  welcome to sunday sunday
• 0:34
  sunday night crossfit talk
• 0:38
  I'm your host, Clydesdale himself,
• 0:40
  Scott Schweitzer.
• 0:42
  Jamie will not be joining us tonight.
• 0:45
  Her son has graduated high school.
• 0:47
  They're holding an open
• 0:48
  house for him today, and it ran long,
• 0:50
  but we want her to spend
• 0:52
  time with family anyway.
• 0:53
  So super excited for her and
• 0:55
  her family and all of that.
• 0:58
  Carolyn is on her way.
• 1:00
  home right now she should be
• 1:02
  with us in the next two to
• 1:03
  three minutes uh so she'll
• 1:05
  jump on as well um
• 1:10
  So super stoked for her to get on.
• 1:12
  She was typing in our rundown,
• 1:14
  I'm guessing in the car on the way home.
• 1:17
  But she's out in California
• 1:18
  now for the summer.
• 1:20
  So probably doing some stuff
• 1:22
  with the Doodles and Lex
• 1:24
  and the family out there.
• 1:26
  So she'll be here in just a
• 1:27
  few short minutes.
• 1:29
  But so glad to see Larry and
• 1:31
  Craig and CrossFat already
• 1:33
  here and ready to go.
• 1:35
  Because we're going to have
• 1:36
  lively discussion tonight.
• 1:38
  with a lot of things in the
• 1:39
  CrossFit space.
• 1:40
  We're going to start with
• 1:41
  some MetFix stuff.
• 1:42
  We're going to talk a little bit to you,
• 1:43
  Claire, to me.
• 1:44
  Every week we play Factor Fiction.
• 1:46
  I'm going to read some statements.
• 1:48
  Carolyn's going to tell me
• 1:49
  Factor Fiction and why.
• 1:51
  And then we're going to go
• 1:52
  over equipment lists and
• 1:55
  movement standards.
• 1:56
  Are they needed?
• 1:57
  Do we need them?
• 1:59
  And then there's a lot of
• 2:00
  stuff that Carolyn has
• 2:03
  typed in that we'll get to,
• 2:05
  and I'll let her lead that
• 2:06
  part of the show.
• 2:08
  But before we get to that,
• 2:10
  a little catch up for this
• 2:13
  week is on Friday on my lunch show,
• 2:16
  I shared with you that my daughter,
• 2:18
  she's a photographer.
• 2:19
  She works for a company that
• 2:22
  does outdoorsy type stuff.
• 2:25
  And she is...
• 2:28
  She took a picture of they were out.
• 2:30
  Actually,
• 2:31
  they put a bear proof cooler in a
• 2:33
  bear preserve at
• 2:34
  Yellowstone National Park
• 2:36
  to see if they truly were
• 2:38
  bear proof or not.
• 2:39
  And I shared the picture.
• 2:40
  I'll share it again here.
• 2:46
  This was the result of
• 2:48
  testing if it was bear proof or not.
• 2:51
  And as you can plainly see,
• 2:54
  the bear was able to get
• 2:55
  into the cooler fairly easily,
• 2:59
  right down through the top.
• 3:00
  Did not pay attention to the
• 3:03
  locks on the side of the cooler,
• 3:05
  just went right down through the top.
• 3:08
  Some people asked me on Friday,
• 3:10
  what was in the cooler or
• 3:12
  did they rub something on the cooler?
• 3:15
  They did not rub anything on the cooler.
• 3:17
  They just had in the cooler a fish,
• 3:21
  some peanut butter,
• 3:23
  and some dog biscuits.
• 3:27
  So that's what was in the cooler.
• 3:29
  And the bear decided that he
• 3:31
  wanted them so bad,
• 3:33
  he would just rip the top off.
• 3:36
  So these coolers did not
• 3:37
  pass the test as bear proof,
• 3:40
  as you can see.
• 3:42
  But I wanted to fill in the
• 3:44
  gaps of that story from
• 3:46
  Friday as people were
• 3:49
  inquiring what was inside
• 3:50
  the cooler that made the
• 3:52
  bear want to rip it apart.
• 3:55
  And the answer was peanut butter, fish,
• 3:59
  and dog biscuits.
• 4:01
  So there you have it.
• 4:04
  answer to our story but I am
• 4:07
  I'm I cannot believe my
• 4:09
  daughter gets to do stuff
• 4:10
  like this and she gets to
• 4:13
  photograph this um
• 4:15
  videography this um it's so
• 4:19
  cool but anyway um what
• 4:24
  else is going on we've got
• 4:28
  it's been a wild weekend um
• 4:33
  Speaking of bears,
• 4:34
  Catching Up on the Bear
• 4:35
  just released last week.
• 4:37
  I am four episodes into the
• 4:39
  new season of The Bear.
• 4:41
  Much, much better than season three.
• 4:43
  I love seasons one and two.
• 4:46
  Season three was kind of a downer,
• 4:49
  but I'm really excited that
• 4:51
  season four has kind of
• 4:53
  brought it back full circle.
• 4:55
  I was told that season three
• 4:57
  was kind of a transition in the story,
• 5:00
  and I've really loved season four so far.
• 5:02
  So if you're a fan of the bear,
• 5:04
  be excited that it is
• 5:07
  coming back stronger and
• 5:09
  better than ever.
• 5:13
  Just trying to fill some
• 5:15
  time while my partner gets on.
• 5:19
  Another thing that I did,
• 5:21
  I saw a movie this week.
• 5:23
  My wife started it.
• 5:25
  It wouldn't be one that I picked.
• 5:26
  It was called Last Breath
• 5:28
  with Woody Harrelson.
• 5:30
  And it's about some deep sea
• 5:32
  divers fixing a pipeline
• 5:34
  underneath the North Sea.
• 5:37
  And some squalls made the
• 5:40
  boat dislodge from its...
• 5:43
  anchored spot and um and
• 5:47
  then all hell broke loose
• 5:50
  and they had to try to get
• 5:52
  the men up from the bottom
• 5:54
  of the sea it's called last
• 5:55
  breath I'll let you take
• 5:57
  that for what it is and uh
• 6:00
  it's on peacock right now
• 6:01
  for free if you wanted to
• 6:03
  check that one out um I
• 6:05
  give it a b a b movie
• 6:08
  We also had a CrossFit
• 6:09
  documentary released this weekend.
• 6:12
  Um, the, uh, Lucy's,
• 6:15
  the Lucy's had a road to
• 6:16
  the games come out on Friday.
• 6:19
  Um, I will tell you that I, I,
• 6:24
  I review these on my lunch
• 6:26
  show all the time.
• 6:27
  Um,
• 6:28
  this road to the games may have been
• 6:33
  the worst one yet.
• 6:34
  Um,
• 6:37
  I adore Lucy Campbell.
• 6:39
  Adore Lucy Campbell in so many ways.
• 6:43
  And her story is so, so doggone good.
• 6:46
  I think it's the best story
• 6:49
  in CrossFit today.
• 6:51
  Lucy McGonigal, I don't know much about.
• 6:53
  I'd love to know more about her.
• 6:56
  And this road to the games
• 6:58
  didn't give me anything for
• 7:01
  having an athlete that I
• 7:02
  completely adore and love her story.
• 7:05
  The comeback of two years on
• 7:07
  the sideline with surgery on her wrist.
• 7:11
  And then this up and coming
• 7:13
  young athlete that I want
• 7:14
  to know so much about.
• 7:16
  And I didn't get anything out of it.
• 7:19
  I didn't get anything.
• 7:20
  It was just, it just fell so far flat.
• 7:26
  Um, and I,
• 7:29
  I would actually give this one a D uh,
• 7:31
  my worst grade of the year
• 7:33
  of all the documentaries
• 7:35
  from all the different
• 7:36
  creators that are doing these, this style,
• 7:39
  it was, it was just bad, bad.
• 7:46
  Um,
• 7:48
  the road to the games um I
• 7:50
  like the australian one um
• 7:53
  was one of my favorites and
• 7:56
  um the one with hopper and
• 8:00
  pepper but I think that was
• 8:02
  just because of their
• 8:03
  personalities um and then
• 8:05
  the australian one was
• 8:06
  because of their
• 8:07
  personalities those were
• 8:09
  probably my two favorites
• 8:10
  of the season and I really
• 8:14
  like a lot of the people
• 8:15
  that have been in them and
• 8:16
  I just feel like they're
• 8:19
  they're just training
• 8:20
  montages at this point.
• 8:22
  They're not telling us any stories.
• 8:23
  They've lost all of the
• 8:25
  storytelling appeal.
• 8:28
  That's why we watched road to the games.
• 8:30
  We watched road to the games
• 8:32
  to learn about these people,
• 8:33
  to hear their stories
• 8:35
  before they were on the big stage.
• 8:37
  So we knew who to root for.
• 8:39
  We knew who to pull for.
• 8:42
  And we didn't get any of that in the,
• 8:44
  in these last ones,
• 8:45
  Jenny hits it right on the head.
• 8:48
  Um,
• 8:50
  you didn't get to see the Lucy's
• 8:52
  personalities at all in this none.
• 8:59
  It was, yeah.
• 9:00
  Worst one by far.
• 9:02
  Right now, Hiller's killing it.
• 9:04
  Hiller's videos are way better.
• 9:07
  They're the real road to the games.
• 9:13
  CrossFit,
• 9:13
  you just hand it over to Hiller and say,
• 9:15
  you take the name and you
• 9:17
  do road to the games.
• 9:19
  I think that's the hip and steel,
• 9:22
  the hopper.
• 9:26
  The Eric Afolo stuff,
• 9:28
  way better than anything
• 9:29
  that CrossFit's putting out
• 9:30
  with Road to the Games.
• 9:33
  When I see that he has put something up,
• 9:36
  I'm diving in quickly to watch it.
• 9:41
  He's just hitting home run after home run,
• 9:44
  and CrossFit's just
• 9:45
  starting to strike out left and right.
• 9:48
  And yeah, they need someone to...
• 9:54
  research the person, find out the story,
• 9:57
  dig into the story so we
• 9:58
  can learn about these athletes.
• 10:06
  What's up, Carolyn?
• 10:08
  Hello.
• 10:08
  Can you hear me?
• 10:09
  I can.
• 10:10
  Can you hear me?
• 10:11
  We can.
• 10:13
  Perfect.
• 10:14
  I was just tap dancing for a
• 10:15
  while while you were getting on.
• 10:19
  I was trying to listen to myself.
• 10:23
  Yeah,
• 10:25
  I was on my phone while you were
• 10:27
  talking about that.
• 10:28
  I just finished listening to
• 10:29
  it the other day.
• 10:30
  And, yeah, I felt the same thing.
• 10:33
  Like,
• 10:33
  we just didn't learn as much about them.
• 10:35
  Like,
• 10:35
  a little bit the competitiveness of
• 10:37
  Lucy and, like, in our family and stuff,
• 10:40
  but not as much, I guess,
• 10:43
  newer information on the athletes.
• 10:47
  Yeah.
• 10:48
  But, I mean, I still like watching it.
• 10:49
  Yeah.
• 10:49
  Just because I like CrossFit events.
• 10:54
  I just, I feel like I, I, I,
• 10:59
  I know that Ian Wittenberg did the old,
• 11:01
  some of the old ones.
• 11:02
  So what's,
• 11:03
  what's missing in the equation
• 11:05
  that we're not getting the,
• 11:06
  the stories that we used to get.
• 11:09
  So either find whatever that
• 11:12
  missing piece of the equation is,
• 11:14
  or just have someone else do it.
• 11:17
  Cause I don't,
• 11:19
  I need to go independent too.
• 11:24
  Like,
• 11:24
  the athletes need to be – I think the
• 11:27
  athletes also have to be –
• 11:31
  speaking about more things
• 11:33
  or opening up maybe in a
• 11:35
  different way and putting
• 11:36
  themselves out there and different,
• 11:38
  like just explaining
• 11:38
  different parts of their lives.
• 11:40
  Like if the,
• 11:41
  if the questions are not being
• 11:42
  asked maybe from the producers of it,
• 11:45
  you almost have to like
• 11:47
  take charge of where the
• 11:48
  conversations go so that
• 11:50
  you can promote yourself
• 11:51
  better as an athlete or the
• 11:52
  things that you want to
• 11:53
  highlight from your life.
• 11:55
  Cause they don't know coming
• 11:56
  in on everything about your background.
• 11:58
  So you have to,
• 12:00
  show it maybe a little bit more.
• 12:02
  And I think maybe some
• 12:03
  athletes are shy to talk
• 12:04
  about themselves and it's
• 12:07
  like a fine line between like,
• 12:12
  not bragging, but like,
• 12:13
  you still want to be able
• 12:14
  to like say things that
• 12:16
  you've done in your life so
• 12:18
  that people can get to know
• 12:19
  you and know where you come
• 12:21
  from and stuff like that.
• 12:24
  But if the questions aren't being asked,
• 12:26
  you have to do it a little bit.
• 12:28
  You have to guide the
• 12:29
  conversation and kind of
• 12:30
  read where to go from it.
• 12:33
  So I'm looking at it from a
• 12:34
  media perspective.
• 12:36
  When I first got into podcasting,
• 12:38
  and I remember distinctly
• 12:39
  like Carrie Pierce,
• 12:41
  I went to interview her and
• 12:44
  she was running down the
• 12:45
  normal answers of questions
• 12:47
  she always gets.
• 12:48
  And I had to say,
• 12:50
  I want to do this a little bit different.
• 12:51
  I just want to have a conversation.
• 12:53
  I want to learn about you.
• 12:55
  And like,
• 12:56
  I think athletes back then were
• 12:57
  so geared towards like,
• 12:59
  we're just going to get the
• 13:00
  straightforward questions.
• 13:03
  I'm ready with my answers.
