Lunch with the Clydesdale - Were you Shocked by Quarterfinal Results · Clydesdale Media Podcast

Word to the wise,
0:04
don't eat almonds before you have to talk
0:06
on a mic.
0:07
Almond skins stick to the back of your
0:09
throat.
0:11
But we're also going to talk about some
0:12
cool shit next week.
0:24
I love the chase and the hunt,
0:25
and I set the pace when I'm running.
0:27
I always take what I want,
0:28
and I always give it one hundred.
0:30
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
0:32
Play the game like it's nothing.
0:33
I'm always thankful for something.
0:34
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
0:36
Now wake up!
0:37
It's time to look at the enemy.
0:40
Look in the mirror if he is no
0:42
friend to me.
0:43
It's not working out,
0:44
maybe it's the chemistry.
0:45
It's time to break up so I can
0:47
make a better man.
0:52
It's lunch time!
0:54
What is going on, everybody?
0:56
We are back and better than ever on
0:59
a Tuesday afternoon.
1:00
It's the Clydesdale and Cowboy hanging
1:04
out.
1:05
The quarterfinals are done.
1:07
And there's a really fit woman in the
1:10
chat.
1:11
Yes, she is.
1:13
Really fit.
1:16
Not only did she crush the open,
1:19
she crushed the quarterfinals.
1:21
Top ten finish in her age group.
1:25
Lito Caligiani.
1:28
Did I get that close?
1:30
Caligiani.
1:32
I don't know if that's right or not.
1:33
I just made that up,
1:34
but it sounds good.
1:39
Ridiculously fit, dude.
1:40
I was chatting with her yesterday.
1:42
She smashed it.
1:43
It's insane.
1:44
And they just keep coming, man.
1:46
Denise just popping in here.
1:49
CrossFit Games champion.
1:52
All we need is Shanna Bunce to jump
1:53
in with the CrossFit Games championship.
1:56
I'm sure she's coming.
2:00
She said I did very good.
2:01
Very good.
2:03
She gave me the... Are there, Shanna?
2:10
We got all the fit women here today.
2:13
Love it, dude.
2:14
Love it, love it, love it.
2:16
So yesterday I teased something about Ben
2:20
Bergeron.
2:22
Oh, God, yes.
2:22
I forgot all about it.
2:24
It's been a whirlwind.
2:26
I was leafing through YouTube and I saw
2:32
this thumbnail pop up.
2:45
so it now i have to so i
2:47
teased this yesterday yeah because i think
2:51
it's pretty well known that matt was kind
2:54
of fit before he got to ben and
2:58
he was really fit after ben and
3:06
I have to, gosh, how do I?
3:09
If there is one person that I kind
3:12
of despise in CrossFit, it's Ben Bergeron.
3:20
And what's crazy is when I first got
3:21
into CrossFit and I was like drinking
3:24
Kool-Aid out of both hands and all that
3:27
stuff,
3:27
I listened to Chasing Excellence like
3:29
every time it came on.
3:31
But the dude,
3:32
all the dude does is talking cliches.
3:35
Big ones.
3:36
It's a ten-point system for building a
3:40
better mindset.
3:41
It's the six-point system for this.
3:44
Everything's a TED Talk.
3:46
Everything's in bullets.
3:47
Everything's in cliches.
3:53
And so I had to hear what he
3:54
had to say about building the fittest man
3:57
in the world.
4:01
So I got,
4:01
I don't know if you saw the red
4:03
line.
4:03
I did not make it through this podcast.
4:05
I would imagine you didn't.
4:08
I guarantee you this much,
4:09
you got further than I would have.
4:11
You could write that part down right now.
4:13
But I made it as far as the
4:14
discussion on Matt Frazier.
4:15
Mm-hmm.
4:18
And in all fairness,
4:21
this is not chasing excellence.
4:23
This is not his podcast.
4:24
He did not create this thumbnail.
4:27
It was somebody else.
4:30
Uh, her name is Dr. Kristin Holmes.
4:34
He was on with her.
4:36
She's the one that created that thumbnail.
4:38
He never claims in the podcast that he
4:40
built the fittest man on earth.
4:43
Thank God.
4:45
And actually,
4:46
he takes a very subdued approach to it,
4:49
which I was really surprised about.
4:52
Good for him.
4:55
He actually says that he only discovered
5:00
Matt because he tried to get into a
5:02
competition he was holding.
5:05
And he submitted a video because it was
5:08
by invite only,
5:09
or you could submit a video of this
5:11
one workout.
5:13
And then if you got it,
5:15
if you had like a great score and
5:16
he,
5:17
the best score in was seven minutes and
5:19
Matt submitted his at three.
5:22
Wow.
5:23
And so that's why Bergeron let him in.
5:25
And before the competition even happened,
5:27
Ben reached out to him and said, Hey,
5:28
I'd like to help you if you'd move
5:30
to Boston.
5:32
And so he did.
5:33
But he said, listen,
5:34
I was just helping him.
5:35
He already had the gymnastics.
5:37
He already had the weightlifting.
5:39
He already had the drive.
5:43
And I just kind of was there to
5:45
help guide everything around it.
5:48
And he said he even hired like movement
5:53
specific coaches that worked with him and
5:57
all that stuff.
5:58
That was not me at all.
6:00
Like he hired a nutritionist.
6:02
He hired a weightlifting coach.
6:05
So whoever this chick is,
6:07
Andrew Hiller does like putting up the
6:10
clickbait headline.
6:11
Yeah.
6:12
Okay.
6:14
And the rest of the podcast was the
6:16
guiding principles and the six bullet
6:20
points of this,
6:21
the eight bullet points of that,
6:22
the ten bullet points of that.
6:23
Standard Ben Bajeron babbling nonsense.
6:27
Got it.
6:29
But I was thinking about it,
6:29
and you know I'm a sports fan and
6:31
everything else, especially football.
6:34
And I think of Ben Bergeron as that
6:36
coach.
6:37
And I compare him to like Mike Martz.
6:40
And if you don't know who Mike Martz
6:41
was,
6:41
he was the offensive coordinator of the
6:44
Rams of the early two thousands that were
6:47
known as the greatest show on turf.
6:48
The Kurt Warner, Marshall Falk,
6:52
Isaac Bruce, Torrey Holt.
