• 0:24
  Welcome to the spin. Two weeks I will be in in
• 0:29
  Knoxville, TN ready for some syndicate crown.
• 0:35
  I'm pumped. Me too.
• 0:40
  ME3 that's right, and Hobart I'm sure is extremely.
• 0:44
  Him for. Oh, Mr. Pepper, I'm deep into my
• 0:49
  bike, boys. Give me something good tonight.
• 0:51
  Well, we do have the one and only Jr.
• 0:54
  Howell will be joining. Yeah, exactly.
• 0:58
  All four of us. Yeah, why not?
• 1:00
  A super mega. Big.
• 1:01
  Yeah. Well, let me, I'll bring Pedro
• 1:04
  no Jr. how will be here joining us in 15 minutes if we can get
• 1:08
  through some viewer comments. John the Frenchman has made his
• 1:13
  predictions for the French Throwdown.
• 1:15
  We. Exactly.
• 1:17
  We brought back some blind rankings for this week.
• 1:20
  I got some news about other things we're cooking up, and
• 1:23
  then we'll talk about no drugs and tests and whatever else we
• 1:28
  can think of to wrap up the show.
• 1:32
  But first, it's always time for some good viewer comments.
• 1:36
  All right, first up, there we go at Tevs 26 didn't cover the Far
• 1:44
  East. Most dominant performance was by
• 1:46
  Syria. Maha John switched to talking
• 1:49
  about Hopper at French sounds. That doesn't sound like John.
• 1:54
  I feel like he would stay on topic.
• 1:58
  We didn't talk about Far East. It's a fair.
• 2:01
  Comment You can't, you can't dominate if there isn't anybody
• 2:05
  there that's relevant. Like if I go, if I go play
• 2:08
  basketball against a bunch of 6th graders and I tell you guys,
• 2:11
  y'all, I played pick up the other day and I was dominating
• 2:14
  them and just didn't say who I was dominating.
• 2:17
  Like there's nothing. There's nothing there.
• 2:20
  What do you think about Syria, Miss Maya?
• 2:27
  Hey, Mike. Hey John, check your mic.
• 2:28
  I think you're on your laptop. Says I'm on road.
• 2:36
  That echo is just built in. I was I was excited for her and
• 2:41
  then she was kind of let me down at A at the games.
• 2:46
  So I, I, I right now I'm just like, she's just there low,
• 2:52
  lower mid tier. I don't I I don't think I do
• 2:55
  think she's one of the fittest women in the world.
• 2:57
  I think she's, but she's not. She's like a semi young Troy.
• 3:04
  Like she'll be, yeah, she'll be like 18th to 23rd.
• 3:07
  Yeah, she'll do fine, but I don't think.
• 3:10
  There's not going to be events where she like does really well
• 3:13
  at like she just, she's not going to like specialize in a
• 3:15
  certain event and like beat somebody relevant.
• 3:19
  She's just going to be there. Not that she's not deserving.
• 3:23
  I would rather her that. Yeah, sure.
• 3:25
  Yeah. You know there's a place for
• 3:27
  her. I don't know, I feel like, but
• 3:30
  this is me making up stories again, but I feel like she's has
• 3:34
  the potential to be very, very good, like someone who's going
• 3:37
  to be top five in three years. But that's me hoping.
• 3:40
  I don't know. Also, Kenneth, I know I I need I
• 3:45
  can't. We were at the 24 games.
• 3:51
  It was me, Pedro and Jr. in a car and we were going to get C
• 3:56
  fours and coffees. This is like 7 in the morning
• 4:00
  and Pedro just like it's dead quiet and Pedro goes, Tyler are
• 4:04
  you OK? It's like what's wrong?
• 4:06
  He gets why are you breathing so hard?
• 4:08
  I was like, I just breathe this way dude.
• 4:11
  I can't freaking help it. You're like a bulldog.
• 4:13
  I always hear hear the Bulldogs stop breathing.
• 4:17
  I saw something up here. Tyler, you're a bulldog if you
• 4:24
  were a dog. That's rough.
• 4:26
  I don't think that's true, Did. Did you get it?
• 4:34
  Wow, wake apnea. That was pretty good, wasn't it?
• 4:42
  Yeah, something like that. I don't know if down, down.
• 4:47
  Probably quit by now. All right, Next up at Booty Cat
• 4:52
  37. Booty Cat.
• 4:55
  Yeah, booty cat new game. Tyler will beat John at show
• 4:59
  Athletes butts and see who can name it first.
• 5:03
  I you can't, you could not beat me at this game.
• 5:06
  I don't care to beat you at that game.
• 5:09
  Male, female judge, C-Suite exec.
• 5:15
  I would kill it. That's what you spend your time
• 5:18
  on. It's not predictions or
• 5:20
  research. It's.
• 5:23
  Let's not get carried. Let's not get carried away now.
• 5:25
  Yeah, get out of here. Sorry.
• 5:29
  My volume was jacked up because of last week when I was trying
• 5:33
  to overcompensate for having a bad thing.
• 5:35
  I just, I hopefully just fixed it, yeah.
• 5:38
  Well, maybe not. Yeah, maybe we'll we'll throw
• 5:41
  some some booty shots in there and see if Tyler can can win.
• 5:45
  Maybe next week. Next up at Cody Gifford is Cor
• 5:51
  Corinne Pepper Streaming. This is reference to Syndicate
• 5:54
  asking for a friend. There is potential for a grace
• 5:58
  and Cam. No, we, we will, we will
• 6:01
  prosecute to the fullest extent if you do that.
• 6:03
  We cannot allow any pirate streams.
• 6:06
  I welcome it, but I will come ask you to come up to the booth
• 6:10
  and film. You could do that.
• 6:12
  I can make you a cameraman in a heartbeat.
• 6:15
  We could always use some help, you know?
• 6:16
  We need, we need camera people. That's right.
• 6:18
  That's right. I actually think that's why
• 6:21
  Jason went to French throw down because he's going to be one of
• 6:24
  the cameramen for Syndicate. He's going to qualify and then
• 6:28
  we'll just. Do you think we can get him do?
• 6:30
  You think there's no way he'd be good at it?
• 6:32
  There's no way to be good at it. Yeah, but just I would trust
• 6:35
  Graceann over Hopper to be holding the camera.
• 6:37
  Now, picture of Hopper holding a camera and trying to be a
• 6:40
  cameraman. Can we get him to be a cameraman
• 6:42
  for one? One event, I think.
• 6:44
  One event. Yeah, just one event.
• 6:46
  Be the hop. We can throw him on the tripod.
• 6:47
  All right, back to the Hopper Cam and then him just fumbling
• 6:51
  around trying to get a good shot of something, dude, I think.
• 6:54
  He's too big. He's too big to be holding the.
• 6:57
  Camera. We'll throw him on a tripod.
• 6:58
  We. Could have no two cameras.
• 7:00
  Tripod, yeah. Tripod.
• 7:02
  You're on the tripod. I think it would be great, just
• 7:05
  one event, we'll call it the hopper Cam, and then you know,
• 7:08
  and we'll just see if it works well just for the bottom heats.
• 7:12
  I'd want 1 camera on him though. And I'll.
• 7:15
  Only, say, cameras. I'll only say names and he won't
• 7:18
  know who the names. Are first teat of teams.
• 7:20
  Yeah, yeah, is where we'll put them.
• 7:21
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be like,
• 7:24
  like a hopper, go to Kevin's to win events.
• 7:29
  And then he'll be like, who's that?
• 7:31
  And I'm like, just figure it out, man.
• 7:33
  And just he wants to see who he puts it on.
• 7:35
  It's like Shane Gillis's joke with Matt, Matt Mccusker's wife
• 7:40
  as the the WNBA star, but she wasn't a WNBA star at all.
• 7:44
  And you're just shouting out names and they're not there.
• 7:47
  Or like like like training think tank and then it's like somebody
• 7:52
  who used to be on training think tank but they're not there
• 7:54
  anymore. Like we'll do something like
• 7:56
  that. Just bait him.
• 7:57
  Yeah. Yeah, we step on Legos Heat 1
• 8:00
  and he'd be like, what? We step on LEGO's Hopper, come
• 8:03
  on. And then, and then, dude, I
• 8:05
  think it would be amazing. Do you think he'd be down for
• 8:07
  it? What else is he doing?
• 8:10
  For the community. Talking.
• 8:13
  Dude, is it? Well, I guess we'll get to it
• 8:15
  later. Go ahead.
• 8:16
  Next, next thing. Yeah, I don't know.
• 8:18
  I see Vicky the Hopper Cam would be awesome.
• 8:23
  Let him do athlete interviews. I think no bad.
• 8:27
  At athlete interviews, I don't think you would be good at
• 8:29
  athlete interviews at all. Be like, hey man, how has that
• 8:35
  event? That's why he's better.
• 8:38
  Than some speaking about what we were talking about before.
• 8:41
  The show, you did great. You did great.
• 8:43
  Yeah. Oh, that would be good one.
• 8:44
  I don't know if he's going. To be real enough.
• 8:46
  Yeah, I don't know what his plan is.
• 8:47
  I don't know when he'll be in Knoxville, but we might try to
• 8:52
  use him. Next up, add James in the gym.
• 8:58
  James, get back in the gym. It's just Americans, if anyone
• 9:02
  else went this is at Copacur it would have been grand.
• 9:07
  Americans going to Brazil to liberate game spots is very US
• 9:11
  of them liberation. I like that.
• 9:18
  I mean, we weren't upset that Lucy and and Victor came into
• 9:21
  mayhem and grabbed some spots. It's a little different.
• 9:25
  They got invited but. It it is wild because it's like
• 9:30
  it's just ignoring the fact that they aren't good enough.
• 9:34
  The men are the men are both men from South America qualified.
• 9:39
  Oh, that's true. Jorge couldn't get it through,
• 9:41
  but Jorge's been not. Really.
• 9:46
  This. He has been to the games.
• 9:48
  I'm sorry. Speaking of Forehead, he's going
• 9:51
  to be out at Norcal. I saw him on the roster.
• 9:53
  Listen, we're we're going to, we can go and take your dictator
• 9:56
  anytime we want. We'll go and take our game spots
• 9:58
  too, OK? Does Brazil have a dictator?
• 10:01
  I don't know. It's not about Brazil's
• 10:02
  government, but I'm just saying that if we can go and just take
• 10:06
  anybody out at anytime we want to, including CrossFit game
• 10:10
  spots, if you have a problem with it, then take it to us.
• 10:15
  I don't care. Are you a little surprised that
• 10:17
  there isn't somebody in South America that's good enough?
• 10:20
  At 3811 Cherry St. Lane, Fulshear, Texas 76344.
• 10:26
  Why would you dox yourself? Come to.
• 10:28
  My doorstep. Any Brazilian?
• 10:30
  Come to my doorstep and we'll have a chat, OK?
• 10:38
  I told you the actual question why?
• 10:44
  Why don't you think anybody, like the South Americans are
• 10:46
  good enough to qualify? Like they couldn't beat Miley,
• 10:52
  who granted, she's turning out to be good, but she's never been
• 10:56
  in a game. Girl goes and smacks you all
• 10:59
  around. I could, I could crush her skull
• 11:04
  with my hand, that's how small she is and she's just whipping
• 11:07
  y'all up a. Show she ain't coming to
• 11:09
  syndicate Crown to visit now is she?
• 11:11
  No Miley's great, I'm just saying she's a little bitty
• 11:13
  thing and just ruins y'all. Yeah, Matt, I, I want you to
• 11:17
  know and make some crazy edits that never see the light of day.
• 11:20
  They they get vetoed. We might bring that back.
• 11:25
  There's there's a reason why I might bring it back now, but I
• 11:30
  mean, Brazil is like a growing like huge growing CrossFit area.
• 11:38
  And for them like to not be able to be like again, no, running
• 11:42
  definitely helped. Annika no doubt have like a lot
• 11:46
  of the heavy stuff Miley showed that she could lift with them.
• 11:49
  But you would think that like one of them would have been like
• 11:55
  in contention, like Annika's missed year after year after
• 11:59
  year. She may have gotten over that
• 12:00
  hurdle. You have a rookie who's 18 or 19
• 12:03
  years old and there's nobody from South America that could
• 12:08
  even be like that close. Entre Informa, Yeah, y'all know
• 12:18
  what I said? Entre Informa Brazil.
• 12:22
  Entre entre intere M forma. Wait, what was it?
• 12:32
  I can't speak. It.
• 12:34
  Listen, Ortega, it's close enough and she trains out of
• 12:37
  Miami. She is now American, just like
• 12:40
  New Zealanders. Just like New Zealanders are
• 12:42
  from Australia, Canadians are from the US.
• 12:46
  Getting India CrossFit question a little bit more, why do you
• 12:51
  think that is? It's like the European women's,
• 12:55
  well, the European women really took off, but it seems like
• 12:59
  athletic culture for the women's a little bit better.
• 13:02
  I think the athletic in general is better.
• 13:05
  I don't know when I think of Brazil or South America at all.
• 13:08
  I think a very, very, very athletic, but they're also.
• 13:10
  Soccer, though, that's it. I mean, that's it.
• 13:15
  It's not like Dominican Republic, right?
• 13:16
  Like we're, it's like all the baseball players come from
• 13:19
  there, right? It's, it's in Cuba, you know,
• 13:23
  and all around the place, right. But like, I'm thinking the
• 13:25
  Brazil, how many Brazilian baseball players do you know?
• 13:28
  It's just soccer. Well, they don't.
• 13:30
  Or Argentinian. They play baseball.
• 13:33
  Well, that's what I'm saying. Like you say, I think athletic,
• 13:36
  it's one thing. I don't know of any other thing.
• 13:39
  There's some decent lifters from Brazil, but they're they're not
• 13:42
  like the best. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 13:48
  I don't know, I I mean, maybe it's just because they've not
• 13:51
  had enough time to. I know, I know why.
• 13:57
  Oh, OK. I know why.
• 13:59
  It's because they can't get over themselves.
• 14:02
  They live in a bubble and they think that the best people that
• 14:07
  are in their little bubble are the best in the world.
• 14:10
  Anytime any Brazilian does anything, the comments are
• 14:14
  flooded of support and it's awesome.
• 14:17
  Their community unto themselves. Listen, if I was Brazilian, I
• 14:21
  would love being from Brazil. They really do like back each
• 14:24
  other, but it's to a false narrative.
• 14:28
  Like it's it's it's like I thought.
• 14:31
  We found one. OK, I'm trying to think of where
• 14:37
  like a a good analogy right now. It's it's I don't, I don't have
• 14:44
  a good analogy. But they they believe that their
• 14:48
  best people are like, there is nobody better.
• 14:51
  There is a famous it goes. It's not just sports.
• 14:55
  It's there was a girl that did the national anthem at the Grid
• 14:59
  League finals and I had never heard of her.
• 15:02
  And I was like, who you know, who's it?
• 15:03
  Like they made a, they made a big post about her, like she was
• 15:05
  famous and stuff. And I and I had no idea who her
• 15:07
  name was. And I looked her up and she's
• 15:10
  famous in Brazil and she's got millions and millions of
• 15:14
  followers. And I had never heard her name,
• 15:17
  just as many followers as freaking Ariana Grande.
• 15:20
  And I had no clue who she was. But she's around Brazil.
• 15:23
  They're in there. I'm saying they have their
• 15:25
  little bubble and it's, and there's so many people down
• 15:29
  there that it's it, it hurts them.
• 15:34
  It hurts them because they don't look at the world, they look at
• 15:37
  just them. Dude, this is so true.
• 15:40
  If you really, really look into it, I promise you.
• 15:44
  I think a lot of countries would say the same thing about us
• 15:46
  because we don't give a shit about our sports.
• 15:49
  OK, but we're the best at our sports.
• 15:52
  Yeah, but like, OK. Listen, Tyler.
• 15:54
  Tyler. He's talking about American
• 15:55
  football. It's like, OK, we're the best.
• 15:57
  Tyler, Tyler, Tyler. If David Beckham, he's not even
• 16:00
  from here. He's from England.
• 16:01
  All right. Landon Donovan.
• 16:02
  Landon Donovan. I would never, ever say Landon
• 16:06
  Donovan is the best soccer player in the world.
• 16:08
  He's the best American soccer player.
• 16:11
  But we suck at soccer like our best lifters.
• 16:14
  We suck at lifting. Olivia Reeves is sock.
• 16:17
  Olivia Reeves is the best in the world.
• 16:18
  But if like Hampton Morris, if I it's like me saying Hampton
• 16:23
  Morris is the best male lifter 64K class in the world, y'all
• 16:28
  can't touch them. It's just not true.
• 16:31
  There's a whole bunch of little 15 year old Chinese kids who are
• 16:34
  better than Hampton Morris and it's not.
• 16:37
  And like I'm telling you guys they had they don't believe
• 16:41
  that. They don't look at the world,
• 16:42
  they look at just themselves. What about Otani?
• 16:46
  What about Otani? Otani still he's.
• 16:48
  He's great. He's also a genetically modified
• 16:51
  individual. On top of that, on top of that,
• 16:55
  they the freaking drug culture is crazy.
• 16:59
  Like, I mean, we all we. All yeah, I was going to say
• 17:01
  like, we suck at weightlifting because we have USADA we have to
• 17:04
  deal with. I'm not even going to bring that
• 17:06
  into that. But like I'm saying, like South
• 17:08
  American drug culture, it's just, it's just wild and.
• 17:12
  Shouldn't they be better then? You guys know it?
• 17:14
  I don't think so. If you take shortcuts, you never
• 17:16
  know what real hard work is. I mean it worked for all the.
• 17:22
  Work starting harder. And Russians for years.
• 17:26
  And CrossFit. Maybe not.
• 17:29
  You know, and if you guys think I'm wrong, I like, then you're
• 17:33
  not being honest with yourself because 100% that is the truth.
• 17:37
  I think they hurt themselves. I need to.
• 17:42
  When somebody's better, it's OK to say they're better and then
• 17:46
  you will be better for it because you know there's better
• 17:49
  out there. Don't lie to yourself.
• 17:54
  That's that's very true. All right, Next up at Kyle
• 17:58
  Dotson is CrossFit is going to do a paywall.
• 18:01
  Then they need to just partner with Charter Spectrum and have
• 18:06
  their own TV channel so we can finally get some quality
• 18:09
  CrossFit shows. Who's charter spectrum?