• 13:05
  And I think that's what's
• 13:06
  starting to happen with the
• 13:07
  CrossFit content is we're
• 13:10
  just getting the same rundown.
• 13:13
  I think someone needs to be
• 13:15
  doing research on the athletes.
• 13:17
  Like Lucy Campbell being out
• 13:19
  for two years with the wrist issue.
• 13:22
  That should have been delved
• 13:23
  into a lot more.
• 13:25
  And then the win over Laura
• 13:30
  at Wadapalooza.
• 13:33
  It's been an exciting year for her.
• 13:35
  And we didn't get any of that.
• 13:39
  the only the only small
• 13:40
  little background is her
• 13:41
  swimming and they didn't
• 13:43
  dive it wasn't too long of
• 13:44
  a conversation on that like
• 13:45
  they didn't really dive
• 13:46
  deep into it we saw the the
• 13:48
  swim caps I would have
• 13:49
  wanted to learn a little
• 13:50
  bit more about like her
• 13:52
  swimming background and
• 13:54
  like I guess they talked a
• 13:55
  little bit about what she's
• 13:57
  won and stuff but I don't
• 13:58
  know maybe a little bit
• 13:59
  more there um if there's other sports
• 14:03
  Like Lucy, we didn't get as much.
• 14:06
  The one from... Yeah, McGonagall.
• 14:12
  Lucy M. McGonagall.
• 14:15
  Like we didn't dive as much, I don't think,
• 14:17
  into her athletic
• 14:18
  background or just a little
• 14:19
  bit competitiveness,
• 14:20
  but it would have been...
• 14:23
  And I don't know,
• 14:24
  maybe they don't have as
• 14:24
  much as certain athletes, right,
• 14:27
  for certain things.
• 14:28
  But there's...
• 14:29
  I think everyone has their
• 14:30
  unique stories that they
• 14:31
  should be able to share.
• 14:33
  It depends also if
• 14:34
  they're... If they
• 14:35
  currently live in their hometown.
• 14:37
  I know like...
• 14:39
  Like if, if I ever had a story on me,
• 14:41
  like if I was in my hometown,
• 14:42
  I'd be able to go to like
• 14:43
  my Taekwondo club and kind
• 14:45
  of show a little bit more
• 14:46
  of the roots that I had
• 14:48
  there and different things
• 14:49
  and how I used to train and
• 14:51
  where I used to do things
• 14:52
  like growing up.
• 14:53
  But if I'm not in that
• 14:55
  environment and I'm in a new place,
• 14:56
  maybe you have less,
• 14:58
  less things in that city to
• 14:59
  maybe show the people of your background.
• 15:03
  So I don't know if that's
• 15:04
  also a factor because
• 15:04
  people move as they age.
• 15:06
  Yeah.
• 15:10
  We can, yeah.
• 15:11
  That's normally a lunchtime thing.
• 15:13
  I just was killing some time.
• 15:15
  And also,
• 15:16
  Jamie was at the Pitt Fitness
• 15:17
  Ranch this weekend.
• 15:18
  We were going to do a little
• 15:19
  spot on what happened at
• 15:21
  the Pitt Fitness Ranch.
• 15:22
  But Carol and I were not
• 15:23
  there this weekend.
• 15:25
  So we are scrapping that until next week.
• 15:28
  So that takes a big chunk
• 15:29
  out of a rundown.
• 15:30
  So...
• 15:39
  uh larry here man I felt
• 15:43
  like I felt like it was all
• 15:47
  we need to do something to
• 15:49
  hype the games checking the
• 15:51
  box not genuine interest I
• 15:53
  felt like it was something
• 15:56
  crossfit felt they needed
• 15:57
  to do I'm trying to
• 15:58
  interpret this um to hype the games
• 16:04
  Yeah, like every week we're throwing it,
• 16:06
  what,
• 16:06
  is it Fridays that they're doing a
• 16:08
  release?
• 16:09
  Is that also the best day of
• 16:10
  the week to put a release
• 16:12
  for social media on a Friday?
• 16:14
  Because I feel like that's
• 16:15
  not necessarily the best.
• 16:17
  Wouldn't it be like, I don't know,
• 16:20
  I don't know as much.
• 16:22
  Well, Tuesdays are good.
• 16:27
  Thursdays are good.
• 16:29
  Fridays are not good.
• 16:33
  um so yeah I think they've
• 16:35
  been posting them like on
• 16:36
  fridays I thought maybe
• 16:38
  yeah they have that my
• 16:41
  stuff on fridays is the
• 16:42
  lowest of the week so I I
• 16:45
  would say that's probably
• 16:46
  not a good day um and if
• 16:50
  you look I think they say
• 16:51
  like youtube I mean I'm
• 16:52
  glad that they're doing something yeah
• 17:00
  I'm glad they're doing something.
• 17:02
  At least better than nothing.
• 17:04
  Tia hyped the games with a
• 17:05
  fifteen second video.
• 17:09
  And we actually got an
• 17:10
  answer in the fifteen second video.
• 17:14
  Which was awesome.
• 17:17
  Kudos to Tia.
• 17:19
  She's back.
• 17:22
  She is.
• 17:24
  Any thoughts about her?
• 17:25
  I never doubted her.
• 17:28
  I never thought she wasn't.
• 17:30
  Right.
• 17:32
  So I do have a question for
• 17:34
  you about her comeback.
• 17:37
  So my first question to you is,
• 17:39
  does her high rocks
• 17:40
  training really affect her?
• 17:43
  No,
• 17:44
  did you see how dominant she was at
• 17:45
  Torian?
• 17:46
  And, like, she didn't beat bad people.
• 17:50
  Like, Gracie Walton's great.
• 17:54
  Maddie Sturt's a great athlete,
• 17:55
  like a top ten last year
• 17:57
  and has been to the games multiple times.
• 17:59
  I'm missing someone right now.
• 18:02
  Gracie Walton, Maddie Sturt.
• 18:05
  A bunch of other ones that were, like,
• 18:07
  very good,
• 18:08
  and they weren't even in the
• 18:09
  same playing field.
• 18:11
  Like it's, she's so far ahead.
• 18:15
  Um, easy McDonald.
• 18:18
  Yeah.
• 18:18
  Yeah.
• 18:19
  Um, Emily DeRoy, um, few others,
• 18:23
  like they're not bad
• 18:25
  athletes by any means.
• 18:26
  And they just are not in the
• 18:27
  same play box right now.
• 18:31
  It's uh,
• 18:32
  that's without forty days of
• 18:33
  training for the games.
• 18:37
  Yeah,
• 18:37
  like I would have thought on the
• 18:38
  clean ladder,
• 18:39
  I was thinking maybe she'll
• 18:41
  lose a little bit of
• 18:42
  strength on the clean.
• 18:44
  And then she was looking great.
• 18:47
  They didn't look overly difficult at all.
• 18:49
  She's jogging between the stations.
• 18:50
  I'm like, oh man, this is over.
• 18:52
  If this is the strength
• 18:53
  event and she has no
• 18:55
  difficult time after
• 18:57
  running a lot of the year, I was like,
• 19:00
  okay, Tia of the old is still here.
• 19:05
  Second question.
• 19:06
  Did the illness at High
• 19:08
  Rocks show a chink in her armor?
• 19:13
  No,
• 19:13
  I think everyone can be sick at any
• 19:16
  point.
• 19:16
  She has been sick in eight years.
• 19:20
  No,
• 19:20
  just at a major competition that we
• 19:22
  know of.
• 19:23
  She could have been sick and
• 19:24
  still smoked her butts.
• 19:26
  I don't know.
• 19:30
  No, she's TSTO.
• 19:33
  No, no one is,
• 19:36
  no one's on our level right now.
• 19:44
  My last question to you is,
• 19:46
  was going to be, she,
• 19:48
  can she be ready in thirty six days?
• 19:50
  I guess my real question is,
• 19:52
  is she ready now?
• 19:53
  Yes.
• 19:55
  Tia's ready at any point.
• 19:58
  She's accumulated so much
• 19:59
  volume of CrossFit over the years.
• 20:02
  It's kind of like me as an aging athlete,
• 20:05
  right?
• 20:06
  Hold on.
• 20:06
  I will rephrase that.
• 20:07
  She is nothing like me.
• 20:08
  Okay.
• 20:09
  We are nothing alike.
• 20:10
  But as an aging athlete,
• 20:12
  I don't need to do as much
• 20:14
  as a volume as what I used
• 20:16
  to do because I've
• 20:17
  accumulated a certain
• 20:18
  amount of reps that I can, you know,
• 20:20
  I don't,
• 20:21
  I just need to touch up on things
• 20:22
  just to maintain it.
• 20:24
  Tia,
• 20:25
  a significantly fitter athlete than me,
• 20:29
  has a huge volume that
• 20:30
  she's done her whole career
• 20:32
  that she just needs to
• 20:33
  touch up on the rings a
• 20:34
  little bit and then muscle
• 20:36
  memory will be there.
• 20:38
  It's just the strength part
• 20:40
  that takes maybe a little
• 20:41
  bit more as she's lost
• 20:43
  maybe some muscle mass running a lot.
• 20:46
  but the technique has always
• 20:48
  been great for her so if
• 20:50
  the technique is dialed in
• 20:51
  and the gymnastics is
• 20:51
  probably easier right now
• 20:52
  for her even more so and
• 20:54
  she was always great at
• 20:55
  gymnastics like there's
• 20:57
  really not much besides raw
• 21:01
  strength that she needs to
• 21:02
  maybe get back and then
• 21:04
  just touch up on some of
• 21:05
  the skills again um lana
• 21:09
  makes a good point her
• 21:09
  event one will benefit from
• 21:11
  her high rocks training
• 21:13
  Absolutely.
• 21:15
  Absolutely.
• 21:16
  That's going to be a great event for her.
• 21:19
  Who would you say is the
• 21:20
  strongest woman going into
• 21:21
  the games right now?
• 21:24
  If you're talking about just pure strength,
• 21:27
  even if Tia was not doing high rocks,
• 21:30
  it would be Olivia Kerstetter.
• 21:36
  Oh, yeah.
• 21:37
  I forgot about that.
• 21:38
  Yeah,
• 21:38
  I was trying to think of the women's
• 21:39
  field right now.
• 21:40
  Let me grab the women's field.
• 21:42
  Even if Tia was training CrossFit all year,
• 21:45
  it would still be Olivia
• 21:46
  Kerstetter would be the
• 21:48
  strongest pure strength
• 21:50
  athlete at the Games.
• 21:53
  Yes.
• 21:54
  But if you're saying
• 21:55
  strongest in the field to win,
• 21:59
  I would say it's still Tia.
• 22:07
  I'm trying I don't I don't
• 22:09
  know where I saw the list
• 22:10
  of all the athletes was it
• 22:11
  barbell spin or the games
• 22:13
  yeah you can go to the
• 22:14
  leaderboard it's populated
• 22:15
  okay the game's leaderboard
• 22:18
  is populated I can I'm
• 22:23
  gonna because we're on this
• 22:24
  kind kind of topic I'm
• 22:26
  gonna hold metfix for a
• 22:28
  second I'm gonna go to the
• 22:29
  factor fiction because it's
• 22:31
  kind of along these lines
• 22:37
  And I'm going to start there.
• 22:37
  I thought a lot of the girls
• 22:38
  this year that have
• 22:40
  qualified to the games are
• 22:42
  not strength dominant athletes.
• 22:45
  They're fit.
• 22:46
  They're high skilled gym,
• 22:47
  not gymnasts in the field and fit.
• 22:50
  There's not,
• 22:52
  there's not a strength
• 22:54
  specialist really in the
• 22:55
  field besides Kerstetter and.
• 23:02
  gazan if she was healthy
• 23:04
  like upper body like like
• 23:06
  pressing for like bench
• 23:07
  press stuff like that like
• 23:08
  some um oh and the dark
• 23:11
  horse in there is ariel
• 23:14
  ariel went I would consider
• 23:16
  her a strength specialist
• 23:17
  like ariel is so well
• 23:18
  rounded as an athlete like
• 23:19
  her gymnastics her strength
• 23:21
  has gotten so good oh yeah
• 23:23
  she's a toe with tia at
• 23:25
  water palooza socal um
• 23:30
  She only lost to Tia by five pounds.
• 23:33
  A lot of good endurance.
• 23:34
  Yeah, maybe Abby Domet.
• 23:36
  Yeah, that's a good one.
• 23:39
  Abby Domet.
• 23:42
  Annika is very strong too.
• 23:44
  She is.
• 23:45
  Like on certain lifts, very, very strong.
• 23:47
  She's very strong.
• 23:48
  But I'd say like the
• 23:48
  strength specialist in the
• 23:49
  field is definitely Olivia.
• 23:51
  You're right.
• 23:53
  Yeah.
• 23:53
  Olivia by far wins any lift.
• 23:59
  at this point yeah you you
• 24:00
  would think so there's a
• 24:03
  couple of them that I don't
• 24:04
  know enough information on
• 24:06
  but yeah just looking at
• 24:08
  the field very very good
• 24:09
  gymnast very um a lot of
• 24:13
  good cardio people too in
• 24:14
  there yeah so let's do some
• 24:20
  factor fiction we'll play
• 24:21
  the game early and then uh
• 24:23
  and that'll get us moving
• 24:24
  on some stuff so my first
• 24:27
  factor fiction to you is
• 24:30
  I heard this as a bubble up somewhere,
• 24:32
  so I want to get your opinion.
• 24:34
  The reason Dave is taking on
• 24:36
  the programming this year
• 24:37
  and possibly documenting it
• 24:40
  as a book is because this
• 24:42
  is his last year as games programmer,
• 24:45
  regardless of the sale of CrossFit.
