like, good, bad, good,
8:31
bad, good, bad, every single time,
8:33
on every single stroke.
8:35
And it's because...
8:38
People are probably naturally unbalanced,
8:40
but you have to take work to be
8:42
able to get everything moving like it
8:43
should.
8:44
And then once it's there, you're good.
8:48
You're going to move a whole lot faster.
8:49
You're going to be able to pick stuff
8:51
up, put it down a whole lot faster,
8:53
probably lift heavier,
8:54
like all the good stuff.
8:55
But most people just...
8:58
ignore it.
9:02
Yeah.
9:02
I think that's my whole life coaches from
9:06
like my swimming days, my football days,
9:08
my lifting days to even more recently
9:11
CrossFit days,
9:12
every coach that I've had has been,
9:14
you know, if, if,
9:15
If you're doing something on the left,
9:17
make sure you do it equal amounts on
9:19
the right so that you are balanced, right?
9:21
And that's the simplest way to look at
9:23
things.
9:24
But what kind of blew me away in
9:27
this video was that Bill was
9:31
overcompensating before the injury.
9:34
Right.
9:35
Like,
9:36
he went back and looked at film and
9:38
footage of Bill doing workouts and then
9:41
noticed he had been overcompensating for
9:43
years before the Achilles tear.
9:46
And then he strongly believes that's
9:48
what's caused the Achilles tear.
9:50
And now they've got to correct those
9:52
movement patterns to prevent it from
9:55
happening again.
9:57
Which is not an easy thing to do.
9:59
No.
10:01
No, no, no.
10:01
Especially after years of doing it one
10:03
way, trying to teach yourself.
10:05
So that actually gives me a better
10:07
understanding of why Bill may not have
10:10
performed as well at the games this year.
10:13
Because not only is he coming back from
10:15
an Achilles tear,
10:17
but he's relearning all these movements.
10:21
And just like anything,
10:23
if you watch a football game,
10:24
when you're new to an offense,
10:26
you have to think too much and you're
10:28
slower.
10:30
Yep.
10:30
Right.
10:31
What am I supposed to do?
10:32
Where the thought process leaves and you
10:34
just do,
10:36
but he can't do that until he corrects
10:38
these movements.
10:39
Yeah.
10:44
Um, knowing Bill, he's in,
10:47
he works incredibly hard and he is really
10:49
actually pretty darn smart in and of
10:52
itself.
10:52
So, um,
10:55
he's probably taking it to heart like a
10:56
whole lot more because I'm sure he does
10:58
not want that to happen again.
11:02
And we're really focused in,
11:04
really super laser focused in on like,
11:06
we're not going to let this happen again.
11:08
Trust in this dude.
11:10
He's going to get me straight to where
11:11
when I go back,
11:12
I can be not just at the games,
11:14
be competitive at the games and try to
11:15
get himself up into that position he wants
11:17
to be in.
11:18
The sign on his wall is still there.
11:19
CrossFit Games champion.
11:21
Like that's his ultimate goal.
11:23
Always has been.
11:25
oh if you didn't watch the video the
11:28
one example the the the doctor of
11:31
chiropractic used he he's more than that i
11:34
hate calling a chiropractor because he's
11:36
not just cracking bills back he's actually
11:38
like doing analysis and like body movement
11:42
and loosening up and like he does a
11:44
lot of body work um but he said
11:48
that like when he squats his one foot
11:51
would drop
11:53
Yeah.
11:53
Every time he scored,
11:54
he would get to the bottom of a
11:56
squat and it would create an imbalance and
11:59
they had to get that corrected.
12:01
And that, I mean,
12:02
squat is like the most foundational
12:07
movement
12:08
in crossfit and if that's off everything
12:11
else is everything else is off so that
12:13
was hilarious to me because uh it's
12:16
hillary demist so he was squatting four
12:19
ninety on one leg and he was like
12:21
yeah essentially which is terrifying if
12:24
you think about it like he's strong enough
12:28
that that one side is is basically holding
12:30
him up enough right i mean both sides
12:33
are working but one side's working way
12:35
harder
12:36
to squat damn near five hundred pounds on
12:40
one side.
12:41
It's wild.