• 18:16
  Is that just spectrum? I think it's just a cable
• 18:18
  provider. Yeah, but we'll give with that
• 18:21
  to you I. Don't know if there was like
• 18:27
  what it what would you, what would happen though if CrossFit
• 18:29
  was like, you know, like they had the NBA network, NFL
• 18:32
  Network, CrossFit Network and next thing you know they had
• 18:37
  24/7 of shows like we were syndicated on those shows.
• 18:43
  I mean, I talked to you and you and Hillary about doing this.
• 18:46
  I think this is a really good points, man.
• 18:48
  I'm glad you brought this up. This is what they should do is
• 18:53
  there's. Slow Elite.
• 18:55
  No, they should have the channel.
• 18:58
  So back in the day it was basically HQ.
• 19:02
  Barbell shrugged. And like, that was it.
• 19:05
  And now? Arm and hammer.
• 19:09
  Arm and hammer. Broadcast Podcast.
• 19:11
  But like, nobody was doing anything.
• 19:13
  So everybody, anything HQ put out, everybody was right there
• 19:17
  to watch it, right? And we don't have that anymore.
• 19:19
  And I think it's a huge problem for them.
• 19:21
  And so one of the things that I think that they should do and
• 19:24
  they should have already thought of this a long time ago, is
• 19:27
  start collaborating, coordinating with the shows that
• 19:30
  already exist. You see this with the boys
• 19:34
  interrupted, which is an easy one because they're athletes.
• 19:38
  But like, and I'm not trying to do like a Scott thing here.
• 19:44
  Where am I? I'm not trying to do it.
• 19:46
  Yeah, Clydesdale thing here. I'm, I'm not saying like you
• 19:49
  should give us more shout. I'm just saying like, no one's
• 19:51
  watching your channel. Like the, the numbers are
• 19:53
  atrocious on the HQ side. And so like to bring that back
• 19:57
  in, even if you're just doing it just so you can leverage the
• 20:00
  viewers back into your thing and then ditch everybody later.
• 20:03
  That's 100% what I would do. Do you think you could do like
• 20:07
  if there was a, a 24/7 live like CrossFit stuff like all the all
• 20:13
  the shows, like it may not even be live, but like they took our
• 20:16
  show and they put it on at 3:00 AM to 5:00 AM on Thursday
• 20:20
  mornings or something. Like, show's going to have to
• 20:21
  get pretty creative to. Do something a little bit
• 20:24
  different. Yeah, I mean, you'd see a lot
• 20:26
  more stuff like Kill Taylor or game shows different, different
• 20:29
  things like that. But maybe it starts if there's
• 20:32
  that opportunity. Yeah, all right, we need to.
• 20:35
  We have one more comment, but I wanted to bring on Mr. Jr.
• 20:39
  Howell, Crash Ice. Before you bring this comment
• 20:42
  up, Spin Jr. what do you think about Brazil?
• 20:45
  What's their problem? It's a beautiful country.
• 20:48
  What do you mean? Why aren't they better?
• 20:55
  I gave my reasoning. I don't know if you heard it or
• 20:57
  not, but. No, I didn't.
• 21:00
  It's a good it's a good listen. You should scroll back before
• 21:02
  we're done with this syndicate workouts.
• 21:04
  I don't know. I mean, I don't think it's any
• 21:07
  different than the United States and probably Europe and also
• 21:10
  Asia, but I imagine that they're not feeding their their prodigal
• 21:16
  youth from a like savant standpoint athletically to the
• 21:20
  sport of CrossFit. They're probably sending them to
• 21:23
  soccer and all other sports. So I don't, I don't really see
• 21:27
  it as being a as being a sport outside of weightlifting, like
• 21:32
  Olympic weightlifting. I don't know if it's government
• 21:34
  funded or not, but like how some of the European countries are
• 21:37
  government funded, like the sport of fitness, CrossFit,
• 21:40
  people can get paid to do it. So it makes more sense that you
• 21:42
  would see more strides there. I don't really, I don't know
• 21:46
  what other reason that they wouldn't be better at CrossFit.
• 21:50
  What was your reasoning? Well, I don't think we have time
• 21:54
  to go on. I mean, I ranted on for a
• 21:56
  minute, but I I can do it. But I don't think a miracle's
• 22:01
  any different than than Brazil in that aspect though.
• 22:05
  And like what you just said. Yeah, like, you mean like the
• 22:08
  really, really good athletes wanting to play football or
• 22:10
  wanting to play baseball? Absolutely, yeah.
• 22:12
  And I think it's more so in America that that would be the
• 22:15
  deal than in Brazil because you only got 1 sport essentially
• 22:18
  that that kind of takes over for them is what I'm saying.
• 22:23
  I would love for you to text me after you hear what I said
• 22:26
  because I think people are afraid to just say the truth.
• 22:30
  OK. All right, go ahead.
• 22:32
  Next thing. All right, last one, and this is
• 22:34
  just to to start off on a good fit with Jr. at Kathy Stan Jr.
• 22:40
  should be. Pro, I would like to not read.
• 22:42
  You could just take that down. OK, let's just pull.
• 22:45
  Up. I'll skip this one.
• 22:46
  Let's pull up Romans. In fact, I wish he was my GPS
• 22:49
  voice. How about that?
• 22:51
  You could be. You could be on the next Garmin.
• 22:55
  Say, say, recalculating real quick for me.
• 22:59
  Or or just just just rewind it back all.
• 23:05
  Right. Actually, for the real reason we
• 23:07
  brought Jr. The individual workouts for
• 23:11
  Syndicate Crown have been released and just like teams, we
• 23:14
  want to get some insight into why we brought why, why, why Jr.
• 23:20
  programmed a wheelbarrow, why he has rope climbs at 4 legless 3
• 23:27
  three legs or or vice versa. Is there too much running?
• 23:31
  Is there not enough running? We want to get into all that
• 23:33
  stuff. So without any further delay,
• 23:38
  the individual workouts are here.
• 23:43
  Let's just get right into it. First one ball till you fall.
• 23:49
  D ball squat cleans, box jump overs, rowing burpees the target
• 23:54
  and then back down rowing box jump overs and D ball squat
• 23:57
  cleans. This is the long 122 minutes.
• 24:02
  Not long enough. Yeah.
• 24:06
  I mean, depending on who you ask, for sure we, we should be
• 24:10
  going to the 30 plus minute time domain since at the games we
• 24:13
  typically see, typically see a couple that are 30 minutes plus.
• 24:18
  So I mean, I think an argument can be made there.
• 24:21
  I think if there's a, if there's a decision to be made of like,
• 24:26
  do we do 6 events? Do I get to maybe test something
• 24:29
  a little different versus do I do 5 and do I just do one that's
• 24:32
  over 30 minutes? I think generally the same thing
• 24:35
  can be accomplished in a 20 minute workout as a 30.
• 24:37
  And I think at this level specifically classic CrossFit
• 24:41
  Trump's all. I really do.
• 24:42
  I think that there's a there's a time and a place to test certain
• 24:46
  things and I think that not many people are going to slip through
• 24:49
  the cracks. As long as you're pretty
• 24:51
  strategic with what movements you put and what combinations, I
• 24:56
  think 6 is a good number to have.
• 24:58
  And I think for this workout specifically, if it was 30
• 25:02
  minutes, it would, it would do nothing more for the test.
• 25:05
  I think like for this style of mixed modal long CrossFit this
• 25:10
  is this is as long as it needs to be.
• 25:12
  The separations will be made. That I think a 22 minute workout
• 25:18
  is with with this type of like these type of elements is
• 25:24
  doesn't need to be 30 minutes, whereas like a run, if you want
• 25:26
  to do a long run, I think it needs to be closer to 30 minutes
• 25:29
  to really test that. Like I think those are
• 25:32
  different. And like if you just again, like
• 25:35
  you add 30 minutes of these movements, I don't think you get
• 25:38
  much more out of it. Yeah, without getting too like I
• 25:41
  guess crazy to the programming weeds, I know I'm already going
• 25:44
  to talk my head off on this. Single modality, single movement
• 25:50
  can be done, has to be done really, really well and it has
• 25:53
  been done at the semi final level.
• 25:54
  If you have some balance between the three modalities for sure.
• 25:58
  But I think single modality specifically if you have like an
• 26:01
  all weightlifting coupled or triplet or all gymnastics.
• 26:04
  I mean, my favorite year of programming at this level was
• 26:07
  2018, which started off with a triplet, triplet triplet.
• 26:11
  One was mono, 1 was weightlifting, one was
• 26:14
  gymnastics. I think it's like crazy creative
• 26:17
  and it balanced each other well and everything.
• 26:20
  And that year they did 333, which was in that 30 plus minute
• 26:23
  time domain. But I think even in that
• 26:25
  workout, and some people would argue with me, if that workout
• 26:28
  would have been 2K row 21 and double one or two mile run this
• 26:31
  it's it's pretty close. The finishes are pretty close.
• 26:35
  So I don't, I think in this workout, those classic chippers
• 26:40
  from back in the day, like obviously there's a couple
• 26:43
  hundreds chippers. There's a 50s chipper, which
• 26:45
  this was kind of modeled after with the ring dips in the
• 26:48
  middle, light deadlifts, box jump overs, rowing.
• 26:52
  And then the two hints that were posted this week on Sunday and
• 26:55
  Monday, the last chance qualifier hint was the burpees
• 26:59
  to target because we're going to use the plexiglass from the
• 27:02
  handstand, push up and tape lines.
• 27:04
  And the athletes will work their way down the floor.
• 27:08
  And after the row, they'll be facing the start mat where the
• 27:11
  rig is and they'll do 25 burpees lateral to the plexiglass
• 27:15
  reaching up and touching with one hand.
• 27:17
  And then at 26, they'll turn around and they'll face the
• 27:20
  rower because they're coming back down the chipper and
• 27:23
  they'll use the other hand. So that, that LCQ 100 burpees
• 27:27
  for time was just a, a clue that we were going to use that
• 27:30
  movement, not necessarily 100 burpees for time.
• 27:33
  And then the D ball squat clean was the, the rogue thumbnail.
• 27:39
  We, we put Colton in there. I said I wanted to pick at least
• 27:41
  one of the athletes that actually did that work out.
• 27:44
  And I think there's five of them that are coming, Sachs and
• 27:47
  Colton, Danielle Haley, and then I think maybe Pat was the fifth
• 27:52
  one. So it was cool that some of
• 27:54
  those athletes who did that movement, I guess the first time
• 27:58
  and maybe the only time it was programmed in a big competition
• 28:01
  are actually going to be doing it six years later.
• 28:03
  I thought was pretty cool. So a little bit of an unknown
• 28:06
  element, a little bit of AI mean I do squat cleans all the time,
• 28:09
  but I never use AD ball. And if I do anything, I use a
• 28:12
  sandbag. So if you have one, great.
• 28:15
  I know a lot of athletes have already told me they messed
• 28:17
  around with it today. It's not really that hard to get
• 28:20
  to catch on to, but it is a little different, especially
• 28:23
  like in the trunk, a lot more midline stabilization on like
• 28:27
  the obliques. If you're going to alternate, I
• 28:30
  think that's better kind of balances everything out.
• 28:32
  If not that hip just kind of takes a beating on that side
• 28:35
  that you're going to be going to the whole time.
• 28:37
  And but in general here, yeah, guys, just base capacity, leg
• 28:42
  dominant. I mean, I think the workout is
• 28:44
  the 100 squat cleans for most people.
• 28:48
  If you're bad at burpees, you're definitely there's a hole there
• 28:51
  in your fitness. I don't I don't think there
• 28:53
  there can be too much separation there.
• 28:55
  But I think all the movements in here matter.
• 28:57
  And I know last year with the hundreds having the echo bike at
• 28:59
  the beginning was kind of a throwaway.
• 29:01
  I kind of acknowledge that after the fact.
• 29:03
  And so I wanted to make sure that the calories really
• 29:05
  counted. And I think having them
• 29:07
  sandwiching the burpees is like is the perfect place for them.
• 29:13
  Box jump overs, Is that a step down?
• 29:15
  Is that rebounding? It is, it is before we step
• 29:19
  down, it'll be the the 30 inch surface big foam plyos, so that
• 29:26
  kind of longer, longer jump across.
• 29:30
  When the the ball squat cleans are allowed to touch and go, are
• 29:33
  they singles? Required Singles.
• 29:35
  Touch and go for sure is allowed and anyone that wants to watch
• 29:39
  like some of the best people in the world cycle that movement.
• 29:41
  That year it was rowing, D ball, squat clean, D ball, step over,
• 29:47
  strict handstand, push ups and then back down.
• 29:49
  That was their workout. And I went back to watch just to
• 29:52
  do some research of like how long reps per second and all
• 29:56
  that, reps per minute, all that kind of stuff.
• 29:58
  And they allowed them to just leave both hands on the ball,
• 30:01
  which I really like. So there is no hand release.
• 30:04
  So you'll do the squat clean, you can receive it, stand up
• 30:07
  with it with both hands securing it and that's the Rep.
• 30:10
  So as soon as you lock out hips and knees, you're good.
• 30:14
  So if you wanted to go touch and go, it would be a lot easier.
• 30:17
  You don't have to bring that hand back to the deep ball.
• 30:19
  But then if you if you wanted to just drop it, that there's the
• 30:23
  likelihood of it slipping off and getting a no Rep is a lot
• 30:26
  less. Which I like 'cause I I don't.
• 30:28
  The ball getting sweaty is not why I want someone to get a no
• 30:31
  Rep. Yeah, it's gonna be gnarly if
• 30:34
  there are people who get off on a race.
• 30:36
  I actually think it favors your really good squatters maybe
• 30:42
  maybe more for the men's side than the women's side.
• 30:44
  The women's side, maybe the row might have a little more
• 30:47
  advantage, just depends. Like if there was a Nautica that
• 30:50
  was here, maybe not, but there there isn't so.
• 30:53
  Yeah, I think, I think you can make up a little bit of time
• 30:56
  everywhere. I think the box jump is where
• 30:58
  you make up or lose the least amount of time.
• 31:01
  And then I would say it probably goes to the rower and then to
• 31:05
  the burpee and then to the squats.
• 31:06
  I think the squat cleans, because it's going to be mostly
• 31:09
  singles for people in the back half, taking 6 seconds in
• 31:13
  between reps or taking 8 seconds in between reps really, really
• 31:17
  starts to add up over the course of fifty.
• 31:19
  So the burpees is interesting because typically you see a
• 31:22
  burpee and you automatically think smaller athlete, but
• 31:25
  because they have to reach up and touch, it's just a little
• 31:28
  bit more, it's a little bit more effort.
• 31:30
  It just kind of levels the playing field.
• 31:31
  So I was listening to the show Taylor and Savon did.
• 31:35
  It was a really good show. Like halfway through it, Taylor
• 31:38
  made a good point about when he looks at this workout, he kind
• 31:42
  of thinks it favors the bigger metabolic person and not
• 31:45
  necessarily the smaller metabolic person.
• 31:48
  Which was interesting 'cause I think I think the best two times
• 31:52
  could be someone like Colton and Austin and it could be someone
• 31:55
  like Jason. Like I think both both types of
• 31:57
  athlete profiles could could do really well in a workout like
• 32:00
  this. I just think that squat speed.
• 32:03
  For sure, yeah, I, I ultimately, I mean, this is this is
• 32:07
  definitely the squatting stamina test.
• 32:09
  Like, yeah, there it's a basic fitness, but like more targeted.
• 32:12
  This is like quads. This is squatting for sure.
• 32:16
  Yeah, this is. The For people who don't know
• 32:21
  how much burpees to target, like is equals the playing field, Go
• 32:28
  watch Chaos when they're doing the burpees to the line and
• 32:32
  Fikowski and Fraser are right next to each other and you see
• 32:35
  the two extremes of if a guy who can just reach it and a guy who
• 32:40
  has to jump 8 inches and they are essentially are going at the
• 32:43
  exact same cadence. I think Matt is still a hair
• 32:47
  faster. But like there was no burpees
• 32:49
  being made-up like across 40. Maybe one was made-up.
• 32:54
  It's not like every four burpees Colton will make up one on
• 32:58
  somebody like the burpees to target.
• 33:01
  It's more. Costly for somebody like Colton
• 33:05
  and Austin. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 33:06
  But I'm just like, go watch that chaos with Frazer and Vykowski
• 33:10
  right next to each other. It's a really funny video, but
• 33:14
  like you'll see the differences in what that means.
• 33:16
  Yeah. And like a lot of people ask
• 33:18
  about the feedback that CrossFit gave to the competition
• 33:21
  programmers and Boz was our resource, gave us a ton of good
• 33:25
  feedback. One of the things he kind of
• 33:27
  helped with, I, I had this a lot taller.
• 33:29
  I had this at like one O 2, I think for the men, maybe even
• 33:32
  one O 4. And he was like, Hey, pay for
• 33:36
  reference, the straps for chaos were whatever, 90 and 96.
• 33:42
  And he was like, you know, Brent didn't have to jump, but Matt
• 33:44
  did. So it's like maybe a little
• 33:46
  taller than that would make sense.
• 33:47
  So I mean, that was really good information cause I've watched
• 33:50
  that work out a ton of times, but I've never have known what
• 33:53
  the actual height of the red strap was.
• 33:55
  And the fact that they get to jump in touch with one hand is
• 33:59
  is good here because you can get higher with one hand.
• 34:02
  Most people can reaching than they can with two in which they
• 34:05
  had to touch with two the year, the chaos year.
• 34:08
  And it's 88 foot 2. It's not bad, it's not bad, it's
• 34:11
  just like it does help to be tall for sure, but it's not so
• 34:16
  high that like a really short athlete is going to struggle to
• 34:19
  touch it by any means. 92 inches is a standard standard pull up
• 34:23
  bar height. So if you guys have done a
• 34:25
  competition like at the regional level or even I think probably a
• 34:28
  lot of local competitions use that 92 inch pull up bar height.
• 34:31
  If you can jump and touch that, you'd be able to touch the
• 34:33
  target. What was your outside rig?
• 34:36
  What was? What were those set to?
• 34:37
  Do you know? Those are a little heavy, right
• 34:40
  94? Buddy, I don't know if I'm
• 34:43
  touching it. You're touching it with one hand
• 34:47
  now. Not after doing, Not after doing
• 34:49
  squat cleans the box jump overs. Of the road win play this game.