6:54
It could not be stopped.
6:57
But whenever Mike Martz went to coach
6:59
anybody else, he failed miserably.
7:03
Because he had one system that worked for
7:05
this group and never developed or adapted
7:11
to anybody else.
7:13
And that's the way I view Ben Bergeron.
7:18
He was good with Katrin.
7:23
Pause.
7:28
In all fairness, he truly did coach her.
7:31
And she won two championships.
7:34
Back to back.
7:35
But when he tried to make a training
7:37
center and he brought people in,
7:40
most of them broke down and didn't even
7:41
make it through a season.
7:43
No, it failed miserably.
7:47
So I looked,
7:48
I looked at that as that same guy,
7:52
that coach that cannot,
7:54
he has the same cliches he had in
7:56
two thousand twelve when I first started
7:58
listening to him.
7:59
Nothing has changed.
8:01
He doesn't adapt and develop.
8:05
No, and the game has changed.
8:08
The game has changed from when I started
8:09
CrossFit, period, and started competing,
8:11
which is about a year after I started.
8:13
It was when I started realizing you could
8:14
compete and started doing local comps and
8:16
stuff like that.
8:18
It's not the same thing, dude.
8:20
That was twenty eighteen is now twenty
8:21
twenty six, eight years in and.
8:26
Training methods have changed.
8:30
Equipment has changed, gotten better,
8:32
developed grips.
8:34
You have to take all that kind of
8:35
stuff into account.
8:37
Mindset stuff has definitely shifted from
8:40
what it used to be to what it
8:41
is now.
8:42
You think for half a second that somebody
8:45
would throw dirt on Jason Hopper while he
8:47
was doing push-ups and they would get away
8:49
with that?
8:54
no because i can pretty much promise you
8:56
that wouldn't go that wouldn't fly would
8:59
not fly all right i followed comp train
9:04
for a very long time um and all
9:09
credit to it because it you know their
9:11
extra programming definitely helped me
9:12
along um as far as that goes but
9:15
once i switched it was absolutely insane
9:19
what it's what my journey's been like
9:20
since then so
9:22
And I did the same thing as you,
9:24
like when I first got in and I
9:25
figured out who he was and listened to
9:27
his stuff and like, man,
9:28
this is really good stuff.
9:29
And then after a while,
9:31
it's like you could go through his podcast
9:33
collection and it's the same talk.
9:36
Yeah,
9:36
just put the first ten episodes on loop
9:38
and you get it all.
9:41
It's the same over and over again.
9:44
He's been having the same six
9:46
conversations, eight conversations,
9:48
whatever it is,
9:49
for God only knows how long.
9:52
Daniel says Comtrain might have been the
9:54
absolute worst online programming that
9:55
ever existed.
9:58
So I would,
9:59
I don't know if worst ever existed.
10:02
I would argue that just from, right.
10:05
I would argue that from my own experience,
10:07
it has ups and downs in the,
10:09
let's see, nineteen, twenty,
10:12
twenty five or so years that I did
10:14
it.
10:15
It definitely went through cycles,
10:17
but I feel like all programs do that
10:18
kind of stuff, right?
10:20
You have good months, you have bad months,
10:21
you have good seasons,
10:22
you have bad seasons.
10:26
In the past couple of years,
10:27
especially since they're no longer comp
10:30
trained, they are complete training.
10:32
It has completely gone to crap,
10:35
in my opinion.
10:40
Here's my beef with it.
10:42
My gym did it for five years, maybe.
10:48
It was the most boring thing.
10:51
training I've ever done.
10:52
I'm never going to be a games athlete.
10:55
That was never my goal coming into this.
10:58
I just wanted to have fun with my
11:00
friends and be as fit as I could
11:02
possibly be.
11:04
And to do something like I'm going to
11:06
try to be some kind of big games
11:09
athlete and be programmed like I'm
11:12
training for that did not fit what I
11:15
wanted in gym programming.
11:18
I wanted to go have fun while I
11:20
was getting fit because I'm not trying to
11:23
win.
11:24
I might enter a local comp,
11:25
but I ain't trying to win the games.
11:28
I don't need...
11:29
to evaluate last year's game season and
11:32
say, well,
11:33
we got to focus on dumbbell hang snatches
11:37
and then do them six times a month.
11:40
Like that.
11:41
I don't need that shit.
11:46
Yeah, no, I agree.
11:47
Uh, Shanna says, I said,
11:48
you're still involved with country.
11:49
I believe he is.
11:50
I think I saw a reel where him
11:52
and Ben were working out together.
11:53
He still does.
11:54
He is the last I checked.
11:57
So they had some really good coaches.
12:00
And then they all left one at a
12:02
time and went to HWPO, went to Proven,
12:07
went to, like,
12:08
they had really good coaches that were in
12:10
charge of the competitor program,
12:13
whatever you want to call it,
12:14
stuff that I was following.
12:15
And one by one, they all left.
12:17
Like, they would come in.
12:18
They'd be there for a little while.
12:19
Hey, we got a new coach.
12:20
This is this guy, blah, blah, blah,
12:21
whatever, and they would move on.
12:22
And now, as far as I know,
12:23
because I haven't, like I said,
12:24
I haven't done it in three years,
12:27
Cole was in charge of it.
12:29
And I have no idea what the quality
12:31
is like.
12:33
But I know it was.
12:35
And I can tell you that class programming
12:36
is still,
12:38
there's some wacky shit going on.
12:40
What I do appreciate about the evolution
12:42
of programming for affiliates is there's a
12:45
compete track usually,
12:47
and then there's the everyday just want to
12:49
be fit track.
12:52
And those two should not mesh together.
12:57
Because you want to retain your everyday
12:59
average Joe athlete and make them want to
13:02
come back to the gym every day to
13:05
do the next workout.
13:06
Where the compete track,
13:07
that's a different animal.
13:09
Those are people that are driven and want
13:11
more.
13:14
The compete stuff is not fantastic for
13:20
general pop.
13:22
depending on what it is.
13:23
I mean, everything is scalable.
13:26
Well,
13:26
you can take a piece of it and
13:28
put in gen pop.
13:29
Yeah.