• 24:51
  What year is this for him?
• 24:52
  Because he had talked about
• 24:53
  something like twenty... Yeah,
• 24:55
  this is year nineteen.
• 24:58
  I feel like he might want to do one more.
• 25:02
  So I'm going to say fiction.
• 25:06
  I think it depends how this year goes.
• 25:08
  And yeah.
• 25:14
  So as a parent, I say it's possible fact.
• 25:20
  Oh, with the sale, definitely.
• 25:23
  Like you don't know what can happen.
• 25:24
  They can be like, okay,
• 25:25
  we need to revamp this new face here.
• 25:29
  I'm saying regardless of the sale,
• 25:31
  even if there was no sale fact,
• 25:33
  his kids are in high school.
• 25:35
  That is when like my focus
• 25:38
  had to shift completely onto my kid,
• 25:42
  right?
• 25:42
  High school is a very,
• 25:43
  very tough time for them
• 25:45
  and for you as a parent and
• 25:47
  the activity goes way up and his,
• 25:49
  that's where his kids are
• 25:50
  right now or his daughter
• 25:51
  is at least who's running
• 25:53
  cross country and doing all
• 25:55
  of those kinds of things.
• 25:57
  And I think that with
• 25:58
  everything that's gone on
• 25:59
  the past few seasons,
• 26:02
  at some point you've got to say, yeah,
• 26:05
  twenty would be nice,
• 26:06
  but is the juice worth the squeeze?
• 26:11
  And I just think that maybe
• 26:12
  he's done after this year.
• 26:14
  But again,
• 26:16
  I'm not going a hundred percent all in.
• 26:19
  Yes, this is his last season,
• 26:21
  but I do think it's a very
• 26:23
  strong possibility.
• 26:25
  Yeah, I mean,
• 26:26
  I think it's a strong possibility, too.
• 26:29
  So,
• 26:31
  I just thought that was a fun question.
• 26:35
  Factor fiction number two.
• 26:37
  And we've got four of them this week.
• 26:39
  Factor fiction.
• 26:40
  A healthy Alex Kazan could
• 26:42
  have given Tia a run for
• 26:43
  the title this year.
• 26:47
  Fiction.
• 26:48
  I think she podiums.
• 26:51
  I think Gazan needs more
• 26:52
  help from the field.
• 26:54
  I think she would,
• 26:55
  because even if Gazan beats
• 26:57
  Tia in an event, Tia gets second.
• 27:01
  She needs the like Emma Lawson, the, uh,
• 27:05
  Laura Horvath, Gabby, Emma Tall, uh,
• 27:11
  Freyova.
• 27:12
  Like you need, you just need that, those,
• 27:14
  that depth to go in.
• 27:17
  Tia's just too far ahead.
• 27:19
  Um,
• 27:21
  Gozan has been looking amazing.
• 27:23
  I think podium.
• 27:25
  Definitely beating Tia.
• 27:30
  No.
• 27:30
  That's Denise was the only
• 27:36
  one that went fact in the chat.
• 27:39
  Everybody else was.
• 27:40
  So Denise went fact and then nope.
• 27:43
  Fiction.
• 27:44
  No.
• 27:46
  And then CrossFit maker
• 27:47
  snatch one twenty five
• 27:48
  three times and Tia wins.
• 27:51
  Not quite that bad for CrossFit.
• 27:53
  That might be a little bit sarcastic.
• 27:55
  I think, I think, uh, make who snatch,
• 27:58
  make Gazan snatch.
• 28:02
  Power snatch.
• 28:03
  Like I've seen her snatch on
• 28:06
  her Instagram.
• 28:06
  I want to say like one ninety five.
• 28:09
  She always had good snatch sessions.
• 28:12
  She has the strength that
• 28:13
  just the odd execution,
• 28:15
  maybe under the pressure,
• 28:16
  but she has more than
• 28:17
  enough strength to snatch
• 28:19
  well above two hundred.
• 28:20
  And I'm sure she probably
• 28:21
  has hit that in training.
• 28:22
  We just haven't seen it.
• 28:23
  Yeah.
• 28:26
  But yeah, like on the event,
• 28:29
  you never know the answer.
• 28:31
  But I was just curious.
• 28:32
  Yeah.
• 28:33
  On the events that Gazan gets Tia.
• 28:38
  tia is still a top three top
• 28:41
  five at the worst
• 28:43
  And there may be one or two
• 28:45
  events where Alex doesn't get, you know,
• 28:48
  that top five.
• 28:49
  Like that first event, for instance,
• 28:51
  with all the running, Tia wins that.
• 28:53
  I don't see Alex in a top five,
• 28:56
  a healthy Alex in the top
• 28:57
  five in that event.
• 28:58
  Like there's, you know, there's Kringle,
• 29:00
  there's Hayley Adams.
• 29:01
  If, you know,
• 29:02
  if Hayley has her regular running,
• 29:05
  Lucy's a great runner.
• 29:06
  There's a bunch of them that
• 29:07
  are great runners.
• 29:09
  I would put ahead of
• 29:11
  Hattie's a great runner.
• 29:13
  you know, ahead of Alex there.
• 29:15
  And it's like,
• 29:16
  where is she making that up
• 29:17
  on other events at the games?
• 29:20
  It would just be too hard.
• 29:21
  I think maybe another year
• 29:25
  or two as Tia ages out, Alex could do it.
• 29:31
  Yeah.
• 29:33
  Yeah.
• 29:33
  I mean, I think,
• 29:35
  I think Alex is probably
• 29:36
  our next best bet to be a champion.
• 29:39
  It's just, when is that?
• 29:40
  When is it going to happen?
• 29:44
  All right.
• 29:45
  Yeah.
• 29:46
  There's a few of them.
• 29:47
  It would have been nice to
• 29:48
  see Gabby too healthy.
• 29:50
  I would have liked to have
• 29:51
  seen that battle of Alex versus Gabby.
• 29:53
  They're completely different athletes,
• 29:55
  but that would have been,
• 29:56
  that would have been a good one.
• 29:59
  Cross fat.
• 30:01
  If Laura's there,
• 30:01
  does Alex have a shot at getting closer?
• 30:06
  I think so.
• 30:08
  Closer.
• 30:09
  Yeah.
• 30:10
  closer yes but still not and
• 30:12
  emma lawson too if emma
• 30:13
  lawson's healthy like that
• 30:14
  but the thing is we can't
• 30:16
  if this person's healthy if
• 30:16
  this person's like it's
• 30:19
  yeah we could go down the
• 30:21
  list of of different things
• 30:22
  more opportunities for
• 30:24
  people to get between alex
• 30:25
  and tia and event the
• 30:26
  better her chances but
• 30:28
  they're not there
• 30:28
  absolutely yeah yeah
• 30:32
  because there there's many
• 30:34
  athletes that are missing
• 30:36
  from the women's field this year that
• 30:39
  I think are very,
• 30:40
  very fit and would be podium contenders,
• 30:45
  not winners, podium contenders.
• 30:46
  All right.
• 30:50
  Factor fiction.
• 30:50
  Number three,
• 30:53
  no less than eight men have
• 30:54
  the ability to win the
• 30:56
  CrossFit games this year.
• 30:59
  Fiction.
• 31:03
  Jeff Adler is going to win the games.
• 31:09
  And you feel so strongly about that,
• 31:12
  that nobody, none of the other,
• 31:16
  I don't think there's eight.
• 31:17
  No, no,
• 31:21
  I don't think that there's eight at most,
• 31:23
  maybe four to five at most.
• 31:29
  I think there's like eight amazing,
• 31:32
  amazing.
• 31:32
  Like I can, you know,
• 31:34
  Dallin, Austin, James, Roman, Ricky, Jeff,
• 31:41
  Jay.
• 31:42
  Like that's seven right there.
• 31:44
  Who am I missing?
• 31:46
  But like to really win it, I don't know.
• 31:51
  So I had to come up with the number.
• 31:54
  So I have Hopper.
• 31:57
  I have Madaris.
• 31:59
  I have Hatfield, Ricky, Roman, Dallin.
• 32:10
  um james greg adler and jay
• 32:14
  crouch yeah I mean there's
• 32:17
  there's definitely eight on
• 32:18
  paper that are elite in my
• 32:23
  mind there's still a small
• 32:25
  little tier within that
• 32:28
  okay I think I think clock
• 32:31
  yeah on those ones would be
• 32:34
  Adler, Spray, Pepper, Hadfield.
• 32:36
  I think Ricky could still do it.
• 32:41
  Roman's done.
• 32:42
  Roman's done clock.
• 32:46
  Stop saying Mertens.
• 32:47
  Colton is not going to win the games.
• 32:53
  Yeah, not going to win the games.
• 32:55
  Love him as an athlete.
• 32:57
  He's a home run hitter.
• 32:59
  He's closed the gap on so many things.
• 33:02
  I don't, I mean, just the first event,
• 33:05
  I don't think that that's a
• 33:08
  particularly great event for Colton.
• 33:16
  As much as he has to exert
• 33:18
  to overcome a lot of the
• 33:19
  hurdles in a longer event hurts him.
• 33:23
  The more days he has to go,
• 33:25
  the harder it is for him.
• 33:28
  And I love the man.
• 33:29
  He's one of my favorite
• 33:30
  people in the world.
• 33:33
  I will root for him and cheer for him.
• 33:35
  But it's too much to overcome,
• 33:39
  especially with this field.
• 33:41
  Because you have one bad
• 33:42
  event with this many good people,
• 33:45
  it's the reverse of what we
• 33:46
  were talking about with Tia.
• 33:48
  If you have one bad event,
• 33:50
  a lot of these guys are
• 33:51
  going to jump in between.
• 33:53
  There's too many good people to mess up.
• 33:57
  They're just too well-rounded.
• 33:58
  Someone like Jeff is so well-rounded.
• 34:01
  He's such a good runner.
• 34:02
  He's a great lifter.
• 34:04
  He is great at gymnastics.
• 34:06
  The only time that he loses
• 34:08
  points on the men's field
• 34:09
  is a very high power output event,
• 34:12
  like on an echo bike,
• 34:13
  where he just doesn't match
• 34:15
  some of the bigger males in the field.
• 34:20
  And then maybe an odd event that...
• 34:23
  is new to everyone where he
• 34:25
  just has to adapt.
• 34:26
  But other than that,
• 34:27
  he's so well-rounded to the
• 34:31
  point where I don't see him
• 34:37
  like losing that many points.
• 34:40
  to those athletes.
• 34:42
  So, but again, you saw WFP,
• 34:44
  he had a bad execution on
• 34:45
  the last event and things
• 34:46
  can happen or who knows an
• 34:48
  injury can be there going
• 34:50
  into the games and we don't
• 34:51
  know about it.
• 34:51
  Like someone can have a back
• 34:52
  injury or something.
• 34:54
  A six event weekend and a
• 34:57
  nine or ten event weekend
• 34:58
  are two different things.
• 34:59
  Totally.
• 35:01
  The games are different.
• 35:03
  If I'm picking the winner today,
• 35:04
  I'm picking Jeff.
• 35:05
  Me too.
• 35:07
  Right.
• 35:07
  Like that.
• 35:08
  I, and so I agree with you on that, but I,
• 35:11
  I just don't know if
• 35:12
  there's eight that like real, I mean, yes,
• 35:16
  everything always depends
• 35:17
  on the programming.
• 35:18
  Like, yes,
• 35:19
  but I don't know that I would
• 35:20
  have eight that like,
• 35:22
  I feel would win the games.
• 35:25
  Like regardless of me
• 35:27
  knowing the programming, that'd be like,
• 35:29
  yep, that person is winning.
• 35:32
  Like maybe five, five.
• 35:38
  So I'll say fiction for a little bit.
• 35:40
  That was maybe a little bit too many.
• 35:41
  Okay, I'm going fact on that one.
• 35:44
  I think I am in the minority by far.
• 35:48
  But those athletes you named
• 35:49
  are the ones I'm thinking of too.
• 35:50
  I forgot Justin.
• 35:51
  I don't know how I forgot Justin, but yeah,
• 35:52
  he'd be in the mix of the top eight.
• 35:57
  So this idea came from regular sports,
• 36:00
  not CrossFit.
• 36:02
  If you've watched the NBA playoffs at all,
• 36:05
  several athletes went down
• 36:06
  with Achilles tears.
• 36:08
  And they seem to be on the rise.
• 36:11
  So one of the analysts came
• 36:13
  up with a theory that too
• 36:16
  many kids are becoming
• 36:17
  one-sport athletes and
• 36:19
  overusing their muscles, tendons,
• 36:22
  and ligaments in the same
• 36:23
  manner over and over and over again.
• 36:26
  And by the time they become adults,
• 36:28
  it's weakened to the point
• 36:30
  where that's where we're
• 36:30
  getting ligament tears, Achilles, tendons,
• 36:35
  all of that stuff happening.
• 36:37
  factor fiction.
• 36:39
  Because too many kids are
• 36:40
  playing one sport their whole lives.
• 36:42
  It's causing these ligament
• 36:44
  tendon injuries later in life.
• 36:53
  I don't know if it's a cause.
• 36:55
  But it's only a factor maybe.
• 36:59
  I think.
• 37:02
  Sure, I'll say fact, but I think that
• 37:07
  People are not training correctly as well.
• 37:10
  I think like in the NBA,
• 37:11
  they're playing eighty eighty,
• 37:12
  eighty two games or something like that.
• 37:13
  And in the season, they need to be.
• 37:19
  More cautious,
• 37:20
  like the game is different
• 37:21
  than it used to be as well.
• 37:25
  I just think that with the
• 37:27
  speed of the game being
• 37:28
  much faster and a lot of sport,
• 37:30
  like a lot of sports are
• 37:31
  just faster now than they used to be.