• 34:51
  Tyler Jr. can get picked between US 2.
• 34:54
  We're we're going to. Do all these JRS.
• 34:56
  We probably need, we probably need to move on, right?
• 34:58
  It, it is a it is a lot of legs. It, it should be good.
• 35:00
  It's day one is I guess what more people would call boring to
• 35:04
  watch. And that's OK.
• 35:06
  I think it's necessary, but everyone's going to feel this
• 35:09
  all weekend, which is why I like to put it first.
• 35:11
  Kind of like last year calling. It boring is like the hundreds
• 35:14
  last year and watching people just try to slog through it.
• 35:17
  Like yeah, it was slower, but there was some great parts to.
• 35:22
  That crash outs, Yeah. I feel like JRC baiting this
• 35:25
  question because he has a clear favorite.
• 35:27
  I'm a little offended already. What?
• 35:30
  What question? Picking me or John?
• 35:33
  I come on, they are. Yeah.
• 35:38
  My my brain work. Out.
• 35:40
  Come on, my brain only tries to only tries to predict what what
• 35:44
  the people that want to go to the games are capable.
• 35:46
  Of I we both want to go to the games dude.
• 35:50
  I think you know. I think you know the answer.
• 35:53
  Me. Maybe I could squat.
• 35:55
  Endurance, Tyler, I think it's a wrap.
• 35:57
  I don't go ahead. Friday afternoon.
• 36:00
  You'll win this one. It's one to one right now,
• 36:01
  Tyler. It's got GHDS in it though 3.
• 36:06
  Rounds 400 meters 40 GHD setup 7 rope climbs 4 legless for the
• 36:11
  men, three with legs, 3 legless for the women with four legs.
• 36:18
  Is this is this on a runner or is this going to be actually
• 36:21
  running? Outside, it'll be there.
• 36:23
  It'll be a similar course to what they did the yoke repeater
• 36:25
  on last year, which last year was 8 rounds of 400.
• 36:31
  So it was a lot more running. And I know most people are kind
• 36:36
  of expecting a long running workout.
• 36:39
  So another reason why I kind of wanted that medium time domain
• 36:43
  for the run because I still wanted to do some old school
• 36:47
  classic long CrossFit for the you would call endurance event
• 36:52
  because we don't get that very much very often.
• 36:55
  It's more so aerobic based as we think monostructural type stuff.
• 36:59
  So this one, there's a couple that are in that moderate time
• 37:02
  domain, which I think is is not hit all the time.
• 37:05
  This one should do that. I think it's going to be 13 to
• 37:07
  cap. I think the fastest people are
• 37:09
  going to be closer to 13, maybe sub 13 for the fastest.
• 37:13
  And then there's going to be a lot of people that get capped
• 37:15
  here and it's they're going to be capped not because of their
• 37:17
  running pace or even because of their GHD cadence, but it's just
• 37:21
  going to be because they're just not good enough pulling with
• 37:24
  that big a chunk. So this Rep scheme is from the
• 37:27
  2016 four O 5 deadlift workout was the first year they used
• 37:32
  the, the true form and it was 440 and then seven deadlifts.
• 37:36
  So I, I really like that Rep scheme was a really memorable
• 37:39
  one for me as far as like the old school regionals.
• 37:42
  And I wanted to do a pull, just not a pull from the floor.
• 37:45
  And I think the legless into legs.
• 37:48
  It gives people obviously a, a, a chance to separate on the
• 37:52
  legless, which is this is a focused pulling test.
• 37:58
  And I think if you're someone that can do 2 pretty fast, but
• 38:02
  you can't do 3 or you're a male and you can do two or three
• 38:05
  pretty fast, but you can't do the 4th, then you already start
• 38:08
  to separate out. And then having to go from the
• 38:11
  legless to the legs is actually a lot more difficult than people
• 38:14
  will give it credit for. Those ones with legs are not are
• 38:17
  not as easy as you think they're going to be.
• 38:19
  And that's because you start failing the GHDSA little bit
• 38:21
  more. So first two workouts, you don't
• 38:25
  think about the D balls as being a whole lot of like upper body
• 38:28
  engagement, but most people are kind of curling that implement.
• 38:31
  So it is still a lot of bicep fatigue going into the rope
• 38:35
  climbs. There's also a lot of midline in
• 38:38
  that first workout that you don't really see on paper.
• 38:41
  So these first two days are very much like legs and legs and
• 38:46
  midline for sure. The run.
• 38:49
  Did you say where we were running?
• 38:51
  Yeah, it's outside. Same.
• 38:52
  Same course as the Yoga Peter. OK, right.
• 38:55
  Yeah, I I like this one from a standpoint of you actually have
• 38:58
  to probably if you want to be in the hunt to win it, you have to
• 39:02
  run the 400. It's harder than you want to.
• 39:04
  Yeah, that's that's a perfect analysis of the way that the
• 39:08
  runs matter for the best. So like the people who want to
• 39:12
  go to the games, they're all can do 40 GHDS unbroken, They're all
• 39:16
  going to be within a Rep on the rope.
• 39:19
  But it's like, hey, who's willing to run 6 minute miles
• 39:22
  the whole time and who's willing to run a little harder or who's
• 39:24
  not because they're just trying to let their upper body recover
• 39:27
  before they get back. There's the run is going to
• 39:30
  separate the best people, maybe even as much as as the rope
• 39:33
  climbs will. But on paper, this is like,
• 39:37
  again, aggressive time cap, 15 minutes, 12 legless for the
• 39:41
  guys, 9 for the females, 21 for everyone.
• 39:45
  And if you think of it as 92nd splits, you're kind of got the
• 39:48
  right idea. And when it was tested, that was
• 39:52
  like a very consistent split. So it was about a 6 minute mile
• 39:57
  run with the transition on and off, the GHD 90 seconds ish.
• 40:02
  And then the seven Rd. climbs 90 seconds ish.
• 40:04
  So if you break that down, that's 1330.
• 40:07
  Not a whole lot of wiggle room at the end.
• 40:09
  So yeah, you you're going to have to be a good puller.
• 40:15
  And obviously you're going to have to have a lot of fitness to
• 40:17
  finish under the 15. But I kind of want, I want
• 40:21
  people having to run the last round really hard and do the
• 40:25
  GHDS fast and unbroken if they know they're going to get capped
• 40:29
  just to get back to the rope and get as much as they can get
• 40:31
  done. I mean, every, every legless
• 40:33
  rope climb, especially on the female side, could be lots of
• 40:35
  spots. So.
• 40:38
  And the GHD sit ups, you have another tape line again like
• 40:42
  last year. Yep, it'll be the same as last
• 40:45
  year. Not not quite bisecting it, but
• 40:48
  a little bit, a little bit, a little bit farther back than
• 40:53
  halfway. OK.
• 40:55
  Is there a reason you went with three rounds and not 4?
• 40:58
  Just wanted. To keep it lower.
• 41:00
  It's already a lot of pulling, Tyler.
• 41:02
  Well, it's more it's, it's more, it's more about that volume
• 41:07
  would not be necessary. I think 2 rounds would have not
• 41:11
  been enough. And I thought that those chunks
• 41:14
  were plenty dense to like they didn't need to do a set of 50 or
• 41:18
  60 GHD sit ups. But I also knew just time domain
• 41:21
  wise, you add another round and it's just the same time domain
• 41:25
  as that first. Workout 20.
• 41:26
  Two, yeah. And it and it's it's a slog.
• 41:28
  It's not there's not a lot of intensity.
• 41:30
  I think for the fittest people, this Rep scheme is going to keep
• 41:34
  it really, really intense. Those runs do not feel good
• 41:38
  because you know it's a race back to the GHD like for the
• 41:42
  people who are really trying to trying to qualify so.
• 41:46
  Yeah, and I think, I think we can see a lot of another finish
• 41:48
  like we saw at Mayhem last year with the the rope climb with
• 41:54
  between Austin and Colton, right?
• 41:57
  Yeah, if there, if there's a few people in a race and they're
• 42:00
  looking at each other, who, who goes up for their 4th legless a
• 42:04
  little earlier than they want to and then does it just become a
• 42:07
  grip thing for the ones with legs?
• 42:09
  It's not you really, you're pulling.
• 42:11
  It's just like dude, my, I'm just, I can't hang onto the rope
• 42:13
  anymore. 14 feet was really important though for me and
• 42:17
  Wilson to put on there. I think for the longest time the
• 42:19
  regionals rig has been thought of as a 15 foot climb.
• 42:22
  And I think it if you're getting that regionals kit, we know it's
• 42:26
  a little closer to 14, which is important 'cause in testing if
• 42:29
  you did this with a 15 foot rope it would definitely feel a lot
• 42:32
  harder. So yeah.
• 42:35
  That's Friday onto Saturday. I've got some deadlifts, 355 LB
• 42:42
  deadlifts, 255 for the women and then front rack lunges 13595.
• 42:50
  Lots of deadlifts this year and this one is the.
• 42:52
  Heaviest I've seen so far, yeah, it was, you know, set a little
• 42:57
  bit in jest, but when the open happened and then when the when
• 43:02
  the quarterfinals happened. I was like, hey, they're going
• 43:10
  to, they're going to be, they're going to be ready for the
• 43:13
  deadlift workout. Maybe like there's there's a lot
• 43:16
  of death. So yeah, I don't know it.
• 43:21
  I feel like a heavy deadlift in a workout they did at the Games
• 43:24
  last year with the axle bar, it's just kind of gone to the
• 43:28
  wayside. Like in the early, early years
• 43:31
  at this stage, you would see heavy deadlifts all the time and
• 43:34
  they just kind of went away in lieu of snatching and cleaning
• 43:37
  or cleaning jerk, you would just usually see Olympic lifts.
• 43:40
  And of course, last year everyone, a lot of people did
• 43:42
  the heavy Isabel. And truthfully though, this
• 43:46
  workout is 100% based off of the llama at Crucible because that
• 43:53
  ascending deadlift with the just really, really targeted Ford
• 43:57
  sled drag with your glutes is like, how do I get that same
• 44:01
  stimulus at a semi final without a turf or a sled?
• 44:05
  And like doing these two barbell.
• 44:08
  This workout was originally sandbag squat on the shoulder,
• 44:15
  sandbag lunge. You're just holding it for like
• 44:17
  5 or 6 straight minutes and I can't remember why, but one day
• 44:22
  like me and Wilson were talking and I was like, what if you had
• 44:24
  like a short bar for lunges and a deadlift bar and it was just a
• 44:27
  double weightlifting couple? It's kind of cool.
• 44:29
  It's not really done very often. The front rack lunge isn't seen
• 44:32
  very often. Usually we see dumbbells or we
• 44:34
  see like an overhead lunge. So I think it's great.
• 44:38
  This might be my favorite workout because it's a sleeper
• 44:41
  for like how exciting it's going to be.
• 44:43
  The ascending Rep scheme really, really, really separates people.
• 44:47
  And I knew that with this loading, it's heavy for sure,
• 44:51
  but it's more about it being 45 reps and being ascending.
• 44:54
  If it was descending, it would be more of a OK, I have to hold
• 44:58
  on. But if this load, if you're that
• 45:01
  guy or you're that girl, you know you're going to try to hold
• 45:04
  on for the 12 or the 15. But most people know they are
• 45:06
  not that person and they're like, hey, how do I get through
• 45:10
  these 15 and 12 with quick brakes knowing that I still need
• 45:15
  to be able to lunge fast because 250 feet of lunging and it is
• 45:19
  going to be 50 foot shot. So it's a 60 foot grid.
• 45:22
  They're going to have their deadlift barbell and then
• 45:24
  they're going to have their front rack lunge barbell right
• 45:27
  in front of it. They'll be 25 foot minimums
• 45:30
  unbroken, but you can go 50 run back to the bar next round.
• 45:34
  So on the odd rounds you're lunging toward the chess piece
• 45:37
  finish line and on the even rounds you're lunging back to
• 45:40
  your deadlift bar. So I think like there's the
• 45:44
  lunge is also going to be an opportunity for people to step
• 45:48
  through and not gather, step at the top and take a breath and
• 45:52
  you're going to see some changes there just as much as you are on
• 45:54
  the deadlift. Dude, I think, I think this is
• 45:58
  going to be. You can't be a caricature of
• 46:01
  yourself. We're not going to hear from
• 46:03
  this guy until this event and then Patrick Velner is going to
• 46:07
  have like a, a nice like event to to go home on.
• 46:15
  I think he's going out to California, but I think Travis
• 46:17
  Mayer could give us that same experience.
• 46:19
  He's a really, really good deadlifter.
• 46:21
  Velner changed. He's on the list.
• 46:24
  Yeah, I think he's going to North Cal.
• 46:26
  OK, well you need to be. Taken on his list.
• 46:27
  That's until he saw these workouts.
• 46:29
  Maybe he'll change his mind. Yeah, I like this one.
• 46:34
  Like you said, it's going to sneak up on you, but like,
• 46:36
  you're going to have to do 3 full rounds before you can get
• 46:38
  halfway to the deadlifts. Like you, you're like, oh man, I
• 46:42
  got three of these things down. Wait, I'm not even halfway done.
• 46:45
  Dude, I think grip because the front rack lunge you're you're
• 46:50
  you don't think you're getting any risk.
• 46:52
  Tyler would. Be but.
• 46:56
  Yeah, the feedback from the testers was just.
• 46:59
  It just really hurts from the start to the finish and.
• 47:02
  I do think your legs would get like a llama feel.
• 47:05
  Yeah, this is like, we'll see it in the rest of the programming,
• 47:07
  but Wilson probably wants to just like, ignore all my
• 47:13
  messages. But when we were when I was
• 47:16
  still messing with them and tinkering them a little bit, I
• 47:18
  was just like, God, do we need a third squatting workout?
• 47:20
  Like, do we need more squats? Do we need more squats?
• 47:23
  And then finally, I was like, this workout is, you know, awful
• 47:27
  posterior leg workout. Like, this is just a leg
• 47:31
  workout. There's plenty of legs.
• 47:34
  And I'm glad that he kind of kept pushing back on me and be
• 47:36
  like, dude, with the lunges and the deadlifts.
• 47:39
  And we had it tested. Everyone said all day Sunday
• 47:43
  that's all they could talk about.
• 47:44
  It's just like, my butt is just so sore.
• 47:46
  So yeah, up to this point, I mean, it's really, really good
• 47:50
  from just from a programming analysis standpoint to look at
• 47:53
  what we've done for the first half of the competition, lots of
• 47:57
  squatting, lots of midline, upper body pulling and now
• 48:03
  posterior leg. We haven't really done any
• 48:07
  shoulders. We did some burpees because now
• 48:10
  the because because now the back half of the competition where
• 48:13
  this front half was more midline and leg focused.
• 48:17
  Now we're going to get now we're going to get the shoulders for
• 48:20
  like the last three. So that's that's definitely on
• 48:23
  purpose and that's not the way I programmed syndicate last year.
• 48:26
  I was kind of moving around every event.
• 48:28
  All right, let's hit the shoulders.
• 48:29
  OK, let's hit the legs. OK, let's hit the core.
• 48:31
  OK, let's come back and hit the shoulders again.
• 48:33
  This one is a little bit more redundant just as the weekend
• 48:36
  goes on, but. I also feel like the midline in
• 48:41
  the legs getting just thrashed in the first 3 is going to carry
• 48:45
  over to some of the events down the road too.
• 48:48
  Yeah, I think like this next one thing, maybe Saturday is my
• 48:51
  favorite day just because the tests are so incredibly
• 48:54
  different with like kind of where they're attacking you.
• 48:57
  This one is still a heavy test. And the next one, the
• 49:01
  weightlifting is super light for a ton of reps and it's mostly
• 49:04
  gymnastics, so we can get into it, but.
• 49:07
  Yeah, semi final date. Semifinal Nate actually said
• 49:10
  this on a shut up and scribble show that, you know, Peter, we
• 49:14
  got that content out today, which is pretty cool.
• 49:17
  Yeah. I mean, ever since the 4712 was
• 49:19
  programmed, I mean, it's such a memorable workout because of the
• 49:23
  strict muscle ups and very few people finished, especially on
• 49:28
  the female side. But I knew that if I just kept
• 49:32
  this Rep scheme and there's enough sevens, there's there's
• 49:35
  one on the second workout and then there's a 7 to finish the
• 49:38
  competition. I was like, we can't use 7
• 49:40
  again. And +44812 is just easier to
• 49:42
  remember. 40 muscle UPS, 80 strict hands and push ups and
• 49:46
  120 light overhead snatches. Like that is is very clear what
• 49:53
  we're testing, right? This is the pressing stamina
• 49:55
  test for sure. And something good to know for
• 49:58
  the competitors that may be listening, you can use your
• 50:01
  grips. You can use your grips the whole
• 50:03
  time. So you can use your grips on the
• 50:04
  light snatch as I want people that think they can go unbroken
• 50:08
  the whole time to go unbroken. I don't want you to not go
• 50:11
  unbroken because you think you're going to rip your hands.
• 50:13
  So that'll be in the standards. But these light snatches, if you
• 50:18
  add them up, they equal the same single arm snatch weight from
• 50:22
  regional Nate, which is cool. But yeah, I mean it, even with
• 50:27
  kipping, this is just going to make it more fun to watch to me,
• 50:30
  a lot more fun. It's going to be all right.
• 50:33
  I'm going to try to hold on for as long as I can.
• 50:35
  I'm going to run the transitions from the kettle bells back to
• 50:38
  the rings. Who wants to kick up onto the
• 50:40
  wall first? I think ultimately is going to
• 50:42
  be the separator for most males and females.
• 50:45
  It's going to be who has the best pressing stamina and who
• 50:49
  doesn't have to shake out a lot after the four ring muscle UPS
• 50:52
  every time because it is going to.
• 50:53
  It is going to catch up a lot in the last few rounds even for the
• 50:56
  best people. I think they're all going to
• 50:58
  burn the house down and it's going to blow up.
• 51:02
  It's. Going to, I think they'll, I
• 51:03
  think with, I think they'll, I think they'll test it a lot and
• 51:05
  they'll know how much harder it is.
• 51:07
  Yeah, I think so. I bet the men go out a lot
• 51:10
  harder than the women do. I agree.
