- 0:29What's going on, everybody?
- 0:30It's Sunday, Sunday,
- 0:32Sunday night CrossFit talk.
- 0:35And it is halftime of the
- 0:36Bills-Ravens game where the
- 0:37Bills lead twenty one to ten.
- 0:41And that is Carolyn's Bills now, right?
- 0:42You jumped ship from I
- 0:44jumped ship and I'm
- 0:45cheering for the Bills.
- 0:46Yeah,
- 0:47my I got really excited when there's
- 0:49a I guess Lamar kind of
- 0:53fumbled a little bit and
- 0:54then they took it.
- 0:56So apparently my heart's
- 0:57with the Bills now.
- 0:59I could have picked it.
- 1:00I had two choices,
- 1:01Detroit and was a good choice as well.
- 1:04Cause I mean,
- 1:06they are the team that I was
- 1:07closest with our closest to growing up,
- 1:10but I will go with the bills.
- 1:14So I got to say,
- 1:15I've grown up a Bears... I mean,
- 1:16I was a Bears fan since the
- 1:17early eighties.
- 1:19Detroit has been in my
- 1:20conference every minute of my fandom.
- 1:24You're supposed to hate the
- 1:24people in your conference,
- 1:26but I really wanted the
- 1:27Lions to win this year.
- 1:28Same.
- 1:29And because they just have
- 1:32never been to the Super Bowl.
- 1:33Right.
- 1:35I was devastated last night.
- 1:36It was rough.
- 1:38And I'm not even a Lions fan.
- 1:42Yeah.
- 1:42I like the team.
- 1:45I did see Rich was there with his daughter,
- 1:47and I missed what Carolyn said.
- 1:49I said, I just like the Lions team.
- 1:51I just think that I like Dan Campbell.
- 1:54I like the team.
- 1:56I think they're gritty.
- 1:57They had such a good season
- 1:59and then just didn't put it
- 2:00together yesterday.
- 2:01was a bad game holy cow they
- 2:04looked I mean we were
- 2:05riddled with injuries like
- 2:07defense is what it was and
- 2:08robinson going out right
- 2:09away was not good um but
- 2:13man golf was it was bad I
- 2:15mean if we can't score to
- 2:17keep up with them it's over
- 2:20you scored and still lost
- 2:22like that I know but you
- 2:23have to keep you got to be
- 2:25matching them right yeah
- 2:26that's how bad our defense was
- 2:29Yeah.
- 2:29I liked the write-up Rich did,
- 2:31and it really like touched
- 2:32my heart because I felt
- 2:34that way when I took Corey
- 2:35to a U-Two concert.
- 2:37Because U-Two was my
- 2:37favorite band growing up.
- 2:39To take her to that concert
- 2:40and share that experience
- 2:41with her was exactly how he
- 2:43wrote up that.
- 2:44That even though they lost,
- 2:46it's a memory he'll always
- 2:47have taking her to the game.
- 2:49So, yeah.
- 2:52Very cool.
- 2:53Well, on less depressing news...
- 2:57Carolyn went and saw my
- 2:59favorite musical of all time.
- 3:02Yeah.
- 3:04I saw the Lion King today with Lex.
- 3:06It was so good.
- 3:08Their costumes are so impressive.
- 3:11The singing's obviously great, but yeah,
- 3:14it was the first time I had
- 3:16seen it and I loved it.
- 3:18Did they do the marching of the animals?
- 3:20Oh yeah.
- 3:22Yep.
- 3:23Yeah.
- 3:23Yeah.
- 3:25Yeah, it's great.
- 3:26It's so nicely done.
- 3:28It is.
- 3:29I only have one criticism of
- 3:32the play since, you know,
- 3:33we critique everything here.
- 3:35Um, and that is right after the,
- 3:37the intermission,
- 3:39the frolicking in the grass
- 3:42to represent that they had
- 3:44consummated their relationship,
- 3:46I thought was a bit over the top.
- 3:48Um,
- 3:51and not in the movie or the
- 3:52original story at all.
- 3:54Um, but yeah, other than that,
- 3:57it is a perfect musical.
- 3:59They have some like, um,
- 4:01little local jokes too,
- 4:02that they threw in there for Toronto.
- 4:04Um, in the one I saw.
- 4:05Um,
- 4:07so I don't like when was the last time
- 4:08that you saw yours?
- 4:09Oh gosh.
- 4:11It's probably been
- 4:12Yeah,
- 4:13and I'm sure there's been a lot of
- 4:14adjustments and just like
- 4:16different little tweaks
- 4:17depending on where it is.
- 4:20But yeah, no, it's great.
- 4:21Jim Collison, M.D.
- 4:23: Yeah.
- 4:24You also did a comp this weekend?
- 4:26I did.
- 4:27Lex wanted to do a Paris comp,
- 4:29a local Paris comp.
- 4:30Um, so we had a really,
- 4:33really busy weekend.
- 4:34Um,
- 4:35she came in Thursday and then like on
- 4:38Friday I took the day off
- 4:39work and she had Nexus interviews, um,
- 4:42to do like on both sides of the border,
- 4:44just to facilitate travel.
- 4:46Cause I have my Nexus.
- 4:47So whenever we're in the same car together,
- 4:49like I can't take the Nexus lane.
- 4:51She doesn't have her Nexus.
- 4:52So, um, that'll facilitate.
- 4:54Can you explain what that is?
- 4:56It's just like a trusted traveler.
- 4:58So you can use it at the airports,
- 5:02but it's really useful for
- 5:06when you go over a bridge,
- 5:06like the driving borders, I guess.
- 5:10You have a different lane
- 5:11that you can go to.
- 5:12So sometimes when the bridge is backed up,
- 5:15you just go through the nexus lane.
- 5:16It's much, much faster,
- 5:17less questions being asked
- 5:18normally and less people in the lane.
- 5:21So now that she'll have that,
- 5:23we can travel a little bit
- 5:24faster together.
- 5:26together and then
- 5:28We went to a local gym in
- 5:31the Buffalo area that day as well.
- 5:36Yesterday was our Paris competition.
- 5:39On Tuesday,
- 5:40she wasn't even sure whether
- 5:41she was going to compete
- 5:42because she messed her back
- 5:44up a little bit during a
- 5:46heavy back squat training
- 5:48and then popped a few
- 5:51leaves and was still able
- 5:54to do everything during the weekend and
- 5:59um like in very very very
- 6:01very easy like two twenty
- 6:02complex that was just like
- 6:05she could have had maybe
- 6:06two thirty five in her for
- 6:08the complex it was like
- 6:09three deadlifts two hang
- 6:11cleans and a jerk and she
- 6:12just like from the from the
- 6:14hips just like power cleans
- 6:15it power cleans push jerk
- 6:18and I'm like oh okay
- 6:20If you've not seen Lex compete,
- 6:22she is the power part of
- 6:25the duo where Carolyn is
- 6:28more the gymnastic side of the house.
- 6:33And you guys won.
- 6:34Yeah, we ended up winning.
- 6:35There was actually a few
- 6:36really good teams that were there,
- 6:38so it wasn't...
- 6:40It wasn't like a shoe in every workout.
- 6:44Like we had to put in,
- 6:45put in a good effort every workout.
- 6:47And there were some tough workouts.
- 6:49The worst one was the first one we had.
- 6:50It was like the quads just blew up.
- 6:52It was ten rounds.
- 6:53You go, I go.
- 6:55Twelve cows on the bike erg.
- 6:59nine box jump overs like
- 7:00lateral you could rebound
- 7:02and six thrusters at ninety
- 7:03five pounds you would
- 7:04complete a full round and
- 7:05then you would tag your
- 7:06partner but it was like
- 7:07basically like a minute on
- 7:08a minute off and your legs
- 7:10were just burning that's
- 7:12that that was my favorite
- 7:13workout of the weekend
- 7:14though so jamie tried to do
- 7:18an insane thing today um
- 7:20and I'll let her explain it
- 7:22because to run outdoors oh my goodness
- 7:27it's called the frostbite
- 7:29relay and that looks like
- 7:32you truly were frostbit it
- 7:33was yeah I probably been
- 7:36doing this for like one
- 7:37more time show that yeah
- 7:40one more time please that
- 7:42is insanity yeah
- 7:49Oh yeah.
- 7:49Um, it was, it was like, um,
- 7:53real feel was like five or something.
- 7:56It,
- 7:56so it was actually like a little bit
- 7:58warmer at like seven when
- 8:00we got there and it kept
- 8:01dropping like a degree as
- 8:02we were going and it was
- 8:04not really snowing.
- 8:05It was not swimming in grand
- 8:06Rapids really at all.
- 8:08Um, but Holland was knowing,
- 8:10and it was snowing the
- 8:11further you obviously you
- 8:13basically run around the lake and you,
- 8:14so you get the lake effect.
- 8:16Um, and yeah, so my leg,
- 8:19like I'm the worst,
- 8:21everyone has a picture like that,
- 8:22but mine's the worst.
- 8:23My leg was like right into
- 8:24the wind and snow was just
- 8:26in my face the whole time.
- 8:27I like could barely see
- 8:28where I was running, but it,
- 8:30it was not the worst year
- 8:31that we've done it.
- 8:32We've been there when it's been like.
- 8:34negative two with like a
- 8:35negative fifteen and we've
- 8:37been there in like really
- 8:38blizzard conditions where
- 8:39you like can't I mean one
- 8:41year we put this is before
- 8:43we got smart and got yak
- 8:44tracks but one year we like
- 8:46screwed screws into our
- 8:47shoes so that we could
- 8:50like grip the ground at all.
- 8:52Um, cause the footing's not great out.
- 8:54They don't really plow out
- 8:56on one of the streets.
- 8:57The Holland, Holland is a beautiful town.
- 9:00Um, they have heated sidewalks.