12:43
Chad Anufi says the forty-niners should
12:45
hire that guy.
12:46
If you don't follow football,
12:48
the forty-niners have had a ton of
12:50
injuries this year.
12:52
Just a ton.
12:53
And a lot of them are soft tissue
12:55
or ligament or... Right.
12:58
So... Now in football,
13:01
you are forced by another large human
13:03
being to be in positions that you can't
13:05
control.
13:11
violently yes uh shannon amazing how the
13:16
body can compensate it is it's one of
13:20
the things he was saying like if you
13:22
teach it long enough that this is what
13:24
we're doing and the body just goes oh
13:25
okay cool that is what we're doing it
13:27
doesn't matter if it's awkward or if it's
13:30
whatever the case may be like a habit
13:32
is a habit it just becomes what's normal
13:35
at that point
13:38
Right,
13:38
but if you put a smaller tire on
13:43
one of your four wheels of your car,
13:47
it'll still run and it'll still steer,
13:50
but eventually it's going to jack things
13:52
up.
13:54
Yeah,
13:54
sooner or later you're going to have a
13:55
crash.
13:56
Yeah.
13:57
Or the wheel will fall off.
13:59
Yeah.
13:59
Yeah.
14:01
Yeah.
14:02
Great, great video.
14:03
And it really thought provoking.
14:04
I love when people make me think.
14:07
And it's bad because when I was swimming
14:10
competitively a lot, you know,
14:13
and I swam distance,
14:14
we were trained to breathe on the opposite
14:16
side, like every third stroke.
14:20
So, you know, breathe left, three strokes,
14:23
breathe right.
14:24
And that actually keeps your body more
14:29
balanced, right?
14:33
If you breathe to one side too much,
14:35
you start to limp in the water is
14:37
what we would call it.
14:39
And because of that, it gets hairy.
14:43
That's the case.
14:44
I limp every single time I swim because
14:46
I only breathe to one side for most
14:48
of all intents and purposes.
14:50
CJ, I know cars can't compensate.
14:52
I was just trying to have a fun
14:54
analogy to the process.
14:59
Yeah.
15:00
So yeah, so that's that.
15:05
Before I get too far into this,
15:09
you know what makes me feel like this?
15:11
Where is my super suit?
15:16
Third Z. Third Z, baby.
15:19
When I take my third Z,
15:20
I wake up feeling like Frozone.
15:25
My super suit is on.
15:26
I can attack the day.
15:27
I can do the stuff.
15:30
And you can get yours at thirdsy.com
15:32
backslash Jazzy or go to thirdsy.com and
15:37
type in the promo code Jazzy.
15:38
Get fifteen percent off at at checkout.
15:44
I did find out that they are now
15:47
out of the salted caramel and it was
15:50
a limited release for
15:52
Oh, no.
15:53
They are out of the salted caramel.
15:58
Well, that's news.
16:01
Yeah.
16:02
So right now it's just hungry lemonade.
16:04
We'll have to see if they come out
16:08
with some new flavors.
16:09
I know they do that periodically.
16:13
I'm in.
16:15
I probably got twenty servings left of my
16:17
second bag of salted caramel.
16:20
Well, damn, that's sad news.
16:27
So, so yeah, it works, man.
16:32
And to me,
16:34
I can do a shot of flavor of
16:36
anything if it's going to help me sleep.
16:39
So I'm cool with that.
16:42
If I pay attention,
16:44
like last night is a perfect example.
16:46
Drank it.
16:47
We put James in the bed.
16:48
We sat on the couch for a couple
16:49
minutes watching TV or whatnot.
16:51
And as soon as I find myself like
16:54
doing that on the couch,
16:56
just kind of drooping off or whatnot,
16:58
get up and go to bed.
17:00
Dude, I had incredible sleep last night.
17:05
Andrew Sten says,
17:06
Thirdsy gives me wild dreams.
17:09
Your REM sleep gets better,
17:10
and then you're sleeping deeper,
17:13
so you get like those wild dreams.
17:15
It's actually kind of cool.
17:17
It's very vivid.
17:18
Like I wake up remembering, remembering.
17:22
Yeah, I've had some bananas one.