• 51:12
  I think there's probably more levels on the female side.
• 51:15
  Like if I look at the field and I look for the best gymnast, I
• 51:19
  think comparatively the best gymnast and the worst gymnast,
• 51:21
  there's way more of a spread versus on the male side.
• 51:26
  But at the very top, I mean, those guys are like, I'm running
• 51:31
  to the kettle bells, I'm running back to the rings the whole
• 51:34
  time. I think it's going to be a lot
• 51:35
  more fun to watch and easier to watch than people think.
• 51:39
  Just with the progression of moving the kettle bells every
• 51:41
  time you're it's going to be clear who's in the lead.
• 51:44
  But the first five rounds, to John's point, everyone's going
• 51:46
  to think I'm in it, I'm in it, I'm in it, and then the last
• 51:48
  five rounds are not. Yeah, there's, there's a lot of
• 51:52
  rounds, a lot of transitions. I imagine the kettle bells are
• 51:56
  moving down the floor so those transitions will get longer when
• 51:59
  you want more rest. And people don't, people
• 52:02
  underestimate like the running involved and that like if you
• 52:05
  want to push the pace, it's like a 4050 foot run 10, like 10
• 52:12
  times over. Like that matters in times of if
• 52:15
  you're going to finish within seconds of people.
• 52:18
  And so I really, as far as workout placement goes, this one
• 52:22
  was really important for me to get in before they really did
• 52:27
  any meaningful pressing or anything overhead because I
• 52:30
  didn't want something on Friday or even earlier on Saturday to
• 52:35
  affect this because I think the intensity needs to be there.
• 52:38
  They don't need to be doing this on Sunday when they're just
• 52:40
  thrashed, you know what I mean? So you could you could argue
• 52:45
  that this is this is like more of a pressing strength workout
• 52:50
  because of the strict nature of the handstand push up, kind of
• 52:53
  like the deadlift is that, you know, powerlifting brute
• 52:57
  strength type stuff. So.
• 53:00
  This will be a fun one, Tyler. Yeah.
• 53:05
  No worries. I think it would, it'd be
• 53:11
  interesting to watch between you and I, there'd be some round
• 53:13
  where we just hard separate and, I don't know, go to.
• 53:17
  I think you'll come out hotter than me and then blow up and
• 53:20
  then I'll go back. There probably that is, I think.
• 53:23
  That's what will happen. I'm just going to let you go.
• 53:25
  I. Think also to on this workout.
• 53:30
  It's good to know this came from going back and just watching
• 53:36
  regional Nate. But back then you were allowed
• 53:38
  to pull the first snatch from the floor.
• 53:40
  You didn't have to establish the hang.
• 53:41
  I was like, oh, that's smart. That way you don't get any
• 53:43
  stupid no reps if you're racing late this year at quarter
• 53:46
  finals, it was awesome that on the dumbbell hang squat clean,
• 53:49
  they said, Yep, just pull the first one from the floor.
• 53:51
  I was like, oh, this is awesome. We can just continue this
• 53:53
  thought process. So when you get to the kettle
• 53:56
  bells, you can RIP that first one and then just stay at the
• 53:58
  hang, which I think is great because it it doesn't no one
• 54:01
  gets any. Oh, I forgot or well, the judge
• 54:04
  said I didn't open up my hips to start like they're super light.
• 54:07
  Just pull it from the floor and then just start cycling it so.
• 54:11
  I'm not sure it'll still feel super light when you're over 100
• 54:15
  snatches in, but. They're they're light for sure.
• 54:17
  I mean, it's just the. Part We'll feel numb.
• 54:20
  That's the part of this workout that would get me is the
• 54:23
  kettlebell snatches. Yeah.
• 54:25
  It it. It makes, well, I was going to
• 54:27
  say Tyler, that that's a good point.
• 54:29
  It, it makes what's coming after it harder every single round,
• 54:33
  right, 'cause you get you get a grip kind of a grip pulling
• 54:36
  element and then you get the press out element.
• 54:38
  But really, it's the one movement in the in the workout
• 54:41
  that gets your heart rate jacked up every single round, which is
• 54:44
  which is good, yeah. That's Saturday going into
• 54:49
  Sunday, 2 fast ones. That's where we bring in the
• 54:54
  wheelbarrow. A little bit of intervals there,
• 54:56
  100 foot handstand walk, 200 foot wheelbarrow push and pull,
• 55:01
  100 double unders, rest and then a different order rest and then
• 55:05
  you finish with the wheelbarrow double unders and then the
• 55:08
  handstand walk. Yeah, this name was really cool.
• 55:13
  I mean, a lot of people, you know, we, we trolled a little
• 55:16
  bit with the triple unders. Obviously there's different ways
• 55:20
  you can trip. You could trip on a box, you
• 55:22
  could trip going over a handstand obstacle, you could.
• 55:25
  But I think for most people, they see it and they think
• 55:27
  double under the workout has a lot of levels to it.
• 55:33
  It was the most exciting one to watch and testing by far.
• 55:37
  Like heart rate through the roof the whole time.
• 55:40
  It's super fast, you're not fatigued on the handstand walk
• 55:46
  until that last round, and honestly it's the people that
• 55:49
  can go unbroken without any trips on the double unders that
• 55:53
  have the best chance of getting the best times.
• 55:56
  The handstand walk speed will separate, but I can tell you
• 55:58
  that for the nail testers, one of them can run on his hands.
• 56:02
  One of them is not nearly as fast, but he's still very good.
• 56:06
  The one that didn't have any trips on the jump rope ended up
• 56:09
  winning by a second in the end. It was like, I don't know, six O
• 56:13
  4 or something. They were doing like 2 minute
• 56:15
  rounds. They were flying and it was like
• 56:17
  it, it was like 6 O 4 and I don't know, six O 5, but one of
• 56:22
  the guys tripped in every round. He had a trip and I'm telling
• 56:26
  you, it's just like the anxiety level of this event is so cool
• 56:30
  because it's every second count style.
• 56:33
  So whereas normally you would start an interval on the clock
• 56:36
  for everybody at the same time, if John finishes his double
• 56:40
  unders 5 seconds before Tyler, he starts his 2nd interval 5
• 56:43
  seconds before Tyler. So that anxiety of I'm already
• 56:47
  behind, I'm already behind, I'm already behind.
• 56:49
  That will get the. The execution element in this
• 56:52
  event is really really unique because you feel how behind you
• 56:58
  are or how ahead you are pretty much the whole time.
• 57:02
  So yeah, yeah, especially that that second round with double
• 57:04
  unders, you just finished 100. Say you messed up once, now
• 57:07
  you're behind, you're rushing, and now you're like, if I could
• 57:10
  just go a little bit faster, maybe I can make up a few of
• 57:12
  those because I can't make it up anywhere.
• 57:15
  You have to be smart enough to know not to do that, because
• 57:18
  that's where you make it up. And and the wheelbarrow, the
• 57:21
  wheelbarrow is like that looks super beefy down there on the
• 57:24
  weight. But if you know anything about
• 57:27
  something still being in contact with the floor, you're not
• 57:29
  lifting it all the way off the ground, right?
• 57:30
  You're just lifting it up to be able to walk with it.
• 57:34
  This was kind of inspired just by that handstand walk farmer
• 57:36
  carry combo. And really that comes from like
• 57:40
  handstand push up. It comes from Diane, right?
• 57:42
  It comes from that deadlift handstand complimentary movement
• 57:45
  pattern. The wheelbarrow feels like a
• 57:50
  farmer carry when you push it, but when you turn around and
• 57:53
  pull it like kind of like the plow that you're at the games
• 57:56
  when they did the back-to-back to back and it's behind you and
• 58:00
  most people are going to be switching their grip and doing
• 58:03
  this underhand. It.
• 58:04
  It is just very unique with what it does to your upper back and
• 58:08
  what it does to your shoulders. It just doesn't feel at all like
• 58:13
  it felt on the way down. So they're going to go handstand
• 58:16
  walk 50 come back 50. They're going to go down 50 back
• 58:20
  50, down 50 back 50 and then jump.
• 58:23
  So all their stuff will kind of be down on the on the start mat
• 58:28
  side and I'm I'm super excited about this.
• 58:30
  The 11 minute cap is super generous.
• 58:34
  As we've seen on Friday and Saturday, the volume has been
• 58:37
  pretty high on several of the workouts.
• 58:40
  But this workout in an interval format, like I said, fast times,
• 58:45
  around 8 minutes, only 6 of that is work time.
• 58:48
  Like the volume isn't crazy here at all on anything.
• 58:52
  And then as we see in the finale, the volume is very low
• 58:54
  on the finale. So I try to be really mindful
• 58:57
  making the workouts hard, right, making them hard enough to
• 59:00
  separate people who are really kind of pretending to act the
• 59:04
  part of a games athlete. But then also like having it
• 59:07
  fast and having it more execution based on the last day
• 59:10
  was the move based on the 1st 4 events.
• 59:12
  If the first four events weren't that, I wouldn't feel, I
• 59:16
  wouldn't feel like I needed to make this last day a little bit
• 59:18
  more high stakes, high risk, high execution do.
• 59:22
  You think because of the unique fatigue that the wheelbarrow
• 59:25
  creates going pulling it that they'll go into the double
• 59:29
  unders of handstand walk and they'll be like wait a minute,
• 59:32
  like you'll have trips or resets because of that.
• 59:35
  Oh yeah. I mean, I, I think the
• 59:36
  confidence level of someone to drop the wheelbarrow and
• 59:40
  immediately kick up versus just take a quick shake out.
• 59:43
  I mean, that's the difference in, in 3 or 4 double unders
• 59:46
  right there. So yeah, I definitely think the
• 59:49
  luckily for testing the people that did it are were all so
• 59:52
  confident on their hands and to transition fast that it really
• 59:57
  gave us a good idea of like especially with the time cap, do
• 1:00:00
  we need to adjust it to make it? Shorter.
• 1:00:03
  Do we need to adjust to make it longer?
• 1:00:05
  Can you put Carolyn's question back up there?
• 1:00:06
  I think it was. It was a good question.
• 1:00:08
  Yeah. Will athletes be relying on the
• 1:00:09
  judges stopwatches for each interval?
• 1:00:11
  Do you think we could see any issues with that in close races?
• 1:00:14
  Yeah, it's a great question. I think this workout, the Boz
• 1:00:19
  gave a ton of feedback on as far as what our plan was with the
• 1:00:23
  possible scenario of people starting too early or a judge
• 1:00:27
  missing a time and starting late.
• 1:00:30
  And the judging team, the scoring team, the appeals team.
• 1:00:33
  I think we spent the most time on this workout internally
• 1:00:36
  trying to just make sure we got it right.
• 1:00:38
  And what we're going to do is every lane is going to have two
• 1:00:42
  judges. 1 judge is only responsible for counting double
• 1:00:46
  unders and then getting the start and stop time when they
• 1:00:49
  run and touch the chess piece and making sure that's accurate
• 1:00:52
  with the main judge who's judging everything.
• 1:00:55
  They're counting double unders, they're making sure the
• 1:00:57
  standards on the wheelbarrow are being upheld, and they're making
• 1:00:59
  sure the handstand wallet standards are being upheld.
• 1:01:02
  So we have reinforcements we have.
• 1:01:05
  It's a really good question 'cause I think a lot of people
• 1:01:07
  are like, this sounds cool, but it could be a mess if like you
• 1:01:10
  don't communicate well. The judging team is incredible
• 1:01:14
  and the communication with the athlete is going to be really
• 1:01:17
  good. Carolyn was at Crucible the year
• 1:01:20
  we did this format for the dumbbell standard, right?
• 1:01:23
  We did mandatory rest and 10:10 and in that same way, right,
• 1:01:28
  like you get done with your interval as you're walking back,
• 1:01:31
  your judge should be telling you, hey, you're going to go at
• 1:01:33
  three O 5. I'm going to tell you at 2:55.
• 1:01:37
  And then you get down on a knee 10 seconds and then hand goes in
• 1:01:41
  the air. And then we go and you have that
• 1:01:45
  second judge to to say, Yep, I got the double undercount.
• 1:01:48
  Yep, that's what time she starts.
• 1:01:50
  I think I'm really confident that we're going to execute this
• 1:01:52
  and it's going to be really fun for sure.
• 1:01:54
  And the athletes are going to have a chance to touch this
• 1:01:58
  after the athlete briefing, so don't miss the brief.
• 1:02:02
  Yeah, Thursday evening. And it's on Rogue's website.
• 1:02:05
  I mean anyone, anyone that has a dog sled 1.2 can go on and order
• 1:02:09
  the accessory kit and you're good to go.
• 1:02:14
  It would definitely be worth seeing what it feels like before
• 1:02:17
  that comes. How fast can Bill and Katie get
• 1:02:19
  it to you? Oh, I think if you ordered it
• 1:02:21
  like today or tomorrow, you would have it by the end of next
• 1:02:23
  weekend. So you'd have almost a full week
• 1:02:25
  with it before you had to leave. Yeah, and finally, perfect
• 1:02:31
  square 49 toes to bar 7 overhead squats two 55175 fast and
• 1:02:38
  probably will see some carnage on this one.
• 1:02:41
  Yeah, it's interesting. I would say short but not fast.
• 1:02:45
  And what I mean by that is this is not like a punch it workout.
• 1:02:50
  This is a short workout that is going to have a lot of
• 1:02:54
  separation and for the fastest people, it's going to be sub
• 1:02:56
  two. And I only think that because
• 1:02:59
  the two fastest testers were like 2:18 and 2:30 and both of
• 1:03:04
  them broke the toast to bar like into a few sets and they weren't
• 1:03:09
  super, super confident, right? Like if I see this workout and I
• 1:03:13
  think about Danielle Brandon, who has the best shoulder
• 1:03:15
  position in CrossFit and she's going to walk to the bar with
• 1:03:19
  pace clean and jerk grip overhead squat it maybe, maybe
• 1:03:24
  squat jerk the first one and just crank.
• 1:03:26
  Like I, I don't see any scenario where she's not under 2 minutes.
• 1:03:31
  Like even if she breaks up the toes to bar into three sets.
• 1:03:33
  I just think the level of confidence with this technical
• 1:03:37
  of a squat cannot be understated.
• 1:03:40
  It's the reason why I wanted to do this one.
• 1:03:42
  And then I built the deadlift around it because the deadlift
• 1:03:45
  to me with a barbell is like the antithesis of a heavy overhead
• 1:03:48
  squat. This is so technical and so
• 1:03:50
  positional that in a deadlift is just RIP it right and just stand
• 1:03:55
  off and that's all you gotta do. So thick and quick.
• 1:03:59
  Four thick rope climbs, 3 overhead squats AT245165.
• 1:04:04
  That was 12 years ago, which is crazy to think about.
• 1:04:08
  Last event of the CrossFit Games, No, before double graze.
• 1:04:12
  So last, last, last time on the floor 2016, they did a set of 10
• 1:04:19
  overhead squats AT225155 and then a set of five to finish
• 1:04:22
  that chipper. This is very appropriate.
• 1:04:26
  And I mean, let's talk about testing.
• 1:04:27
  Like I think I thought maybe I just wanted to use two 4564 and
• 1:04:32
  eight workout from regionals was pull ups and overhead squats at
• 1:04:35
  2:05. And I was like maybe 2:45 is
• 1:04:38
  right. And I bumped it up a little bit
• 1:04:40
  and was just like, when we get when we get it tested, we'll
• 1:04:43
  know. And three of them finished under
• 1:04:45
  4, two of them finished around 2:30 or under and then one
• 1:04:49
  didn't finish. So I was like, hey, this is
• 1:04:51
  perfect. Like I think what I said on one
• 1:04:55
  of the, I think what I said to Peter when he was there making
• 1:04:57
  content was if someone has to go unbroken to go to the CrossFit
• 1:05:02
  Games, I want them to be able to.
• 1:05:04
  And what I mean by that is if I went up in a digit and went 8
• 1:05:08
  and 64, no one is doing the 64 unbroken.
• 1:05:11
  Everyone is like, I can't even take a chance to do that.
• 1:05:14
  That would be stupid. But 50 or 49, there are people
• 1:05:19
  who are like, if I have to, I'm just going to have to try like I
• 1:05:23
  got to try to, I got to try to throw a haymaker.
• 1:05:25
  But I think the differences in like who can do 2 sets?
• 1:05:29
  Who can do three sets on the toaster bar?
• 1:05:32
  Who can get to the bar? Who has to get it to the back
• 1:05:34
  rack and then adjust their hands and then push jerk it and then
• 1:05:38
  overhead squat versus could. Does someone think they can try
• 1:05:43
  to snatch it? Maybe versus like I said with
• 1:05:46
  Danielle, who can have that narrow grip overhead squat where
• 1:05:49
  they can just get it locked and go like there's a lot of levels
• 1:05:52
  to a workout that's 2 to 4 minutes.
• 1:05:54
  And I think this workout for the fastest people is like a 2 is a
• 1:05:58
  sub two-minute test. But I think if you, if you want
• 1:06:01
  to go to the games, you have to finish it.
• 1:06:03
  I would be shocked if someone made the games that doesn't
• 1:06:05
  finish this workout. And for the for people, if you
• 1:06:10
  want to see the most efficient way, I think you watch watch
• 1:06:14
  Fraser in 2014 how he gets into the position for the overhead
• 1:06:18
  squat. I think it's the fastest with
• 1:06:20
  the least amount of failure efficiency wise.
• 1:06:26
  Rich gets there at the same speed, but freaking almost ruins
• 1:06:29
  the almost loses the games on it.
• 1:06:31
  And he said he ends up saving it.
• 1:06:32
  But the way Matt did it is the most efficient way.
• 1:06:36
  If you want to see like this is how you need to go.
• 1:06:38
  If you want to go the fastest to get into it, obviously a squat
• 1:06:42
  snatch is the fastest, but I don't think that's smart.
• 1:06:46
  I. Think it's a little too heavy
• 1:06:47
  for that. For for anybody.
• 1:06:48
  I don't think it's smart for anybody after 49 toast the bar.
• 1:06:51
  I just don't. After the whole weekend, I just
• 1:06:53
  don't. I don't think the shoulders are
• 1:06:54
  going to feel like you're confident enough to do that.
• 1:06:56
  So no. And like, even if you had like a
• 1:06:58
  340 snatch, I don't think it's smart.