- 9:02It's like, you know, high end,
- 9:04high end town.
- 9:05Um, so it's nice when you're in town,
- 9:08but the second you get out of town,
- 9:09like two miles in you, you're, you know,
- 9:11you're at the mercy of the roads and, um,
- 9:14yeah, it was, it was cold,
- 9:16but it was fun.
- 9:17I only did like four point two miles.
- 9:19So
- 9:20Yeah, it's a full marathon,
- 9:22but we had seven people on our team.
- 9:25I think I said this last
- 9:26year when you did it.
- 9:27I did one New Year's Day,
- 9:30five K and the snow on the
- 9:32trail was so bad that I had
- 9:34to run in short choppy
- 9:36steps to like not fall.
- 9:39My legs ached.
- 9:41for weeks after that,
- 9:43because I changed my running completely.
- 9:45Yeah.
- 9:46And I swore I would never,
- 9:47it just wasn't worth it for
- 9:49me to do a bad weather run
- 9:51like that again.
- 9:53Um, and Ken, I think is on par with that.
- 9:57He tried yesterday,
- 9:57Minnesota at negative it
- 9:59was a no go after a fort,
- 10:00a quarter mile turned around.
- 10:02So half mile total.
- 10:03Yeah.
- 10:05I mean, I can't believe you.
- 10:07Yeah,
- 10:08it usually my back is usually really
- 10:10tight when I finish because I again,
- 10:11I'm like running with like
- 10:13a little bit different gait
- 10:14and protected running is
- 10:16it's just never good.
- 10:18But yeah,
- 10:18my legs are and you get in the
- 10:20car because because you're
- 10:21driving to the next station
- 10:23to get the next person like
- 10:25you finish running and you
- 10:26jump in the car for one you
- 10:27want to warm up.
- 10:29And so you don't cool down,
- 10:30you don't stretch your legs.
- 10:31You're just like cramped in
- 10:32a vehicle for the other two
- 10:33hours or whatever, you know?
- 10:35Um, so yeah,
- 10:36my legs are super tight right
- 10:37now and I'm just,
- 10:39I'm exhausted in general, but it's fine.
- 10:42We'll be fine tomorrow.
- 10:43I don't want to do any part
- 10:44of this cold running.
- 10:48Like, no, he says,
- 10:49here in Florida was a
- 10:50weather must be nice.
- 10:52I've been to Waza twice, never been.
- 10:55Yeah.
- 10:57never it's not it doesn't
- 10:59ever seem to be great yeah
- 11:01um rainy but I want to I
- 11:04want to share one more
- 11:05thing before we get into uh
- 11:08the rundown and that is uh
- 11:10miss carolyn shared
- 11:13something I don't know what
- 11:15we're calling it um but the
- 11:18kip ups oh yeah so this got
- 11:22sixty some comments
- 11:27This is a new movement.
- 11:28It's at Waza next weekend.
- 11:32No, just kidding.
- 11:36How many videos did you get
- 11:38of people attempting this?
- 11:39About three.
- 11:42Two of them were people at my gym.
- 11:44A teenage boy that trains
- 11:48and then one of the coaches.
- 11:51But I haven't seen a female do it.
- 11:56Yeah,
- 11:57Denise Moore attempted at sixty six
- 11:58years old.
- 12:00And you have to you have to
- 12:01like love her for trying.
- 12:04Yeah.
- 12:05But it wasn't much of a kip up.
- 12:06She just kind of rolled
- 12:07right up into a standing position.
- 12:09I think those are called like deck squats.
- 12:13Yes.
- 12:14That's like the perfect scaling to it.
- 12:17And like,
- 12:18you could totally do that
- 12:20movement and do a deck
- 12:23squat where you don't do
- 12:23the actual kip up or for
- 12:25the scaled version of that,
- 12:26it would just be laid down
- 12:28and get up however you want.
- 12:29And it's very functional.
- 12:31I mean, get to a position on your back and
- 12:36get up how you want and then
- 12:37you could step over the box.
- 12:39You could scale it.
- 12:41I love Hattie Cano just bra.
- 12:46And the barbell spin tagged
- 12:48the NorCal Classic guys
- 12:51because they'll try anything out there.
- 12:55So who knows?
- 12:56Maybe it'll be part of
- 12:57NorCal Classic this year.
- 12:58I'd love it.
- 13:00I still got to do those qualifiers.
- 13:02I haven't done them yet.
- 13:04And you have another week?
- 13:08Yeah, a little bit over that.
- 13:10Okay.
- 13:15Denise says,
- 13:15I can still jump on the twenty
- 13:16four inch box with no issue, though.
- 13:19That's great.
- 13:20Yeah, that is great.
- 13:23She amazes me.
- 13:24She is so fit for her age.
- 13:27She's so fit for like ten
- 13:30years younger than she is.
- 13:35It's amazing.
- 13:35She's so cool.
- 13:37Okay, so let's close that down.
- 13:41Now we'll go to the rundown.
- 13:45We found out this week that
- 13:47the games are going to Albany, New York.
- 13:50Thoughts on that?
- 13:52Mm-hmm.
- 13:56I've never been.
- 13:58I didn't go to that.
- 13:59That was what,
- 14:00the East Regional back in...
- 14:02I've been to the East Regional there.
- 14:03What year was it?
- 14:07It was fine.
- 14:07Wasn't it inside a hockey rink?
- 14:09Most of them were just
- 14:10inside a... I think the
- 14:11East ones I've been is Connecticut,
- 14:13Albany...
- 14:16I think, yeah.
- 14:16So is this a different venue
- 14:19than the East Regional was
- 14:21in when it was in Albany?
- 14:22It is.
- 14:23Okay.
- 14:24It is actually the biggest
- 14:26arena that the games will
- 14:27ever have been in.
- 14:27Oh, wow.
- 14:30Bigger than Fort Worth.
- 14:31Oh, really?
- 14:32Way bigger than Madison.
- 14:34Yeah,
- 14:34it's like a thousand more seats than
- 14:37Fort Worth.
- 14:40Should be, should be good.
- 14:42Like a new city, new ideas, fresh start,
- 14:47which is what was needed.
- 14:49They definitely couldn't go
- 14:50back to Fort Worth.
- 14:51I don't think Fort Worth
- 14:52wanted them to come back
- 14:53after the reputation from last year.
- 14:58And I think they need to change.
- 15:00And I think that should be, we'll see.
- 15:03I think it'll be good.
- 15:06So fully indoors?
- 15:07Yeah.
- 15:08You think there there's
- 15:11nothing like right around the arena.
- 15:13Yeah.
- 15:14You'd have to go to another
- 15:15spot of the city.
- 15:16Right.
- 15:17Um,
- 15:18I did some research earlier in the week
- 15:20just to like, first,
- 15:21let me answer Denise a bigger.
- 15:23That's promising.
- 15:24The games has never had a
- 15:25problem selling tickets for the games.
- 15:28That has never been their problem.
- 15:30It's,
- 15:30it's all the stuff leading up to it
- 15:32that they have the problem.
- 15:35Yes.
- 15:35Um,
- 15:37so I did some research into
- 15:39the city the airport like
- 15:41all the major airlines fly
- 15:43into there as well as
- 15:45southwest and allegiant so
- 15:47you have a couple like
- 15:48economy options as well as
- 15:51um delta united american um
- 15:55it's an international
- 15:56airport um most people in
- 15:58the comments of the week
- 15:59said that's because of canada but
- 16:02But everybody I've talked to
- 16:05from Florida to California
- 16:07has found direct flights,
- 16:10which is promising because
- 16:12that was not happening in Madison.
- 16:15No.
- 16:15In Madison,
- 16:15you had to either go to Chicago
- 16:17or Milwaukee and then rent
- 16:19a car or take a bus or fly
- 16:22to Detroit and then fly to
- 16:24Wisconsin or yeah, it was crazy.
- 16:26But yeah,
- 16:28And then the metro area is
- 16:31actually bigger than Madison.
- 16:34So including suburbs,
- 16:35it's bigger than Madison.
- 16:37Now it's downtown is smaller
- 16:38than Madison by about half.
- 16:41So a little of this, a little of that.
- 16:45Like I'm always going to
- 16:46have a soft spot for
- 16:46Madison because that's
- 16:47where I went to school.
- 16:48And I just have like memories there.
- 16:50And I just think Madison is
- 16:51a very beautiful city.
- 16:54It's very quiet in the
- 16:55summer when they had the games.
- 16:56Like it's not one –
- 16:58actual students are really
- 16:59in town and it's rowdy but
- 17:01like I I'm always gonna
- 17:03have a soft spot for
- 17:03madison for sure yeah so
- 17:05clock saying direct flight
- 17:06from california yeah I
- 17:08talked to amanda amanda
- 17:10harry who has a channel her
- 17:12crossfit channel herself
- 17:14she looked into flights
- 17:15direct flight from um
- 17:17northern california to uh
- 17:19albany like san francisco
- 17:21about four fifty was the
- 17:24price so not even that terrible
- 17:28Yeah.
- 17:30The more I was thinking about Madison,
- 17:33like where the games were,
- 17:35wasn't the best part of the town.
- 17:37No one uses that place.
- 17:38It's literally like an old rundown.
- 17:41Like it's literally.
- 17:44An area that nobody goes during the year.
- 17:47There's some random concerts maybe,
- 17:49but it's not utilized.
- 17:52It's not where the actual
- 17:54facilities are for the campus,
- 17:55which are ridiculously nice.
- 17:59If you think about it
- 18:00without the memories of
- 18:03going to the games in Madison,
- 18:05the arena had broken down
- 18:06seats everywhere.