17:24
Oh, yeah, I know, CJ.
17:28
Bad on TV.
17:32
Vicky says it's a sad day for Corey.
17:35
I really do like that salted caramel.
17:37
I do too.
17:38
I love like heating it up a little
17:40
bit of milk.
17:42
Yeah.
17:43
It's super good.
17:46
So, but make sure you check that out.
17:47
Thirdsy.com backslash, backslash Jazzy.
17:51
So with that, the open,
17:53
the open registration is tomorrow.
17:56
Let's go.
17:57
When was your first open?
17:59
My first open was in two thousand and
18:01
nineteen.
18:02
The year we had to do it.
18:06
Honestly,
18:07
because everybody else at the gym was
18:08
doing it.
18:09
And once I found out what it was,
18:11
I wanted to participate because I wanted
18:12
to test myself against everybody else that
18:15
was doing it and see where I stacked
18:17
up.
18:18
Probably was wildly overconfident at the
18:20
time, if I had to guess.
18:22
Like, oh yeah,
18:23
this is going to be fantastic.
18:24
And it's a gut check whenever you actually
18:26
see it.
18:27
and go oh okay thankfully i had uh
18:32
bernard wags back there um to kind of
18:35
say hey you're a masters athlete these are
18:38
the people you need to actually be
18:39
comparing yourself to not the rest of
18:42
these people out here and kind of get
18:44
me steered uh back on track to you
18:47
know realize that yeah i'm competitive and
18:49
i should absolutely is that a polite way
18:52
to say you're you're just old corey
18:55
and uh i mean you can call it
18:56
what you want i'll say this dude but
19:00
this and i he it's another piece of
19:02
wisdom from uh from mr wags back there
19:05
was me and we had a partner workout
19:07
on our thursday night i'll never forget
19:09
this and i had two young kids and
19:11
my young kids i mean like nineteen twenty
19:13
years old super fit right um and they
19:17
beat us by like
19:20
know five reps at the end of it
19:21
between me and uh my other friend aaron
19:25
and uh but i said yeah but he
19:29
said if they beat y'all they beat two
19:31
old guys and if they lost to y'all
19:34
then they lost to two old guys like
19:36
you really can't lose when it comes to
19:38
like that kind of stuff in a masters
19:40
uh being a masters athlete because yeah um
19:46
my first one was twenty thirteen
19:49
I've only missed one open since.
19:54
And I did it because I had two
19:57
friends that we hung out all the time,
19:59
still do today.
20:01
And they said, hey, let's try it.
20:04
And they are,
20:05
they were fitter than I was,
20:06
I was stronger than them,
20:07
but they were fitter than me.
20:09
And,
20:11
and I just came off like a two
20:12
hundred pound weight loss.
20:14
And my confidence was not over like yours.
20:17
Mine was way under.
20:19
I didn't think I was going to cause
20:20
back then there was no scaled.
20:22
There was no foundations.
20:23
There was no out.
20:25
It was RX or nothing.
20:26
Right.
20:27
And, uh,
20:29
and it was one of the greatest experiences
20:31
of my life.
20:33
Um, we didn't,
20:35
we were in the process of affiliation,
20:37
but it hadn't gone through yet.
20:39
So we had to videotape everything.
20:42
The gym members would come in and they
20:44
would,
20:45
they would set up the videos for us.
20:46
They would do all the work for us.
20:49
Um,
20:49
and then they would cheer us on
20:50
afterwards.
20:51
And then back in those days, you know,
20:54
they would roll in a cooler,
20:55
a beer for afterwards and everybody would
20:58
hang out.
20:58
And, and that was the five week open,
21:00
uh,
21:01
No scaled, no foundations, all RX.
21:04
It was just a different world.
21:06
And there are still videos out there of
21:09
me attempting some of the movements that I
21:11
didn't have in my tool belt at the
21:13
time for lengthy periods of time,
21:16
attempting and attempting.
21:19
But that's what's cool.
21:20
That was what was cool about it.
21:21
I didn't have those movements,
21:23
but that forced me to try.
21:26
It forced me out of my comfort zone
21:29
to get up on that pull-up bar and
21:32
try a chest-to-bar or try a toes-to-bar.