13:30
If I showed you what a full day,
13:33
just a regular full day of my training
13:35
looks like,
13:36
and I don't do all of it,
13:38
most people's heads would spin because,
13:40
like,
13:41
We have a lot.
13:42
But Brandon says specifically, hey,
13:44
I'm not expecting everybody to do all of
13:45
this every single day.
13:47
I know how much it is.
13:48
You have options to where if you need
13:50
to work on this, here's this.
13:52
If you need to work on that,
13:53
here's that.
13:54
You want to lift?
13:54
Cool.
13:55
Here's this.
13:56
You want accessories?
13:57
Boom.
13:58
We got a whole bunch of that.
13:59
Here's the Metcon.
14:00
Here's the various levels.
14:02
You can't take that.
14:03
It doesn't translate over to a class as
14:06
well because it's just too much.
14:07
It's just too much.
14:12
Wayne says,
14:13
Ben was fortunate to witness Matt becoming
14:14
the fittest on earth.
14:15
Matt would have succeeded regardless of
14:17
what programming he attached his name to.
14:21
And in fairness,
14:23
Ben did say that in this interview.
14:25
Ben essentially said, Matt came in,
14:27
we gave him a gymnastics move,
14:29
and he could do it without ever trying
14:30
it and do it first attempt successfully.
14:33
Because he freestyle skied,
14:35
and so he had body awareness.
14:37
His parents were Olympic athletes.
14:39
He had the genes and the makeup to
14:42
pretty much be able to adapt and do
14:44
anything on the fly.
14:45
And he was a junior Olympic weightlifter.
14:47
So, like, he knew how to snatch.
14:49
He knew how to clean and jerk.
14:50
He knew how to do all of that
14:52
stuff.
14:52
He had a real good base of strength
14:54
before he went in there, like,
14:56
he had all the tools in the drawer.
14:58
He also said he's a four point O
15:00
engineering student who would memorize
15:02
full textbooks.
15:03
Correct.
15:05
Like anomaly dude.
15:06
He was so driven even in education to
15:10
be the best he could be with all
15:11
of that stuff.
15:13
Um, and so it,
15:16
it really was clickbait after I clicked on
15:19
Ben did not take credit for Matt in
15:21
the interview.
15:22
Um,
15:23
It was just clickbait on the thumbnail.
15:26
And yeah.
15:28
And he actually gave a lot of credit
15:29
to his individual coaches of like
15:32
nutrition, weightlifting, gymnastics,
15:36
as much as taking any credit himself.
15:38
Good for him.
15:41
Carolyn said,
15:42
I would say that for a lot of
15:44
top athletes with any program.
15:45
Yeah.
15:48
Nine times out of ten.
15:49
They come in with tools.
15:52
Any good coach is going to do that,
15:54
really with anybody,
15:55
but especially with top athletes.
15:56
Okay, what can you do?
15:58
What are your strengths?
15:58
What are your weaknesses?
15:59
Let's look at that.
16:00
Okay, good.
16:01
We got that down.
16:01
Here's a program.
16:03
We're going to shore up your strengths and
16:05
we're going to work on,
16:05
we're going to hammer the shit out of
16:06
your weaknesses.
16:07
Let's go.
16:09
My only argument to Carolyn would be if
16:11
you're an athlete like Carolyn or like
16:14
Matt Fraser or like Danny Spiegel,
16:16
you are better equipped to adapt to
16:19
whatever comes your way when you first
16:23
start a program.
16:26
And so I think – I just think
16:30
that that –
16:31
that makes a big difference.
16:32
How,
16:33
what athleticism you come to the table
16:35
with full credit to Matt's athleticism
16:39
walking in the door.
16:41
If I get Carolyn Prevost walking to my
16:43
gym, right.
16:45
And there's nothing you can throw at her
16:47
that she can't do.
16:48
And I'm like,
16:49
I'm salivating at the mouth at that point.
16:51
Like, Oh, well, okay.
16:54
Okay.
16:55
Well, I mean, she's playing double on it.
16:56
She's just not real good at it.
17:00
oh but seriously like you look at it
17:03
she walks in you're like oh okay here
17:06
we go and you start you got to
17:07
start like poking and prodding at it to
17:09
see what she actually can't do or what
17:11
her weaknesses are because anything you
17:13
throw at her she's like oh yeah no
17:14
i can do that oh yeah no i
17:16
can do that uh savan says only coach
17:19
have to make a female male and female
17:22
and female champ in the same year
17:25
It's all like perspective, right?
17:27
Because you could say Shane Orr had Matt
17:29
and Tia in twenty twenty.
17:31
Yeah.
17:35
So I would say first coach to have
17:38
male and female the same year,
17:39
because I would say, I mean,
17:41
when Matt and Tia were training together.
17:45
I mean, with Shane, their coach,
17:46
I kind of feel like he kind of
17:47
I mean, he probably served as their coach.
17:50
He did,
17:51
I think as much as Ben did.
17:53
Yeah, a hundred percent, dude.
17:55
I mean, Matt shows up, right?
18:00
And Shane's like, oh, already then.
18:05
Yeah.
18:06
Like,
18:06
I don't know if Shane was tweaking Matt's
18:08
game that much at that point in his
18:10
career,
18:12
but he was technically his coach at the
18:13
games.
18:13
Correct.
18:14
Correct.
18:16
Correct.
18:21
Yeah, don't program double unders.
18:27
Eddie, I asked you a question, Corey.
18:30
Do you want that or an athlete who
18:32
is willing to put in the daily work
18:34
to be better on everything?
18:36
Ideally both.
18:39
In an ideal world, you want both.
18:40
Somebody who's good but thinks that
18:42
they're not.
18:43
Right.
18:44
Somebody who looks at stuff and goes,
18:46
I can only do sets of a hundred
18:48
dumbbell and there's unbroken.
18:49
And you're like,
18:50
you have to sit there and kind of
18:51
process that for a second and go, okay,
18:55
do you say only?
18:56
Cause that doesn't make any sense.
18:57
Like I'm not clocking that.
18:59
So yeah, ideally both.
19:01
You want somebody who is willing to work
19:03
and do put in, you know,
19:06
all the blood, sweat, tears,
19:07
all that kind of stuff,
19:08
but it helps if they know what they're
19:10
doing.
19:12
whenever they get there or adaptable,
19:14
right?