• 1:07:02
  Were the people that tested it who were close to four or didn't
• 1:07:06
  finish? Was that failing or having to
• 1:07:09
  take extra time on the overhead squads?
• 1:07:14
  Yeah, just not being confident in that overhead position to
• 1:07:17
  where that I could get it there and keep it there for two or
• 1:07:20
  three, but not for seven. I, I do think the seven is a
• 1:07:23
  good number here too. If it was like 5, if it was 50
• 1:07:27
  and five. I, I think those last couple
• 1:07:30
  when people are starting to shake and they want to drop, but
• 1:07:33
  they're fighting and they're fighting and they're fighting.
• 1:07:35
  I think, I think 7 with this load is, is the right number,
• 1:07:39
  but the cap is if the cap is definitely aggressive here.
• 1:07:43
  And I kind of am in the camp that I, I don't really like
• 1:07:48
  people standing out on the floor by themselves, just failing over
• 1:07:51
  and over again, like on the last workout.
• 1:07:53
  If they just can't do the thing, if they just can't do it, I'd
• 1:07:57
  rather them just be like, all right, cool.
• 1:07:59
  Can we, can we hit this buzzer so that I can, you know?
• 1:08:02
  I think it's more than a generous cap for the people that
• 1:08:05
  can do it. Like if if you are able, you
• 1:08:09
  should be able to do it under the cap.
• 1:08:12
  What do you mean by able? Like if you can actually do 7
• 1:08:17
  overhead squats unbroken from the floor there is nothing and
• 1:08:21
  you're fit enough to make this competition, there is nothing
• 1:08:24
  stopping you from getting it under 4 minutes.
• 1:08:27
  Like like you, there shouldn't be a reason you don't get it
• 1:08:31
  under 4 minutes if you are physically capable of doing it.
• 1:08:35
  This is an interesting point. This workout is better than
• 1:08:39
  Gwen. Well, I want to see They want to
• 1:08:43
  see a similar thing though. I don't think you can say that
• 1:08:45
  until you see it play out and then you can make a judgment.
• 1:08:48
  Classic John answer. I, I just think it's interesting
• 1:08:53
  because you're, you're essentially, you're not
• 1:08:55
  mandating that they do it unbroken, but like kind of.
• 1:08:59
  If you want to go to the game, I don't, I don't think, I don't
• 1:09:02
  think anyone that fails an overhead squat.
• 1:09:06
  I think if you fail an overhead squat, it's going to be hard to
• 1:09:08
  finish period. And I think if you fail an
• 1:09:11
  overhead squat, you're probably not going to the Games.
• 1:09:15
  I and we have like a Briggs like moment where she's she she did
• 1:09:20
  it, she's going to go to the games and then she just can't
• 1:09:22
  freaking do the last, the last workout.
• 1:09:25
  Like then then, yeah, then it might be better than Gwen, but I
• 1:09:28
  I want to see that play out before I make that judgement
• 1:09:32
  call. Before Jr.
• 1:09:33
  Leaves Do you think it was a bad thing or a good thing that Sam,
• 1:09:38
  from a an athletic standpoint, not from a storytelling aspect,
• 1:09:42
  that Sam didn't make it back to the Games?
• 1:09:49
  He's trying to trap you Jr. and you know.
• 1:09:50
  It I'm not, I'm not. I know, I know what he's asking.
• 1:09:55
  Did the fittest make it? Yeah, that's what I'm saying is
• 1:09:58
  like, do I do I think she was the most one of the fittest
• 1:10:02
  people in the world that year? Absolutely.
• 1:10:04
  But the easy argument is, well, she didn't prove it.
• 1:10:07
  And you have to prove it just like did I do.
• 1:10:09
  I think Rich by all metrics was probably the fittest person in
• 1:10:13
  the world his first year. But because he couldn't climb a
• 1:10:16
  rope, he didn't end. Yeah, like, but I think like
• 1:10:20
  that's why you that's why you have to do the test.
• 1:10:22
  And I think that a situation like that handstand walk that
• 1:10:28
  year or like a really heavy barbell or strickering muscle
• 1:10:36
  UPS, I think that's like that's why you, that's why you run the
• 1:10:39
  test. And that's why you have to be
• 1:10:41
  prepared for anything, because you never know when you're going
• 1:10:44
  to have a hole that that gets exposed.
• 1:10:47
  You made a point, I can't remember what movement we were
• 1:10:51
  talking about, but it's like it did at that point, especially in
• 1:10:54
  2014. Yeah, she should have been able
• 1:10:58
  to do the hand scene walks. What movement were we talking
• 1:11:02
  about that were you? Oh, it's the it's the the the
• 1:11:07
  handstand walk obstacle. Like you're like at this point
• 1:11:09
  guys, you. Have to do this?
• 1:11:11
  Well, it what's crazy is that that AI obstacle debuted at this
• 1:11:17
  stage, not at the games. It was at this stage in 2018 and
• 1:11:22
  they had to go 2 passes to the Pistols and then two passes back
• 1:11:26
  to the muscle UPS. Like like it was really, it was
• 1:11:31
  really hard and they did the bench press before that.
• 1:11:35
  So, you know, like they're not feeling great in the shoulders
• 1:11:37
  anyway. But it was on the day before.
• 1:11:41
  But that was like kind of a thing where like you just
• 1:11:43
  expected it at the games in like 20-19 and then you didn't expect
• 1:11:47
  it in 2020 because it was at the ranch and then you expected it
• 1:11:49
  in 21. And like every year there was
• 1:11:51
  just a hands they walk obstacle course, but then they just
• 1:11:55
  stopped programming them all together.
• 1:11:57
  I don't know if it was a partnership thing or whatever.
• 1:11:59
  And so I was like, hey, I mean, this thing's been out since
• 1:12:02
  2018. Obviously I, I had them to use
• 1:12:05
  for Crucible, but I was like, I should probably just bring this
• 1:12:07
  back just to make sure that like people are at least still doing
• 1:12:10
  it. And what happened last year,
• 1:12:12
  like Reese and, and the Wells sisters and, and all those
• 1:12:19
  younger athlete and Ellie, Ellie Larson, Ellie Larson, Lydia
• 1:12:23
  Fish, they were race, they were making that workout an aerobic
• 1:12:26
  workout, which was like should have been very really, I think
• 1:12:34
  it speaks to that younger generation of those coaches were
• 1:12:37
  like, hey, they grew up on this thing always being something you
• 1:12:40
  just had to do. So just learn the skill and then
• 1:12:42
  you'll have it forever. And then I think it goes to show
• 1:12:46
  you most people target their training to what they think the
• 1:12:49
  test is going to be, not to what CrossFit preaches as far as
• 1:12:53
  being ready for anything, if that makes sense.
• 1:12:55
  Yes. Which do you think that is good
• 1:12:58
  or bad? I think it can be both, but I
• 1:13:02
  also think that the the the less good you are at the things that
• 1:13:08
  are most likely to show up, then the less time you should be
• 1:13:12
  spending on anything that's on the ends, on the ends of the
• 1:13:16
  spectrum. Yeah, so.
• 1:13:20
  You always talk about like the one workout that you that was
• 1:13:24
  kind of like your centerpiece and everything else was built
• 1:13:26
  off of it was that semi final Nate.
• 1:13:29
  No, the workout that I build everything off of isn't in this
• 1:13:31
  competition. No.
• 1:13:34
  So stay tuned. No, it just.
• 1:13:37
  Surprise. Event 7 No, it just.
• 1:13:40
  Trail Run makes an appearance. No, it's no, it's just the the
• 1:13:44
  the first workout that I had programmed after last year for
• 1:13:47
  this ended up just getting changed and like subbed out.
• 1:13:53
  So maybe one day it'll fit. But it was interesting that I
• 1:13:57
  knew. I really knew though, that I
• 1:13:59
  wanted to do the finale like that, like a 64 and eight type
• 1:14:04
  finale because I think really, really fast springy finales were
• 1:14:08
  always something we expected with all the thruster rope climb
• 1:14:11
  variations, with the muscle up into the clean ladder, which
• 1:14:14
  Taurine is doing, which is really cool on the snatch ladder
• 1:14:16
  this year. We just expected those, hey,
• 1:14:19
  stand up and it's going to be over in 2 minutes, but it's
• 1:14:22
  going to be so exciting. And then we went away from that
• 1:14:24
  to these slower burn type finales where you got to enjoy
• 1:14:28
  them a little bit longer. And it just like it kind of just
• 1:14:31
  goes with trends and Rich kind of brings back a Sprint finale,
• 1:14:34
  like a true Sprint finale this year, which was cool to see.
• 1:14:37
  And I just kind of knew that I I wanted to do something in that
• 1:14:41
  like 2 minutes sub two-minute range.
• 1:14:44
  And so that one I would say was like the most flagship and then
• 1:14:48
  the 50s chipper those two. So the first one and the last
• 1:14:51
  one and then everything else kind of got built around it.
• 1:14:54
  Magic City had a Sprint finale too.
• 1:14:57
  And what's what's funny is like, we weren't worried about it, but
• 1:15:02
  it's still so nerve wracking. Like if I mess up one thing and
• 1:15:07
  I'm blown like. Yeah, I don't think that like
• 1:15:10
  every, I don't think, I don't think more than a couple
• 1:15:13
  workouts. So 1/3 of the of the test and
• 1:15:16
  like a 6th event competition needs to just be, oh, this is
• 1:15:19
  just execution, whether it's a skill execution or whether it's
• 1:15:23
  just like, can I not get a no Rep and go fast execution?
• 1:15:27
  But I think a couple times like we need to race and then seconds
• 1:15:29
  need to matter. Like that needs to be part of
• 1:15:32
  the sport. So having a couple of those in
• 1:15:34
  there where like 1 little mistake can like punch your
• 1:15:39
  ticket or or not, I think it's good to have as long as they're
• 1:15:43
  just not all like that and they're not all oh, everything
• 1:15:47
  has so much separation because all the movements are so heavy
• 1:15:50
  or they're so difficult or whatever.
• 1:15:51
  So. To me I like that, but not when
• 1:15:54
  it's double unders. I hate the execution thing being
• 1:15:57
  double unders. So does Carolyn.
• 1:16:01
  No, I, I, I think it's, I think it's a reasonable.
• 1:16:04
  I I think it's, it's understandable to feel.
• 1:16:08
  Like and and tell me if she went to freaking California because I
• 1:16:14
  guess I don't know who's doing that now.
• 1:16:17
  This is going to be a Lydia Fish disappointment. 2 point O
• 1:16:22
  because if we remember at Crash, she was in second place or third
• 1:16:27
  place and then overhead squats at the very end got her.
• 1:16:31
  And this is all heavy overhead squats again.
• 1:16:33
  It's going to be sweet, sweet redemption or a Brent Fukowski
• 1:16:37
  like crushing defeat. I think that one, those are 18
• 1:16:44
  months apart. So I think that the amount of
• 1:16:47
  time in between to work on things which I know she has and
• 1:16:51
  she's obviously extremely fit right now all the competition
• 1:16:54
  she's done this year. I also think that that workout
• 1:16:59
  being legless into heavy regular overhead squat and then thick
• 1:17:03
  rope climb into thick bar overhead squat was a little bit
• 1:17:07
  more compounding than this workout.
• 1:17:09
  I don't know that toes to bar fatigue, Lydia's grip and she
• 1:17:14
  feels an overhead grip position like a rope climb.
• 1:17:17
  I don't know that, but I think that the the stimulus, the
• 1:17:22
  stimuli can be compared. I just think the length of the
• 1:17:25
  workout is a lot different. And I would be very surprised
• 1:17:28
  if, if, if that perceived weakness or or that exposed hole
• 1:17:34
  has not been filled, I would be really surprised.
• 1:17:36
  I hope, I hope, I hope so. I hope it has.
• 1:17:39
  That's just the first thing I thought of when I saw that
• 1:17:41
  workout. She doesn't, she doesn't have
• 1:17:43
  many of them and she's got beautiful overhead position,
• 1:17:46
  which is kind of which is what you need for a workout like this
• 1:17:48
  so that. Feels a little bit harder though
• 1:17:50
  than it was at Crash, whichever she was going against it, like I
• 1:17:54
  just it had it feels the same vibe and I know I feel like
• 1:18:00
  she's not she's going to be right in the thick of it of like
• 1:18:02
  she can go or she might not go right.
• 1:18:05
  It's all going to. Be I feel, I feel it was really
• 1:18:07
  good. Tensions are.
• 1:18:08
  Going to be do you know who's in that field off the top of your
• 1:18:11
  head? Kurt said.
• 1:18:13
  It was in that field, wasn't she?
• 1:18:14
  She was like 6th or something. Olivia Caroline Stanley B no,
• 1:18:21
  Reese wasn't bad, but that that that that year was loaded for
• 1:18:25
  the females actually was very similar to like a semi final
• 1:18:28
  sono feel. But yeah, that was geece.
• 1:18:30
  Just shows how old I'm getting. That feels like it was five
• 1:18:32
  years ago. Yeah.
• 1:18:35
  Dude but I'm just saying it would be so beautiful if ever if
• 1:18:38
  she punched her ticket with an event like that is all is all
• 1:18:42
  I'm saying. Oh, as like a as almost like a
• 1:18:45
  redemptive type thing. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:18:47
  Or heartbreaking. It could go one way or the
• 1:18:49
  other. I'm.
• 1:18:50
  Just tell me if I'm wrong but I feel like the the athletes
• 1:18:53
  looked almost slaughtered at the end of the that crash workout
• 1:18:57
  whereas with this one I don't think like they'll probably look
• 1:19:00
  fine going into the 223rd. The 175 overhead squad.
• 1:19:04
  Yeah, like they they do the strict handstand push ups and
• 1:19:07
  the kettlebell snatches, so they go load overhead.
• 1:19:10
  But then a lot of the overhead is gymnastics.
• 1:19:14
  And for someone like Lydia with that gymnastics background,
• 1:19:17
  someone like Danielle, someone like Alexis Raptis, like the,
• 1:19:21
  again, like Haley, like the ones who are better gymnasts, I think
• 1:19:28
  will feel a lot better when the barbell gets overhead than some
• 1:19:31
  of the ones that just don't have that good shoulder position and
• 1:19:35
  don't move more freely through the body weight movements, if
• 1:19:38
  that makes sense. He said double unders was the
• 1:19:41
  crux on that one workout and the wheelbarrow workout double the.
• 1:19:44
  Double, it's the most important to execute that than any of the
• 1:19:48
  other three versus like, oh, you got a penalty on the wheelbarrow
• 1:19:52
  because you didn't walk far enough and cross the line,
• 1:19:54
  That's a penalty. Or hey, you kicked up and your
• 1:19:56
  hand was on the tape line and you have to go back.
• 1:19:59
  Like those things will happen in this event too, but I think the
• 1:20:02
  double under speed. Is important, but I think more
• 1:20:06
  so the double under accuracy is important, the most important
• 1:20:09
  thing. And then at the very, very top,
• 1:20:11
  like, who wins the workout? It's probably going to come down
• 1:20:13
  to handstand walk speed, yeah. Haley might go to California.
• 1:20:20
  Nah, man, she's, I think she's locked into it.
• 1:20:22
  She actually talked to her today.
• 1:20:23
  She's she's one of the few people that has AD ball and she
• 1:20:26
  was already, she was already, you know.
• 1:20:27
  Does she got a jump rope? Because that's all she.
• 1:20:29
  Needs. I don't.
• 1:20:30
  She doesn't need to be ball day. I already she has a jump rope
• 1:20:32
  every. Freaking day for the rest of
• 1:20:34
  her. Life.
• 1:20:34
  No, she's not. I guess she's not even worried
• 1:20:36
  about it. She was ripped.
• 1:20:37
  There's no. Reason not to be good at
• 1:20:40
  freaking double unders by now. Gosh, it's a elementary skill.
• 1:20:46
  Good grief. She qualified for the Games
• 1:20:50
  doing 200 beaded right? Who Haley?
• 1:20:53
  No, Carolyn Caroline. Yeah, I know.
• 1:20:56
  She just, you know. Carolyn's just want to give her
• 1:20:58
  a hard time. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:21:00
  I mean, I don't, I don't, I don't count.
• 1:21:01
  I mean they get their own jump rope.
• 1:21:03
  It's one of the few I don't competitions anymore.
• 1:21:05
  Either Dallin's at the top of the mountain or I'm not giving
• 1:21:08
  Legends a lot of credit for testing fitness.
• 1:21:12
  No, I'm yeah again. I mean, it's like.
• 1:21:15
  No offense to. Carolyn's.
• 1:21:17
  Very good. She would have made it
• 1:21:18
  regardless, but. I'm really, I'm happy to get
• 1:21:21
  there, get on site, set everything up.
• 1:21:23
  I mean, trying to just talk into the workouts about, you know,
• 1:21:27
  with the internal people is, I mean, part of this whole thing
• 1:21:30
  is, you know, being able to do it, being so grateful to do it,
• 1:21:34
  but also to like, let's kind of like show and tell.
• 1:21:37
  That's what I tell people. It's kind of like getting to
• 1:21:39
  show people what you've been working on for so long and like
• 1:21:42
  either they like it or they don't.
• 1:21:44
  And that's kind of the the beauty of it being like a, an
• 1:21:47
  artistic expression is that some people hate it, some people will
• 1:21:49
  like it, some people will just say it's OK.
• 1:21:52
  The, the, the interesting thing about what you did is like in
• 1:21:57
  art, like you can just totally overdo it and you can make
• 1:21:59
  something that's so like you're like, oh man, everybody's going
• 1:22:02
  to love this, but you're, you're doing art for artists instead of
• 1:22:05
  art for the people who are looking at it.
• 1:22:07
  And so like the really like, you know, the, the key brush strokes
• 1:22:11
  that you put in that like kind of highlight the whole thing.
• 1:22:14
  They're like so nuanced and small.
• 1:22:16
  I just think it really is well. Then it goes to Jr. asked me
• 1:22:21
  like when when Sivan and Taylor were talking through what the
• 1:22:26
  burpee to Target was and Jr. asked me like, do you think
• 1:22:29
  there's many things that are you don't know based off of reading
• 1:22:34
  what the workouts were that were published?
• 1:22:37
  So I go back through it and honestly, like you would go
• 1:22:40
  through it and it's like, no, this is like just CrossFit.