21:36
Those are two things I didn't have in
21:37
that first Open.
21:39
And then God help you if you got
21:41
one,
21:41
because I don't know about at your gym,
21:43
but we had some people get one not
21:45
the last year, but the year before last.
21:47
My buddy Ethan got his first chest-to-bar
21:49
during the Open,
21:50
and you would have thought somebody just
21:51
won the lottery.
21:53
Oh, I know.
21:55
screaming, yelling, you know, and then,
21:58
okay, he's still got time.
21:59
Like, let's go.
22:00
Let's get another one.
22:01
Three and four.
22:02
Let's go.
22:02
Yeah.
22:03
Yeah.
22:05
Like we'll celebrate for, for, for, for,
22:06
for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for,
22:08
for, for, I've seen first muscle ups.
22:09
I've seen first ring muscle ups.
22:12
I've seen first double unders.
22:14
I've seen all that kind of stuff.
22:16
It is so awesome.
22:19
One of the funniest stories is,
22:21
so we had the rig with the top
22:22
and the bottom bar.
22:24
And I did a toes to the second
22:26
bar.
22:27
But I didn't get the one I was
22:29
holding on to.
22:33
And I lost my shit in the moment.
22:36
And then the judge was like, sorry,
22:38
no rep.
22:42
Yeah.
22:42
You can't just pick any bar on the
22:43
rig to hit your toes to.
22:45
It has to be the one you're actually
22:46
holding on to.
22:48
Although, if Dave's listening...
22:52
wouldn't be the worst idea i've ever heard
22:53
of it'd be interesting to say at least
22:55
toes to the second bar toes to the
22:57
second bar hundred percent that's actually
23:00
some grid league let's not let's not even
23:02
let's not actually do that let's move on
23:04
oh it's magic
23:06
It's the open magic, right?
23:07
I got my first bar muscle up the
23:09
day before we had,
23:13
it was the snatches and burpees and in
23:20
three minutes rest and in snatches and bar
23:23
muscle ups or burpees and bar muscle ups.
23:26
And my first bar muscle up the day
23:27
before that,
23:28
you probably heard me scream from wherever
23:30
you were because I had yelled like I,
23:33
And then did the workout on Friday,
23:36
did not get a single bar muscle up,
23:38
redid it on Monday and got either six
23:40
or nine, something like that.
23:43
Like it's ridiculous, dude.
23:45
Yeah.
23:47
Again,
23:47
everything you just get forced outside
23:49
your comfort zone and that you need to
23:52
do things that are uncomfortable
23:53
sometimes.
23:55
That's what makes you better in life.
23:59
You don't avoid the uncomfortable,
24:01
you embrace it and you attack it.
24:04
And that's what the open gives us every
24:06
single year.
24:08
Lean in.
24:09
You can complain about the simplicity of
24:12
it or that it's not what it used
24:14
to be.
24:15
It's still that thing that makes your
24:18
heart race every night,
24:20
every Thursday night or Thursday afternoon
24:21
when they released the announcement.
24:24
It's still that thing that you can't sleep
24:26
the night before.
24:27
You got to go into the gym and
24:28
somehow try to perform it.
24:31
And nothing else does that during the
24:33
year.
24:34
Everything else is just a workout.
24:38
And one time a year,
24:39
you need that thing that kicks you in
24:42
the ass and says,
24:44
you're going to be uncomfortable for three
24:46
weeks.
24:48
And if you're one of the twenty five
24:49
percent that are the best in the world,
24:51
we're going to be uncomfortable another
24:53
weekend of four events or five events.
24:58
And that there's a beauty to that.
25:02
And no going in and going against your
25:05
friend where nobody's really watching and
25:07
you don't have to post a score.
25:10
Nothing else does that.
25:11
It's during the open where all that
25:13
happens.
25:16
Your average Thursday night,
25:17
five thirty class is one thing,
25:19
but the open score is forever.
25:22
It is.
25:24
Period.
25:24
End of story.
25:26
And that's why you should sign up.
25:28
Yeah.
25:30
because everybody needs to be
25:32
uncomfortable periodically.
25:35
Everybody needs to be uncomfortable
25:36
periodically.