• 37:33
  And there's more impact and there's.
• 37:36
  just,
• 37:37
  it's just a little bit different than
• 37:38
  the surfaces are different sometimes.
• 37:39
  I just think maybe there's
• 37:42
  gotta be stuff in the
• 37:43
  training that people aren't
• 37:44
  really getting.
• 37:46
  And yeah,
• 37:46
  a lot of people are specializing very,
• 37:48
  very early.
• 37:50
  I think I watched an interview,
• 37:51
  like an NBA interview where,
• 37:53
  you know people don't don't
• 37:54
  just play basketball
• 37:55
  anymore like they're just
• 37:55
  so repetitive with the
• 37:58
  coaching and you have to do
• 37:59
  this when this happens this
• 38:01
  versus just kind of being
• 38:02
  creative and kind of like
• 38:04
  that kairi type creativity
• 38:07
  that we're not seeing as
• 38:09
  much in the game as much
• 38:10
  anymore um I just think
• 38:13
  play sports is is good in
• 38:15
  general for your body like you
• 38:18
  you don't have as much overuse injuries.
• 38:21
  You develop way more skills
• 38:24
  that are transferable from
• 38:25
  one sport to the next,
• 38:26
  or you just learn from different coaches,
• 38:29
  different athletes.
• 38:31
  I think the more you can
• 38:32
  surround yourself with
• 38:32
  different types of athletes,
• 38:33
  the more you can kind of be
• 38:34
  a sponge and just grab
• 38:37
  things from everyone.
• 38:38
  Too many people are specializing early,
• 38:41
  way too early.
• 38:44
  I am an anti-one sport focus.
• 38:46
  Oh, me too.
• 38:47
  So any evidence that sends
• 38:50
  me down the path to fight against that,
• 38:52
  I am going to join that, whatever it is.
• 38:55
  So I have a very distinct bias.
• 38:57
  I was a four-sport athlete
• 38:59
  all the way through high school.
• 39:00
  It wasn't until I got to
• 39:01
  college that I had to focus on one sport.
• 39:04
  And I had a great childhood because of it.
• 39:08
  I was never going to be a
• 39:10
  pro football player or a
• 39:11
  pro baseball player,
• 39:12
  but I had fun playing those
• 39:13
  sports and I didn't need to
• 39:15
  travel all around the country.
• 39:18
  I could just play with my
• 39:19
  friends in the local town
• 39:20
  league and have a blast.
• 39:22
  Um,
• 39:25
  But I think it is a
• 39:27
  compelling argument that if
• 39:29
  you're doing a repetitive
• 39:30
  motion over and over and
• 39:32
  over and over and over again,
• 39:33
  eventually you're going to pay for that,
• 39:37
  whether it's in sports or whatever.
• 39:42
  Andrew,
• 39:42
  I was more talking about – so
• 39:44
  Andrew – who wrote?
• 39:46
  No, CrossFat wrote.
• 39:48
  Kyrie has a ton of lower body injuries.
• 39:51
  I didn't mean in terms of
• 39:52
  him doing multiple sports.
• 39:54
  I don't know his athletic background.
• 39:56
  I was more meaning of like I
• 39:58
  like the creativity.
• 39:59
  Like a lot of basketball
• 40:01
  players or just sport
• 40:03
  athletes right now that are
• 40:03
  specializing have so many
• 40:06
  coaches that are
• 40:06
  specializing like young –
• 40:09
  they're just going through
• 40:10
  camps and one-on-one with
• 40:11
  these coaches and they have to do this,
• 40:14
  this, this, and it's just very,
• 40:15
  very structured type of training regimen.
• 40:19
  And I think that allowing a
• 40:21
  little bit more creativity with the ball,
• 40:24
  like help develop the,
• 40:26
  Like,
• 40:26
  I think it was LeBron that was
• 40:27
  talking about it.
• 40:28
  Like,
• 40:28
  people don't just go to an outdoor
• 40:31
  place and just hoop for fun.
• 40:32
  And, like, you have those Ja Morants,
• 40:34
  those Kyrie that are just
• 40:36
  freestyle-type athletes
• 40:37
  sometimes when they're on the court.
• 40:39
  And I think that there's something about,
• 40:43
  you know, playing for fun,
• 40:46
  not just so structured all
• 40:47
  the time and just having fun.
• 40:49
  fun that just helps you
• 40:51
  develop as an athlete, other things.
• 40:53
  And then that was just,
• 40:54
  that was just a side point.
• 40:55
  But then the injury is just, yeah,
• 40:56
  playing a lot of sports is important.
• 40:59
  I have a lot of athletes at
• 41:00
  school that are just one
• 41:01
  sport athlete and you give
• 41:02
  them a ball in another sport.
• 41:03
  And I'm like, geez,
• 41:05
  like you are not good at this sport.
• 41:08
  Like to me,
• 41:09
  an athlete is someone that can
• 41:10
  play a lot of sports.
• 41:11
  Like it's,
• 41:12
  I'm always like of the opinion
• 41:13
  that an athlete, you can give them a ball,
• 41:16
  a racket, anything,
• 41:17
  and they're proficient with any of those.
• 41:20
  And when you're just so
• 41:21
  specialized in one sport at
• 41:23
  a certain age that I give
• 41:25
  you any type of a ball and
• 41:27
  you look so uncoordinated, I'm like,
• 41:29
  you're not very athletic.
• 41:32
  This is coming from the
• 41:33
  woman who played professional ice hockey,
• 41:37
  who was a junior Olympian in taekwondo,
• 41:40
  who was a national champion in soccer.
• 41:45
  And I think that actually
• 41:46
  Andrew makes a great point here,
• 41:48
  and he's picking up on
• 41:49
  other people's points as well.
• 41:51
  I think CrossFit is right.
• 41:52
  They compete way too much,
• 41:54
  which cuts into training
• 41:55
  and development time.
• 41:57
  I think that's probably even
• 41:59
  a bigger culprit to it all.
• 42:02
  is we have these kids
• 42:04
  traveling all over the country now,
• 42:06
  competing in a sport,
• 42:08
  and they don't get practice time.
• 42:09
  They don't get development time.
• 42:11
  They're not swinging correctly.
• 42:12
  They're not throwing correctly.
• 42:14
  How many pitchers come into
• 42:15
  the major leagues and
• 42:16
  within the first three
• 42:17
  years are having Tommy John surgery?
• 42:20
  Because they're not throwing efficiently.
• 42:26
  And just listening to your body.
• 42:29
  Right.
• 42:29
  I think you have to listen to your body.
• 42:32
  Like acute injuries are going to happen,
• 42:34
  especially in contact
• 42:35
  sports or something like that,
• 42:36
  where something happens and, you know,
• 42:40
  someone falls on your knee
• 42:42
  and your ACL or your MCL goes like that.
• 42:45
  That'll happen.
• 42:46
  But a lot of the like wear
• 42:49
  and tear happens.
• 42:51
  like it's just a lot of
• 42:52
  repetition and maybe just
• 42:53
  not strengthening other
• 42:55
  parts of your body or
• 42:56
  balancing out or just
• 42:57
  listening and taking rest days.
• 42:59
  And, you know, in basketball right now,
• 43:04
  like it's frowned upon right now,
• 43:06
  you know,
• 43:06
  the people that will sit out games,
• 43:08
  especially as ticket
• 43:08
  holders want to go and
• 43:09
  watch their favorite athletes play.
• 43:11
  And maybe,
• 43:12
  maybe as we start seeing injuries go up,
• 43:15
  the league can go start
• 43:16
  going down in games so that athletes can,
• 43:19
  can be there a little bit
• 43:20
  more like playing because I don't know,
• 43:23
  maybe it's too much for how
• 43:25
  fast the game is now,
• 43:26
  but it was more physical back then.
• 43:28
  Like there's a lot more threes.
• 43:29
  I don't know.
• 43:30
  I don't know what the answer is.
• 43:31
  If it's just the lack of training.
• 43:33
  I mean,
• 43:33
  I look at a lot of the way that
• 43:34
  athletes train and I'm like,
• 43:36
  they don't move very well
• 43:36
  in the weight room.
• 43:38
  And a lot of the trainers
• 43:39
  suck like Olympic athletes
• 43:42
  that are getting trained,
• 43:43
  can't move properly.
• 43:44
  And I'm like looking at their training and,
• 43:46
  and I'm like,
• 43:48
  They're not squatting very well.
• 43:50
  And then you wonder why they
• 43:50
  have knee problems and they
• 43:52
  do a quarter squat like
• 43:54
  their entire life.
• 43:54
  They never squat to death.
• 43:58
  Yeah,
• 43:58
  I think like a lot of them don't have
• 44:00
  good trainers, to be honest.
• 44:03
  Denise, some of my teammates,
• 44:05
  when they came to my like
• 44:06
  CrossFit Coliseum,
• 44:07
  like my not my my like the
• 44:10
  gym that I train at.
• 44:13
  like we helped move them and
• 44:14
  I was like man like if they
• 44:16
  if they just learn to move
• 44:17
  better I bet that they
• 44:19
  would get injured a lot
• 44:20
  less just strengthening you
• 44:23
  know different muscles that
• 44:24
  they're not working on but
• 44:25
  I don't go in like full
• 44:26
  range of motion and there's
• 44:28
  a time and place to do kind
• 44:29
  of like quarter squats and
• 44:30
  to develop power and speed
• 44:32
  and certain things but if you never ever
• 44:36
  you know, sit in the bottom of a squat?
• 44:38
  And how many times do you
• 44:39
  have to change directions
• 44:39
  and your body is going to
• 44:41
  be in that position under
• 44:43
  high stress and load as you
• 44:44
  change directions?
• 44:45
  Like you have to be able to
• 44:46
  train that way.
• 44:47
  And they're just,
• 44:48
  I think there's a lot of
• 44:49
  bad trainers out there.
• 44:51
  I think some of the best
• 44:51
  ones are at CrossFit gyms, to be honest.
• 44:54
  Denise wants to know how
• 44:55
  many times did you get to
• 44:57
  play stickball or kickball in the street?
• 45:02
  Often.
• 45:03
  Did I play growing up?
• 45:06
  like the one street that's
• 45:08
  beside me we used to go and
• 45:10
  play uh street hockey all
• 45:11
  the time like you put the
• 45:13
  nets when the cars go you
• 45:14
  move the net so that the
• 45:15
  cars can go it's either
• 45:17
  that or basketball on the
• 45:18
  street just like a scene
• 45:20
  out of ways all the time
• 45:24
  move the nets and then you
• 45:25
  don't park any any nice
• 45:26
  looking cars by by the by
• 45:28
  the the hockey net so you
• 45:30
  don't you don't hit them
• 45:33
  CrossFit wants to know, yeah, I mean,
• 45:35
  if Canadians didn't play so much hockey,
• 45:36
  maybe they'd win a cup.
• 45:40
  Someone's sitting below the belt.
• 45:41
  No comment there.
• 45:46
  All right.
• 45:47
  Well, that was a good discussion.
• 45:50
  I loved playing all sports
• 45:52
  when I was a kid.
• 45:53
  And because I wasn't
• 45:55
  traveling or doing all those other things,
• 45:57
  I got to go play kickball
• 45:59
  in my friend's side yard or
• 46:02
  softball or baseball or whatever.
• 46:05
  We were always outside doing something.
• 46:09
  um which I love like me like
• 46:11
  I played so many like I was
• 46:13
  still playing three sports
• 46:14
  all the way until my first
• 46:15
  crossfit games I was still
• 46:16
  playing soccer hockey and
• 46:18
  crossfit but like I was
• 46:21
  getting mad at myself
• 46:21
  because I'm like man I you
• 46:22
  know I stopped playing
• 46:23
  sports I didn't want to get
• 46:24
  injured for crossfit and
• 46:25
  then I continued to play
• 46:27
  hockey until two years ago
• 46:28
  but it's almost like once
• 46:30
  you stop you have this fear
• 46:31
  of getting injured
• 46:33
  playing other sports.
• 46:34
  And I never had that fear.
• 46:36
  Like I was playing hockey
• 46:37
  and I never feared that I
• 46:38
  was going to get injured
• 46:38
  and I couldn't compete in CrossFit.
• 46:40
  But now that I don't do any
• 46:42
  other sport and I've just CrossFitted,
• 46:44
  I guess, for the past year,
• 46:46
  it's almost like I get
• 46:47
  scared to do another sport.
• 46:48
  And I hate that I have that
• 46:49
  mentality because I never
• 46:51
  had that my entire life.
• 46:54
  And I think people that don't play sports,
• 46:55
  like maybe, I don't know,
• 46:56
  maybe they have that, oh,
• 46:57
  I can't play this because I have to,
• 47:00
  I can't get injured for this and this.
• 47:02
  And I want to get back to
• 47:03
  playing more sports because
• 47:05
  I think when you play more sports,
• 47:07
  like you play more freely.
• 47:08
  If you don't play,
• 47:09
  you almost are hesitant and
• 47:11
  you're holding back.
• 47:12
  And when you hold back, that's worse.
• 47:14
  That's when you do get injured.
• 47:16
  So I think that stopping for me,
• 47:19
  is not good like I want it I
• 47:20
  don't want to stop for too
• 47:21
  long like I got to get back
• 47:22
  to playing sports because
• 47:24
  like yeah it's just it's a
• 47:25
  weird feeling that I've
• 47:26
  never had before where it's
• 47:28
  like my some of my students
• 47:29
  sometimes will be like oh
• 47:30
  play and like I don't play
• 47:31
  with my students ever
• 47:32
  because it's not my time to
• 47:33
  play it's like I want them
• 47:34
  to be active but like I
• 47:36
  have this fear of like oh
• 47:37
  no what if I get injured
• 47:39
  like I've never had that fear before
• 47:41
  So I got to get out of my head.