19:16
So there's that.
19:18
Like I said,
19:18
we talked about the story on the street.
19:22
And from the Savon Rumor Mill,
19:24
story on the street.
19:27
Man of the people.
19:28
The story on the street,
19:29
Shane did all of Matt's programming.
19:32
I don't disagree that he did the
19:33
programming.
19:34
Yeah.
19:35
I just don't think there's anything Shane
19:36
had to tell Matt.
19:39
Like, hey, I hope you beat Tia today.
19:41
Or you played tighter in your trip.
19:46
Or I don't think there was a lot
19:48
of technique coaching going on.
19:50
No, no, no.
19:51
There wasn't any.
19:53
Your ring muscle-ups could use a little
19:54
work.
19:55
Let me modify you to that.
19:57
And maybe he did.
19:58
But I just don't see a whole lot
20:00
of that happening,
20:00
especially not by the time he got to
20:02
where him and Tia were hanging out.
20:06
And then HWPO programming originally was
20:09
Shane's programming and now Bad Blood.
20:13
If you look at Matt's book in the
20:15
workouts that he was doing,
20:18
it became what HWPO was.
20:21
So if those are the workouts he was
20:22
doing while he was with Shane in the
20:24
book, and then it moves over to,
20:26
then that tracks.
20:27
Yeah, makes sense.
20:28
Absolutely makes sense.
20:33
And what's funny is in the podcast,
20:36
Ben actually talks about the rowing
20:39
intervals and all that stuff that Matt did
20:42
on his own.
20:44
He won everything he was weaker than other
20:47
athletes on.
20:48
He just pounded until he got good enough.
20:53
Yeah.
20:54
When at that point you don't have to
20:56
beat,
20:56
you don't have to beat everybody in a
20:58
rowing workout.
20:58
You just have to be able to not
21:00
get your ass handed to you by everybody
21:02
in a rowing workout.
21:03
Believe me, I know all about that.
21:10
He started winning some of those things.
21:12
Yeah.
21:13
Like those sprints and the rowing stuff.
21:16
He like,
21:17
he wasn't the best rower in the game,
21:19
but he was pretty damn good.
21:21
No,
21:21
and when he went and learned how to
21:23
run, I mean, that's a watershed moment,
21:25
right?
21:26
That's an all-time game's highlight of him
21:30
running down the field and beating
21:32
everybody in that sprint where the year
21:34
before that he got it.
21:35
I mean,
21:36
that video of him from the year before
21:38
where he's looking around and he's
21:40
narrating and he goes, and I'm just like,
21:42
how is everybody so fast?
21:45
Well, it's not that everybody was so fast.
21:46
It's just that he was that slow.
21:49
Because once he caught up,
21:50
nobody else in the year following that,
21:52
the other people did not get that much
21:54
faster or didn't.
21:55
You know what I'm saying?
21:56
Like they stayed where they were.
21:57
He just caught up is all there was
21:58
to it.
22:00
Yeah.
22:03
Do coaches get credit for creating an
22:05
environment in which athletes can
22:06
flourish?
22:08
I think that is a definite yes.
22:09
I think if you look at what Colton's
22:12
been saying about his relationship with
22:14
Joey –
22:15
that he feels better at a competition when
22:19
Joey is there as his support.
22:21
Yeah.
22:22
I think there is a comfort that is
22:23
created,
22:25
and it doesn't always have to be through
22:29
programming or through the environment.
22:31
Just being there and knowing what the
22:34
needs are of your athlete.
22:35
Yeah.
22:37
That coach-athlete relationship,
22:40
relationship is super duper important.
22:43
Like if you are not comfortable, if you,
22:45
you,
22:45
you have to be matched up with the
22:46
right person, right?
22:48
It doesn't matter.
22:48
It does.
22:49
I'll say it doesn't matter.
22:50
It matters less what they know and matters
22:55
more what they can provide to you.
22:56
Does that make sense?
22:58
Like programming is programming.
23:00
When it comes down to it,
23:00
everybody's got a row.
23:01
Everybody's got to lift weights.
23:02
Everybody's got to do all the gymnastics
23:04
and all that kind of stuff right there.
23:05
But your coach instilling,
23:07
being able to instill in you, um,
23:10
the level of confidence that you're going
23:11
to need to be able to get out
23:12
on the floor and do the things that
23:14
you are capable of doing like that's
23:16
paramount right building up that belief
23:19
building a bad environment like you said
23:21
about what uh what colton said he feels
23:26
better he you know that dude is is
23:29
giving him the things that he needs
23:30
mentally to be able to push past what
23:32
his boundary what his perceived boundaries
23:34
are i think that's amazing
23:36
When I think even Matt said that Shane
23:39
doing the programming took something off
23:41
of him that allowed him to focus on
23:43
other things.
23:44
Yeah.
23:45
Well, it's just like, I mean,
23:48
as he progressed, right?
23:49
So second, second meets Sammy, right?
23:54
Sammy starts taking off of all his daily
23:56
stuff.
23:57
He doesn't have to cook anymore.
23:58
Not that he cooked before,
23:59
but she starts taking all of that kind
24:02
of stuff off.
24:03
Well,
24:03
now he's got that much more time and
24:05
mental capacity to focus on that.
24:09
And then same thing,
24:09
like he gets to Shane and him and
24:11
like,
24:11
now I don't have to worry about
24:12
programming because clearly he knows what
24:14
he's doing because Tia's, you know,
24:17
smashing everybody at that point.
24:19
One less thing that he has to actually
24:20
do.
24:21
I mean, that's ridiculous, dude.
24:24
Like as far as that kind of stuff
24:25
is concerned.
24:27
Denise Moore,
24:28
when my coach is at a competition,
24:29
I tend to do better.
24:30
I always feel the need to please my
24:32
coach.
24:33
I had that need ever since high school
24:35
sports.
24:38
Carolyn Prevost says he didn't get that
24:40
much faster sprinting.
24:41
He just recovered more than the other
24:43
people.
24:47
So the perception is that all of a
24:48
sudden he could sprint.
24:51
Well,
24:52
and if you go look back at fourteen
24:53
and fifteen, he died on Saturday.
24:58
Bad.
24:58
Like he was he was the Matt we
25:01
became to know on the first couple of
25:04
days of the games and Saturday he would
25:07
hit a wall.