25:37
Everybody needs to participate on more
25:40
than just a,
25:41
I showed up for class level at their
25:43
box, right?
25:48
Ninety percent of the times people roll
25:50
in, it's Tuesday, did the workout,
25:53
talked to some people, whatever,
25:54
went on back to their house.
25:56
If your gym is putting on some sort
25:59
of Friday night lights, show up.
26:03
Be a part of it.
26:04
It's fun.
26:06
You're going to get to watch everybody
26:07
else go.
26:08
You're going to get to go.
26:09
Maybe you'll be in the first heat.
26:10
Maybe you'll be in the last heat,
26:11
but you're still going to be people there
26:13
screaming at you to go pick up the
26:15
bar, jump on the rig.
26:16
Come on, let's move.
26:17
Get up the entire time.
26:20
That's how it is at my gym.
26:21
Like we are,
26:23
I can't talk generally for all three
26:26
weekends after Friday night lights,
26:28
like Saturday and Sunday,
26:29
my voice is shot to shit because I'm
26:30
screaming at everybody.
26:33
And you never know what's going to happen.
26:35
One day I walked into CrossFit Polaris.
26:37
I went to do the open workout that
26:39
was deadlifts and burpees.
26:41
What was that?
26:41
Twenty three, twenty, twenty three,
26:43
twenty four, twenty.
26:47
Oh, God, Lord.
26:48
Twenty three point two.
26:50
Maybe I go I go in a mind
26:52
of my own business.
26:53
I'm doing my deadlifts.
26:54
I'm doing my burpees.
26:56
I get up to do the next set
26:57
up.
26:57
And it was like what?
26:59
Like one, two, three, four, five or.
27:02
And then it went back down.
27:03
Yeah, to ten and back down.
27:04
And I go to get,
27:05
I'm up in like that ten range.
27:08
And I'm,
27:08
my hands on my knees trying to catch
27:10
my breath so I can do the deadlift.
27:13
And Sam Briggs starts yelling at me.
27:15
And I didn't even know she was there.
27:18
She's yelling in my face.
27:20
Why is this English chick yelling at me?
27:28
And if Sam Briggs yells in your face
27:30
that you need to do something,
27:32
you freaking pick up the bar.
27:34
You absolutely pick up the bar.
27:37
I love that story.
27:38
And what was awesome is when it's all
27:40
over and she's done yelling at me and
27:42
I'm dead on the floor,
27:44
she comes over and goes,
27:45
I'd like to apologize.
27:49
No, you're not apologizing.
27:51
You knew what you were doing the whole
27:53
damn time.
27:57
It was my favorite thing to ever.
28:00
I same favorite the first year I did
28:02
the open and it was the first workout
28:04
was burpees to six inches and and snatches
28:11
increasing weight.
28:14
the fun that me and my buddies had
28:16
that first open workout trying to snatch
28:20
weight.
28:20
We've never tried before.
28:23
Um, the night before trying to,
28:24
it was the worst English accent ever.
28:27
You're right.
28:28
I should be ashamed of myself.
28:31
Um, it was like half Indian, half Asian.
28:34
I don't even know what I was doing.
28:36
Um,
28:36
but the fun that me and my buddies
28:38
had that first ever workout,
28:40
even Sam Briggs yelling at me,
28:41
can't top that.
28:42
Yeah.
28:45
I clearly remember nineteen point one to
28:48
rowing in ball balls.
28:49
Nineteen calories in a row or nineteen
28:51
more balls just on and on and on
28:53
and on.
28:54
After I don't remember how many rounds it
28:57
was,
28:57
but at some point I got tunnel vision
29:01
and like your body's just in just movement
29:04
mode.
29:04
Right.
29:05
So I couldn't see I could hear the
29:08
music.
29:09
I could hear Sarah counting because she
29:12
was judging me.
29:13
And I could hear one person yelling at
29:15
me, my buddy,
29:19
Oh, good Lord.
29:21
Anyway,
29:22
one person yelled at me out of all
29:23
the other voices that were there,
29:25
like his was the only one I could
29:26
hear.