- 18:08it was old it wasn't very
- 18:11big it had bad sight lines
- 18:13in some spots the venue
- 18:17outside crossfit had to
- 18:19build up to have the
- 18:20outdoor field and all that
- 18:22stuff um the vendor village
- 18:24was not air conditioned and
- 18:26it was hot and stale in
- 18:28that building like there's
- 18:30a lot of things that could
- 18:32be better and maybe albany we get
- 18:35not quite like the distance
- 18:38from the arena to vendor
- 18:40village and maybe something
- 18:42better for a vendor village in Albany.
- 18:49Just my hope.
- 18:49And maybe the arena is a
- 18:50little newer or more well-kept.
- 18:55Should be.
- 18:57So, so yeah.
- 19:00Yeah.
- 19:05Ken is saying,
- 19:06isn't it the state fairgrounds?
- 19:08In Madison?
- 19:09No, Albany, I think.
- 19:11Albany?
- 19:12It is not a fairgrounds in Albany.
- 19:14It is smack downtown.
- 19:15It is a big arena.
- 19:18More like Fort Worth than Madison.
- 19:22I'm curious whether they'll
- 19:25ever put turf inside similar to Rogue,
- 19:27now that you've seen Rogue
- 19:28do it at the Rogue Invitational.
- 19:29They could do one day that...
- 19:32They have the turf, and then the next day,
- 19:34all of a sudden, the turf is gone,
- 19:35and it's flooring.
- 19:39And Ken is saying, yes,
- 19:40Madison is what he was talking about.
- 19:41I don't know if it was the
- 19:42state fairgrounds.
- 19:43I know it was more known for
- 19:45agriculture than anything.
- 19:55Jody,
- 19:55it is not the same place as where the
- 19:58regionals were.
- 19:59Same city, different venue.
- 20:04so uh and larry's right
- 20:08getting around fort worth
- 20:09was not easy um the traffic
- 20:11was really bad there so
- 20:14maybe we have something
- 20:15again a little bit in
- 20:16between the two uh that may
- 20:19may turn out to be even better
- 20:21With all the research I've done,
- 20:22it looks like it's a pretty
- 20:23nice place with lots to do.
- 20:26I booked an Airbnb for three
- 20:28bedroom Airbnb already just
- 20:30to be safe if we decide to go.
- 20:34And fourteen hundred dollars
- 20:35for Wednesday to Monday.
- 20:38Wow.
- 20:39So not bad at all.
- 20:39Yeah, that's a good deal.
- 20:45So, yeah.
- 20:47So I think I think it's going to work out.
- 20:51think it's going to be a
- 20:51good move um but we'll see
- 20:56because we'll get into that
- 20:57in a second so the next
- 20:58thing up is last week we
- 21:00taught touted the madaris
- 21:03hopper pepper part one this
- 21:08week they did part two um I
- 21:10think two nights ago and
- 21:14they actually get into the
- 21:17prize money and the breakdown
- 21:20And that really,
- 21:22if you're doing the game season,
- 21:25you have to finish on the
- 21:26podium if you want to be a
- 21:27professional athlete.
- 21:30What they deem to be a
- 21:31professional athlete.
- 21:34And Hopper was the big one.
- 21:35Like, if I finish fifth again,
- 21:38I'm making thirty grand.
- 21:41And that's not enough to live on.
- 21:45Yeah.
- 21:49Yeah, I mean,
- 21:50most of those athletes that
- 21:51consider themselves
- 21:52professional CrossFitters, if they do,
- 21:54like they're either living
- 21:55at home with their parents
- 21:57where they can save some
- 21:58money there and then their
- 21:59additional income they can
- 22:00save so they can consider
- 22:02themselves professional or
- 22:03they have other income from sponsors.
- 22:06Like that's the only way
- 22:07that you can consider
- 22:08yourself professional.
- 22:09Like there's a lot of people
- 22:10that say that they're
- 22:11professional CrossFitters,
- 22:12but they don't really make
- 22:13any money to consider
- 22:15themselves professional.
- 22:17I think we talked about this last week,
- 22:19the, the top,
- 22:21the number one person gets
- 22:23more money in the new breakdown.
- 22:25If there's open signups that match that,
- 22:28but everybody below that is
- 22:29making way less than they did last year.
- 22:33And that's what they were
- 22:34kind of diving into.
- 22:35Yeah.
- 22:36And that they're,
- 22:37that they're going to have
- 22:38to do both seasons to make
- 22:40enough money to kind of
- 22:42make it work for them.
- 22:47Yeah,
- 22:47which is why both season is an
- 22:48earning opportunity for these athletes,
- 22:52which there's nothing wrong with that.
- 22:54At the end of the day,
- 22:55they're just trying to make an income,
- 22:56so you can't fault them for
- 23:00doing both and trying to
- 23:02make a living if that's
- 23:04their full career.
- 23:07What I found really
- 23:08interesting in this
- 23:09discussion was Dallin said
- 23:12exactly what we did last week where –
- 23:16It's going to be a new
- 23:17normal of what you compete at,
- 23:19like more of a steady,
- 23:22get my body ready for
- 23:23multiple competitions as
- 23:25opposed to peaking for one
- 23:28competition a year or two
- 23:30competitions a year.
- 23:31It's going to be,
- 23:32and he called it mini peaks.
- 23:36It's going to be a bunch
- 23:37more mini peaks as opposed
- 23:39to like one big peak.
- 23:44That part I find fascinating
- 23:46is how the training is
- 23:47going to switch for these
- 23:48athletes who are doing
- 23:50multiple competitions.
- 23:53I feel like that's sort of
- 23:54how it's been for Masters.
- 23:57There's not ever really been
- 23:59an off-season.
- 24:02Yeah,
- 24:02but you're not doing a competition
- 24:03like every other weekend or...
- 24:06And they're going to have to
- 24:07doing both of these seasons.
- 24:09There's going to be times
- 24:10you're competing in a two
- 24:12or three week period.
- 24:14I think it's really just a
- 24:15few months of that.
- 24:16It's really that May,
- 24:17June that that happens.
- 24:19And after that,
- 24:20they can be pretty
- 24:21selective on when they
- 24:22compete throughout the year and
- 24:25But that May,
- 24:26June is the ones where you
- 24:27could find yourself having
- 24:29to do multiple competitions
- 24:31in order to qualify for the games,
- 24:34whether that's online
- 24:35semifinals followed by an in-person,
- 24:37you don't qualify another
- 24:38in-person event.
- 24:41Those few weekends,
- 24:42that's going to be the difficult part.
- 24:45But other than that,
- 24:47most of them for the Open,
- 24:49they can cruise through that.
- 24:51There's no quarterfinals now.
- 24:53So the next big thing will be that April,
- 24:57May, June semifinals.
- 25:00CrossFit cross fat says both
- 25:02seasons can each pay less
- 25:04if athletes can make money
- 25:05from both seasons.
- 25:07And that may be what we're
- 25:08looking at is there's one pot of money.
- 25:12And now instead of everybody
- 25:14going for the one
- 25:15competition and all the money,
- 25:17now that pot is split
- 25:18between two things that you
- 25:21now have to enter to get
- 25:24your cut of the whole pie.
- 25:27Does that make sense?
- 25:28We still haven't seen any
- 25:30kind of breakdown for the WFP season.
- 25:35We don't even know what's on
- 25:36the line for them.
- 25:37And obviously there's been
- 25:38some rosters that haven't
- 25:41been filled on both sides.
- 25:43So we're still waiting to
- 25:44see whether those are even
- 25:47filled up for the top twenty.
- 25:48But I'm curious to see some
- 25:50sort of breakdown there.
- 25:53I'm really excited to see a
- 25:54breakdown of that.
- 25:56Larry Young,
- 25:57more work for less money and
- 25:58congratulations on becoming
- 26:00a grandfather.
- 26:02I don't know if this is your first.
- 26:03Do you go by grandpa or do
- 26:05you go papa or what's the name you use,
- 26:08Mr. Young?
- 26:14The other part of this
- 26:16week's episode was they
- 26:20surprised Hopper with a
- 26:21visit from Luke Parker to
- 26:24discuss the fact.
- 26:27And I don't know if you even saw this,
- 26:28Jamie.
- 26:30Last week,
- 26:30it was revealed that Jason
- 26:32Hopper was watching The
- 26:33Bachelor the year Luke Parker was on.
- 26:35Oh, my God.
- 26:37He would go into his DMs and
- 26:39blast him for the stupid
- 26:40stuff he would do on the show.
- 26:43then met him on a plane they
- 26:46got to know each other and
- 26:47luke's hey what's your
- 26:48instagram and he goes hey I
- 26:49already have a message from
- 26:50you and there's all the
- 26:52messages that he dm'd him
- 26:54while he was on the
- 26:55bachelor that's hilarious
- 26:58so then this week madaris
- 27:01and pepper got luke to come
- 27:03on and surprise hopper
- 27:05hopper's face was so red
- 27:09And tell his side of the
- 27:10story of meeting Jason and
- 27:14how it all came out.
- 27:15Oh, my gosh.
- 27:17It was great.
- 27:19The three of them are
- 27:20must-watch television right now.
- 27:22Yeah.
- 27:23These two episodes, I can't get enough.
- 27:26And they're doing one more next week.
- 27:28And they actually kind of
- 27:30said maybe they're going to
- 27:31keep it going now.
- 27:34I've heard athletes say this
- 27:35a bazillion times,
- 27:37and they last two or three episodes.
- 27:44So, yeah, it's just been great.
- 27:46And they've been very open
- 27:47and honest with each other about, like,
- 27:49stupid stuff they've done.
- 27:54Larry says, yep, that's my first.
- 27:57That will be up to Abby.
- 27:58I'm not pushing a name.
- 28:01Yeah, that's cool.
- 28:04Another great story this
- 28:05week was Justin Medeiros
- 28:08talking about this teen
- 28:09athlete that he could not beat.
- 28:13And it turned out to be George Sterner.