25:08
Yeah, I mean, he fell smooth off.
25:10
I mean,
25:10
how many failed kettlebell deadlifts did
25:13
he have in that final workout against Ben
25:16
in XV that allowed Ben to win the
25:19
games in XV?
25:22
It was painful to watch.
25:26
And then after that,
25:28
you never saw Matt have those failures
25:30
again.
25:32
No, I like it,
25:32
as a matter of fact, whenever they did,
25:35
was it Fibonacci,
25:36
like two years in a row in the
25:38
first year?
25:40
He just kind of coasted through it because
25:42
he was taking it in.
25:44
In the second year, he was like,
25:45
all right,
25:45
let me see what I can actually do,
25:46
and then went through.
25:49
That kind of stuff was wild to watch
25:50
because he was still that fresh at that
25:52
point in the game where he was like
25:54
he could afford to go out and take
25:55
risk at that point and just see what
25:56
was going to happen.
25:59
Yeah.
26:02
So many people hate on Ben and discredit
26:04
his success.
26:05
And yet he had Cole, Matt, Katrin,
26:07
et cetera.
26:09
I don't think it was luck.
26:11
I think that he was really good as
26:13
a one type of coach.
26:15
And I use the analogy into a football
26:18
metaphor earlier.
26:20
You may be a great coach with the
26:22
right players on your team.
26:24
And then when you go to a different
26:25
team with a different group of players,
26:27
your system doesn't work anymore.
26:30
And ever since Ben went away from those
26:32
three and tried to bring other people into
26:36
that format, it's failed.
26:39
And what I,
26:40
what I criticize Ben for is lack of
26:44
adaptation to other athletes.
26:53
Yeah, I think it's pretty apparent.
26:58
So
27:00
And maybe the reason he took a step
27:01
back involved that he,
27:04
that the game was starting to pass him
27:06
by.
27:08
I would want to represent agree with that.
27:10
And I think he was wise enough,
27:13
perceptive enough to kind of see it and
27:15
pass it on down to somebody else.
27:17
You know,
27:17
he thought he was going to be able
27:18
to be,
27:20
to keep it moving and just take a
27:23
step back and I'm going to go ahead
27:24
and just put my focus somewhere else.
27:26
Yeah.
27:33
But I do think,
27:34
and this is probably the case with a
27:36
lot of coaches,
27:38
the athlete has to be the right fit
27:39
with the coach.
27:41
The coach has to be the right fit
27:43
for the athlete.
27:45
It's symbiotic in some ways.
27:48
It has to be.
27:50
And when they tried to do the big
27:51
academy and they tried to do this mass
27:55
camp thing,
27:57
I think a lot of camps like Proven,
28:02
like HWPO,
28:05
learned that to do this in mass is
28:08
not doable at one location.
28:15
Proven adjusted, HWPO adjusted.
28:20
Ben just shut it down at that point.
28:28
So anyway, it was just,
28:32
I saw that on YouTube and out and
28:34
just for people jumping in late,
28:35
this is what,
28:37
what sparked the whole debate.
28:41
And that, what that is this,
28:46
how I built the fittest man in the
28:47
world.
28:48
But again,
28:48
Ben did not create the thumbnail.
28:51
A whole different podcast.
28:54
A whole different podcast.
28:57
Full transparency.
28:58
This was another person's podcast.
29:00
They created this.
29:02
I just saw it and I was like,
29:04
whoa.
29:05
I think that's why my hair stood up
29:06
so much yesterday whenever you said it
29:08
because I was like,
29:10
did he really come out with that?
29:12
Did Ben say that himself?
29:13
That's wildly...
29:17
but it was somebody else and it's one
29:19
hundred percent clickbait.
29:20
So good on her for baiting people in.
29:25
Make me watch it because I wanted to
29:27
hear how he built them in the interview.
29:30
He does not take,
29:32
he really doesn't take much credit for
29:34
Matt at all in the interview.
29:38
So anyway, moving on.
29:42
So quarterfinals ended last night.
29:44
Yes, sir.
29:46
Yesterday afternoon, I guess noon.
29:48
Two p.m.
29:48
my time.
29:48
Three p.m.
29:50
your time.
29:54
And, whoops.
29:55
Noon and the only time zone that Savant
29:58
cares about.
30:02
We have the unofficial leaderboard.
30:05
What you'll notice this year is if the
30:08
scores have been validated,
30:09
it is regular font.
30:11
If the score was not validated,
30:14
it is italicized.
30:17
So, on the men's side,
30:22
I got to just say I was shocked.
30:24
Flabbergasted would be a good word.
30:28
I was flabbergasted over a lot of things.
30:31
I thought Colton won for sure.
30:34
Yeah.
30:36
I thought he won going away.
30:37
I thought nobody would touch Tudor in that
30:44
–
30:45
Double under workout.
30:46
He came in seventh.
30:49
Insane.
30:52
And so Jay Crouch wins quarterfinals
30:54
unofficially.
30:55
Austin Hadfield second.
30:56
Jeffrey Adler third.
30:58
Saxon and Spencer Pancheck come
31:00
back-to-back fourth and fifth.
31:02
Yonikoski sixth.
31:03
Colton Merton seventh.
31:05
Noah Olsen eighth.
31:06
Nate Ackerman ninth.
31:08
And Ricky Garrard tenth.
31:09
Oh, Ricky Mack.
31:13
I'm talking about the Panchak twins coming
31:15
in right next to each other.
31:17
What's more flabbergasting?
31:20
Big brother in twenty second.
31:23
That's not flabbergasting.
31:24
That dude has been fit his entire life,
31:29
his entire career.
31:30
That does not surprise me in the least.
31:34
He's right there with Jason Hopper and
31:36
Dallin Pepper.
31:36
Mm hmm.
31:41
But yeah, really surprised about all that.
31:44
Any big surprises for you?
31:46
I mean,
31:46
aside from Colton not being in first,
31:50
the rest of it makes sense to me,
31:52
one hundred percent.
31:52
But like, I really didn't think,
31:55
first of all.
31:57
The fact that somebody went faster than
31:59
Tudor's time on that deadlift double under
32:02
workout is wild, like completely,
32:06
completely wild.