29:27
And like,
29:27
I couldn't see anything else when he and
29:30
Cecil yelled time,
29:31
I fell off the roller with like one
29:32
foot still strapped into the,
29:34
to it and whatnot.
29:35
And he was like, stop being dramatic.
29:36
And I was like,
29:37
I'm not being dramatic dog.
29:38
I'm about to die.
29:41
This is not good.
29:43
John George, that was a brutal one.
29:45
I was catching one-thirty-five snatches on
29:46
my knees.
29:47
They counted.
29:48
Back in those days,
29:50
catching on the knee counted.
29:51
If you could stand it up.
29:53
Yeah.
29:55
Calls in CrossFit.
29:57
Not anymore,
29:58
but it did for a brief time until
30:01
like the twenty-fourteen games,
30:02
twenty-fifteen games.
30:03
Lauren Brooks famously caught the snatch
30:06
on her knee and stood it up,
30:07
and then after that, they outlawed it.
30:08
Yeah, they wanted to do another one.
30:12
Is it toe-to-bar or toes-to-bar?
30:15
If you're Dave Castro, it's toe-to-bar.
30:19
I'm going to default to Dave.
30:20
But I have ten of them,
30:22
so I'm going to say it's – and
30:24
you can't just hit one toe to the
30:26
bar because you have to hit with both
30:28
feet simultaneously.
30:30
So you have to at least hit with
30:31
two.
30:33
So then it's toes-to-bar.
30:35
I generally hit with two.
30:38
My two big toes is what normally makes
30:39
contact with the board.
30:40
I don't think I've ever hit my pinky
30:43
toe on the bar while doing toe-to-bar.
30:45
I'm one of those people where the second
30:46
toe is bigger than my big toe.
30:50
Yeah, I don't have that problem.
30:55
Toes or laces?
30:56
What are we talking about?
30:57
So when you hit the bar,
30:58
do you actually hit with your toes or
31:00
the laces of your shoe?
31:02
It depends on my level of fatigue.
31:04
Okay.
31:06
True that.
31:08
I'm going to be completely honest with
31:09
you.
31:10
It really depends on my level of fatigue.
31:14
Straight up.
31:16
Yeah.
31:17
So I have a meeting at one o'clock,
31:18
so I'm going to have to pick up
31:19
the pace a little bit here.
31:24
Scott,
31:25
did you know about that overhead squat
31:26
standard that Seth Jumpship posted about?
31:29
I was convinced you could do them with
31:31
bent elbows.
31:33
I didn't see Seth's video.
31:36
He put up a picture of somebody doing
31:38
overhead squats and was like,
31:40
do these count?
31:42
It's just like five of them or something
31:44
like that.
31:46
And the dude's arms were like this the
31:49
whole time.
31:50
So like I voted, it's like,
31:52
none of them count because you need to
31:54
be here, not there.
31:56
And Andrew Stenek can correct me if I'm
31:58
wrong.
31:58
My,
31:59
what I've always been taught in judging
32:00
standard is as long as the bar does
32:03
not touch the top of the head or
32:05
fall below the top of the head,
32:07
it is a good rep.
32:08
But again,
32:09
it's going to depend on the standard of
32:11
that competition and the standard that
32:14
your gym holds you to.
32:16
Right.
32:18
So like,
32:21
Right.
32:21
There's Andrew.
32:22
He depends on the standard given by the
32:24
competition.
32:26
Yeah.
32:26
A lot of standards did not even address
32:31
the elbows.
32:32
It is the barb remaining above the head
32:35
through the squat.
32:36
But if you're squatting heavy weight
32:38
overhead and you have bent elbows,
32:40
your chances of success are very low.
32:44
Slim to none, I would say.
32:46
Yeah.
32:51
um yeah andrewston i agree with scott if
32:56
it's above the head it counts it's just
32:58
harder if your arms are bent yeah i
33:04
can't imagine trying to overhead squat
33:05
like this like this would this is not
33:07
a
33:11
It's crazy.
33:11
All right, a couple quick hit notes.
33:14
Sahir Khaya decided to retire.
33:16
Saw that.
33:16
She's competing competitively.
33:19
Great athlete actually brought attention
33:21
to the Asian women where she actually
33:24
could compete with the Games athletes and
33:27
gave her and Shung Young Choi gave Asia
33:31
actually credibility as a region for that.