- 28:15Okay.
- 28:16Who has kind of disappeared
- 28:18for a little bit,
- 28:18but now he's going to be at
- 28:20Wadapalooza competing again.
- 28:22And Justin's actually excited to see him,
- 28:26to see kind of where they both are.
- 28:28Because when they were teen athletes,
- 28:29he could not touch him as a teen athlete.
- 28:34interesting george sterner
- 28:36was good yeah it's like
- 28:39that like nick paladino
- 28:40like they were so good and
- 28:41then they just kind of you
- 28:44know it was injuries faded
- 28:46out school life went to
- 28:48different things um yeah
- 28:53There was one funny moment
- 28:54where they said we could
- 28:55come on every week and then
- 28:56talk about our mental state.
- 28:58And like, I was like, yeah,
- 28:59I'll come on and go this week.
- 29:01I'm sad.
- 29:01Um, but it, it's,
- 29:07so I hope they keep it going.
- 29:09Cause it's really
- 29:09entertaining and it's just
- 29:12like three brothers trash talking, uh,
- 29:16the entire time and really well done.
- 29:18That's awesome.
- 29:22So if you have not checked those out,
- 29:24you've got to.
- 29:26The stories are worth it.
- 29:28And it's funny, I don't have this in notes,
- 29:31Bob Euchre passed away this week,
- 29:33who was an all-time legend
- 29:34baseball announcer.
- 29:36And when I was a kid,
- 29:38the baseball announcers
- 29:39were the storytellers of my generation.
- 29:41Like you would listen to
- 29:42them on the radio.
- 29:43My dad would listen to
- 29:44baseball all the time on the radio.
- 29:46And they would tell these
- 29:47stories of like when
- 29:48they're playing days and
- 29:49all the funny things they
- 29:50would do to each other and
- 29:51the practical jokes and all that.
- 29:53And that's what this show reminds me of.
- 29:57The behind the scenes,
- 29:59what they do to each other,
- 30:00how they rip on each other.
- 30:02And even,
- 30:04I think it's in the first episode,
- 30:07Hopper and Medeiros talk
- 30:08about how they didn't like each other.
- 30:11Like,
- 30:11it's just been recently that they've
- 30:13kind of gotten over that.
- 30:14Yeah.
- 30:16Yeah, when you said that trio,
- 30:19Medeiros seems a little...
- 30:21off the wall for me.
- 30:23So he's the one that keeps
- 30:24the conversation going
- 30:25better than any of the other two.
- 30:26Like he's,
- 30:27he's a lot more like he's a lot
- 30:31better as like hosting than
- 30:32the other two.
- 30:34So the premise of this,
- 30:35I think was that Hopper and
- 30:37pepper had been on the same
- 30:38team at water Palooza for a
- 30:40while and they always finished fourth.
- 30:44So they split up this year.
- 30:45Okay.
- 30:46So pepper is with Madaris.
- 30:49Okay.
- 30:51and Willie Georges.
- 30:54Hopper is with Adler and Vellner.
- 30:56Yeah.
- 30:59And they're going to see if
- 30:59they can actually get on the podium.
- 31:01Yeah.
- 31:05So, um,
- 31:11D Reed common story of a great
- 31:13junior athlete,
- 31:13not becoming a great senior athlete.
- 31:16Uh, some lack of Jenna Sequa.
- 31:19Did I say that well enough, Carolyn?
- 31:20yeah it's pretty good it was
- 31:25good all right so then we
- 31:26have the mayhem classic
- 31:28which got my teammates here
- 31:30a little fired up this week
- 31:32when it was revealed that
- 31:34they are selecting athletes
- 31:36using historical data and
- 31:37performances from the past
- 31:40to pick who they are going
- 31:43to invite to the Mayhem
- 31:44Classic as an in-person semifinal.
- 31:46So I'm going to open the
- 31:47floor to you two who, in our texturing,
- 31:51were very adamant about not
- 31:53liking this new way.
- 31:56Well,
- 31:56I just think it doesn't allow for new
- 31:58blood to be in there.
- 32:02I don't like the idea of
- 32:05going off history when you
- 32:06don't know that that
- 32:07history was going to count
- 32:08and which competitions were
- 32:09going to count and whatnot.
- 32:11Yeah.
- 32:12I think that's fine for like
- 32:13the rogue invitational and
- 32:14maybe other stuff.
- 32:15That's not necessarily,
- 32:16it's more like an
- 32:17invitational and it's their own stuff.
- 32:18But if you're going to make
- 32:19it part of the season,
- 32:20I think every current
- 32:21athlete should have some
- 32:23sort of chance of qualifying, um,
- 32:27through a, uh,
- 32:28some sort of system that
- 32:29just makes more sense.
- 32:30I mean, I get there's some exemptions for,
- 32:33uh,
- 32:33or restrictions I should say for
- 32:35certain regions,
- 32:36but I just would have liked
- 32:38to have seen a version that
- 32:40can allow current athletes
- 32:42to current or like upcoming
- 32:45athletes that haven't been
- 32:46competing or knew about
- 32:47this leaderboard from past competitions,
- 32:51a chance to go to mayhem.
- 32:54Yeah.
- 32:55Yeah, I mean, that's exactly right.
- 32:57It's not an invitational.
- 33:00Like that, I mean, that's the key thing.
- 33:02This is the platform to
- 33:04qualify for the games.
- 33:05You need a this season entry
- 33:09point to do that.
- 33:11Like fair and square
- 33:14starting new this year.
- 33:16Yeah, it's not an invitational.
- 33:17I think that's crazy to be invite only.
- 33:20like the fact,
- 33:21like if it was like during the open,
- 33:23you use that leaderboard or
- 33:25online qualifier plus, I don't know,
- 33:28a few at large invites from like,
- 33:32you could do something like that,
- 33:33but to have none of those
- 33:35be a factor and just be an
- 33:37invitational is, I don't know, to me,
- 33:40I was disappointed to see that,
- 33:42but I know that other
- 33:43people will be happy
- 33:43because they don't have to
- 33:44do their qualifiers and stuff.
- 33:46Um,
- 33:48I just want to see, I just think it,
- 33:50it shouldn't be part of
- 33:51this season like that.
- 33:52It should be like, I get it's their comp,
- 33:55but if maybe just do a
- 33:57mayhem classic and it's not
- 33:58part of the season, like it's right.
- 34:01And you can do that and you
- 34:02can make it your own rogue
- 34:04invitational mayhem invitational.
- 34:08I,
- 34:10I get what you guys are saying
- 34:11completely.
- 34:12And I can't disagree with you.
- 34:14To find the fittest on earth,
- 34:16you are finding the fittest
- 34:17on earth in twenty twenty five.
- 34:20So you don't invite the best
- 34:22from twenty twenty three.
- 34:24And twenty twenty four,
- 34:26you invite the best
- 34:27athletes from twenty twenty
- 34:28five to compete for the fittest on earth.
- 34:31We don't give out lifetime
- 34:32achievement awards as an
- 34:33invite to these games.
- 34:36Back in the day,
- 34:37we used to have if you're a past champion,
- 34:39you got to go straight to the games.
- 34:42Like some didn't even compete last year.
- 34:44Like for instance,
- 34:46like Annie's on and she
- 34:47didn't even compete last year.
- 34:48Obviously she had a baby
- 34:49coming back from that, but like, and I,
- 34:52and I get that she's won the games twice,
- 34:55been on the podium another time,
- 34:56like has all this historical,
- 34:58but like she would,
- 34:59she still didn't compete
- 35:00last year to get points and
- 35:02she'll still get an invite
- 35:05over some current athletes that have,
- 35:08been at the games last year, for instance,
- 35:10or, um, just new blood from this year,
- 35:14like this, this year,
- 35:15who are the best right now?
- 35:17Not.
- 35:19Yeah, I get it.
- 35:21Uh, you have a lot of people.
- 35:23Um, Jamie has great points.
- 35:26Uh,
- 35:26Larry young may mayhem beats to its own
- 35:28drum.
- 35:29Uh, Sarah Cooper,
- 35:30are they backfilling if people decline?
- 35:32I think Annie is in the list.
- 35:33Don't know if she is competing.
- 35:35Uh, the ladies are right.
- 35:37Shame on rich.
- 35:39Agree.
- 35:41I mean, they have like Gabby, um,
- 35:43they have Gabby there,
- 35:44but they didn't add Brent
- 35:45and like Brent would be in
- 35:46that list of people,
- 35:47but they're assuming his retirement,
- 35:49but they're not assuming
- 35:50Gabby's injury or other people's stuff,
- 35:53which was interesting
- 35:53because they could at least
- 35:55put Brent if they wanted.
- 35:56And like,
- 35:56this is not like he shouldn't be
- 35:57on that list.
- 36:00I guess they're already
- 36:00assuming about like they
- 36:02already put someone else
- 36:03versus having him there,
- 36:04allowing him to decline.
- 36:07And there's Andrew saying
- 36:08that Gabby is on there.
- 36:13The first year is just a PR stunt.
- 36:16I just, I think they just,
- 36:17I've heard Rich say he does
- 36:19not want to add another
- 36:19qualifier to the slate of
- 36:21things that you have to do.
- 36:23So use the open.
- 36:23I think they're throwing
- 36:24spaghetti at the wall and
- 36:25they didn't think it out,
- 36:28which happens a lot in CrossFit.
- 36:29We just, we just ready, fire, aim.
- 36:33Cause they're not going to
- 36:34there before the semifinals,
- 36:36like they can't use a semifinal.
- 36:37So to me it should be used.
- 36:39The open would be like the
- 36:40simple thing if they don't
- 36:41want to use a qualifier.
- 36:43Yup.
- 36:44I don't think it's intent.
- 36:46I think it's,
- 36:47they had a thought that they
- 36:48didn't want to add a competition,
- 36:50a qualifier competition to the,
- 36:54the plate of an athlete.