32:07
This one also hit me from the blind
32:10
side.
32:12
I know Kyra's fit.
32:13
I understand that,
32:15
but I didn't think she was that fit.
32:17
If you would have given me twenty guesses
32:19
on who would win the quarterfinals,
32:21
Kyra would not have shown up in my
32:23
list.
32:23
No.
32:24
So, good on her,
32:25
because that blew my mind completely as
32:27
well.
32:28
Like, Ariel, okay.
32:29
Danielle, sure.
32:30
Lucy Campbell, Lucy McGonigal, yep.
32:32
Why not?
32:34
Miriam.
32:35
Miriam, yep.
32:36
And for Kyra to knock all of those
32:38
girls down, that's outstanding.
32:41
Good on her, dude.
32:42
Like, for real.
32:44
And seeing the workouts,
32:45
I can see Andrea Solberg.
32:47
I can see Elena Caratala.
32:50
Those fit them.
32:52
I could see all of that.
32:54
But man,
32:55
the Kyra thing just smacked me right
32:57
between the eyes.
32:59
And look, good owner.
33:02
Good owner.
33:03
That's amazing.
33:03
I'm happy for her.
33:09
But holy smokes, that was shocking.
33:12
Look at Olivia in twelfth.
33:15
Yep.
33:18
There's kind of the list.
33:21
No,
33:22
no real surprises in the top twenty five.
33:24
No.
33:27
So I saw I saw a couple.
33:30
I saw a couple.
33:32
Italicized ones last night and they've all
33:36
been removed.
33:38
From the top twenty five of women's.
33:42
So.
33:44
Yeah, when ours came out yesterday,
33:45
I was looking through the leaderboard,
33:46
just kind of digging around for some of
33:48
that stuff that was going to end up
33:50
getting removed.
33:53
I think, I say I think,
33:55
I have absolutely nothing to base this on,
33:56
but there was some dude that had,
34:00
in my age group, it's gone now,
34:01
had a .. .

34:08
squat clean workout and i was like no
34:10
you didn't no you didn't you just didn't
34:14
maybe that was your tie break time and
34:16
you entered it wrong but you did not
34:20
do the forty bar muscle ups and eighty
34:22
hang squat cleans in six minutes and seven
34:25
seconds and that didn't that actually came
34:27
off pretty quick so i was i was
34:28
kind of excited about that but
34:33
Ed,
34:34
I hope Kyra and Kiefer keep this up
34:35
for the games and didn't peak too soon.
34:39
Rooting for her to make it back to
34:40
the games this year.
34:45
If I'm going to be completely transparent
34:47
and honest about Kyra,
34:50
I met her back in the underdog days.
34:55
I didn't think she was serious enough
34:57
about death to be this good.
35:02
And I felt like she didn't have the
35:04
belief in herself.
35:07
She was very self-deprecating in her
35:09
humor.
35:12
She was always fun.
35:13
She was a great interview.
35:15
Love talking to her.
35:16
All of those things.
35:18
Just didn't sure she did.
35:21
Wasn't sure she had all that.
35:23
So if she has gotten all of that.
35:25
Yeah, I do.
35:28
Getting your headspace straightened out is
35:30
a game changer.
35:31
Yeah.
35:31
In a quarterfinals that was not heavy?
35:34
Correct.
35:38
Yeah.
35:38
I'm telling you, dude,
35:39
getting your headspace right,
35:42
I guess you could say,
35:43
is a game changer.
35:45
If that's what it took,
35:46
and this is a sign of things to
35:50
come, yeah,
35:51
she's going to be fun to watch the
35:53
rest of the season.
35:55
Yeah.
35:57
Like I said,
35:58
it smacked me between the eyes.
35:59
If she was this good on these workouts,
36:02
what is to come for her?
36:05
Wish her nothing but the best.
36:06
I've met Kiefer at the last Southland camp
36:09
that we had, and that dude's awesome.
36:14
she's hanging out with him and she is.
36:17
Yeah.
36:19
Yeah.
36:19
I, uh, my,
36:21
my biggest memory with her is one of
36:23
the years she didn't make the games.
36:24
We were in Madison.
36:25
I was sitting on some steps and I
36:26
was doing Instagram updates and she sat
36:31
down beside me and we did an update
36:32
on the games sitting on these steps and
36:34
she was all in on it again,
36:37
always fun,
36:38
always willing to jump in and do whatever.
36:41
Um,
36:43
just wasn't sure she had that that dog
36:47
right yeah it seems there seems she may
36:52
have adopted one yeah so super impressed
36:57
with her her quarterfinals performance um
37:02
so yeah uh
37:09
Anything else on the doc today?
37:10
I don't have a lot of notes.
37:12
I don't have any notes, actually.
37:13
I didn't take a note today.
37:17
I don't have any notes either,
37:19
oddly enough.
37:21
No, dude.
37:22
Have you ever taken a note for this
37:23
show?
37:24
Yes.
37:25
Oh, wow.
37:27
I have.
37:28
I have.
37:29
I don't remember what it was for,
37:30
but I remember writing some stuff down,
37:32
so I didn't forget about it.
37:36
Oh, Denise.
37:36
Denise.
37:39
uh denise said i got the flu real
37:40
bad right lit right after twenty six point
37:42
three high fever for days a burpee over
37:45
the bar workout killed me i couldn't
37:47
breathe that would happen to me without
37:52
the flu
37:55
Shout out to everybody who made semis.
37:58
Mr.
37:59
Joseph Ramirez finished inside that top
38:01
four hundred in our age group.
38:02
He is going to be moving on to
38:05
online semifinals.
38:06
He just put it in earlier that he
38:08
got his scores validated.
38:11
Shout out to Mr. David Johnson.
38:13
He and I have been chatting a whole
38:14
lot past couple of days just by the
38:17
leaderboard and what it looks like and
38:21
hoping to get an invite at some point
38:24
to be able to go compete in person.
38:26
I think I did.
38:27
I think I did enough,
38:28
which is what I was trying to do
38:29
this season.
38:30
That was my biggest goal for the year
38:33
that I wrote down was to be able
38:34
to finish high enough and put me in
38:37
a spot to be able to go compete
38:38
in person.
38:39
So,
38:40
If we are giving shout outs,
38:44
let me first shout out Thirdsy.