• 47:46
  Because, you know,
• 47:46
  I gained a lot of weight
• 47:48
  and stopped doing everything.
• 47:49
  And then I lost two hundred
• 47:51
  fifty pounds and I played
• 47:52
  in a men's flag football
• 47:53
  league after that.
• 47:55
  And I played in a softball
• 47:56
  league and I was having the
• 47:57
  time of my life.
• 47:58
  I'm out there playing flag
• 47:59
  football at fifty years old
• 48:01
  and there are twenty year
• 48:03
  olds playing against me and
• 48:05
  I am having a ball, you know,
• 48:07
  and we made the playoffs
• 48:08
  like every year we played.
• 48:10
  It was so much fun.
• 48:12
  And it's so,
• 48:13
  you get back in those
• 48:14
  situations and you're playing every week.
• 48:16
  I would throw my body into
• 48:17
  situations no
• 48:18
  fifty-year-old should have been doing.
• 48:20
  Like, but you just,
• 48:21
  you get back into that
• 48:22
  athlete mode and you just
• 48:24
  do whatever it takes.
• 48:25
  Right?
• 48:26
  Competitiveness comes out.
• 48:29
  Now, Tuesday mornings,
• 48:30
  getting out of bed was not
• 48:31
  as easy as it was thirty years.
• 48:34
  But, yeah.
• 48:37
  Yeah, I just miss, I miss playing.
• 48:38
  I miss playing sports.
• 48:39
  I need to play.
• 48:40
  I need to play more things again.
• 48:44
  All right,
• 48:44
  so we're done with Fact or Fiction.
• 48:45
  I know you pumped some questions in.
• 48:48
  We'll do those in a couple minutes.
• 48:50
  But let's talk about Metfix.
• 48:52
  We had Pete Shaw on this
• 48:53
  week and had a nice
• 48:56
  over-hour conversation with him.
• 48:58
  There's all this hubbub
• 49:00
  going around in the space
• 49:02
  that there's this Metfix thing that,
• 49:05
  what is it?
• 49:06
  You have the Hillers of the
• 49:08
  world upset that they're
• 49:10
  not really saying who they
• 49:11
  are or what they're doing.
• 49:13
  And I was having a hard time
• 49:14
  this week just figuring out what to ask,
• 49:18
  what to do, what to say.
• 49:21
  And at the end of the day,
• 49:23
  after talking to Pete,
• 49:25
  and even after the
• 49:26
  conversation went off the air,
• 49:29
  I think they're just trying
• 49:30
  to be the next component for CrossFit.
• 49:33
  Because my last question to
• 49:34
  him in the interview was,
• 49:36
  do you see a future where
• 49:38
  CrossFit and Metfix can work together?
• 49:41
  And he said, absolutely.
• 49:45
  Did you get a chance to
• 49:47
  listen and do you have any?
• 49:49
  I listened to the whole thing.
• 49:52
  There is two points that I
• 49:53
  liked that he made that I was like, okay.
• 49:57
  When he talked about their
• 49:59
  two day seminars, all basically like when,
• 50:02
  when we think about our
• 50:03
  level one or level two, for instance,
• 50:05
  we're talking about movement, you know,
• 50:07
  movement standards.
• 50:08
  We're talking about points of performance,
• 50:09
  all of that, or how to coach and,
• 50:12
  like efficiently and stuff like that.
• 50:14
  And their two day seminar is
• 50:16
  a lot more based on nutrition stuff.
• 50:18
  And then maybe it's one
• 50:20
  little piece is on movement.
• 50:23
  And I was like, okay,
• 50:24
  that's a different type of seminar.
• 50:27
  That would be cool.
• 50:28
  And then the other thing is, um,
• 50:30
  kind of comparing it to like
• 50:32
  cross it's more like the
• 50:33
  undergrad part and then
• 50:35
  you're looking to continue
• 50:37
  education you're not going
• 50:38
  to forget about the
• 50:41
  crossfit foundation or your
• 50:42
  your first degree that you
• 50:44
  had you're just building
• 50:45
  upon it in terms of
• 50:46
  nutrition and going a step further and um
• 50:51
  for that.
• 50:51
  Is there anything different
• 50:52
  that they're preaching?
• 50:55
  No,
• 50:55
  it's the same message that CrossFit is
• 50:57
  doing.
• 50:58
  They just might be putting more emphasis,
• 51:00
  like the way that I like
• 51:01
  understood is they're
• 51:02
  putting just more emphasis
• 51:03
  on the nutrition factors
• 51:06
  with the CrossFit versus, um,
• 51:09
  a lot more affiliates focus
• 51:11
  more on the physical part of, you know,
• 51:15
  doing CrossFit versus my dog versus, um,
• 51:21
  nutrition part so and
• 51:27
  hillary's here with a with
• 51:29
  a comment so I'll pull that
• 51:30
  up in a second um I I think
• 51:35
  my one issue is is it's all
• 51:37
  based on this flexible what
• 51:40
  do you call it flexible
• 51:42
  metabolic piece and like
• 51:47
  I haven't found enough
• 51:48
  research on that to know is
• 51:50
  that like a solid enough
• 51:52
  principle to be a one
• 51:57
  answer to nutrition after
• 52:00
  all the CrossFit stuff.
• 52:03
  And that seems to be the big differential.
• 52:06
  And so I...
• 52:08
  don't know enough about that
• 52:10
  and I tried to research it
• 52:11
  as much as I could maybe
• 52:13
  I'm just not smart science
• 52:14
  was not my my best subject
• 52:17
  but I was trying to figure
• 52:18
  it out when I look at it I
• 52:22
  look at it more like I
• 52:23
  don't know I mean it's
• 52:25
  crossfit like they're their
• 52:27
  workout of the day I mean
• 52:28
  they're still doing all the
• 52:29
  same workouts that we
• 52:30
  they're taking hero
• 52:31
  workouts or benchmark
• 52:32
  workouts from the crossfit community um
• 52:35
  It should almost be like a seminar,
• 52:37
  like an extra course that
• 52:38
  people could take,
• 52:40
  like a continuing education
• 52:42
  credits for a little bit
• 52:43
  more on nutrition.
• 52:45
  Like it's...
• 52:46
  Like they have a one day
• 52:48
  nutrition program that Jocelyn does.
• 52:54
  I think she lives in Calgary.
• 52:55
  She's like a level four
• 52:57
  seminar staff member.
• 53:00
  And she's done like a one day course.
• 53:02
  I'm not sure how similar are
• 53:04
  the topics that she does.
• 53:06
  But to me,
• 53:08
  like their seminar should just
• 53:09
  be like an extra credit thing.
• 53:12
  Like, I don't know why...
• 53:16
  they need affiliates for
• 53:17
  metfix because it's the
• 53:18
  same message that we have
• 53:20
  it's just promoting more
• 53:22
  nutrition and maybe it's
• 53:23
  just a course that they
• 53:24
  could be going at different
• 53:25
  affiliates to try to get
• 53:27
  people to be talking more
• 53:29
  about nutrition and not
• 53:30
  just the lot of the day and
• 53:33
  how to how to include it
• 53:35
  within your hour class um
• 53:37
  you know whether it's two
• 53:38
  or three minutes that you talk
• 53:40
  about nutrition on your hour
• 53:43
  um because it's just not
• 53:45
  much different there and
• 53:48
  like andrew says here the
• 53:49
  next component of crossfit
• 53:50
  is still crossfit that's
• 53:52
  the thing when greg says
• 53:53
  his message hasn't changed
• 53:54
  in twenty years six months
• 53:56
  ago it shows its true colors
• 53:59
  Then my question to you, Hillary,
• 54:01
  and because I'm not an insider, I don't,
• 54:03
  I don't have the
• 54:04
  opportunity to talk to Greg
• 54:05
  or his people very often.
• 54:08
  And that is that why is his face on it?
• 54:11
  Why is he allowing his
• 54:13
  message and his face to be
• 54:15
  such a large part of med fix?
• 54:17
  Because that's, what's making it very,
• 54:19
  very confusing.
• 54:21
  I think for the laying
• 54:23
  person in the space.
• 54:26
  And that's where I'm really
• 54:28
  like torn apart,
• 54:29
  trying to figure this out on my own.
• 54:32
  And that's where my
• 54:33
  frustration comes from
• 54:35
  because I can see both sides.
• 54:36
  I asked, I mean,
• 54:37
  my first question to Pete
• 54:38
  is everybody can look at med fix and say,
• 54:42
  I've seen this all in the level one.
• 54:46
  Or, or in across the journal articles or,
• 54:49
  um, stuff, stuff that we've,
• 54:51
  we've seen before in the space anyways.
• 54:54
  I don't know if it's all in the level one.
• 54:56
  I wouldn't say it's all in the level one,
• 54:57
  but like.
• 55:00
  Right.
• 55:00
  But I was trying to make a
• 55:01
  point that it's all been
• 55:03
  written down before.
• 55:05
  Yeah, absolutely.
• 55:09
  Yeah, it's.
• 55:12
  I'm not sure.
• 55:14
  I like what they're doing.
• 55:15
  I'll rephrase that.
• 55:19
  I like the message about
• 55:21
  working on nutrition and
• 55:23
  not just the WOD of the day
• 55:26
  because WOD is an hour of your day,
• 55:28
  but nutrition will take up
• 55:30
  also other parts of your day.
• 55:31
  And I think that we should
• 55:33
  be talking more about
• 55:33
  nutrition in gyms and
• 55:35
  promoting healthier lifestyle in general.
• 55:40
  So I do like that.
• 55:44
  I can see that some people
• 55:46
  may be drawn to Metfix
• 55:48
  because of the brand of
• 55:50
  CrossFit maybe has
• 55:53
  diminished over the years
• 55:55
  with some controversial
• 55:58
  stuff that they want to
• 55:59
  start something new that
• 56:02
  doesn't have the word CrossFit in it,
• 56:03
  but it's the same message.
• 56:05
  I can see that people could
• 56:06
  be wanting that.
• 56:08
  But everyone knows what CrossFit is.
• 56:10
  Every single person knows
• 56:11
  what CrossFit is.
• 56:14
  People that don't do CrossFit,
• 56:16
  they've heard the name.
• 56:18
  And if you send med fix to
• 56:19
  anyone on the street,
• 56:21
  they have no idea what that is.
• 56:23
  So I still think that there
• 56:25
  should be space for both of
• 56:27
  them to work together
• 56:29
  under basically the CrossFit umbrella,
• 56:31
  but pushing a little bit
• 56:33
  more the nutrition part.
• 56:35
  And I get that Pete said,
• 56:37
  and I like Pete a lot,
• 56:40
  that no one's kind of
• 56:41
  pushing it at the top level from CrossFit,
• 56:46
  which is why that they've
• 56:47
  kind of gone their separate way.
• 56:50
  But I feel like we need to
• 56:51
  be continuing to push it.
• 56:53
  But I mean,
• 56:55
  if any other people were doing this,
• 56:57
  like CrossFit would be
• 56:58
  suing them because they're
• 56:59
  doing the same thing as them.
• 57:02
  Yeah.
• 57:03
  Well,
• 57:03
  I don't know if the new CrossFit
• 57:04
  would be suing.
• 57:06
  No,
• 57:08
  because it's content that he's written
• 57:10
  and done.
• 57:11
  So it's a touchy.
• 57:15
  Yeah.
• 57:15
  It's just like, I don't know.
• 57:23
  Okay, so Andrew has a couple things.
• 57:25
  Have you seen a single piece
• 57:26
  of content posted on the
• 57:29
  Metfix's page that isn't
• 57:30
  stripped from Savant's podcast?
• 57:32
  I have not because I looked a lot.
• 57:36
  Andrew also says they want
• 57:38
  to work with CrossFit,
• 57:39
  be a derivative of it to
• 57:40
  help in the future.
• 57:43
  Guys, Greg said he has nothing new.
• 57:47
  But I think they could do
• 57:48
  their two day seminar.
• 57:49
  And that's a course like
• 57:50
  that's that's a course that
• 57:51
  people could take to talk
• 57:53
  because they they don't
• 57:54
  talk to too much on in
• 57:56
  depth about the nutrition
• 57:57
  part in the level one or level two.
• 58:00
  I think it should just be a
• 58:01
  course like I don't know,
• 58:02
  they could call it methods
• 58:03
  or whatever they want to call it.
• 58:04
  But it's part of one of the
• 58:06
  courses that pop up and
• 58:07
  they can travel to
• 58:08
  different places and try to.
• 58:11
  preach more of the nutrition
• 58:12
  and people can can buy you
• 58:15
  know or pay for that
• 58:15
  seminar that weekend to to
• 58:19
  you know help their lives
• 58:19
  get healthier and then and
• 58:21
  then share that message but
• 58:22
  it's the same message from
• 58:24
  before it's just putting it
• 58:25
  all together into a weekend
• 58:27
  seminar for people so
• 58:29
  here's where I am on like
• 58:30
  the hill or side if you go
• 58:32
  to their website it is very
• 58:33
  much like the crossfit website
• 58:35
  It is a workout of the day.
• 58:37
  They don't even hide the
• 58:38
  fact that it is a CrossFit
• 58:39
  workout of the day.
• 58:41
  In fact,
• 58:41
  they're using even named workouts.
• 58:43
  Yeah, and it's like .com workouts.
• 58:46
  Right.
• 58:46
  I think it is the .com.
• 58:50
  I don't think it's the same day, same,
• 58:52
  but it would not surprise
• 58:54
  me if they're not just
• 58:55
  stripping it from the workout of the day.
• 59:00
  So, yeah.
• 59:05
  I like the recipes that they're doing.
• 59:08
  I like that stuff.
• 59:09
  I just feel like there
• 59:12
  should be a way to work
• 59:14
  together without it being separate.