- 36:55There's already enough of those.
- 36:58And so they were trying to
- 36:58find a different way to do it.
- 37:00And this is just not the way
- 37:02that it should be.
- 37:06It's just clicky.
- 37:07I mean, it's just, yeah, I don't know.
- 37:13I just, it's, I mean,
- 37:13you have phenomenal athletes on that,
- 37:15on that list.
- 37:15I'm don't get me wrong.
- 37:16Um,
- 37:17I just would like to see a process
- 37:19where current athletes are represented.
- 37:24I completely agree.
- 37:29I think those are the
- 37:29athletes that are missing
- 37:30out on both seasons,
- 37:33unless there's a qualifier
- 37:34that they can sneak their
- 37:35way in or they can kill the
- 37:37open and then kill semifinals online.
- 37:45So, well, that takes us all the way to, uh,
- 37:48Waterpalooza,
- 37:50which is coming up in a week
- 37:53and I have the workouts.
- 37:56So we'll go through the
- 37:57workouts and then I just
- 37:59want your opinions on who will do well,
- 38:01who won't do well.
- 38:03Um, Clark,
- 38:05if we knew the whole season schedule,
- 38:07they could tie
- 38:07qualification to other
- 38:08sanctionals and even WFP events.
- 38:13I don't see the wfp tie-in
- 38:14yet maybe someday down the
- 38:17road but definitely not yet
- 38:22and they're the first one
- 38:23they're the first in-person
- 38:26event of the year so they
- 38:27can't really tie into
- 38:28anybody else right um so
- 38:31all right let me share a
- 38:33screen here we go all right ta-da
- 38:42So here is the tier
- 38:45Waterpalooza website where
- 38:47it has all of the individual workouts.
- 38:50We'll do those first.
- 38:52They're listed across the
- 38:53top and then it gives you
- 38:54all the different formats for it.
- 38:56And so the first one is
- 38:58Cortadito two point O.
- 39:02And that is four-time,
- 39:04thirty-twenty-ten wall balls,
- 39:06thirty and twenty pounds,
- 39:08and then hang power snatch,
- 39:10one-oh-five-seventy-five,
- 39:11right into fifteen-ten-five thrusters,
- 39:15one-forty-five-one-hundred,
- 39:16and ring muscle-ups.
- 39:22Thoughts?
- 39:25Starting with a bang.
- 39:27What changed from this from
- 39:29Cortadito one-point-oh?
- 39:33That was last year.
- 39:33So I don't really even know.
- 39:35Yeah.
- 39:40I can't remember exactly
- 39:41what one point I was.
- 39:44I could maybe do they have.
- 39:54There's quarter D to one just for you,
- 39:56Jamie.
- 39:56Jamie.
- 39:59And who knows if this is
- 40:00even what they did.
- 40:01They may have had to change
- 40:02it due to weather.
- 40:04Yeah.
- 40:05Parallel bar dips and power
- 40:07cleans into fifteen twelve
- 40:09nine shoulder overhead bar muscle ups.
- 40:12OK.
- 40:14Yeah, I think that got changed last year.
- 40:17But like deadlifts or something.
- 40:20And perfect.
- 40:21Yeah, those dips were trash in that event,
- 40:25I feel like.
- 40:27Yeah.
- 40:29Huh, yeah.
- 40:31I think it's a good workout.
- 40:32Normally with a ring muscle-up workout,
- 40:33I like someone like Vellner,
- 40:36but I think that's a lot of
- 40:37pressing with the thrusters,
- 40:39the wall balls.
- 40:39I'm not sure how his
- 40:41pressing is going to be.
- 40:42That's normally a weakness,
- 40:43but I feel like Vellner
- 40:45should do well in this one.
- 40:46He normally does well at
- 40:48this type of stuff.
- 40:50Jeff should have no issue here.
- 40:53Tristan is telling me this
- 40:54is the last event of the weekend.
- 40:56Hmm.
- 40:57So I don't know why they
- 40:58have them in this order on
- 41:00their website and then they change it.
- 41:06But I will look at the
- 41:07schedule here real quick
- 41:08while you guys are talking about it.
- 41:13On the female side, I mean,
- 41:15Laura should do well.
- 41:18Lawson normally does very
- 41:19well with ring muscle-ups.
- 41:21She doesn't normally
- 41:22particularly like thrusters,
- 41:24so it'll be interesting to
- 41:26see how she does there.
- 41:29Raptus and Ariel Lowen are very good.
- 41:33I feel like Lowen has really
- 41:35good wall balls, great grip strength.
- 41:37I think someone like Lowen
- 41:38could do very well here.
- 41:40She also does well in ring
- 41:41muscle-up workouts.
- 41:45That is the last event of the weekend.
- 41:49I mean,
- 41:50someone like Austin had filled with
- 41:51the shorter range of motion
- 41:53could do well on that second part.
- 41:55We know at the games when he
- 41:57won those thrusters with
- 42:00the chest of bar and the bar muscle up.
- 42:01So if you pace, if he paces well,
- 42:05that first half, um,
- 42:06he could have a good kick
- 42:08on that second part.
- 42:09It's a good pick.
- 42:15Okay.
- 42:16So let's go to the real first event.
- 42:21which is two rounds too many.
- 42:26Oh, this is the weighted vest one.
- 42:29And it is two rounds for time.
- 42:33Fifty, forty calorie bike,
- 42:35thousand meter run,
- 42:36hundred and fifty bucks
- 42:37step up or jump overs, twenty inch across,
- 42:40round one with a vest,
- 42:41round two without a vest.
- 42:46Is it an actual run or a runner?
- 42:50think it's gonna be on the
- 42:50sand they would have I
- 42:52think they would have said
- 42:52assault okay runner you've
- 42:56been waiting we're here to
- 42:57deliver while you guys are
- 43:04talking I'll just let him
- 43:07and hopefully he'll show us
- 43:10I think someone like james
- 43:11can do well here
- 43:13Um,
- 43:14he did well with the Chad and he knows
- 43:17he's good runner.
- 43:18He's good on the, on the machines,
- 43:19a little bit taller for
- 43:21those step-ups should be fine.
- 43:24That's a lot of step-ups or box jumps.
- 43:27Curious to see what the
- 43:28standard is for that.
- 43:29And that's a lot.
- 43:31That's so many.
- 43:33Like three hundred total.
- 43:35Yeah, that is insane.
- 43:38After.
- 43:40I mean, it.
- 43:41Yeah.
- 43:41It's really going to come
- 43:42down to back jump over
- 43:43speed a little bit of the run.
- 43:45And I almost don't even
- 43:46think the bike's going to
- 43:46have much play in it.
- 43:48I think a taller athlete is
- 43:50going to do well here on
- 43:53the woman's side.
- 43:54I mean, trying to think of Emily.
- 44:00Yeah.
- 44:00It's Emily.
- 44:01Yeah.
- 44:01This is a great one for Emily.
- 44:02She's great on,
- 44:03on really all three of these.
- 44:06Yeah.
- 44:07Yeah.
- 44:07I could see someone like
- 44:08Emily doing really well here.
- 44:12And James as well on the men's side.
- 44:14Yes.
- 44:17James is an excellent pick.
- 44:19And those are the two that won Chad,
- 44:21right?
- 44:21Yep.
- 44:22Yep.
- 44:23Yep.
- 44:23And they're both good
- 44:24runners and good on the bike.
- 44:26Like,
- 44:26I think those two will be favorites
- 44:30to win this one.
- 44:32Yeah.
- 44:32Yeah.
- 44:33Or at least all threes.
- 44:35Chris G says this it's on hard sand.
- 44:38They get to run on hard sand.
- 44:40Like by the water?
- 44:41Yeah.
- 44:46I still think Jeff can do well.
- 44:49Just his conditioning in
- 44:51general is just above everyone.
- 44:53He's an excellent runner.
- 44:55Yeah.
- 44:58Okay.
- 45:00So then the next one is
- 45:03Ocean Drive Drag Race.
- 45:08Which is this one.
- 45:11which is four time.
- 45:13Oh my gosh.
- 45:15Uh, twenty-one, eighteen calorie row,
- 45:18twenty-one toes to bar, sled drag,
- 45:20one minute rest, eighteen,
- 45:22fifteen calorie row, eighteen toes to bar,
- 45:25sled drag, one minute rest, fifteen,
- 45:29twelve, fifteen, sled drag,
- 45:32and the sled weights are round one light,
- 45:34round two medium, round three heavy.
- 45:37Thank you for the specifics.
- 45:40I think Laura Horvath runs
- 45:41away with this one.
- 45:43Like everyone's unbroken on
- 45:44those toes to bars.
- 45:45She's gonna be able to out
- 45:46row that whole field and
- 45:49we'll have no issues with the sled.
- 45:51Like to me, like I have, like,
- 45:54you're going to have to row
- 45:55at an uncomfortable pace
- 45:56and then be able to hold on unbroken.
- 46:00Um, for those drags were in the sand,
- 46:04right?
- 46:06I'm assuming,
- 46:07which I don't love because
- 46:09depending on what lane you have,
- 46:11sled just has such a
- 46:12friction factor and it can
- 46:14depend a lot on just how
- 46:17straight it is and many factors there.
- 46:22Do we know the distance of the sled drag?
- 46:30We don't.
- 46:33This is a little weird.
- 46:34I
- 46:36I almost would have rather
- 46:37just seen it be like the two, two,
- 46:43three intervals with the
- 46:45moving the sled a max distance each time,
- 46:49like as much as you can.
- 46:50I don't know.
- 46:50This is a little weird.
- 46:52The judging of the rest is
- 46:53going to be weird.
- 46:55It is in the sandbox.
- 46:58The rain sandbox is what
- 46:59it's being called.