38:48
It is the game changer that will help
38:50
you recover on the weekends.
38:52
It will help you get ready for this
38:54
Easter holiday weekend this weekend.
38:56
It'll get you ready for semifinals,
38:59
all of that stuff.
39:01
And you can get fifteen percent off by
39:02
using code Jazzy at checkout or going to
39:05
Thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy.
39:07
But other shout outs,
39:08
our very own Carolyn Prevost,
39:11
finishing forty fifth in the world in the
39:13
elite division.
39:15
In addition to that,
39:16
she took first in the age group,
39:18
thirty five to thirty nine.
39:20
She's an animal.
39:21
Jamie,
39:22
who is taking the year off because of
39:25
hip surgery.
39:27
Twenty second in her age group.
39:31
She's taking a year off and she finished
39:33
thirty something spots ahead of me.
39:39
And Corey Leonard, you,
39:43
the man finishing fifty seventh in your
39:45
age group and moving on to semis.
39:47
And hopefully you get that in-person
39:49
invite to either Magic City or Legends so
39:52
we can see you out there on the
39:53
floor.
39:55
Micah,
39:55
if you watch and I would really like
39:56
Birmingham six hours from here.
39:58
I do not want to have to fly
39:59
halfway across the country.
40:00
Actually,
40:00
I'm not flying halfway across the country.
40:02
I'm just not.
40:03
It's too much.
40:07
That's an excellent question.
40:09
So Denise is asking,
40:09
is Jamie going to do semis?
40:12
So I will say it depends.
40:15
And she has told me what the parameters
40:17
are and her limitations with her body.
40:19
But I will leave that for her to
40:21
say publicly.
40:27
I'm going to text her after we get
40:30
off this.
40:31
It all appears on what the workouts are.
40:34
I don't think she's going to try to
40:35
go do an in-person.
40:37
I think if she does it,
40:38
it will be the online just because of
40:41
her recovery from the hip surgery.
40:43
Right.
40:45
So David's comment right there.
40:53
So that's what mostly what he and I
40:55
have been chatting about.
40:56
So if you take a list of people
40:59
from Kane Hayes down to me, right?
41:02
Kane finished quarterfinals in first in my
41:05
age group.
41:08
Mostly take out the international names,
41:10
okay?
41:10
Like the guys that are in Europe,
41:12
the guys in South America.
41:14
I highly doubt Kane is flying from
41:16
Australia to come over here just to do
41:18
an in-person semifinal when there's one in
41:19
Australia.
41:21
And now all of a sudden,
41:23
I have a way better chance of getting
41:25
an invite to somewhere.
41:27
So that's what me and David have been
41:28
doing.
41:28
Mostly David's been doing it,
41:30
if I'm being completely honest.
41:31
He was running the names this morning.
41:32
We were chatting about it.
41:36
Ed asks,
41:36
can we expect Clydesdale Media to maybe
41:38
stream, announce a semifinal comp,
41:40
maybe a smaller comp?
41:42
It's something I've always wanted to do.
41:45
Ed, when I was a kid,
41:46
I wanted to be a sports broadcaster.
41:48
That's why I started this podcast because
41:50
I gave up on that dream when I
41:51
was like, I was like, I was like,
41:52
I was like, I was like,
41:53
I was like, I was like,
41:53
I was like, I was like,
41:54
I was like, I was like,
41:54
I was like, I was like,
41:55
I was like, I was like,
41:55
I was like, I was like,
41:55
I was like, I was like,
41:56
I was like, I was like,
41:56
I was like, I was like,
41:57
I was like, I was like,
41:57
I was like, I was like,
41:58
I was like, I was like,
41:58
I was like, I was like,
41:59
I was like, I was like,
41:59
I was like, I was like,
42:00
I was like, I was like,
42:01
I was like, I was like,
42:02
few years back i don't want to get
42:03
into the details of why that fell through
42:05
right but it's led to some animosity with
42:10
some people um but other than that i
42:14
would love to do it at some point
42:16
But right now,
42:17
I've got to get through what I'm going
42:19
through medically,
42:21
and hopefully after this season,
42:23
we can refocus, re-energize,
42:26
and get back into doing maybe a smaller
42:28
comp or something like that and get our
42:31
feet wet and see what we can do.
42:35
A lot of work,
42:36
but I imagine it's fun as shit.
42:42
Jamie, Natty are not incoming.
42:46
ever seen that girl eat you understand
42:48
that she is one hundred percent natural
42:50
it's it's amazing to watch yeah it's so
42:56
every time we go out to eat every
42:58
the waiter always thinks her meal is mine
43:01
yeah and mine is hers and i'm like
43:05
no you gotta you gotta switch those and
43:07
they look at me with wide eyes like
43:10
really
43:11
Really?
43:12
I had wide eyes watching her going, oh,
43:15
and she just kind of giggled and she
43:17
went, yeah, I can eat whatever I want.
43:18
And I was like, I see that.
43:24
Oh, uh, Shannon's doing her semis online.
43:29
That's the other thing we were talking
43:30
about as far as that kind of stuff
43:32
is,
43:32
is me and David was like the people
43:34
who are just not going to go in
43:36
person.
43:37
Like we was going to, you know,
43:38
feel more comfortable doing semifinals at
43:41
their own gym.
43:42
I guess go ahead and just go the
43:43
online route.
43:44
Cause honestly,
43:46
if you're looking at just the numbers
43:47
game,
43:47
you get a way better chance of making
43:49
it from the online.
43:51
Cause they're just taking more people than
43:52
if you showed up for in person,
43:53
but I want the in-person experience.
43:56
I need more experience.
43:57
Yeah.
43:58
Being in there, being in the trenches,
43:59
going against those guys that are
44:02
games-level athletes.
44:06
Is Jamie enjoying the Big Blue success?
44:09
I think I can safely speak for her
44:11
on that, and that is an absolute no.
44:15
If it ain't green and white in Michigan,
44:17
she ain't for it.
44:21
If you go to her house,
44:23
the whole living room is decorated in
44:25
Michigan State.
44:28
It's crazy.
44:32
Lito is doing online semis,
44:34
then the French throwdown on back-to-back
44:36
weekends, so May should be fun.