33:36
In addition to that, Belites,
33:38
I think is how it's pronounced,
33:40
is coming back as the apparel sponsor of
33:44
the CrossFit Games.
33:45
And it looks like grips and apparel.
33:50
Okay.
33:54
I've never used their grips.
33:55
I mean,
33:57
I know some people that have their apparel
33:58
from the games actually seem to be pretty
34:02
nice.
34:03
Like we were talking about before we went
34:04
online,
34:04
the only thing I would request is more
34:06
color.
34:07
Mr. Velites, man,
34:08
if you are watching this today,
34:10
give us some bright colors.
34:13
Give us some bright colors.
34:14
Bring back two thousand and twelve.
34:16
It is a real sponsor to the real
34:18
keeps running on my other screen.
34:22
It is rope as well.
34:25
So it looks like it's apparel, grips,
34:27
and ropes.
34:28
I actually have one of their ropes.
34:30
I have a heavy rope from them that
34:32
I bought from Monster Games.
34:35
It spins pretty well,
34:37
but all I have is the heavy rope
34:38
for it and the heavy handles,
34:39
so I don't use it that often.
34:42
But it seems like it works pretty well.
34:44
Ask Colton Mertens what he thinks of their
34:45
ropes.
34:47
Oh, thank you.
34:49
I'm not trying to fight the hog.
34:50
Hopefully he says improve their bras.
34:53
So do I, Lito.
34:54
Honestly,
34:55
the one I got is not super supportive
34:57
at all.
34:57
Yeah.
35:00
I was telling...
35:03
Corey, before we came on the air,
35:05
that at least Belites does have some
35:06
color.
35:07
Last year, they had some blues,
35:09
they had some maroons,
35:10
and it actually allowed me,
35:12
I'm still editing the Hattie documentary.
35:15
I was just doing some this weekend.
35:17
And because of the different colors and
35:19
the switches up,
35:22
I've been able to tell what video was
35:24
from what event that she participated in.
35:28
so more colors more better for film
35:30
editing just to say and i am trying
35:33
to get that out just as a big
35:34
announcement uh before the open uh i want
35:38
to release it like right before the open
35:41
um and it's almost done i'm just putting
35:43
some finishing touches on it right now
35:45
roger that oh
35:50
I got some Belites ropes and they're very
35:52
lightweight and spin well,
35:53
but they do break frequently.
35:55
Yeah.
35:56
Ask Colton Mertens.
35:57
And I'm with Andrew and Mark Phillips.
36:00
I love the Reebok colors.
36:01
I miss the Reebok colors.
36:02
When I see the old footage,
36:03
it was so easy to tell who your
36:05
favorite CrossFitters were because they
36:07
would pick like a color combination and
36:09
you just knew what to look for on
36:11
the floor.
36:12
I miss it.
36:14
Not just from like a style standpoint,
36:16
but from an ease of telling who is
36:18
who.
36:20
yeah it gave her and the options that
36:23
those guys had back then allowed them to
36:26
like customize what they looked like every
36:27
day and nobody looked the same it wasn't
36:30
four people in maroon shirts doing one
36:32
workout um i thought corey might not want
36:37
the bras fixed to be honest i want
36:40
my bra fixed just saying later
36:46
All right.
36:46
So last thing I wanted to talk about,
36:47
and I only have about four minutes.
36:49
So partnerships, CrossFit,
36:52
this is probably a longer discussion.
36:53
We'll probably bring it back tomorrow.
36:56
They have announced a partnership with
36:57
Coaches Congress.
36:58
Saw that.
37:00
And this is now in addition to other
37:03
partnerships like Wadapalooza doing the
37:05
open announcement at Wadapalooza.
37:07
This is doing things like I'm having Pitt
37:11
and Legends and Wheelwad run aspects of
37:15
the CrossFit Games.
37:17
what I want to talk about tomorrow is,
37:20
is this a good direction that CrossFit is
37:24
going by increasing the partnerships
37:28
forever?
37:28
CrossFit was a one entity show.
37:32
They ran it all from media to how
37:35
the games ran at every level,
37:37
every aspect.