- 47:02Yeah, I don't know.
- 47:05The first two events are in the sandbox.
- 47:14Then the last one of the day
- 47:17is high stakes tightropes.
- 47:23that is seventy five the
- 47:26lights heavy double unders
- 47:28ninety foot handstand walk
- 47:30twenty one wall facing
- 47:31handstand push-ups each arm
- 47:34twelve a single arm
- 47:35dumbbell snatch plus twelve
- 47:38single arm overhead
- 47:39dumbbell lunge six four
- 47:42legless rope climbs and
- 47:44then back the other way jesus
- 47:48I think Laura does really well again.
- 47:51I think someone like Anika
- 47:52will do well here.
- 47:54She's got good legless, good on her hands.
- 47:57Alexis Raptus,
- 48:00great on her hands and good with legless.
- 48:04Um, but like,
- 48:05I was really impressed at
- 48:06robe invitational with Laura,
- 48:08with that handstand walk
- 48:09and heavy double unders.
- 48:11And there's no one that has
- 48:12better grip strength in her.
- 48:13So yeah, for the females,
- 48:15I would say those would stand out.
- 48:20Oh, wait, wall facing handstand pushups.
- 48:21I missed that.
- 48:22I was wondering how it's wall facing.
- 48:24Did you say two inch or twenty one?
- 48:28I can't read that.
- 48:29Twenty one.
- 48:30Okay.
- 48:31Okay.
- 48:35Uh, I feel like that's her.
- 48:37I feel like that one's not as bad for her.
- 48:40The wall facing handstand pushup.
- 48:41Yeah.
- 48:43I think the, I don't,
- 48:44I don't think she'll be stuck on it.
- 48:46Like she was on the rogue
- 48:49invitational one with the
- 48:51wall walk prior.
- 48:52Yeah.
- 48:53I think this will be less
- 48:55taxing on the shoulders.
- 48:56Then the complex of the
- 48:57rogue invitational is very
- 48:59taxing on the shoulders.
- 49:01Um,
- 49:03like I you know what the
- 49:05more I look at it I think
- 49:06someone like alexis could
- 49:07do I think alexis damage
- 49:09here yep I do like annika
- 49:11still though I just like a
- 49:14little dark horse here I'm
- 49:16not extremely familiar with
- 49:18like lydia fish's legless
- 49:21yeah um but I think she
- 49:24could do well here I think
- 49:28ariel and emily are gonna
- 49:29be good here too oh yeah
- 49:33I'm trying to think of who
- 49:35else is Danielle going
- 49:37individual or just team.
- 49:40No, I don't know the answer to that.
- 49:42I think she's just team.
- 49:44I think,
- 49:44I think while facing handstand pushups,
- 49:46slow her down.
- 49:48I think she's going to be in
- 49:48Laura's boat on this one.
- 49:51I think wish hearts going to
- 49:52do well here too.
- 49:54She's really,
- 49:55really good with legless firefighter.
- 49:59She did really well.
- 50:00I think she won.
- 50:01At Crash Crucible,
- 50:02that deficit handstand pushup,
- 50:05she's got great upper body strength,
- 50:09stamina.
- 50:12I can see her doing well here too.
- 50:14Just throw on some names
- 50:15that people might not think
- 50:18of on the field.
- 50:19With all those box step-ups
- 50:20you've done earlier in the
- 50:21day and the running in the sand,
- 50:24how will that affect your
- 50:25lunge in this event?
- 50:28It's not a lunging event.
- 50:29Okay.
- 50:36Okay.
- 50:36Like the lunch here is more
- 50:37like it's the upper that's the shoulders.
- 50:39That's more with the single
- 50:41arm overhead lunch,
- 50:42but I don't think it has any factor.
- 50:48Okay, on the men.
- 50:51I mean, Jeff Adler should do well, Ricky.
- 50:57Trying to think of
- 51:03isn't isn't this kind of
- 51:04like a pat um no no for the
- 51:10rope climbs yes yeah but I
- 51:13don't he's not particularly
- 51:15super super fast on his
- 51:16hands like he's a really
- 51:18good gymnast his his
- 51:20pulling strength is better
- 51:21than his pressing uh right endurance
- 51:26He's got long arms.
- 51:27He's got those monkey arms like that.
- 51:30That doesn't help the hand.
- 51:31You know,
- 51:31when you go up against someone
- 51:33like Austin.
- 51:35Yeah.
- 51:35Hatfield's arms doing those
- 51:37handstand pushup.
- 51:38It's just, it's just not fair.
- 51:43All right.
- 51:44So the next event is worth the wait,
- 51:48which is.
- 51:51I want to look at this one.
- 51:55Is this a lift?
- 51:58Four max load, three attempts,
- 51:59one rep max clean and hang clean.
- 52:06Got some heavy hitters out here.
- 52:09Got some lifters in the crowd.
- 52:11I mean, Jack Farlow, Guy,
- 52:15Austin on the men's side.
- 52:16On the female side,
- 52:17you got to look at Laura.
- 52:21Danny, Kyra.
- 52:23Danny, yeah.
- 52:25Olivia?
- 52:27Is she going individual or just the team?
- 52:30Yeah, I don't know.
- 52:30I'm not sure.
- 52:32Yeah.
- 52:39Annika's got a good clean too.
- 52:41A lot of strong girls here.
- 52:48Laura, Spiegel, Kyra would probably be my
- 52:55My top ones, maybe.
- 52:57And then Guy's in this, right?
- 53:00Yeah.
- 53:01Guy, Jack, I think are my top two.
- 53:07Adler should do well here, too.
- 53:09All right.
- 53:15Then we have Cuban Press.
- 53:18Ooh.
- 53:21Which is...
- 53:25Four-time,
- 53:26twenty-five chest-to-bar pull-ups,
- 53:28twenty-five burpees over the blocks.
- 53:33Yeah.
- 53:33Fifty dumbbell bench press,
- 53:36twenty-five burpee over the blocks,
- 53:38and twenty-five chest-to-bar pull-ups.
- 53:41Seventy and fifty-five.
- 53:42I'm assuming those are the
- 53:43ballistic blocks,
- 53:44and they're going to bench
- 53:45on those as well?
- 53:46Well,
- 53:51I didn't think about dumb benching on it,
- 53:52but...
- 53:56I did a comp locally where
- 53:57they used ballistic blocks
- 53:59and that we benched on them.
- 54:00Interesting.
- 54:03I don't think they will,
- 54:04but that would be interesting.
- 54:06I mean,
- 54:07I look at this workout and I just
- 54:08think about who's going to
- 54:10be the best at the bench press.
- 54:13I think the pull-ups at this
- 54:14level for the elites is unbroken.
- 54:20The burpees,
- 54:21you can make up some ground on
- 54:22some speed cycle there.
- 54:26And like that, that middle pressing, um,
- 54:30if you're, if you're breaking,
- 54:31how long are you breaking for?
- 54:33What's your range of motion?
- 54:34I mean, this is a short person workout.
- 54:36Yup.
- 54:36This is like this entire
- 54:38thing is range of motion
- 54:41can play a huge factor.
- 54:44Um, and how many sets people are doing.
- 54:54So Tristan says, this one is actually,
- 54:56you do your chest to bar,
- 54:57you run and get your blocks,
- 54:59then do your burpees over them.
- 55:01Then you run and get your
- 55:02dumbbells and bench.
- 55:05Then you take the dumbbells back,
- 55:07do your burpees, take your blocks back,
- 55:10then do the chest to bar again.
- 55:11So there's some transition
- 55:13work that's going to be
- 55:13playing a factor here as well.
- 55:17For sure.
- 55:19If that's the flow.
- 55:20Thanks for that.
- 55:21Um, Tristan.
- 55:27Yeah.
- 55:28It's a fun workout.
- 55:30Yeah.
- 55:31For these athletes,
- 55:32seventy pounds is going to
- 55:33be nothing on that bench press.
- 55:35Right.
- 55:35It's how fast the blood is
- 55:37going to rush to the
- 55:38shoulders and then how
- 55:40tight you're going to get
- 55:41and how much you can figure
- 55:44out the right pace to make
- 55:45it the whole way without
- 55:46too much breakage.
- 55:49I think someone like Luke
- 55:50Parker can do well in this workout,
- 55:52not win it, but no close to a top five.
- 55:55I'm just looking at the list of guys here.
- 55:58That's competing.
- 56:03He's Tristan says it's only four.
- 56:04He bench.
- 56:10Just going off the website, my friend.
- 56:17I,
- 56:17I mean,
- 56:17I think like Ariel will do good at this.
- 56:24Yeah.
- 56:24Men's.
- 56:26Yeah.
- 56:27Oh yeah.
- 56:27I don't think is competing individually.
- 56:29I don't think she's competing at water.
- 56:33She was.
- 56:33And then I think she got
- 56:34replaced by Doma Domet on
- 56:36the team side of things.
- 56:37I don't think she's doing individual.
- 56:39She was,
- 56:40she had some sort of injury late
- 56:41recently that she was dealing with.
- 56:43Okay.
- 56:48Tristan said they corrected
- 56:49it in the virtual brief
- 56:51that it's only forty.
- 56:55It's just a straight-up sprint.
- 56:57Yeah.
- 56:59It's a range of motion thing.
- 57:00I don't know.
- 57:04I mean, Kyra could probably do well here.
- 57:06I think Kyra could do well here.
- 57:09Great puller.
- 57:10I'm assuming that bench is super strong.
- 57:13Short for the burpees.
- 57:14Yes.
- 57:17So then after all that,
- 57:18we actually come back and
- 57:19do quarter D to two,
- 57:23which is the wall balls,
- 57:24the hang power snatch right
- 57:27into the thrusters and ring muscle ups.
- 57:31I like that workout.
- 57:39Yeah.