44:39
If anybody's fit enough to handle that,
44:42
it's Lito Calagiani.
44:46
I will say this, Lito, to that point,
44:48
is that I'll probably be doing him
44:52
If I get an invite to Magic City,
44:56
I'll be doing Magic City and then doing
44:58
online the week after.
44:59
So I know where you're at.
45:04
Meg,
45:04
that sounds like terrible decorations.
45:06
Well, not how I would decorate my house.
45:09
And again, Meg,
45:10
I have no say in how my house
45:12
is decorated.
45:16
So speaking of which,
45:17
so I got these floating shelves that my
45:19
wife wanted.
45:21
And I said,
45:21
all I need for you to do is
45:23
put a line,
45:24
a pen line on the wall where you
45:27
want the center of the shelf to be
45:29
both height and width.
45:32
And I will put them up.
45:34
It has been four days.
45:36
I still don't have a line.
45:37
And yet when we're in public with other
45:40
people, well,
45:41
I gave them a chore list and the
45:43
chore list is just sitting there.
45:46
Cause the minute I know I put up
45:47
those shelves and I don't use her line,
45:49
it's going to be, it's up too high.
45:51
It's down too low.
45:52
You put it off to the right too
45:53
much.
45:54
I ain't doing that.
46:06
Yes.
46:06
Good luck leader.
46:07
You're going to kill it.
46:08
She's going to smash it, dude.
46:09
She's going back to the games.
46:10
Her and I had a discussion yesterday.
46:13
Denise,
46:13
thank goodness Delmar is two weeks before
46:15
the online semis.
46:17
She's the only one signed up.
46:20
Age group.
46:21
I think she's going to be okay.
46:26
Meg says, just put them up.
46:28
I have done that.
46:29
And then I've been ridiculed for years
46:31
about the placement.
46:32
I am not.
46:34
I'm not falling in for that trap.
46:39
Yeah, exactly.
46:40
I'll be sleeping on the couch tonight.
46:45
um i don't know if most wives notice
46:48
oh she must be thinking about the location
46:50
still i don't know if most wives notice
46:52
but if you get banished to the couch
46:54
it's like going on a camping trip like
46:56
it's not really that big a deal like
46:59
i'm gonna bring a blanket and a pillow
47:01
i'm gonna watch tv until i fall asleep
47:05
like it's someone snoring beside me yeah
47:08
and worry about knees in my back at
47:10
any point during the night no i'm good
47:12
dude
47:14
Daniel, this has gone through my head.
47:18
It's almost like she wants me to fail.
47:21
So she can hold it over my head
47:23
for the next ten years.
47:28
That's funny.
47:29
I'm sorry.
47:31
Wayne's got the strategy.
47:32
Rev up the drill a few times and
47:34
then she'll come running to make sure
47:35
they're in the right place.
47:37
Not even for that.
47:38
What are you doing?
47:38
What are you doing?
47:40
Why is the drill on?
47:41
What are you doing?
47:42
Well,
47:43
I'm trying to get your attention and tell
47:44
me where you put these shelves up,
47:45
because if not,
47:46
I'm just going to put them up wherever
47:48
and however I want.
47:49
So when they come up looking like this,
47:51
I feel like I want to go Art
47:52
Deco and make them all slanty.
47:54
Then you ain't got nothing to say about
47:56
it.
47:59
They would never be slanty.
48:01
I am like, you know,
48:03
about like getting the level out,
48:06
making sure the shelf is just slanted.
48:09
My wife is one of those people should
48:11
start a project in the middle of it,
48:13
go F it and then walk away.
48:16
Oh yeah, no,
48:16
we don't do that at the house.
48:19
And then I'm like, well now I,
48:22
and I really believe it's her tactic to
48:23
get me to finish the job.
48:25
Mm-hmm.
48:28
Or she starts and does such a bad
48:29
job with like the paint strokes and the
48:32
drips and the, or something like that.
48:34
And I'm like, no, no, go sit down.
48:38
And that's exactly what she wanted in the
48:39
first place.
48:40
Yeah.
48:41
Got it.
48:49
So,
48:49
so there is a method to her madness.
48:54
I never,
48:55
ever said the female gender is stupid.
49:00
Oh, no.
49:01
Not at all.
49:02
My wife's the smartest person I know.
49:04
And I know some pretty smart people.
49:05
Yeah.
49:08
And she knows what she's doing.
49:11
Like,
49:12
we're coming up on our twenty ninth
49:13
wedding anniversary in May.
49:16
And we dated for five years before that.
49:18
Oh.
49:20
Thirty four.
49:21
So we've been together thirty four years.
49:26
I know her tricks.
49:28
She knows mine.
49:34
My wife is great at paint construction.
49:36
However, is like she is sacking wildcats.
49:39
Exactly.
49:41
My wife.
49:42
So we got this new thing for our
49:44
car because with my sinuses,
49:46
I blow my nose a lot.
49:47
So it's like a tissue holder that connects
49:50
to your center console.
49:52
But it also has like a pad to
49:53
put your arm on.
49:56
It adds two cup holders, right?
49:59
But the tissues are like half the size
50:04
of a regular tissue.
50:05
And she goes,
50:06
we could just take the Sawzall and cut
50:07
the tissues in half.
50:10
And I'm like,
50:12
that's like taking a cannon...
50:19
It's like taking a cannon and...
50:20
And deer hunting.
50:21
Yeah.
50:23
And I don't mean like an old musket
50:25
ball cannon, like a... Yeah,
50:27
pirate cannon.
50:32
I'm like, first of all,
50:33
the tissues are going everywhere.
50:35
You're not even going to get through the
50:36
tissues before that thing is whipping them
50:38
all over the place.
50:42
Just cut it in half with a sawzall.
50:45
You know,
50:45
that sounds like a great idea in theory.
50:47
Or we could not do that at all.
50:50
I said, or we could use scissors.
50:53
Because they're tissues.
50:56
Yeah.
50:58
Because it's paper.
50:59
It's literally made out of paper.
51:02
Oh, look at David with the subtle flex.
51:05
My wife beat some games athletes in the
51:07
deadlift workout,
51:07
but don't make a big deal out of
51:09
it.
51:11
Yeah.
51:13
I would be tooting her horn.
51:16

51:18

51:21

51:22

51:47