• 59:17
  People are going to try to make money.
• 59:18
  I think the biggest part
• 59:22
  that everybody is
• 59:23
  struggling with is that
• 59:25
  they are not saying we're
• 59:26
  competing with CrossFit and
• 59:28
  they're not saying we're an
• 59:29
  accessory to CrossFit.
• 59:31
  They're just kind of hanging
• 59:32
  out in the middle.
• 59:33
  And they are either one or the other.
• 59:37
  Because there's too much
• 59:40
  CrossFit in it to be
• 59:42
  anything other than either
• 59:44
  a competitor or an accessory.
• 59:50
  But... So... We'll move on from that.
• 59:58
  Um...
• 1:00:07
  okay yeah I this I think
• 1:00:09
  would go could go on
• 1:00:10
  forever and I'm maybe I'll
• 1:00:12
  do a separate piece on this
• 1:00:13
  but yeah um this week uh
• 1:00:20
  brent fukowski made two
• 1:00:21
  appearances on two different podcasts um
• 1:00:27
  I think it was sold as,
• 1:00:30
  especially the Mayhem one,
• 1:00:31
  that he was going to talk
• 1:00:32
  about the demands.
• 1:00:33
  I don't think he really
• 1:00:34
  talked about the demands
• 1:00:36
  other than he felt like no
• 1:00:37
  matter what decision the
• 1:00:38
  PFA made in those demands,
• 1:00:41
  they were going to be criticized for them,
• 1:00:43
  whatever they chose to do.
• 1:00:46
  But I thought what was more
• 1:00:47
  important coming out of
• 1:00:48
  that was that they have
• 1:00:49
  come up with or are in the
• 1:00:51
  process of coming up with a
• 1:00:53
  standard movement list
• 1:00:56
  um with descriptions and a
• 1:00:58
  database for that and for
• 1:01:00
  other competitions to use
• 1:01:02
  not as a mandate but as a
• 1:01:04
  resource for them to tap
• 1:01:06
  into I thought that I think
• 1:01:09
  that if the pfa are truly
• 1:01:11
  trying to do something that
• 1:01:13
  is a great place to to make
• 1:01:15
  some efforts and some
• 1:01:16
  headway and I wanted to get
• 1:01:18
  your thoughts on that
• 1:01:21
  I like the idea that when he
• 1:01:23
  talked about like, you know,
• 1:01:24
  if you want to run a competition,
• 1:01:26
  like you want to host your
• 1:01:27
  own competition and you're
• 1:01:29
  looking for movement
• 1:01:31
  standards written down, where do you go?
• 1:01:34
  CrossFit doesn't have it written down.
• 1:01:36
  They might have some written
• 1:01:38
  down for the open or
• 1:01:39
  quarterfinal workouts.
• 1:01:41
  But other than that,
• 1:01:42
  you have to go to the
• 1:01:42
  competition corner of
• 1:01:43
  another competition to
• 1:01:45
  maybe look at the standards.
• 1:01:46
  So having some sort of
• 1:01:47
  centralized location would
• 1:01:48
  be nice to have.
• 1:01:50
  If PFA wants to do it
• 1:01:52
  because CrossFit doesn't want to do it,
• 1:01:53
  sure.
• 1:01:54
  And then I think that should
• 1:01:55
  be also shared on the CrossFit website,
• 1:01:56
  like on the CrossFit website.
• 1:01:58
  either the .com or the games
• 1:02:00
  version of the website so
• 1:02:02
  that people can go there and at least get
• 1:02:05
  you know,
• 1:02:06
  movement standards in general
• 1:02:07
  that people can use for
• 1:02:09
  their own competition.
• 1:02:10
  And then you link them to
• 1:02:12
  whatever part of the
• 1:02:14
  website that has the
• 1:02:15
  movements that you want to
• 1:02:16
  integrate in your, in your competition.
• 1:02:18
  Like I liked the idea.
• 1:02:19
  I watched the one video that
• 1:02:20
  he made like on the sandbag cleans.
• 1:02:22
  And I think it was also nice
• 1:02:24
  as like a judge could also
• 1:02:26
  be looking at those and be like, Oh,
• 1:02:27
  okay.
• 1:02:27
  I see.
• 1:02:28
  you know the bent knees on
• 1:02:29
  the cleans that it's not
• 1:02:30
  quite done or the bag is a
• 1:02:32
  little bit in front because
• 1:02:35
  as like he was kind of
• 1:02:36
  showing those you know
• 1:02:38
  grayish reps um or even
• 1:02:41
  talking about like the
• 1:02:42
  hands can like if you're
• 1:02:43
  doing a clean touch and go
• 1:02:44
  with the sandbag the hands
• 1:02:46
  can touch the ground and
• 1:02:47
  not the sandbag because
• 1:02:48
  like you'll get called no
• 1:02:49
  reps if your hand
• 1:02:51
  depending on the competition,
• 1:02:52
  like sometimes the bag
• 1:02:53
  needs to touch the ground
• 1:02:54
  and you can't really do
• 1:02:55
  touching those as much.
• 1:02:56
  So just having a place that has that,
• 1:02:59
  I think facilitates a lot
• 1:03:00
  of things for event
• 1:03:01
  organizers and just the
• 1:03:02
  athletes in general to know
• 1:03:05
  what they're doing.
• 1:03:05
  There's still room.
• 1:03:06
  I think that people could
• 1:03:07
  tweak things up if they
• 1:03:08
  want to have a newer
• 1:03:09
  movement and they can
• 1:03:10
  create their own standard there.
• 1:03:12
  But in general,
• 1:03:12
  there should be some sort
• 1:03:14
  of place that people can go
• 1:03:16
  to that has standards.
• 1:03:17
  And we just don't really
• 1:03:18
  have that right now.
• 1:03:19
  So I like that idea.
• 1:03:22
  Yeah, and I like the fact that he was like,
• 1:03:25
  the wall ball has one
• 1:03:27
  workout description.
• 1:03:28
  Like, it can only be one thing.
• 1:03:30
  But like a handstand push-up,
• 1:03:31
  depending on if it's online
• 1:03:33
  or if it's in person,
• 1:03:34
  it could have a couple
• 1:03:35
  different variations that
• 1:03:37
  could be used for that competition.
• 1:03:42
  And I thought that was a good explanation.
• 1:03:43
  He did that on the TTT
• 1:03:45
  podcast that came out today.
• 1:03:49
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:03:51
  because there are those
• 1:03:53
  exceptions where something
• 1:03:54
  like the handstand pushup
• 1:03:56
  has to be different and
• 1:03:57
  measured and differently in
• 1:03:59
  an online competition than
• 1:04:00
  it does in person.
• 1:04:03
  And it's not saying that
• 1:04:04
  every competition needs to
• 1:04:06
  do those standards,
• 1:04:07
  but I think still having
• 1:04:08
  some sort of standards
• 1:04:10
  written out somewhere with
• 1:04:11
  videos just helps people.
• 1:04:16
  And it just makes it a
• 1:04:17
  little bit more smooth,
• 1:04:19
  like just smoother for, for competitions.
• 1:04:23
  I also liked the, you know, best practices,
• 1:04:27
  right?
• 1:04:27
  You know, we've done, he talked about,
• 1:04:29
  I don't know if it was on
• 1:04:30
  the mayhem or on the TTT one.
• 1:04:32
  where he talked about the
• 1:04:34
  change that I think it was
• 1:04:35
  on the Mayhem one,
• 1:04:37
  the rope and the legless rope climb.
• 1:04:39
  And, you know,
• 1:04:40
  when there was a big knot
• 1:04:42
  not going to there for the
• 1:04:42
  legless and adjusting or hot barbells,
• 1:04:46
  like there's some things
• 1:04:47
  that like we just know as athletes,
• 1:04:49
  as you know, you're outside barbells,
• 1:04:52
  this, if it's raining, you know,
• 1:04:54
  you don't do these movements,
• 1:04:55
  but having like best
• 1:04:56
  practices in general of
• 1:04:59
  heat or indoor and,
• 1:05:02
  measurement things could be
• 1:05:03
  also very useful safety
• 1:05:05
  wise for um for different
• 1:05:08
  events like even if it was
• 1:05:11
  like if it's raining and
• 1:05:12
  you have like like these
• 1:05:14
  are options that you could do or
• 1:05:18
  Yeah.
• 1:05:20
  Yeah.
• 1:05:21
  I think they talked about
• 1:05:22
  like the strict chest to
• 1:05:24
  bar pull up would be a
• 1:05:25
  different standard in the rain.
• 1:05:29
  And they definitely did talk
• 1:05:30
  about what happened at
• 1:05:31
  Mayhem with the rope climb
• 1:05:33
  and the knot being too big
• 1:05:35
  and very difficult for the
• 1:05:36
  athletes to get up and over.
• 1:05:38
  So they felt that that had a
• 1:05:40
  danger element and they
• 1:05:41
  changed it immediately.
• 1:05:42
  Yes.
• 1:05:44
  Um, so yeah,
• 1:05:46
  I do think that that is a way
• 1:05:48
  for them to get back into,
• 1:05:53
  because we haven't seen
• 1:05:54
  them in six months and I think there,
• 1:05:58
  you know,
• 1:05:58
  when you're not in the public eye,
• 1:05:59
  you're forgotten a little
• 1:06:00
  bit and they need to do a few things, uh,
• 1:06:03
  to build up some street cred again.
• 1:06:06
  And I think that's good.
• 1:06:11
  like the idea of it was
• 1:06:12
  always good and they were sending,
• 1:06:14
  they were putting, you know,
• 1:06:16
  best practices for video
• 1:06:18
  standards for how you're
• 1:06:19
  filming things online.
• 1:06:20
  They were sending information on,
• 1:06:22
  let's say, um,
• 1:06:25
  I don't know what they had drug testing.
• 1:06:27
  I think they posted something about,
• 1:06:30
  you know, he, they, they,
• 1:06:32
  I think they did post
• 1:06:33
  something about heat at one point,
• 1:06:34
  but you,
• 1:06:34
  you had things going on their
• 1:06:35
  Instagram for a while and
• 1:06:36
  that stuff was great.
• 1:06:37
  Yeah.
• 1:06:39
  Yeah.
• 1:06:40
  Yeah,
• 1:06:41
  I have always said that I think there
• 1:06:43
  is a place for an athlete association.
• 1:06:46
  I just didn't like their structure.
• 1:06:47
  Well, the other thing is,
• 1:06:51
  I think it was Richard said that was like,
• 1:06:53
  oh,
• 1:06:53
  but you can't have active athletes on it.
• 1:06:57
  And he thought that was murky.
• 1:06:58
  And I thought that was
• 1:07:00
  interesting because they
• 1:07:01
  program and they have athletes competing,
• 1:07:02
  which is also murky.
• 1:07:04
  But
• 1:07:07
  Right.
• 1:07:07
  But at the same time,
• 1:07:08
  most unions have active
• 1:07:11
  players that are on those, like,
• 1:07:15
  that's what they are.
• 1:07:15
  And then you have the alumni
• 1:07:17
  stuff or you have other
• 1:07:18
  association that has maybe
• 1:07:21
  people that have retired
• 1:07:23
  and can also share.
• 1:07:24
  It's the unknown that makes it difficult,
• 1:07:26
  but I still think that you can have...
• 1:07:29
  depends on the topic but if
• 1:07:30
  it's just like like asking
• 1:07:32
  the current athletes what
• 1:07:33
  are best practices and like
• 1:07:35
  they can be involved in
• 1:07:36
  conversations for what
• 1:07:37
  they're seeing right now as
• 1:07:38
  they're um as they're
• 1:07:42
  competing and then when it
• 1:07:43
  comes to like other things
• 1:07:44
  then you don't have the
• 1:07:45
  active athletes that can be
• 1:07:46
  a part of that a cross fat
• 1:07:49
  says kara loves mayhem's involvement
• 1:07:52
  I just think it's unfair.
• 1:07:54
  I love mayhem.
• 1:07:55
  I love their programming.
• 1:07:56
  I like the people there.
• 1:07:57
  I just think it's completely
• 1:07:58
  unfair that you are
• 1:08:00
  programming and know every
• 1:08:01
  single workout of the year
• 1:08:04
  as do many other athletes.
• 1:08:08
  So kind of in the same vein
• 1:08:10
  as movement standards,
• 1:08:12
  WFP did announce their
• 1:08:14
  equipment list for the
• 1:08:16
  upcoming qualifier.
• 1:08:18
  And so you know what
• 1:08:19
  equipment you need ahead of
• 1:08:21
  time before the qualifier occurs,
• 1:08:24
  which does help in planning, I'm sure.
• 1:08:26
  I think that helps.
• 1:08:27
  And if you know that you
• 1:08:28
  need to go somewhere for a
• 1:08:29
  fifteen foot rope or your
• 1:08:30
  gym doesn't have a GHD and
• 1:08:31
  you know this gym,
• 1:08:32
  you don't know the workouts.
• 1:08:33
  It's kind of like when
• 1:08:34
  CrossFit used to release
• 1:08:35
  the floor plans and you
• 1:08:36
  were kind of playing the
• 1:08:37
  guessing game of like, ooh,
• 1:08:37
  they could do this
• 1:08:38
  combination and this combination.
• 1:08:40
  I think it's still unknown.
• 1:08:43
  You just have certain...
• 1:08:47
  you know, equipment and it can facilitate.
• 1:08:49
  It's not like they're,
• 1:08:50
  they're releasing it, you know,
• 1:08:51
  two years in advance.
• 1:08:53
  It's what, like when is their qualifier,
• 1:08:54
  like next week or something like that.
• 1:08:57
  So a couple of weeks in advance,
• 1:08:59
  I think that's fine.