- 57:40I'm a tall also.
- 57:42I am at all depending on her shoulder.
- 57:45I don't know how her lot is.
- 57:48I think it was her lot that
- 57:49she had issues with recently.
- 57:52So I don't know where she is
- 57:53in terms of her recovery.
- 57:55If this is just kind of like
- 57:56testing it out.
- 57:58All right, so let's look at teams.
- 58:11will be on the weekend let
- 58:15me see if I can find the
- 58:16order of that there we go
- 58:20so overhead squad is the
- 58:22first event that is thirty
- 58:29overhead squats twenty
- 58:31overhead squats ten
- 58:32overhead squats you pick
- 58:35your athlete that does
- 58:35which one I'm assuming you see what I see
- 58:42I'm not so sure on that.
- 58:46That's a good question, Carolyn.
- 58:50I think that's what it should be.
- 58:53Like one does a lighter one for more reps,
- 58:55tags in.
- 58:56I don't know.
- 58:57I guess I haven't looked at
- 58:57the details of it.
- 59:00And these videos don't really tell.
- 59:04That's what I thought.
- 59:05They can do it in any order
- 59:06and switch when they want.
- 59:07Because Haley was practicing this one.
- 59:14switch even on the same
- 59:16movement or you have to
- 59:17have that person do no I
- 59:19think you could you could
- 59:20each do ten on the light
- 59:21bar and then each do yeah
- 59:24gotcha team wise I'm trying
- 59:28to think of the teams seems
- 59:32like someone like Madero's
- 59:34has great overhead mobility
- 59:38like I think Dallin
- 59:41Pepper's team with Justin can do well
- 59:44willie if his shoulder is
- 59:46healthy that's nothing for
- 59:48him yeah that's pretty good
- 59:51I think I think this
- 59:52screams spiegel kyra olivia
- 59:56like I mean yeah can I can
- 1:00:03I just say like if you want
- 1:00:05to grow the sport hiding
- 1:00:08the details of like how this works
- 1:00:10makes it impossible to the
- 1:00:12fans to know what the
- 1:00:13hell's going on I agree why
- 1:00:15why does it have to be so
- 1:00:16secretive yeah it needs to
- 1:00:21be blatantly obvious so
- 1:00:22that people can be like
- 1:00:25practicing this stuff the right way.
- 1:00:26Like that's why you get
- 1:00:28athletes claiming ignorance
- 1:00:30or doing things that, you know,
- 1:00:32cause it's not spelled out clear.
- 1:00:34Or judges,
- 1:00:34you just make it easy on the judges.
- 1:00:36Cause how many times, I mean,
- 1:00:38I've seen at Waterpalooza
- 1:00:39where things just change
- 1:00:41from one heat to the next
- 1:00:42on what people were briefed.
- 1:00:44And like,
- 1:00:45if you release it early to the judges,
- 1:00:47to the athletes,
- 1:00:48it just prevents so many
- 1:00:50questions and heat issues.
- 1:00:56I know the flow is at the bottom,
- 1:00:57but there's a couple of
- 1:00:58these workouts that I... It
- 1:00:59still doesn't tell you you
- 1:01:00can go in any order and
- 1:01:01switch back and forth.
- 1:01:03I read the flow with Haley
- 1:01:04on several of them and was
- 1:01:07extremely confused.
- 1:01:08And that's just ridiculous.
- 1:01:12It's awful.
- 1:01:14It should not be this hard.
- 1:01:15Yep.
- 1:01:18It shouldn't be.
- 1:01:20All right.
- 1:01:21Number two workout for the
- 1:01:23teams is block party workout.
- 1:01:26There we go.
- 1:01:28Here we are.
- 1:01:30Three rounds for time.
- 1:01:31Team block, carry, and sled drag.
- 1:01:34Twenty-seven bar muscle-ups.
- 1:01:37Athlete one, twelve.
- 1:01:38Athlete two, nine.
- 1:01:40Athlete three, six.
- 1:01:41Team block, carry,
- 1:01:42and sled drag into
- 1:01:44twenty-seven single burpees.
- 1:01:46Fun.
- 1:01:46I like this one.
- 1:01:55Thoughts, Carolyn?
- 1:01:56I like it.
- 1:01:57I'm just trying to think of teams.
- 1:01:58On the women's side,
- 1:01:59I like Lawson's team with
- 1:02:00Daniel Brandon and Shelby Neal.
- 1:02:02I think that should be a good team here.
- 1:02:04Ariel Lowen with Rolf
- 1:02:06Indomit should do well here.
- 1:02:08I'm trying to think of who else.
- 1:02:13Is Sprague doing team?
- 1:02:19I don't think I've seen him on a team.
- 1:02:21I think Haley should do well
- 1:02:22with the Wells sisters.
- 1:02:28I mean,
- 1:02:28the girls' side of teams is much
- 1:02:30deeper than the guys' side
- 1:02:32of teams of three.
- 1:02:35This year, anyways.
- 1:02:40Vice says it doesn't solve
- 1:02:41the issue for fans,
- 1:02:43but they did already do the
- 1:02:44athlete briefing, right?
- 1:02:45So the athletes know the
- 1:02:46details at this point.
- 1:02:48Yeah,
- 1:02:49and that's great that the athletes
- 1:02:50know what they're supposed to do,
- 1:02:52but I don't know how many
- 1:02:53times I've been in an event
- 1:02:55where I've had to pull a
- 1:02:56judge to the side and ask
- 1:02:59what the standard is so
- 1:03:00that I can cover it and
- 1:03:02actually make a logical
- 1:03:04assessment as to what's going on.
- 1:03:07When Jamie and I are at events,
- 1:03:09we're doing that constantly
- 1:03:11because it's not explained.
- 1:03:14They should put the athlete
- 1:03:15brief out for us all to watch.
- 1:03:20yeah absolutely and
- 1:03:22everybody knows what the
- 1:03:23expectation is but I mean
- 1:03:27even the announcers you can
- 1:03:28tell they don't always know
- 1:03:30it's like uh well and it's
- 1:03:33because sometimes it gets
- 1:03:34changed last minute and
- 1:03:35they yeah they won't have
- 1:03:36the flexibility to do that
- 1:03:37but maybe we shouldn't be
- 1:03:39doing that last minute right all right
- 1:03:46I think on the men's side of that one,
- 1:03:47I like Chandler Smith's team with Noah.
- 1:03:52I think they should do well here.
- 1:03:54Some good explosive burpees.
- 1:03:56Like I feel like they're fast.
- 1:04:00And Travis, right?
- 1:04:02Yeah.
- 1:04:02Travis and Noah.
- 1:04:04Yeah.
- 1:04:09All right.
- 1:04:09The third workout of the day
- 1:04:10is warm up hands down.
- 1:04:15so here we go fifteen worm
- 1:04:19clean and jerks twenty
- 1:04:21fifteen calorie echo bike
- 1:04:23each relay to fifteen meter
- 1:04:26handstand walk twenty
- 1:04:30fifteen calorie echo bike
- 1:04:31each fifteen worm clean and jerks
- 1:04:38it's going to be, I mean,
- 1:04:39it's going to come down to
- 1:04:40teams that have practiced
- 1:04:41on worms together.
- 1:04:42Yeah.
- 1:04:43The, the,
- 1:04:43the worm clean and jerk is the
- 1:04:44hardest of all the worm movements, um,
- 1:04:48from my experience with it.
- 1:04:50So this one definitely,
- 1:04:51if you've touched the worm
- 1:04:52together as a team will
- 1:04:54play a huge factor.
- 1:04:55And a lot of these teams
- 1:04:56have never touched a worm before.
- 1:04:57Most of them being like
- 1:04:58individual athletes,
- 1:04:59some of them might be
- 1:05:00spinning the wrong way,
- 1:05:01especially if some of the
- 1:05:02worms in the warmup area,
- 1:05:03they can't touch as much
- 1:05:04because it just gets crowded in there.
- 1:05:07Um,
- 1:05:08Yeah, this one will come down to the warm,
- 1:05:11clean, and jerk.
- 1:05:12Because even if you're a
- 1:05:12couple seconds off of each
- 1:05:15other on the echo bike,
- 1:05:18it really is about the warm, clean,
- 1:05:20and jerk.
- 1:05:26So teams that have worked
- 1:05:27together in the past, like Inoa, Travis,
- 1:05:31Sandler,
- 1:05:32are going to be better at this
- 1:05:33than teams that don't do this every day.
- 1:05:36Yep, yep.
- 1:05:39And just having a confident
- 1:05:41person on the worm that is
- 1:05:42kind of directing the pace
- 1:05:45and the timing of
- 1:05:46everything is going to be
- 1:05:47super important.
- 1:05:49You know,
- 1:05:50who's going to lead for each team is,
- 1:05:53you know,
- 1:05:53if you have too many people
- 1:05:54trying to go on their own paces,
- 1:05:57that can be detrimental to the team.
- 1:06:01If you remember last year,
- 1:06:02there was like kind of a,
- 1:06:05a dawning of a new age where
- 1:06:07the European athletes that
- 1:06:08work together more often,
- 1:06:09we're doing better in the
- 1:06:10team competition than the
- 1:06:12names we knew that were like super teams.
- 1:06:15Do you think that'll continue this year?
- 1:06:20I mean, in a workout like this,
- 1:06:22you could definitely like
- 1:06:23in a workout like this,
- 1:06:24if you have three team games, athletes,
- 1:06:26they can for sure be three individual.