• 1:22:43
  Like there aren't too many things that are like A twist to
• 1:22:46
  it or something that you would not expect, but just a couple
• 1:22:50
  things here and there and so. Like, yeah, I think that.
• 1:22:55
  Goes to your point, Tyler. Yeah, I mean it, it's really,
• 1:22:58
  people ask me about this kind of stuff all the time.
• 1:23:01
  Like are we going to see are we going to see the seated strict
• 1:23:05
  and that's going to be the Nate thing, or are we going to see
• 1:23:08
  like trying to introduce a new movement with new standards that
• 1:23:12
  people haven't performed in competition, that judges haven't
• 1:23:15
  judged in competitions is not something I'm interested in
• 1:23:20
  doing at this level. I think this is way more
• 1:23:22
  serious. Like I take this a lot more
• 1:23:24
  seriously than like to try to scratch a selfish creative itch.
• 1:23:28
  Like I can do that with affiliate programming.
• 1:23:30
  I can do that. I can do that at Crucible.
• 1:23:32
  I can, I can, I can like, hey, I wonder if you can do this and if
• 1:23:35
  it would work or if it just like if it flops, it flops.
• 1:23:39
  But like my judges are my members and they'll just be
• 1:23:42
  like, hey, I'll I'll do whatever you say.
• 1:23:44
  Like it's not, it's not sending people to CrossFit games.
• 1:23:48
  I think that's a really important distinction when it
• 1:23:50
  comes down to movements that you pick.
• 1:23:52
  Like when's the last time someone did AD ball squat clean?
• 1:23:55
  Like maybe never, maybe like five years ago, maybe six years
• 1:23:58
  ago. But it's not a crazy, it's not a
• 1:24:01
  crazy thing. It's just it's a ball instead of
• 1:24:04
  a barbell. Like it's, I think the little
• 1:24:08
  little insertions of maybe something with has a little bit
• 1:24:10
  more adaptation to it. Like the wheelbarrow is might be
• 1:24:15
  remembered, but it's not the star of that, it's.
• 1:24:18
  Not the crux. At all, it's the least important
• 1:24:21
  and that's kind of another reason why I wanted to use it.
• 1:24:24
  So I'm like, this is just something cool that people
• 1:24:27
  probably will never get to do in a competition of this magnitude.
• 1:24:32
  So, you know, luckily really likes Wilson because that's the
• 1:24:36
  only reason why that's the only reason why they say yes to a lot
• 1:24:39
  of stuff. He's, he's built a, he's built a
• 1:24:41
  really good relationship with them so.
• 1:24:42
  The wheelbarrow's a great example of that because it's
• 1:24:45
  like, I feel like programmers will find a thing that they're
• 1:24:48
  like, we have to fit this in and then they'll just brute force it
• 1:24:50
  in and it kind of like screws up the whole workout almost.
• 1:24:54
  Whereas this is just like it fits it.
• 1:24:56
  There's not a whole lot of ways to like you can't really mess up
• 1:24:59
  the the push and pull on that. And it's just like, and everyone
• 1:25:03
  like, there's no way I'll ever forget this workout.
• 1:25:05
  Ever. Well, there's a lot of things
• 1:25:07
  that go into it and I think when you get like me and Wilson
• 1:25:09
  together, it's it might just be not might.
• 1:25:12
  It's definitely paralysis by analysis.
• 1:25:14
  Brian can probably speak to that.
• 1:25:16
  But like each wheelbarrow is going to have 7 collars on it.
• 1:25:23
  It's going to have a collar on top of the plates so that if it
• 1:25:26
  tips over, which it's not that the plates can't fall off.
• 1:25:30
  It's going to have a collar on each side of the handles so that
• 1:25:34
  it can't be pushed in or pulled out.
• 1:25:37
  And then it's going to have a collar on each side of the high
• 1:25:40
  temp plate, which is the wheel, so that not only can it not come
• 1:25:43
  off somehow, but it can't move. So like we have like literally
• 1:25:48
  thought of the probably overkill, not probably, but we
• 1:25:52
  have thought of all the possible scenarios with an implement like
• 1:25:55
  that at speed 'cause it was used one year at Rogue, I think it
• 1:25:59
  was during a rock event. They just like they moved it
• 1:26:02
  down the field and then they left it and did like over unders
• 1:26:05
  and rope climbs and hill runs and they came back and dragged
• 1:26:07
  it back to the finish line. And it's such a cool like way
• 1:26:12
  that you can use that sled. Hopefully they get freaking 40
• 1:26:15
  people buying them bought by attachments.
• 1:26:18
  If I'm if I'm Ty Jenkins, I go and unclip all of Austin's
• 1:26:21
  collars right before the event and I just I just like clip clip
• 1:26:25
  clip clip 10 seconds go. That'll be my my Tyler bit is
• 1:26:31
  picking who who flips it on accident if you've.
• 1:26:35
  Seen it. It's really hard.
• 1:26:36
  You, you, you would, you could not, you could not flip it if
• 1:26:40
  you tried. It's crazy.
• 1:26:42
  It's like the way that it's built and the amount of weight
• 1:26:45
  that's going to be on it. Yeah, it doesn't come very far
• 1:26:49
  up. I mean, like it's like, it's not
• 1:26:51
  like it's this you. Know well it it comes up as tall
• 1:26:54
  and as long as your arms are, you know, right.
• 1:26:57
  Yeah. All right, Jr. appreciate it.
• 1:27:01
  Two weeks from now, I'll be there.
• 1:27:03
  I'm sure you'll be in Knoxville before that getting set up, but
• 1:27:07
  you'll be here sooner than later.
• 1:27:09
  But thanks for coming out. Thanks guys.
• 1:27:11
  Thanks. Thanks to thanks to Wilson
• 1:27:13
  especially for just giving, giving me another year to try to
• 1:27:16
  not mess up. That's that's great.
• 1:27:19
  Try to not mess up. You set the bar very high.
• 1:27:22
  OK. Yeah, that's enough.
• 1:27:23
  That's enough of that. All right.
• 1:27:24
  See you guys. You're the best.
• 1:27:25
  Great. Colton Mertens will be out at
• 1:27:42

• 1:28:08
  Sir, coming in late, but they are here.
• 1:28:10
  Sorry. Sorry about that.
• 1:28:11
  Sorry. I was in traffic.
• 1:28:14
  Yeah, you're in traffic and French John in the house.
• 1:28:19
  You got to croissant and some pics.
• 1:28:25
  Your voice is too deep for that. You gotta go up the back.
• 1:28:30
  But we were talking. You do look very French in this
• 1:28:33
  photo. Like beyond the outfit?
• 1:28:35
  Like super that's. What?
• 1:28:38
  That's what. The French guys, that's what the
• 1:28:40
  French guys look like, John. You also lost 50 lbs in this
• 1:28:43
  picture. It's better than the clavicular
• 1:28:47
  picture. I hate, I hated that.
• 1:28:51
  I hated that. Just just wait.
• 1:28:54
  You'll find out what syndicate Crown has in store for you.
• 1:28:57
  All right, the French, they're not looking at the roster.
• 1:29:05
  There's some at the top, there's, there's some pretty
• 1:29:09
  good talent there. I think it drops off maybe a
• 1:29:12
  little faster than we would hope for, but.
• 1:29:16
  There will be names that miss out.
• 1:29:19
  Yeah, and and because of that, you only went to the top ten.
• 1:29:22
  You were like, no, we're not going 11 to 20.
• 1:29:24
  You're just just top ten, which is all that matters cause only
• 1:29:27
  three men and three women will qualify for the CrossFit Games
• 1:29:30
  out of the French throw down this weekend.
• 1:29:33
  Let's take a look. And here it is on the women's
• 1:29:37
  side. Amy Kringle, Mir Hum von Rohr
• 1:29:40
  and Lucy Mcgonigal are the three that are going to take it.
• 1:29:43
  According to John. Jason Hopper is going to go
• 1:29:48
  steal a baguette and a GameSpot. Harry Lightfoot, Moritz Mortis
• 1:29:56
  Feebig is in 3rd and then everybody else can try it.
• 1:30:00
  Mad Fitness Festival in a couple weeks from now.
• 1:30:05
  Amy Kringle, Best in the field by far.
• 1:30:08
  No, I actually think the programming stacks up really
• 1:30:12
  well for me or him, but it's just hard to bet against Amy
• 1:30:18
  when I she kind of dominated the world fittest project field.
• 1:30:22
  Like she I didn't like and I don't feel a ton of credence to
• 1:30:28
  that. But like when you beat Laura
• 1:30:30
  Horwath, if anything had anything like, you know, you're
• 1:30:32
  probably pretty serious and it's just hard for me to pick against
• 1:30:35
  her. She's been consistently
• 1:30:37
  extremely good. But the the programming does
• 1:30:42
  stack up really well for Mirhim and I wouldn't be surprised if
• 1:30:45
  she gave her a run for it. But I, I, I just couldn't put, I
• 1:30:51
  couldn't put her ahead of Amy. Mirhim von Rohr obviously great
• 1:30:56
  at the open, good online 2nd place.
• 1:31:03
  Is it just the this nature of the field or is there anything
• 1:31:05
  that is not there that you feel good that boosts her chances to
• 1:31:10
  actually make it to the games? Like she's too high or too low.
• 1:31:16
  That she would be too high in your in your predictions.
• 1:31:19
  I mean, Claudia Gluck's been there.
• 1:31:20
  Lucy Mcgonigal. I mean Miriam did great at the
• 1:31:23
  games, but like has she shown enough to be projected second?
• 1:31:30
  Yeah, I mean, I think so she if we look at, I mean, if you look
• 1:31:34
  at the programming, there is a a running kind of rock row thing
• 1:31:40
  that I think Amy Kringle will destroy everybody yet.
• 1:31:42
  But but Miriam was like 7th in the run row run like she's going
• 1:31:47
  to be fine. And this is where she'll get
• 1:31:49
  ahead of people like Claudia Glock and Alicia Foliano and
• 1:31:53
  Lucy and Anganese. And then, and then there's a six
• 1:31:56
  Rep Max front squat. I think she's going to win that
• 1:31:59
  one. I think I give her 100 points on
• 1:32:01
  that one. And then what else is there
• 1:32:05
  there? There's there, there were like 5
• 1:32:08
  events that I thought, oh, the thrusters in the line facing
• 1:32:11
  burpees. I think she has 100 points on
• 1:32:12
  that one. So we already got 3 events out
• 1:32:15
  of six events. One of the events is a handstand
• 1:32:18
  walk. She's not bad at handstand
• 1:32:20
  walking. No, she's not going to be the
• 1:32:23
  Reese Littlewoods or Leah Sorens of the world in handstand
• 1:32:27
  walking, but she's not bad. So like middle of the pack
• 1:32:31
  there. There's just not a place where I
• 1:32:33
  think, oh, she's gonna get hurt a lot in this when this worked
• 1:32:37
  out and then the bar muscle up snatch Cal bike workout.
• 1:32:43
  Like I think she'll be one of the fastest snatch cycle order
• 1:32:46
  slash bar or bar muscles. I think bar muscles is probably
• 1:32:49
  better for her too. Than rings for sure.
• 1:32:53
  I don't see where Claudia Gluck has her home run.
• 1:32:57
  So there's not a gymnastics dense 30 ring muscle up workout
• 1:33:02
  where Claudia Gluck can win these workouts.
• 1:33:05
  And there are workouts she'll be good at but there will also be
• 1:33:08
  workouts that she's middle of the pack on.
• 1:33:10
  And I'm just honestly though like if Elisa Fuliano Mike could
• 1:33:17
  win the whole competition. I have her 5th.
• 1:33:19
  I have her 5th, but it's because of Wadapalooza.
• 1:33:22
  That wasn't that far from now. It was what, two months, two
• 1:33:27
  months ago? Yeah, one month ago.
• 1:33:29
  Month and a half ago. It was in March in.
• 1:33:32
  March 2 months ago. No, that's my point.
• 1:33:34
  She was hurt so like and like like couldn't do events hurt.
• 1:33:39
  And I only have her at fifth because I don't know what she
• 1:33:44
  like. She shows up the competitions
• 1:33:46
  not great, and then she shows up to competitions and kills it.
• 1:33:50
  Like she's very gonna be at the competition no matter what.
• 1:33:53
  And sometimes she's great and sometimes she's shouldn't be
• 1:33:56
  there because she's hurt. And like there were she didn't
• 1:34:00
  do half of water palooza. So I it's just hard to know what
• 1:34:07
  she's gonna bring. But the programming is great for
• 1:34:10
  Elisa Fuliano. Why?
• 1:34:13
  Why is this? Why is this?
• 1:34:15
  Why is that a thing? It's a thing with one person.
• 1:34:19
  Yeah, but why? That's something that that's
• 1:34:26
  that we love about you, John. I why that's bad to say.
• 1:34:29
  It's not bad to say, I'm just saying that one person hones in
• 1:34:33
  on this. I know you think those are the
• 1:34:34
  same people. You think this is a burner?
• 1:34:36
  That's the same. Burner.
• 1:34:37
  That's a crazy burner. I always thought of so Claudia,
• 1:34:44
  she'll come out of like nowhere sometimes and do really well,
• 1:34:48
  and the same with Elisa. Like they're the two people that
• 1:34:50
  I doubt all the time and they always pull it off.
• 1:34:52
  The difference is Elisa's better than Claudia.
• 1:34:54
  Oh, I'm listen, Elisa very well could win, could win the French
• 1:34:58
  Throwdown. Oh, the programming stacks up
• 1:35:01
  for her better than any of the other women.
• 1:35:04
  Yeah, Claudia needs more high skilled gymnastics.
• 1:35:08
  I correct and same for Reese, same for Reese.
• 1:35:11
  Like I, I just, there's too much stuff that goes against them for
• 1:35:16
  me to put them in there. I think Lucy will be very sneaky
• 1:35:20
  and just very like 4th place through the whole thing.
• 1:35:24
  Like for every event. I'm saying not, not.
• 1:35:26
  I don't think she'll win. An event Lucy could take second
• 1:35:29
  in the the front squat. It's been strong, yeah, but
• 1:35:33
  there'll be somebody that comes. Out there might be some other.
• 1:35:35
  Jennifer, mirror and mirror him. Monroor, that'll be your.
• 1:35:38
  One of those two, yeah. But what I'm saying is like Lucy
• 1:35:41
  will just not be bad at anything and end up in 3rd place.
• 1:35:44
  And if it is an event, what's the last event?
• 1:35:48
  The last event you can really, it's a shorter.
• 1:35:51
  Event right? It's the deadlifts and The
• 1:35:53
  Walking lunges. 21159 deadlifts, cleans, then shoulder to
• 1:35:57
  overhead. Lucy's a very good barbell
• 1:35:59
  cyclist. Like I just see if it's if she
• 1:36:02
  has to go for it versus Claudia Gluck.
• 1:36:05
  I'm gonna take Lucy in that battle.
• 1:36:07
  At least it's not the sumo deadlift type holes.
• 1:36:10
  I've never heard somebody say cyclist, barbell cyclist.
• 1:36:16
  They always say cycler. I'm sorry, I like the.
• 1:36:20
  Cyclist it's better. I like it.
• 1:36:22
  I. Like it so much?
• 1:36:23
  Better. Boy, you're just really honing
• 1:36:26
  in on my speech. Phillip.
• 1:36:31
  Phillip got me, got me going on this.
• 1:36:33
  That's my. Reasoning this is a good point
• 1:36:34
  from from PC man and has been dealing with some injuries well
• 1:36:40
  if. She's caughtler coaching
• 1:36:41
  herself. Then I'll dock her down another
• 1:36:43
  couple. Either way, she's not
• 1:36:45
  qualifying. Aubrey I just think the other
• 1:36:49
  girls are better than her. What just.
• 1:36:53
  Been being so morbid about it. Either way she sucks.
• 1:36:56
  So no, no, no. She's not qualifying.
• 1:36:58
  John had her 6th either. She's worse.
• 1:37:00
  It's still not going to qualify. Anyway, that's my reasoning.
• 1:37:03
  I just think Lucy, they're like she's not going to have any home
• 1:37:06
  runs, but she's not going to be bad at anything.
• 1:37:08
  She's going to be pretty good at all of it.
• 1:37:10
  She'll surprise in some places and she's not going to let you
• 1:37:13
  down in other places. So I I believe in that
• 1:37:16
  consistency. She's shown that throughout most
• 1:37:19
  of her the competitions we've seen her.
• 1:37:23
  If there were more dense gymnastics, I think Claudia
• 1:37:26
  could could make it. I think the programming's really
• 1:37:31
  good for me or him, and I think Amy Kringle is probably just the
• 1:37:34
  fittest person there. I would not be surprised if
• 1:37:38
  Elisa Fuliano, she is the one that I put her fifth because I
• 1:37:43
  have no idea what to expect from her and she was really hurt last
• 1:37:47
  time. If she's fully healthy, does she
• 1:37:48
  qualify? I might pick her to win if she's
• 1:37:52
  fully healthy, yeah. What if she's 80% healthy?
• 1:37:56
  Then I might pick her 5th. That's what that's what I'm
• 1:38:00
  making on. I honestly 90% fifth, 80% ninth.
• 1:38:05
  It's a possibility. That's that's what I'm making
• 1:38:07
  on, but she's the programming is very good for Elisa Foliano.
• 1:38:11
  I just don't know what to expect from her.
• 1:38:13
  So that's why I have her there. Just playing in my bit John,
• 1:38:15
  damn it. Reese Littlewood, eighth, look
• 1:38:19
  at that. Just going through Syndicate's
• 1:38:21
  programming. Would she have been better off
• 1:38:22
  staying in in Knoxville in the States or going to French?
• 1:38:28
  I think the deadlift workout would have crushed her.
• 1:38:33
  I think she would be phenomenal. But don't you think the six,
• 1:38:36
  don't you think the six Rep front squat would do the same
• 1:38:39
  thing with her at French? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:38:41
  I'm just, I'm just going one for one right now.
• 1:38:42
  I'm just I think the field is a little bit better at syndicate.
• 1:38:47
  But there's more. Just not not far off, not
• 1:38:49
  they're gymnastics. They're very close.
• 1:38:51
  I think she wins the running GHD workout straight up with the
• 1:38:55
  rope climbs. She won it at crash.