• 1:09:00
  Um,
• 1:09:06
  Yeah, back on the mayhem thing,
• 1:09:08
  many athletes seem to find
• 1:09:10
  out about the workouts
• 1:09:11
  before an event prior to it.
• 1:09:14
  I can confirm that from my
• 1:09:16
  experience at the games,
• 1:09:16
  that I had a mayhem athlete
• 1:09:18
  that knew a workout.
• 1:09:20
  I can a hundred percent confirm that.
• 1:09:25
  All right.
• 1:09:26
  Now we're going to hit some
• 1:09:27
  quick hitter stuff.
• 1:09:29
  Crossover double-unders were
• 1:09:31
  announced as a movement for
• 1:09:32
  the CrossFit Games early.
• 1:09:34
  So, again, we now know.
• 1:09:36
  So everybody can have their
• 1:09:37
  beaded rope this year as
• 1:09:39
  opposed to that first year.
• 1:09:43
  I was surprised to see it
• 1:09:44
  make a comeback because I
• 1:09:48
  didn't think Dave was
• 1:09:50
  particularly a fan of them.
• 1:09:53
  and him doing the programming.
• 1:09:55
  Um, like I'm not surprised to see him back,
• 1:09:56
  but I was surprised cause
• 1:09:57
  he's doing the programming,
• 1:09:58
  but I think it's cool.
• 1:10:01
  Something different.
• 1:10:04
  And they're giving it enough time.
• 1:10:06
  They're giving it enough
• 1:10:07
  time where people can practice it.
• 1:10:08
  So I bet the volume of it
• 1:10:10
  will be a little bit bigger than, um,
• 1:10:14
  what, what they have in twenty,
• 1:10:15
  twenty two is like thirty reps,
• 1:10:18
  maybe thirty to fifty reps of them.
• 1:10:20
  Not sure how many, but it was like twenty,
• 1:10:22
  I think.
• 1:10:24
  Yeah, it wasn't many of them,
• 1:10:26
  but I'd expect now that now
• 1:10:27
  that they've released it earlier,
• 1:10:29
  that I would be a lot more than that.
• 1:10:32
  I just hope it's not like.
• 1:10:35
  It's a balanced workout
• 1:10:36
  where it doesn't just become.
• 1:10:39
  All about the.
• 1:10:41
  Cross our,
• 1:10:41
  but people have been given a. A warning,
• 1:10:44
  so it is all on the athletes now as well.
• 1:10:47
  Now they will have beaded ropes,
• 1:10:49
  not just the RX Markier athletes.
• 1:10:52
  We were actually an RX
• 1:10:53
  Markier podcast back then.
• 1:10:55
  And I actually had a beaded
• 1:10:56
  rope at the time of that
• 1:10:58
  games because they gave me
• 1:10:59
  the little package.
• 1:11:02
  Yes.
• 1:11:03
  Like they had sent it.
• 1:11:05
  I had like I had it sent to
• 1:11:07
  me prior to the games.
• 1:11:10
  I didn't know what it was for,
• 1:11:11
  so I didn't bring it to the games.
• 1:11:13
  Yeah.
• 1:11:14
  Yeah.
• 1:11:17
  Um, I found this on the internet today.
• 1:11:19
  I wanted to make sure to show you,
• 1:11:21
  did you see that rogue came
• 1:11:22
  out with a new plate?
• 1:11:24
  It's supposed to be quieter
• 1:11:26
  when it's dropped so that
• 1:11:28
  if you're working out at home,
• 1:11:29
  it actually will,
• 1:11:31
  it's supposed to decrease the decibels.
• 1:11:34
  Uh,
• 1:11:34
  your weight drop is in your garage or
• 1:11:36
  your apartment or whatever you're,
• 1:11:38
  wherever you're lifting.
• 1:11:39
  That's the best part about
• 1:11:39
  lifting is boom.
• 1:11:40
  Yeah.
• 1:11:42
  But if you're in an apartment complex,
• 1:11:44
  you know what I mean?
• 1:11:46
  And they're called honeycomb plates.
• 1:11:50
  So Garage Gym Reviews
• 1:11:53
  actually reviewed them and
• 1:11:54
  tested the decibels.
• 1:11:56
  But I wanted to show you the
• 1:11:57
  drop and see how these plates react.
• 1:12:00
  It is freaking wild.
• 1:12:02
  And it's from Rogue?
• 1:12:04
  It's from Rogue.
• 1:12:04
  You'll see the Rogue's right
• 1:12:07
  on the side of the plate.
• 1:12:07
  I didn't hear about this.
• 1:12:10
  That's cool, though.
• 1:12:11
  All right.
• 1:12:12
  So you see, that's the honeycomb plate.
• 1:12:16
  That's cool.
• 1:12:17
  Right there.
• 1:12:18
  And then when you drop it,
• 1:12:21
  they're rolling it off of a six foot.
• 1:12:23
  Put the volume on because it's not on.
• 1:12:25
  So it's going to sound like
• 1:12:26
  it's real quiet now, Scott.
• 1:12:30
  You're not going to be able
• 1:12:31
  to tell anyway.
• 1:12:33
  Okay.
• 1:12:34
  Dude, dude, dude.
• 1:12:37
  I was not expecting to test that.
• 1:12:39
  It's still less than the night.
• 1:12:41
  Here we go.
• 1:12:42
  You ready?
• 1:12:43
  I'm ready.
• 1:12:44
  No glove this time.
• 1:12:45
  Okay.
• 1:12:46
  All right.
• 1:12:47
  Three, two,
• 1:12:53
  Dude, still less than the Nikes.
• 1:12:55
  I am wondering from a sound-wise, though,
• 1:12:57
  I feel like the Nike was quieter.
• 1:12:59
  We're definitely going to
• 1:13:00
  have to test that.
• 1:13:01
  We definitely have to test that.
• 1:13:02
  Did Nike do it first?
• 1:13:03
  And then this is like their version of it?
• 1:13:05
  No, they dropped a high temp plate,
• 1:13:08
  a Rogue high temp.
• 1:13:09
  They dropped a Nike crumb something plate.
• 1:13:14
  So they did a couple plates
• 1:13:15
  to see the bounce and then
• 1:13:17
  to see the decibels.
• 1:13:23
  okay so dude dude dude they
• 1:13:25
  compressed they compressed
• 1:13:26
  that's that is like the
• 1:13:27
  tires that's pretty cool I
• 1:13:31
  was not come here why I was
• 1:13:32
  not expecting this is like
• 1:13:34
  I think that's good for a
• 1:13:36
  one like that's good if
• 1:13:37
  you're doing a one rep but
• 1:13:38
  how does that like
• 1:13:39
  absorption affect your
• 1:13:41
  lifts when like in crossing
• 1:13:42
  when you do multiple reps
• 1:13:43
  like I don't think that
• 1:13:44
  that's the weight that you
• 1:13:45
  would want to use if you're
• 1:13:46
  doing touch and go because
• 1:13:47
  if it's like kind of bending like that
• 1:13:49
  Like I wouldn't really know
• 1:13:50
  how the absorption happens
• 1:13:52
  and how that throws off the lift.
• 1:13:55
  But if you're just doing one rep,
• 1:13:56
  I can see it, you know, being good,
• 1:14:00
  like an Olympic lifting.
• 1:14:02
  So I think they were trying
• 1:14:06
  to say that they were
• 1:14:08
  trying to say that the more
• 1:14:09
  bounce the word, the not the worst,
• 1:14:12
  it was going to perform because you like,
• 1:14:15
  you want to comp plate and,
• 1:14:17
  it's not bouncing around
• 1:14:18
  your gym if you're doing like one reps.
• 1:14:22
  Right.
• 1:14:23
  And so they,
• 1:14:24
  they were kind of downgrading
• 1:14:26
  it for the amount of hop it had.
• 1:14:29
  The high template only went to the two,
• 1:14:32
  the two foot section on
• 1:14:33
  that ruler behind them.
• 1:14:35
  The, this one went to three,
• 1:14:38
  the Nike crumb plate went to four,
• 1:14:42
  like it bounced way higher.
• 1:14:45
  But what they found out is
• 1:14:46
  decibel levels were very different.
• 1:14:49
  These ones were by far the
• 1:14:52
  quietest plates.
• 1:14:55
  But they also said you're
• 1:14:56
  not dropping it with the
• 1:14:57
  bar attached or the collars,
• 1:15:00
  which would add some noise
• 1:15:02
  to the overall thing.
• 1:15:05
  But these are not cheap plates.
• 1:15:10
  They're in between the high
• 1:15:11
  temp and the competition plate price.
• 1:15:15
  And much higher than the high temp,
• 1:15:18
  which is what I have in my garage, Jim,
• 1:15:19
  are the high temps.
• 1:15:21
  These ones were almost
• 1:15:23
  double the high temp cost.
• 1:15:27
  I mean, it's a great idea.
• 1:15:32
  um andrew said I wonder how
• 1:15:33
  they make it weigh the same
• 1:15:34
  and keep it the same size
• 1:15:35
  with the material taken out
• 1:15:38
  it's and it's actually
• 1:15:39
  thinner these ones are
• 1:15:40
  thinner than the high
• 1:15:41
  template so it must be like
• 1:15:44
  the metal inside of it and
• 1:15:46
  where it's put uh to and
• 1:15:48
  distributed that makes it
• 1:15:50
  weigh the same yeah and the
• 1:15:55
  density on the
• 1:15:57
  The high temps are eighty eight,
• 1:15:59
  whatever the measure of density is.
• 1:16:02
  These are eighty.
• 1:16:05
  So they were made of a
• 1:16:07
  different density rubber.
• 1:16:09
  And I don't know, I don't I'm not again,
• 1:16:12
  science was not my strong point,
• 1:16:14
  but I just found it
• 1:16:15
  interesting to watch and
• 1:16:17
  how much they can because
• 1:16:18
  the other plates don't compress at all.
• 1:16:20
  They just kind of like bounce.
• 1:16:23
  These ones like really
• 1:16:24
  compress and pop up off the floor.
• 1:16:32
  uh durometer that's that's
• 1:16:34
  exactly at cross fat that
• 1:16:37
  is what they were measuring
• 1:16:41
  but anyway it's my garage
• 1:16:42
  reviews if you want to
• 1:16:43
  check out the full video um
• 1:16:47
  it's it was a fun little
• 1:16:48
  experiment they say it's
• 1:16:50
  they're not scientists they
• 1:16:51
  just wanted something
• 1:16:52
  repeatable that they could
• 1:16:53
  do with different plates
• 1:16:55
  and kind of give you an
• 1:16:55
  idea if it if it was worth
• 1:16:58
  the bang for the buck
• 1:17:03
  I keep moving around because
• 1:17:04
  it's so hot in this room.
• 1:17:06
  I close the door and the AC
• 1:17:08
  is not really in this room
• 1:17:09
  because I took off the fan
• 1:17:10
  that was in here.
• 1:17:11
  I'm just sticking to this chair right now.
• 1:17:13
  That's why I keep moving around.
• 1:17:19
  The sacrifices you make for this podcast.
• 1:17:24
  All right.
• 1:17:24
  You pumped in some questions.
• 1:17:28
  What lifts do you expect to
• 1:17:29
  see at the games?
• 1:17:31
  Well,
• 1:17:32
  I just figured because it was a
• 1:17:33
  little bit of a slower week,
• 1:17:34
  so I was trying to think of
• 1:17:35
  some questions with Lex on
• 1:17:36
  the drive home.
• 1:17:39
  Well,
• 1:17:40
  with Isabel that we saw this year at
• 1:17:42
  the semifinals,
• 1:17:44
  I would be surprised to see
• 1:17:45
  a snatch as a max lift there.
• 1:17:48
  And then they had a clean
• 1:17:50
  ladder last year.
• 1:17:51
  I don't know, maybe a clean and jerk.
• 1:17:53
  I was trying to think of a
• 1:18:00
  last year was a clean ladder
• 1:18:02
  yeah it's a clean ladder
• 1:18:04
  because justin justin won
• 1:18:06
  it right austin was way up
• 1:18:11
  there yeah but then he
• 1:18:13
  missed a lift or something
• 1:18:15
  they could do a heavy grace
• 1:18:17
  I could see that yeah just
• 1:18:20
  to offset all the heavy elizabeth's yeah
• 1:18:28
  Overhead squat could be there.
• 1:18:35
  CrossFat says,
• 1:18:36
  heavier as Isabel or double heavy Isabel?
• 1:18:42
  No, please, no.
• 1:18:44
  I don't even see another
• 1:18:44
  Isabel of any kind.
• 1:18:49
  Your next question was early top fives.
• 1:18:55
  I think we already talked
• 1:18:56
  about a little bit more on
• 1:18:58
  the men's side already of the top five.
• 1:19:01
  For me, it's Justin, Dallin, Hopper.
• 1:19:11
  I'll say Austin and Ricky.
• 1:19:15
  I think Ricky could have a
• 1:19:16
  good year still.
• 1:19:17
  You left Jeff out.
• 1:19:19
  Did I not say Jeff first?
• 1:19:21
  No.
• 1:19:23
  Jeff first.
• 1:19:25
  Yeah, I would go Jeff, Jeff, Dallin,
• 1:19:36
  Austin, James, Jay.
• 1:19:48
  Every time I pick Jason to do amazing,
• 1:19:52
  and he is having a really good year,
• 1:19:54
  he always, he lets me down.
• 1:19:58
  I can't pick him again.
• 1:19:59
  And on the women's side, Tia.
• 1:20:02
  Yep.
• 1:20:03
  Ariel.
• 1:20:09
  Danielle.
• 1:20:12
  I'd have to look real quick.
• 1:20:15
  I haven't looked at their
• 1:20:16
  leaderboard in a minute.