37:38
And now they're really embracing this
37:41
partnership thing.
37:42
Is this the way to go?
37:44
And again, we can expand on this tomorrow,
37:46
but just initial thought.
37:48
Initial thought was it right off the bat
37:51
is when Greg was running the show back
37:54
in the old days and he didn't know
37:56
something, he went and found an expert,
37:58
a subject matter expert to bring in and
38:01
teach it to people,
38:02
teach it to him and teach it to
38:03
other people and teach him how to teach
38:05
other people.
38:06
So this is what the kind of stuff
38:07
that they're doing, then good,
38:10
because I've never heard anything bad
38:12
about Coaches Congress.
38:14
Like people that went,
38:15
got nothing but good stuff off of it.
38:17
So if this is the kind of path
38:18
that they're taking, like, hey,
38:19
I'm going to partner up with these guys
38:21
because the resources that they have are
38:24
going to be beneficial for everybody who
38:27
is in an affiliate,
38:28
everybody who's running an affiliate,
38:29
everybody's coaching an affiliate,
38:31
then yes, outstanding.
38:33
Let's go ahead and do that.
38:35
Yeah,
38:35
we'll talk about this tomorrow for sure.
38:39
We got a couple hated the beige games.
38:42
Shanna hated the noble color same year
38:44
after year.
38:46
But then we have Catherine McGee as a
38:48
designer.
38:49
I'm in the minority in terms of liking
38:50
the more neutral color schemes.
38:52
Noble was definitely more modern in terms
38:54
of that aesthetic,
38:55
but I think Belites struck a good balance.
39:01
I hear you, Kate.
39:02
I actually, I didn't mind Belites.
39:04
I did not like Goruck,
39:06
and I did not like...
39:08
uh, noble, but I do like,
39:10
I did like the Belites.
39:12
I,
39:13
I thought the fits weren't as good as
39:15
some of the other apparel brands.
39:17
Like you could see people like tugging at
39:19
their clothes a lot more adjusting stuff.
39:23
Yeah.
39:24
So I think if they could fit and
39:25
maybe that's what Lito's talking about,
39:26
about the sports bra.
39:27
Um,
39:29
I don't know how long they've been in
39:30
the game with all this stuff.
39:31
Maybe if they can get a better fit,
39:34
um,
39:36
I don't know.
39:37
Yeah,
39:37
Joseph is still waiting on his Noble
39:39
jersey.
39:40
You and everybody else, Joseph.
39:44
I still don't understand the complexity of
39:46
that, how that is so hard.
39:48
It's the same template.
39:51
You're just changing the name.
39:55
At Monster Games,
39:56
they literally put our names on our shirts
39:59
at the venue.
40:02
Like, oh, you got a shirt?
40:03
Cool.
40:04
Here's your thing with your name on it.
40:05
Where do you want it?
40:06
Front or back?
40:07
Back.
40:07
Okay, cool.
40:09
Heat press.
40:11
Here's your shirt.
40:12
Going about your day.
40:14
Catherine McGee completely forgot about
40:15
GORUCK, a.k.a.
40:17
forgettable.
40:18
Yeah,
40:19
it was semi-noble with camo thrown in.
40:24
That's probably the most apt description
40:25
I've ever heard of the GORUCK uniform.
40:27
And the fonts weren't even as cool.
40:34
I mean,
40:35
a lot of Masters Games athletes are still
40:37
waiting on their Yeti bottles.
40:39
Oh, damn.
40:41
Don't get me started with Yeti.
40:42
All right, I got to go.
40:45
And when it comes to, like,
40:46
these people and whether they're going to
40:49
fulfill their promises.
40:50
Look, man,
40:50
I ain't falling for no banana in my
40:51
tailpipe.
40:54
Exactly.
40:55
Ain't going to fall for no banana in
40:56
the tailpipe.
40:57
No, I will not.
41:00
With that, I will be back tomorrow.
41:03
Cowboy, you here tomorrow?
41:04
I am.
41:06
All right.
41:06
We will see you all then.
41:08
Have a great rest of your day.
41:09
We'll see you tomorrow.
41:11
Bye, guys.