• 1:38:59
  So like first workout was the aerobic 1.
• 1:39:07
  The squats. I actually don't think she does
• 1:39:09
  well in that. I don't think she's like the
• 1:39:11
  greatest of the squats but she'll be mid pack and then.
• 1:39:16
  The running one she wins. The running one, yeah, we
• 1:39:18
  already said that one. The deadlift 1, I think she gets
• 1:39:21
  crushed. The Wheelbarrow 1.
• 1:39:25
  Well, Nate? Nate, she'll do very good, but I
• 1:39:28
  don't think she wins. I think she just does like 5th.
• 1:39:33
  Wheelbarrow won. She do.
• 1:39:34
  Good wheelbarrow won she might win the wheelbarrow won because
• 1:39:38
  it's about handstand walk speed. And then the last one I mean, I
• 1:39:41
  think she's in Lydia Fisher's camp.
• 1:39:43
  I just think the overhead squats could hurt hurt hurt her.
• 1:39:47
  I, I honestly think it's probably pretty equal for her at
• 1:39:52
  French and Syndicate. It's I don't know, she should
• 1:39:58
  have went to Africa or Asia. She like I, I think she would
• 1:40:02
  have made it. I think she would have made it.
• 1:40:03
  I I think she could beat Surya Miha Miha.
• 1:40:08
  I do. I really, really, really do.
• 1:40:11
  I I think French and syndicate both with the programming in the
• 1:40:14
  fields. The field I mean the French
• 1:40:16
  field is really good. Yeah, it's it's the women,
• 1:40:20
  especially the women are really good.
• 1:40:23
  I mean, that's The thing is you look, you look at you look at
• 1:40:25
  Europe, the both the French throne and Mad Fitness Festival,
• 1:40:28
  which is the same weekend to syndicate.
• 1:40:30
  The thing you have in Europe is they're two weeks apart.
• 1:40:34
  A lot of the athletes have done and signed up for both.
• 1:40:38
  So like you have a lot of the top athletes going to go to
• 1:40:42
  both. So it's not like you have them
• 1:40:45
  splitting up for Syndicate and Norcal where you're going to
• 1:40:49
  have the field split versus like both doing the same competition,
• 1:40:53
  right? And then legends you only with
• 1:40:55
  only two spots, you only had a handful of people that were
• 1:40:58
  going to go to that to that you would expect to have qualified,
• 1:41:02
  right? And then mayhem is just mayhem.
• 1:41:04
  So like Europe is in different situation in that I think Amy
• 1:41:08
  Kringle, Mirhem, Claudia, Elisa Mir, like all of them are I
• 1:41:15
  think are also signed up for Mad fitness festival.
• 1:41:18
  So you have a lot of the same people Gabby goes to mad.
• 1:41:23
  So I think from the standpoint of this like top five, the top
• 1:41:29
  ten, those would be like a chance to qualify for the games.
• 1:41:32
  Like it's pretty good with from what you might expect.
• 1:41:38
  So on the men's side, Hopper Lightfoot Feebig.
• 1:41:44
  Does Hopper win all six? No, he doesn't win them all.
• 1:41:47
  I don't think he wins the thruster line facing Burpee
• 1:41:51
  workout. OK.
• 1:41:56
  But how far? How far when you went through
• 1:42:01
  this, how far down did you have him in any any event?
• 1:42:04
  I mean, I think that'll be his worst event, I think.
• 1:42:08
  He'll take 6th. No, no, I don't think he'll take
• 1:42:15
  6. That's too much.
• 1:42:16
  I think he'll take like 4th, the six Rep front squat.
• 1:42:20
  There will be people that beat him in that.
• 1:42:23
  He'll be fine, but there will be people that beat him in that.
• 1:42:26
  Jason's a slow squatter for six. 6 is a lot.
• 1:42:29
  There will be people that beat him in the hand.
• 1:42:31
  San Juan, yeah. I mean, he's not going to win.
• 1:42:34
  Like I don't think. I think Dallin's Legends
• 1:42:37
  performance will be more dominant per SE than Hopper's at
• 1:42:46
  French Throwdown. But he'll win event 1 and it
• 1:42:50
  which is the run Rd. he probably should win event 2.
• 1:42:54
  So it'll look very dominant. And then event three I think
• 1:42:58
  he'll get top five. Event 4 is a chipper with Rd.
• 1:43:03
  climbs and bench press. He'll win that.
• 1:43:05
  So the first four events he's going to win 3, but then I don't
• 1:43:10
  think he wins the front, the front squats, I think there will
• 1:43:12
  be multiple people that beat him.
• 1:43:14
  I don't think he wins the handstand walk.
• 1:43:16
  I think multiple people will beat him.
• 1:43:18
  So and then event 6 is deadlifts and lunges and weightlifting
• 1:43:26
  chipper. Basically, that is a workout
• 1:43:30
  that I think Moritz Feebig could just send it and win like Hopper
• 1:43:34
  might win that one, but or Callum Clements, some just big
• 1:43:39
  guy that can just really hold on and things.
• 1:43:41
  The weight's not crazy heavy and and Jason will have it sewed up
• 1:43:46
  by then. So like he's not incentivized to
• 1:43:48
  go hard on it, but I think he'll win three of the six events and
• 1:43:53
  I'm. Going to put my money on Fabian
• 1:43:55
  Herman's to do well twice. Yeah, Fabian has home runs for
• 1:44:00
  sure, But yeah, but I don't think, and The thing is
• 1:44:05
  everybody else is going to do bad at something and he's not
• 1:44:10
  going to do bad at anything and then win 3 events.
• 1:44:13
  So he'll end up in first by a lot.
• 1:44:15
  I think he'd, I think it's very safe.
• 1:44:17
  I think it was a smart call. I definitely think he wins by
• 1:44:22
  more than if he did syndicate. I don't think it's a given he
• 1:44:28
  would win syndicate. 4H isn't going.
• 1:44:31
  Tom Kington is going. You can always wish, but that's
• 1:44:35
  not the case. It's going to happen.
• 1:44:37
  What is Tom Kingman good at other than?
• 1:44:42
  Everything. You've been hoping for this for
• 1:44:43
  two years. Dude, he's been, he's this close
• 1:44:46
  dude, he's almost qualified in three different ways.
• 1:44:49
  And he never has. He's the Tyler Christian Fellow
• 1:44:51
  of Europe. No, he isn't.
• 1:44:53
  He's the Tyler Christian Fellow of Europe.
• 1:44:54
  That is not your award. He basically just.
• 1:44:56
  Quits. He's basically just quits.
• 1:44:58
  We should call him Tom. Quick, Quinton.
• 1:45:02
  So what? We should call him Tom.
• 1:45:04
  I'm not against you. Tyler is making this happen.
• 1:45:07
  I actually. Like, no I'm not.
• 1:45:09
  If Tyler didn't root for him, he would might have a chance, but.
• 1:45:13
  Anything Tyler has never been good at picking successful
• 1:45:15
  people. It's not true.
• 1:45:19
  It is true, Tyler, you're, you're amazing.
• 1:45:21
  It I didn't give him the death kiss.
• 1:45:23
  You haven't say he's he's the Tyler Christopher.
• 1:45:25
  If I give you the Tyler Christopher Award, you're never
• 1:45:27
  going to the games. I know, but you haven't.
• 1:45:29
  You don't. And Jorge is the only one who
• 1:45:31
  has has made that not true because he cheated.
• 1:45:36
  He didn't cheat, Taylor did it for him.
• 1:45:40
  That's not. You can't blame Jorge.
• 1:45:42
  All right, we're going to go to some blind rankings.
• 1:45:48
  Yeah, Sublime rankings. Name that athlete.
• 1:45:51
  We are working on a little project.
• 1:45:54
  Might do some some interactions with some fans, try to beat John
• 1:45:59
  in the future. We're.
• 1:46:00
  Thinking like a stump, the Schwab kind of a deal.
• 1:46:03
  So if you think you know CrossFit and you want to go
• 1:46:06
  against me, we're going to make it possible and you could win
• 1:46:09
  money. And you could win money, that
• 1:46:11
  is, that is what we're working on.
• 1:46:12
  So more to come on that here soon.
• 1:46:14
  And while we we work on that, we're going to bring back some
• 1:46:18
  blind rankings. And so, yeah, it's this.
• 1:46:23
  This week's theme is Hollywood All.
• 1:46:29
  Right. Get blind.
• 1:46:30
  Get blind, Tyler. Hollywood, I can't.
• 1:46:31
  I don't have anything. He doesn't have anything.
• 1:46:33

• 1:47:05
  You look like a baby crowning. This is not going to work.
• 1:47:11
  Oh, you look so good, Tyler. I don't want to do this one.
• 1:47:14
  Blind. No.
• 1:47:15
  Tyler. No.
• 1:47:16

  Then you won't be able to hear me.
• 1:47:23
  Yeah, here we go. Or we're just going to do do the
• 1:47:26
  old school blind rankings. No, this is not fun at all.
• 1:47:30
  Yeah. John just play along.
• 1:47:33
  Just. I I hate this.
• 1:47:35
  That's a great oh man. All right, here we go.
• 1:47:40
  Here we go. Which CrossFit Games athlete
• 1:47:44
  could have a career in Hollywood at some point, whether it's now,
• 1:47:48
  later, etcetera. All right, here we go.
• 1:47:52
  First up, Miss Domit 1. Yeah. 1.
• 1:48:00
  Yeah, immediately one. Wow.
• 1:48:02
  Why? She's the prettiest.
• 1:48:04
  She's got the look. Yeah.
• 1:48:08
  She also has the attitude IA 100.
• 1:48:10
  Percent I agree. I agree that she has she likes
• 1:48:15
  Dragon Ball Z. She's a pretty girl that likes
• 1:48:18
  Dragon Ball Z. Dude, there's so many guys that
• 1:48:22
  like go head over heels for that.
• 1:48:24
  Like I, I, I agree with Tyler. All right, Miss Dolman, we've
• 1:48:28
  already solved who's the winner, but we'll find out if you guys
• 1:48:30
  made a mistake. Next up, Ricky.
• 1:48:35
  So it's the type. It's the type.
• 1:48:37
  Of Hollywood, no. No.
• 1:48:38
  So Danielle's going to show up in this list, right?
• 1:48:41
  Yeah, Danielle would be fine. She's.
• 1:48:43
  She's MTV Hollywood though. Yeah, for sure.
• 1:48:46
  For sure. Delma is is like.
• 1:48:48
  Margot Robbie type Hollywood. Yeah, she's that type of
• 1:48:51
  Hollywood. Ricky.
• 1:48:52
  He's in Hollywood, but he's doing no.
• 1:48:55
  Ricky's in Spartacus, but in the background.
• 1:48:58
  Ricky is one of the guys in the 300 whose ABS are great, but he
• 1:49:03
  never talks. Oh, he's a great standing.
• 1:49:08
  Yeah, you're right. Dude, he Ricky's A5 man, he
• 1:49:10
  just. I want to give him a four.
• 1:49:12
  There's somebody where? He talks.
• 1:49:14
  You wouldn't understand what he was saying.
• 1:49:16
  Like he's, you've got to be. Able to play, that's the perfect
• 1:49:18
  role for one of those. Who was the bigger he?
• 1:49:21
  He was on podcast podcast from time to time.
• 1:49:25
  He was a bigger, bigger guy, a Hollywood star and he was a
• 1:49:28
  Crossfitter. Somebody will CrossFit will know
• 1:49:31
  this. I cannot remember his name, but
• 1:49:37
  he always played the bad guy and Ricky would be a great bad guy.
• 1:49:41
  Doesn't have a speaking part, is just like like an evil dude.
• 1:49:48
  Where we putting Ricky? I will see it on 4 but I get the
• 1:49:52
  next one. All right, fine.
• 1:49:54
  All right. Next up, Howard Lightfoot.
• 1:50:00
  Oh dude, I mean Peaky Blinders you already has a role.
• 1:50:04
  You can't use Peaky 8. I think 3.
• 1:50:11
  Tate. I think, I think 3 for Harry.
• 1:50:14
  Harry's got a personality like a like a really good one.
• 1:50:18
  He's really likable. But he's going to be in like.
• 1:50:21
  Green St. Hooligans like, like there's so
• 1:50:25
  many. British.
• 1:50:25
  He's only in British movies. OK, he's British, dude, you got
• 1:50:29
  to hold that against him. What is that British like?
• 1:50:31
  Ricky's Australian and can't talk and we put him in.
• 1:50:35
  Four, yeah, but you can put him in some other movies.
• 1:50:37
  Harry is like, he is English, he's London, he's that's it.
• 1:50:43
  He's getting tight cast. He's never escaping it.
• 1:50:46
  Benedict Cumberbatch, man. Yeah, but Benedict Cumberbatch
• 1:50:50
  can play all kinds of people. Harry can play 1 character.
• 1:50:54
  Listen, I think Harry could have an American accent.
• 1:50:58
  He could do. He could do Boston.
• 1:50:59
  You're right. He could dude.
• 1:51:02
  He could. He could be dude.
• 1:51:04
  He could. He could be in the town.
• 1:51:06
  He could be in any Ben Affleck Matt Damon movie 100.
• 1:51:09
  Percent Peter get him to say fame famous movie lines just but
• 1:51:14
  non non-english ones. You know that Pedro is going to
• 1:51:17
  be doing the commentary for French Throwdown on the English
• 1:51:20
  side. So, so TuneIn, tune into that.
• 1:51:23
  That'll be interesting. I want to go 5 but John gets the
• 1:51:26
  pick. I want to go.
• 1:51:27
  I want to go 3. Three, that's a better.
• 1:51:30
  Five, it also gives us crazy. It gives us more versatility.
• 1:51:33
  He's not better than Ricky, I'm sorry.
• 1:51:36
  Dude, you just like Ricky. I think Ricky would be a
• 1:51:39
  terrible actor. You got to memorize lines.
• 1:51:41
  I said he doesn't get any lines. He's just mean.
• 1:51:44
  He's a villain. All right, two or five is left.
• 1:51:50
  Mr. Hopper, I. Think Hopper would be great?
• 1:51:52
  He's basically Homelander. Hopper would be a terrible movie
• 1:51:58
  star. No, he wouldn't.
• 1:51:59
  What are you talking about? He gets to do like Chris Pratt
• 1:52:02
  before Chris Pratt got attractive.
• 1:52:04
  Oh, no, no, no, I don't see that for Jason.
• 1:52:07
  I see Jason as being a bad guy. It's only football movies.
• 1:52:14
  You just think that because he's a football, he's because he's a
• 1:52:16
  football guy. I see Jason as being like, like
• 1:52:20
  the boyfriend that is the bad guy that steals your girl.
• 1:52:25
  Is it? You see what I'm saying?
• 1:52:26
  Like a movie like that where like you're trying to no, no,
• 1:52:29
  no, no, no. That is not necessarily a
• 1:52:31
  football movie. Do you understand what I'm
• 1:52:34
  saying? Yes, I know what you mean.
• 1:52:36
  He's a he's a college douche or a high school douche.
• 1:52:39
  Well, yeah, dude, he plays that role perfectly and, and maybe
• 1:52:44
  he's not a douche, he's just misunderstood.
• 1:52:49
  Give him 2. I I just think that that there's
• 1:52:52
  no way Jason is a worse actor than Ricky Garrard.
• 1:52:56
  I did not expect Topper to be #2 on this list.
• 1:52:58
  But me either the. Next one's going to be Danielle
• 1:53:00
  Brandon. We'll be screwed.
• 1:53:02
  No. All right, fine.
• 1:53:03
  Put him, put him in. Five.
• 1:53:04
  Put him in five. You want him in five.
• 1:53:06
  Just put him in five. I I I I don't.
• 1:53:09
  I do think Danielle Brandon is parental control in a parent in
• 1:53:13
  a person the the show parental control.
• 1:53:19
  I can't. I know it's ringing a bell, but
• 1:53:22
  I can't. Remember it the MTV show I.
• 1:53:27
  Don't know. Anyway, you're putting this
• 1:53:29
  person at #2 between Domin and Lightfoot, Alex, because.
• 1:53:37
  She's indie movie famous. Yeah, listen, Alex would be
• 1:53:40
  really good, but it's a very specific genre.
• 1:53:46
  Like, you know that movie? You know that movie Into the
• 1:53:49
  Wild? Into the wild.
• 1:53:51
  What? What?
• 1:53:52
  What happens? Where he goes with the boys?
• 1:53:53
  No, no, no, no, no. He goes to Alaska.
• 1:53:56
  He like, burns all his credit cards.
• 1:53:58
  This guy goes. To Alaska.
• 1:53:59
  And then I mean it's a based on a true story and lives his life
• 1:54:04
  like just and then he ends up. In the woods.
• 1:54:06
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Alex would be good in Juneau.
• 1:54:11
  What is that supposed to mean? That's not.
• 1:54:13
  True his his G or his CrossFit commercial, the the RIP off the
• 1:54:19
  Sidney Swinney commercial. He did great.
• 1:54:21
  And that was like, really hard. Jason would be good, man.
• 1:54:24
  We messed this list. Up proven actors, Jason has the
• 1:54:28
  most proof. Oh, now you're all about it.
• 1:54:30
  I've I've literally said it should be two and you're going
• 1:54:33
  to push back on it because now we have Alex.
• 1:54:37
  It goes Dome it. Listen, Ricky should have been
• 1:54:39
  fine. That's all that there should be.
• 1:54:41
  And you, you have messed this list up.
• 1:54:45
  I think it's Abby, Jason, Harry, Alex, Ricky.
• 1:54:51
  You just like Ricky more. Ricky, you like as.
• 1:54:55
  Long as he doesn't talk. That means he's fine.
• 1:55:00
  That means he. Is how you look is like 90% of
• 1:55:03
  the battle in Hollywood. I didn't.
• 1:55:04
  Even think about the Jason like commercials that he freaking
• 1:55:08
  does. Like dude, you're you're so I
• 1:55:10
  cannot believe I let you talk me into you've ruined this list.
• 1:55:15
  This you have. This is what happens when
• 1:55:17
  Tyler's not freaking blind spam. Whenever we take away the
• 1:55:21
  blindness, we get this freaking ridiculous list like this.
• 1:55:25
  What's great, What's great? Are we doing man?
• 1:55:28
  Good. Look at this.