• 1:20:17
  Alexis,
• 1:20:18
  if she can perform a little bit
• 1:20:20
  better than she did at the semis.
• 1:20:27
  I said Jeff in my head as number one,
• 1:20:29
  and I thought I said it out loud.
• 1:20:36
  Lucy Campbell.
• 1:20:43
  Trying to think of.
• 1:20:50
  I'm going to go Tia Ariel, Tia Ariel, Abby,
• 1:21:03
  Lucy Fee.
• 1:21:04
  Lucy Campbell, right?
• 1:21:07
  Lucy Campbell Fee.
• 1:21:07
  Fee.
• 1:21:07
  Let me look at the woman's sign.
• 1:21:18
  um brooke wells too she
• 1:21:20
  could have a good good year
• 1:21:22
  about brooke I think we're
• 1:21:24
  gonna be top five and
• 1:21:26
  haley's always around the
• 1:21:27
  top five like uh yeah I'm
• 1:21:34
  not sure where she'll be I
• 1:21:35
  haven't seen enough from
• 1:21:36
  her but like talk about
• 1:21:38
  someone that's always
• 1:21:39
  around the fifth or sixth
• 1:21:40
  spot fourth really fourth
• 1:21:42
  to six like that's haley
• 1:21:52
  Yeah,
• 1:21:55
  I think Fee's better inside than Haley.
• 1:21:59
  And can Fee just stay close
• 1:22:01
  enough in that run?
• 1:22:04
  So I'm going to take Fee.
• 1:22:05
  I think Fee's had the better year.
• 1:22:09
  And she qualified in the first event,
• 1:22:11
  stress-free, working out, training.
• 1:22:13
  I don't know.
• 1:22:16
  That's got to pay off somehow.
• 1:22:19
  I think she'll definitely be
• 1:22:21
  close to that top ten or
• 1:22:22
  inside that top ten.
• 1:22:23
  She's looking really good this year.
• 1:22:25
  Really good.
• 1:22:26
  Felix Jack lately.
• 1:22:30
  Craig says Jeff, Dallin, James, Austin,
• 1:22:32
  Jason.
• 1:22:35
  CrossFit Alexis if her stomach holds up.
• 1:22:38
  It's a shame you've got to say that.
• 1:22:44
  Clock says Hopper.
• 1:22:45
  I have to say it, the flopper.
• 1:22:51
  I don't think he'll flop I
• 1:22:52
  think I think he'll be
• 1:22:52
  solid I think I see him
• 1:22:54
  doing well craig uh db
• 1:22:56
  ariel lucy tia brooke uh
• 1:23:01
  something about dylan feels
• 1:23:03
  right all right so there's
• 1:23:08
  that uh who could be a dark
• 1:23:12
  horse this year most improved rookie
• 1:23:17
  I don't know the one that
• 1:23:18
  won the online semis.
• 1:23:20
  I'm curious to see more of her.
• 1:23:22
  Okay.
• 1:23:26
  Sirium Neha?
• 1:23:31
  Yeah.
• 1:23:31
  I don't really know much about her.
• 1:23:38
  I think Lucy can do well.
• 1:23:39
  Every time I hear her name,
• 1:23:40
  my phone lights up.
• 1:23:43
  Because things are not going to be great.
• 1:23:44
  Yeah.
• 1:23:47
  Kringle should have a good year.
• 1:23:49
  And then I think with a lot
• 1:23:53
  of the stuff being indoors,
• 1:23:54
  I think Anika is going to do really well.
• 1:23:57
  Anika was my dark horse.
• 1:23:59
  She has to just survive.
• 1:24:01
  She'll survive the first event.
• 1:24:02
  But if a lot of it is indoor,
• 1:24:04
  she's got the strength and
• 1:24:05
  the gymnastics as good as anyone.
• 1:24:08
  Like she has home run
• 1:24:09
  abilities and certain stuff,
• 1:24:12
  which I think can maybe
• 1:24:13
  make up for the one event
• 1:24:15
  of like the long distance.
• 1:24:17
  It just depends how much running,
• 1:24:18
  maybe if there's some out of this,
• 1:24:20
  I don't know what that arena looks like.
• 1:24:23
  If they'll have like running
• 1:24:25
  outside of it for like
• 1:24:25
  multiple rounds with, you know,
• 1:24:27
  gymnastics or,
• 1:24:28
  and a weightlifting
• 1:24:29
  implement of some sort.
• 1:24:30
  But I think it's like,
• 1:24:32
  it's a lot more traditional,
• 1:24:33
  which is what Dave said,
• 1:24:35
  like classic CrossFit.
• 1:24:37
  Annika is one of the best.
• 1:24:39
  She's going to do very well.
• 1:24:41
  I think she's gotten over
• 1:24:42
  her big hurdle and now it
• 1:24:45
  like the pressure's off for sure.
• 1:24:48
  And,
• 1:24:48
  and hopefully that means none of the
• 1:24:50
  silly mistakes that have
• 1:24:52
  cost her in the past.
• 1:24:54
  Um, so that's what I'm thinking of.
• 1:24:57
  Um, vice is Miriam Von Rohr.
• 1:24:59
  Um, I think that was in my head.
• 1:25:02
  She's going to kill the first event.
• 1:25:04
  And then you don't think so.
• 1:25:11
  I don't think her strength is running.
• 1:25:13
  She's done a lot of high rocks.
• 1:25:14
  She's a good high rocker,
• 1:25:15
  but there's better runners
• 1:25:16
  in the field than her.
• 1:25:28
  Amy Kringle's a better runner than her.
• 1:25:30
  Is it mistakes or her
• 1:25:33
  weakness as an athlete?
• 1:25:34
  They're mistakes.
• 1:25:36
  The end of WFP was a mistake.
• 1:25:41
  The rope climb debacle of
• 1:25:43
  Orlando was just a bad judge.
• 1:25:53
  I don't know.
• 1:25:53
  Yeah, if there's a lot of wall balls,
• 1:25:55
  Miriam is one of the best ones.
• 1:25:58
  probably the best in the
• 1:25:58
  field with wall balls and
• 1:26:00
  and squatting burpees like
• 1:26:03
  she has some definitely
• 1:26:04
  some home run stuff very
• 1:26:06
  very good squatter um but I
• 1:26:11
  don't think her strength is
• 1:26:12
  I don't think her running
• 1:26:13
  is like a top three enough
• 1:26:15
  in the games field even if
• 1:26:18
  even if she does high rocks
• 1:26:19
  I don't I wouldn't put her
• 1:26:20
  top three in the in the field okay
• 1:26:30
  Um, like, isn't like Jen, like,
• 1:26:32
  isn't Jennifer Muir a good runner too?
• 1:26:35
  Lucy Campbell.
• 1:26:37
  Um, Amy Kringle, Tia, Haley.
• 1:26:42
  Hattie's a good runner.
• 1:26:43
  Yeah.
• 1:26:43
  Just trying to look very fast.
• 1:26:45
  I'm just skimming the broke thing.
• 1:26:47
  Elle's a good runner.
• 1:26:49
  Yeah.
• 1:26:50
  There's a lot of good runners this year.
• 1:26:51
  A lot of really good runners.
• 1:26:52
  Yeah.
• 1:26:56
  Yeah, Alexis is a good runner, too.
• 1:26:59
  There's a lot of people in
• 1:27:00
  that field that... Most
• 1:27:05
  improved and rookie?
• 1:27:08
  Most improved?
• 1:27:09
  I mean, it might be someone like Fee.
• 1:27:13
  On the men's side?
• 1:27:13
  Hmm...
• 1:27:18
  Lucy Campbell most improved for me.
• 1:27:21
  Um,
• 1:27:21
  because she finished what in the
• 1:27:22
  twenties.
• 1:27:24
  No, she was, she did well.
• 1:27:26
  She was like sixteenth.
• 1:27:27
  She won Lucy.
• 1:27:28
  Lucy won two events at her first game.
• 1:27:30
  She won the pro the Jackie pro.
• 1:27:32
  She won the swimming event.
• 1:27:34
  She was a stud in the first, in her first,
• 1:27:37
  in her first one, she was really,
• 1:27:38
  really good.
• 1:27:42
  Um,
• 1:27:44
  Most improved for the guys
• 1:27:47
  I'm going to go with.
• 1:27:52
  I mean,
• 1:27:52
  if Austin can make a big jump to
• 1:27:54
  the podium,
• 1:27:54
  I know he finished tenth last year,
• 1:27:55
  but there's a big jump
• 1:27:57
  between ten and that.
• 1:27:58
  That could be most improved.
• 1:28:02
  Matthew's already done well at the games.
• 1:28:08
  Maybe someone like Colton.
• 1:28:11
  Yeah,
• 1:28:12
  I could see Colton making a huge jump
• 1:28:14
  from like, yeah,
• 1:28:17
  was his last finish at the
• 1:28:19
  games to I could see him
• 1:28:21
  being a top ten or top five
• 1:28:22
  even just because I say
• 1:28:24
  can't win doesn't mean I
• 1:28:26
  don't think he can't be up there.
• 1:28:29
  I think he can be up in that top five.
• 1:28:32
  In my view,
• 1:28:33
  he has become that Christy...
• 1:28:40
  Christy... Kristen Holta.
• 1:28:45
  They'd have to have really
• 1:28:46
  good programming to beat to podium,
• 1:28:49
  but they're going to be up
• 1:28:49
  in that eight to five range a lot.
• 1:28:54
  I think that's where
• 1:28:54
  Colton's gotten himself.
• 1:28:55
  He's good.
• 1:28:59
  And I think that would be a
• 1:29:01
  huge improvement.
• 1:29:05
  Someone says, Jorge,
• 1:29:06
  this is his rookie year.
• 1:29:08
  I think Ty for rookie on the men.
• 1:29:11
  Ty Jenkins.
• 1:29:13
  You know who could have a
• 1:29:13
  great improvement is Tudor.
• 1:29:17
  Yeah.
• 1:29:18
  Tudor could have a good improvement.
• 1:29:20
  I don't think he'll
• 1:29:20
  particularly love that first event.
• 1:29:22
  No.
• 1:29:23
  But we'll see.
• 1:29:25
  He's supposedly been working on it.
• 1:29:27
  Yep.
• 1:29:32
  Rookie, you said, who'd you have?
• 1:29:34
  On the men's side?
• 1:29:35
  I had Ty on the men's side.
• 1:29:37
  On the female?
• 1:29:41
  I'll go with... William
• 1:29:42
  Leahy could have a good one, too.
• 1:29:44
  Yep, that's a good thing.
• 1:29:45
  William Leahy could be a good rookie.
• 1:29:49
  I think Lucy McGonigal could surprise.
• 1:29:52
  Because I already talked
• 1:29:55
  about Annika doing well.
• 1:29:57
  I think Lucy could do well.
• 1:30:03
  And like I said,
• 1:30:03
  I don't know enough about
• 1:30:04
  that one girl from the semifinals.
• 1:30:10
  So I'm curious to see what she looks like.
• 1:30:12
  Yeah, none of us know.
• 1:30:15
  It's not a strong rookie
• 1:30:17
  class on the women's side.
• 1:30:21
  I think it's McGonagall's to win.
• 1:30:31
  Lydia Fish.
• 1:30:32
  I mean,
• 1:30:33
  Jennifer Muir won the first WFP
• 1:30:34
  challenger division, right?
• 1:30:37
  So she had, she was good.
• 1:30:41
  She's got some, some good skills.
• 1:30:42
  Everything.
• 1:30:43
  I'm just trying to look at
• 1:30:44
  everyone else already has some spot.
• 1:30:46
  I mean, Miriam could also do well.
• 1:30:50
  I wouldn't say it's Lucy's to lose.
• 1:30:52
  I think Anika can do well too.
• 1:30:53
  That's true.
• 1:30:55
  I keep forgetting that she's a rookie.
• 1:30:58
  She has been on her radar for so long.
• 1:31:03
  And Lydia Fish could do well
• 1:31:04
  to endorse with that kind of stuff.
• 1:31:07
  The way they're going to kill her.
• 1:31:09
  But she'll be good at the other stuff.
• 1:31:14
  It's crazy the difference in
• 1:31:15
  time that like she's had to
• 1:31:17
  prepare versus someone like Fee and Abby,
• 1:31:20
  right, that were qualified.
• 1:31:22
  Was it early April?
• 1:31:26
  Early April was the Mayhem
• 1:31:27
  Classic and then Lydia and
• 1:31:32
  Yona was mid-June.
• 1:31:37
  Yeah.
• 1:31:38
  Wow.
• 1:31:38
  Yeah.
• 1:31:38
  Yeah.
• 1:31:43
  All right.
• 1:31:43
  So in other news,
• 1:31:46
  we have Emma tall re
• 1:31:47
  injures her shoulder.
• 1:31:49
  She that's probably puts her out for WFP.
• 1:31:52
  She wasn't competing in the
• 1:31:53
  CrossFit game season anyway.
• 1:31:56
  But nobody likes to see injuries.
• 1:32:01
  She had a lot issue before, right?
• 1:32:03
  I think I had.
• 1:32:06
  I think she had torn her lot
• 1:32:07
  or something a couple months ago,
• 1:32:09
  if I remember.
• 1:32:10
  I feel like she's been
• 1:32:11
  nursing it since last year's games.
• 1:32:13
  I wonder if it's,
• 1:32:15
  I don't know if it's the same side.
• 1:32:16
  If, if,
• 1:32:17
  if that went just from dealing with that,
• 1:32:21
  not sure.
• 1:32:24
  yeah well that's all we have
• 1:32:26
  tonight that's the rundown
• 1:32:29
  um we hope that uh jamie's
• 1:32:32
  having a blast with her son
• 1:32:34
  um celebrating his
• 1:32:35
  graduation from high school