• 1:55:29
  Look at this. He can do any Mel Gibson
• 1:55:32
  character. Done.
• 1:55:34
  Oh wait, wrong one. Ricky can do any male Gibson.
• 1:55:39
  Character I don't care. Mad Max and he doesn't even
• 1:55:40
  drive. Mad Max is an overrated movie.
• 1:55:43
  It is not. Oh my God, I would.
• 1:55:45
  I'd I'd lose, I'd leave the show.
• 1:55:48
  I don't even care. Cue the Dave Castro meme.
• 1:55:53
  Zoo cares. That's fair.
• 1:55:56
  There you go. That's that's Abigail Dolmet
• 1:55:58
  doesn't qualify 3 games next year.
• 1:56:00
  She could go work in Hollywood. Last up, just some news
• 1:56:06
  headlines. No drug testing at in person
• 1:56:08
  masters events. Good bad.
• 1:56:11
  What's the solution for that? Should they do anything?
• 1:56:16
  John, you had, you had a, you had a winner.
• 1:56:18
  Yeah, we, we actually asked, we're like, hey, 'cause we were
• 1:56:23
  told that there would be drug testing.
• 1:56:24
  Yeah, that's what I heard. At Magic City.
• 1:56:26
  And we we, I asked. Like the front desk.
• 1:56:31
  Hey, where do we go? Like when it's over because we
• 1:56:36
  were trying to leave like as soon as it was over, we're
• 1:56:39
  trying to get times to figure out when we can leave and
• 1:56:41
  everything because I had to coach the next day.
• 1:56:42
  So like, I'm needing to know how long would you stay?
• 1:56:46
  And then the girl looked at me and she goes, I actually don't
• 1:56:49
  think we're drug testing. And I go, cool, all right, all
• 1:56:54
  right, sounds good. Well, if I just wanted to know
• 1:56:56
  if we were we're we're ready to take it.
• 1:56:59
  I just need to know where we need to go, right?
• 1:57:02
  Marissa was freaking out because she took Mucinex and and I'm
• 1:57:08
  like, you got to stop. You got to stop.
• 1:57:10
  She's she's one of those like, like doesn't want to take
• 1:57:14
  anything, refuses to take medicine when she's sick.
• 1:57:17
  Like, like, it's ridiculous. You eat a poppy seed bagel, it's
• 1:57:22
  all over. Yeah.
• 1:57:26
  Also, it's true. No, she told.
• 1:57:30
  She told my mom. She told my mom.
• 1:57:32
  So she goes, yeah, I was really concerned about the the biking
• 1:57:36
  one because I coughed all night. So I took some Mucinex and then
• 1:57:40
  my mom was like, well, I hope they don't drug test for that.
• 1:57:42
  Like joking. And then I looked at my mom with
• 1:57:46
  like, the meanest look because I know what this is about to do.
• 1:57:51
  And I'm like, stop, just stop. Go over there.
• 1:57:55
  Like, like this. I was so irritated.
• 1:57:58
  And now she's just freaking out. Like, like, and I was like, this
• 1:58:03
  is ridiculous. I cannot believe you did this,
• 1:58:05
  Mom. I I was, I was so mad.
• 1:58:08
  And like, she didn't understand why.
• 1:58:10
  And obviously, like, it was fine.
• 1:58:12
  But yeah. But anyway.
• 1:58:16
  Keep telling them, keep telling them you're going to test them.
• 1:58:18
  Keep testing them. And it's just like.
• 1:58:21
  No, I think if you're not going to test them, you should still
• 1:58:25
  say there is a chance that we're going to test chalk and then
• 1:58:28
  sometimes too, it's low. Yeah, but but, but maybe you
• 1:58:33
  could test the winners one year. I know it's supposed to be super
• 1:58:37
  expensive but maybe just test the winners like what if?
• 1:58:40
  You just have surprise test 1. So my thought is like you have,
• 1:58:44
  I mean, in the past, in the old regional days or even like the,
• 1:58:48
  the semi final days, right? Like when you when it had like
• 1:58:51
  the Super regionals and it was based off the strength of
• 1:58:54
  schedule and like 11 people from North America East qualify.
• 1:58:57
  They did like 13 drug tests. So like they had the ability
• 1:59:02
  back then to do it again. They've made an extra $1.7
• 1:59:06
  million doing quarterfinals. They have some extra cash in
• 1:59:09
  their coffer. Just do some random testing.
• 1:59:14
  I think you pick the most juiced out looking person and then just
• 1:59:17
  say you've been selected randomly to be drug.
• 1:59:19
  Tested some profiling. Because 100% there are masters
• 1:59:24
  people where you're like, they're all stuff.
• 1:59:26
  Right, like of all the divisions not to pissed.
• 1:59:29
  Every competition there's 100% there's people in each division
• 1:59:33
  that you're like, OK and this and you know, some of them are
• 1:59:37
  just really look like that and props to those people, but IA
• 1:59:40
  lot of them. You sure about that?
• 1:59:42
  Don't like No. Yeah, there are some people who
• 1:59:44
  are just more of them than others.
• 1:59:46
  All of them don't really look like that.
• 1:59:48
  Listen, Jr. is in the old people division.
• 1:59:51
  Jr. takes his shirt. Off.
• 1:59:52
  Yeah, but if you didn't know that these other people might
• 1:59:55
  just eat meat only all all I'm saying is that it doesn't hurt
• 2:00:00
  to test these people, right? And just. 100% profile people
• 2:00:06
  and then be like you've been selected and then test them.
• 2:00:09
  You'll catch some and some you'll they'll be clean.
• 2:00:12
  But. But then, but then just say
• 2:00:13
  there's drug testing and just pick one person, right?
• 2:00:16
  And then it scares enough people away from doing stuff.
• 2:00:19
  I have a great business idea for.
• 2:00:21
  This except for South America. South America say we're testing
• 2:00:24
  one through 40. How?
• 2:00:26
  What percentage here? Let me just throw this out
• 2:00:29
  there. While we're on South America.
• 2:00:31
  While we're on South America, if we tested one through 40 at Copa
• 2:00:35
  Sur, how many, how many pop tests are we getting?
• 2:00:39
  Over 50%. No.
• 2:00:41
  I think so. Dude, we had to get to 7th place
• 2:00:44
  to get to a team. To get a team to the games, we
• 2:00:48
  had to get to 7th place. It's embarrassing.
• 2:00:52
  It was also Asia a couple years ago I.
• 2:00:53
  I think we just do it and see. I think we just do.
• 2:00:56
  I bet you it's over half. My business plan for this to
• 2:01:02
  alleviate CrossFit problems is give us some water uniforms or
• 2:01:06
  you saw to whoever does it and we'll just go and make like over
• 2:01:12
  50% of the athletes pee in cups and we won't test any of them.
• 2:01:16
  Dude, that's yeah, no, I mean, that's great.
• 2:01:19
  Yeah. Why don't you just say, hey, we
• 2:01:21
  will be investing and then you don't have to just make a deal,
• 2:01:24
  throw it away. Yeah, but then people like that
• 2:01:26
  have been doping and they get through.
• 2:01:27
  They're like. It would, yeah, but it would, it
• 2:01:30
  would, it would deter some, that's all.
• 2:01:34
  And and these people will be like, I can't believe I just got
• 2:01:37
  lucky. If they cross the finish line,
• 2:01:40
  you just give them a cup. I guarantee you that these
• 2:01:42
  people who are who are juicing through the gills, like at least
• 2:01:47
  they'll cycle off. They'll be less juiced in
• 2:01:49
  before. I didn't think about this.
• 2:01:53
  We would have to actually work for you, Sada.
• 2:01:55
  Because like, if I'm just like, all right, dude, I need to stare
• 2:01:58
  at your Wiener for the next 30 seconds.
• 2:02:01
  But I'm not going to say bring it back, just bring it back in 5
• 2:02:04
  minutes. Hold on, I got to address this
• 2:02:06
  idiocy. And I'm sorry, Lupe, you're a
• 2:02:09
  great watcher of the show. You're in here all the time.
• 2:02:12
  This was a dumb comment. I said they had to get to team 7
• 2:02:17
  to get somebody to go to the games meeting.
• 2:02:19
  First pop, second pop, third pop, 4th pop, 5th pop, 6th pop.
• 2:02:24
  And then a team finally didn't pop.
• 2:02:27
  They didn't test 8 through 24. They just said we need somebody,
• 2:02:34
  somebody that's clean. And they got to seven before
• 2:02:38
  they found one person. They didn't test the rest of the
• 2:02:42
  field. You know they.
• 2:02:43
  Tested the rest of the field, Lupe.
• 2:02:45
  It would have been insane. You're better than this, Lupe.
• 2:02:49
  You're better than this. I don't even know your name, but
• 2:02:51
  I hope we meet and I hope I can say that you're better than this
• 2:02:55
  in person. Teams only test half the
• 2:02:59
  athletes too, so think about that.
• 2:03:03
  That's a good point. Can you imagine being a teammate
• 2:03:07
  and you're doing drugs and somebody else on your team gets
• 2:03:10
  bopped and you didn't have to test?
• 2:03:15
  That was your fault there. Whoa.
• 2:03:17
  What pop close pop. You pop me pops.
• 2:03:20
  MIM pops. Yeah, no pop.
• 2:03:23
  Let's get to that. No pop.
• 2:03:25
  Yeah. So I, I mean, I think they need
• 2:03:27
  to do some type of random, even if it's like 5 tests or six
• 2:03:31
  tests, like just do a handful, scare them off, do something
• 2:03:34
  like that, No. Crap, Lupe.
• 2:03:38
  No crap. And it you'd listen.
• 2:03:40
  And I'm sorry that I'm going off on you a little right now, Lupe.
• 2:03:43
  No, don't go. Back pedal, Jeff, but there is
• 2:03:46
  so much dumb people in the comments that like write
• 2:03:50
  something that you just wrote and I don't.
• 2:03:53
  I'd like you, Lupe, because I see your comments and you're
• 2:03:57
  generally not not that bad, but I just, there's a lot of people
• 2:04:02
  out there that are really bad and I just want you to be
• 2:04:05
  better. That's it.
• 2:04:06
  Yeah. That's fair.
• 2:04:08
  Other news, Norcal same weekend as Syndicate, they're going to
• 2:04:13
  have 7 events out there in in Sacramento.
• 2:04:18
  So check that out. I have the schedule out there.
• 2:04:20
  Has anybody downloaded the World Fitness Project mobile app?
• 2:04:25
  As soon as it came out. Cool, you can download that.
• 2:04:30
  You will need a heavy I. Did download the United app
• 2:04:32
  because I had to, you know, get a flight to syndicate.
• 2:04:37
  That's cool. Well, you should, you know, like
• 2:04:39
  around the world, like you know, it's a plane fight.
• 2:04:42
  I should start counting your trips.
• 2:04:45
  Man, the, the eye roll I give people and I, I understand how
• 2:04:49
  funny this is, but when they're like, wait, you know, it's like
• 2:04:52
  you'll go to like freaking Huddle House and they'll be
• 2:04:55
  like, yeah, did you download the app?
• 2:04:57
  No, I didn't download the app. You.
• 2:04:59
  Don't want an app? I don't want another freaking
• 2:05:01
  app. That's fair.
• 2:05:05
  You'll need a heavy medicine ball.
• 2:05:06
  So while you order a a wheelbarrow from Rogue Fitness,
• 2:05:11
  you can also order a 30 LB medicine ball for the dudes.
• 2:05:16
  I assume all the women would have access to a 20 LB medicine
• 2:05:19
  ball, but you will need that for online semifinals coming up in
• 2:05:23
  June. Let's see.
• 2:05:26
  What's the point of the app? So there's actually a weekly
• 2:05:32
  training program, so they're going to give a workout every
• 2:05:35
  week. Since it launched last month,
• 2:05:38
  they were just WFP London events that were then put into the app.
• 2:05:44
  Nobody's put anything on the leaderboard yet.
• 2:05:47
  There's announcements, there's links to tickets, there's I
• 2:05:53
  think they'll have stuff when it comes to their their quarterly,
• 2:06:01
  yeah, they just have stuff and go download it.
• 2:06:03
  The links out there on the bar wheel spin dot.
• 2:06:05
  Com John, you don't read their emails.
• 2:06:07
  I'm sorry, what were you saying you?
• 2:06:09
  Don't you don't want that? What else?
• 2:06:13
  Well, we have to settle this real quick.
• 2:06:16
  It depends on how fast you say it.
• 2:06:19
  John, what do you say? I don't know.
• 2:06:23
  I'm nervous. If I say it.
• 2:06:25
  If I say. It I think I say Barrow, I think
• 2:06:27
  I said Barrow, wheelbarrow, wheelbarrow.
• 2:06:30
  If I'm saying it like I'm speaking to somebody from home,
• 2:06:33
  it's wheelbarrow. Wheelbarrow.
• 2:06:35
  That's even different. It's wheelbarrow.
• 2:06:37
  Wheelbarrow. Well, which one is that?
• 2:06:40
  I don't even know which one. It says neither.
• 2:06:41
  It's like BUROH. That's wheelbarrow.
• 2:06:46
  That's West Virginian. You know there's wheelbarrow
• 2:06:49
  over here. Wheelbarrow.
• 2:06:51
  I probably end up actually saying barrel on accident even
• 2:06:55
  though I know I shouldn't. Is it Barrow?
• 2:06:57
  Yes. L at the end.
• 2:06:59
  Wheelbarrow, wheelbarrow. I, I, I still don't know which
• 2:07:03
  one I say. I feel like it's, it's in the
• 2:07:05
  middle of what? I feel like it's in the middle
• 2:07:07
  of those two things. And finally, if you are into
• 2:07:12
  doping, you can now buy stock in the enhanced Games.
• 2:07:16
  Their parent company is now trading on the stock market, so.
• 2:07:20
  Do that for sure. Yeah, for sure.
• 2:07:22
  Actually, actually, you know what they're doing.
• 2:07:24
  They're they're, they're the athletes that are doing it.
• 2:07:26
  First of all, I've heard that like Wes kits is like setting
• 2:07:29
  like world records and training like left and right.
• 2:07:32
  Yeah. And so like the swimmers are
• 2:07:35
  doing the same. And what I've heard, what I've
• 2:07:37
  heard is when they actually do the enhanced games and they
• 2:07:39
  start breaking world records, they're going to share like the
• 2:07:42
  peptides and stuff that they're taking.
• 2:07:43
  That's what I heard. That's cool.
• 2:07:45
  That's that's probably bad, but cool.
• 2:07:49
  Yeah. So I don't know if like they're
• 2:07:50
  take, I think they're taking like all peptides.
• 2:07:52
  I don't think they're taking like trend like I think it's
• 2:07:56
  literally like legal peptides and that's what this company,
• 2:08:00
  the parent company is gonna start doing is selling and like
• 2:08:03
  being like some peptide health type thing on top of it.
• 2:08:06
  So smart. They think there's a lot more.
• 2:08:10
  If you go to the NFL, you have to like do all this stuff to
• 2:08:12
  make sure, you know, you can rehab from CTE and all these
• 2:08:15
  different things. They have all these programs you
• 2:08:17
  can get in after by enduring, I think to kind of make up for the
• 2:08:22
  fact that they are openly juicing.
• 2:08:25
  He's like, OK, talk about what you're doing.
• 2:08:27
  I think that's super cool. Like even just from a scientific
• 2:08:29
  standpoint. But then, like, talk about,
• 2:08:33
  like, all the testing you're doing to make sure your bloods
• 2:08:36
  aren't like your, your, your blood isn't as thick as, like,
• 2:08:39
  cement. And then, you know, all of the
• 2:08:42
  hell stuff that goes into it and, like, kind of scare people
• 2:08:44
  that way to where it's like, hey, this is not as easy as it
• 2:08:47
  looks like. This is a super serious hard
• 2:08:49
  thing to do. Yeah.
• 2:08:52
  That's all I got. Two hours.
• 2:08:54
  Got Jr. got Jr. on John. What do you got?
• 2:08:57
  You got someone last thing to throw out there, JY Barbell.
• 2:09:01
  Oh, I mean, no, not really. Sign up to JYJY barbell.com.
• 2:09:06
  You want to get strong or just fit you know it's it's just just
• 2:09:11
  programming with the strength bias Nicole PR D her deadlift by
• 2:09:16
  40 lbs today and not even at the world fitness project she hit
• 2:09:20
  385 that'll. Be good for syndicate.
• 2:09:24
  Yeah, the deadlift workout, I hope it gives you confidence.
• 2:09:26
  We were trash at Legends, so hopefully we're a little bit.
• 2:09:30
  It's because you weren't there. I think it plays a little bit of
• 2:09:33
  the role, but it's going. To be.
• 2:09:35
  There, it's no excuse. Oh, I'm going to be there.
• 2:09:38
  She won't be in the top heat, so I'll be able to be down there
• 2:09:41
  then I'll make my way over OK. And that and I hope she hears
• 2:09:47
  this and and takes that personal because I only commentate the
• 2:09:52
  top 2 heats Nicole. So if I'm down.
• 2:09:56
  I'll make you commentate all of them, John.
• 2:09:58
  Well, I'm going to commentate the top team seats too.
• 2:10:00
  I think that's fair. Let's see about that.
• 2:10:03
  We'll make, we're going to make you just work everything.
• 2:10:05
  No, I have to coach. Yeah.
• 2:10:08
  You know what? No, I won't.
• 2:10:11
  I won't be. This was bait, John.
• 2:10:16
  How did you go for it? No.
• 2:10:18
  No, I know. But you know, I do.
• 2:10:20
  I do want to give Sidney Smith her props because every time she
• 2:10:26
  comes up I kind of downgrade her and I do think she's kind of
• 2:10:33
  fit. I think she has a chance to
• 2:10:35
  actually qualify. Not in Norco when you look at
• 2:10:37
  the. Roster I think, I think I think
• 2:10:39
  so I will have to see the programming, but I do want to
• 2:10:44
  apologize for my opinions about Sidney Smith.
• 2:10:47
  I think she is actually fit and she's up and coming and I'm and
• 2:10:52
  I'm wrong on I was wrong on her. I will not be wrong anymore
• 2:10:57
  about her. That's it.
• 2:11:00
  We'll see you guys next week. I apologize to absolutely
• 2:11:03
  nobody.