- 1:06:30like athletes people that
- 1:06:31have really like good
- 1:06:33experience on the worm can
- 1:06:36for sure be three more fit
- 1:06:39individual here okay so
- 1:06:44then we start sunday
- 1:06:45morning with race to the
- 1:06:47top race to the top is the
- 1:06:50first one that is four time
- 1:06:54one to ten rope climbs
- 1:06:57box jump overs all three
- 1:07:00alternating thirty six
- 1:07:01thirty and cleans at two
- 1:07:03fifty five one seventy five
- 1:07:06I did this one with hayley
- 1:07:07it's not really so you do
- 1:07:10one rope climb one box jump
- 1:07:12over each clean yes so then
- 1:07:17two yes so everyone always
- 1:07:19has a box jump and this is
- 1:07:20one was I was very confused on like
- 1:07:24the where will you the
- 1:07:25athletes stand will they
- 1:07:27always be standing at the
- 1:07:28box and then like someone
- 1:07:31goes to the rope and does a
- 1:07:33rope climb or can they all
- 1:07:34go to the rope together and
- 1:07:35then all go to the box and
- 1:07:37or I don't know this one
- 1:07:40this one is very transition
- 1:07:42dependent so like I think
- 1:07:46knowing the flow of this
- 1:07:47one is extremely important um
- 1:07:51I w I would think you'd be
- 1:07:53standing out the box, but then again,
- 1:07:54if that's the case, then,
- 1:07:56and you can only send one person,
- 1:07:58the rope, you,
- 1:07:58you probably need to like
- 1:08:00really be strategic about
- 1:08:02on the round of five.
- 1:08:03Like you send somebody who's
- 1:08:04doing all five or do you do
- 1:08:05three and two or, and that just,
- 1:08:07I don't know.
- 1:08:09You need no flow on this one.
- 1:08:10So you have fifty-five rope climbs,
- 1:08:13fifty-five cleans and yeah.
- 1:08:15Okay.
- 1:08:21Yeah.
- 1:08:24And it doesn't need to be alternating.
- 1:08:25It just split it up how you want.
- 1:08:27Yeah.
- 1:08:29From what I can tell.
- 1:08:30Yeah, exactly.
- 1:08:30Like I could have done one,
- 1:08:33one rope climb.
- 1:08:34We all would do the box jump.
- 1:08:35Right.
- 1:08:36And then Haley could have
- 1:08:38went to the clean and then, I mean,
- 1:08:41I could have gone back to the rope.
- 1:08:42Like I, you know,
- 1:08:43I think you could hide your,
- 1:08:44I could think you could put
- 1:08:44your gymnast on the rope
- 1:08:45for the most part and your heavy,
- 1:08:48heavier person on the,
- 1:08:51clean,
- 1:08:52but you're going to want to break it
- 1:08:53up a little.
- 1:08:54Yeah.
- 1:08:54That's high volume.
- 1:08:56Yeah.
- 1:09:02Okay.
- 1:09:04I mean,
- 1:09:05I think it's going to be a rope
- 1:09:07climb workout for the most
- 1:09:10part speed there.
- 1:09:14Just like how fast you get off,
- 1:09:15hold your rope for your
- 1:09:16partner to go on that transition time.
- 1:09:18There can play a factor.
- 1:09:19Yeah.
- 1:09:19Yeah.
- 1:09:22I think it'd be better if it was legless.
- 1:09:24Oof.
- 1:09:27I think that would be too much.
- 1:09:28That's too many.
- 1:09:30That wouldn't work,
- 1:09:32especially for the girls.
- 1:09:33Yeah.
- 1:09:34I want to separate it.
- 1:09:36Fifty-five legless would be ridiculous.
- 1:09:39It would be bad, Scott.
- 1:09:42We're not there.
- 1:09:43I want a train wreck.
- 1:09:46No.
- 1:09:48That would be almost twenty
- 1:09:49legless in a workout for most
- 1:09:54No, no, no.
- 1:09:54So now we're three, three, three, four,
- 1:09:59which is three, three, three,
- 1:10:01four minute rounds.
- 1:10:03Each round buy-in at the same time,
- 1:10:06sixty velites, heavy dubs,
- 1:10:08five hundred meter,
- 1:10:09four hundred meter assault row,
- 1:10:11four hundred meter assault run.
- 1:10:13With remaining time,
- 1:10:15complete sixty synchro,
- 1:10:18single arm dumbbell thrusters.
- 1:10:20Forty synchro single arm
- 1:10:22dumbbell snatches.
- 1:10:24Twenty synchro single arm
- 1:10:27devil press and thruster.
- 1:10:32This one's crazy to me.
- 1:10:33There's no there's no rest at all.
- 1:10:36Like and you got to decide
- 1:10:38when you're stopping the
- 1:10:45Like,
- 1:10:45you got to be smart about when you
- 1:10:46stop doing your thrusters
- 1:10:48and get back to that machine so you're,
- 1:10:49like, ready to go.
- 1:10:50Or you're just going to
- 1:10:51trail further and further
- 1:10:52behind in each buy-in.
- 1:10:58Oh, this one's going to be gross.
- 1:11:04You didn't try this one?
- 1:11:06I did not.
- 1:11:07I told Haley she needs... I
- 1:11:09said I would try it with her.
- 1:11:11Just more so to, like, time the...
- 1:11:15dub and runner I don't have
- 1:11:19a the heavy rope though I
- 1:11:20have like I have the hades
- 1:11:22rope we could use that but
- 1:11:23it's a little bit different
- 1:11:24because that's like the
- 1:11:25velites is the heavy handle
- 1:11:27yeah I've never I've never
- 1:11:32used that rope is it is it
- 1:11:34heavy handle and cable I
- 1:11:36think it's a kind of heavy
- 1:11:38cable nothing like less
- 1:11:40heavy than the rogue heavy
- 1:11:43yes I believe so
- 1:11:48Lynn says, this is spicy,
- 1:11:50like choose your devil type of thing.
- 1:11:52Yeah.
- 1:11:55And yuck on the devil's breast thrusters.
- 1:12:00I mean, that's kind of what it is anyway,
- 1:12:02right?
- 1:12:02Well, you get the squat.
- 1:12:05Yeah.
- 1:12:06When you have like the all females go,
- 1:12:08like the assault runner is
- 1:12:09the slowest one.
- 1:12:10Right.
- 1:12:11Because four hundred meter
- 1:12:12row and sixty dubs is
- 1:12:16faster than four hundred meter run.
- 1:12:18Right.
- 1:12:19So whoever is able to go off
- 1:12:22of that and write into.
- 1:12:26I think the,
- 1:12:27I think the runner is going to be slow,
- 1:12:29like all around.
- 1:12:30Yeah.
- 1:12:31All around.
- 1:12:31Yeah.
- 1:12:32I would say, well, and yeah.
- 1:12:37And do you keep that?
- 1:12:38Like you probably put your runner.
- 1:12:40Yeah.
- 1:12:40Like if you, if Emily Rolfes on your team,
- 1:12:42you probably put her on the
- 1:12:43runner each time.
- 1:12:46They have the best endurance
- 1:12:47so they can like pick up
- 1:12:49and do the next of it faster.
- 1:12:55This one's crazy.
- 1:12:56This one will be very
- 1:12:57interesting to watch.
- 1:13:00And then we finish up with
- 1:13:02the trio triplets.
- 1:13:08The trio triplet is.
- 1:13:14One hundred and fifty ping
- 1:13:15pong wall balls.
- 1:13:17At thirty twenty seventy
- 1:13:19five synchro toes to bar two people.
- 1:13:22One hundred and fifty foot worm lunge.
- 1:13:31Have you ever done these
- 1:13:32ping pong wall balls, Carolyn?
- 1:13:34Is it the one where you just
- 1:13:35throw it to each other?
- 1:13:36I had that yesterday with Lex.
- 1:13:38it like,
- 1:13:39like you're standing next to each other.
- 1:13:41And yeah, that's what I,
- 1:13:42that's what I think it is.
- 1:13:44There's no, again, this one has no,
- 1:13:45that's what me and Lex had
- 1:13:47yesterday in a comp, but like,
- 1:13:49it was like a,
- 1:13:50but we didn't both have to
- 1:13:51squat every time.
- 1:13:52It was like, you,
- 1:13:53you did your wall ball and then,
- 1:13:54then she caught and did hers.
- 1:13:56And then I did mine.
- 1:13:57So you had like a rest every time,
- 1:13:59but that's the way that I
- 1:14:00had it yesterday.
- 1:14:01I don't know what the
- 1:14:02standard would be here.
- 1:14:04Um,
- 1:14:06I would assume that's probably it.
- 1:14:07But, and then,
- 1:14:08and then if you switch somebody out,
- 1:14:10which you're going to
- 1:14:11switch people in and out,
- 1:14:14you got to be quick about
- 1:14:15that transition.
- 1:14:17You can do it without breaking.
- 1:14:19Sure.
- 1:14:21I can see a mess happening though.
- 1:14:22Like, oh man.
- 1:14:25I'm just looking at the movements.
- 1:14:27Like they've had wall balls
- 1:14:28for the individuals,
- 1:14:30lunges and toaster bars for
- 1:14:31the individuals.
- 1:14:34So I thought that there's
- 1:14:35going to be less overlap
- 1:14:37with the movements,
- 1:14:38but there's still some.
- 1:14:42That was one of my questions
- 1:14:43to you at the end of this is,
- 1:14:46did they do a good job of
- 1:14:48not overlapping too many of
- 1:14:50the movements?
- 1:14:53Like there's no max lift for the teams,
- 1:14:55right?
- 1:14:55Just that overhead squat, I guess.
- 1:14:58Is there a lifting one?
- 1:15:00No, just the overhead squat.
- 1:15:02We just did nothing to clean.
- 1:15:05I mean, for those athletes doing both,
- 1:15:06it's just high volume in general,
- 1:15:07but I'm sure they're
- 1:15:10prepared for those four days.
- 1:15:13Starts on Thursday, Thursday, Friday,
- 1:15:14individual Saturday, Sunday teams.
- 1:15:16Correct.
- 1:15:19It's kind of a, I mean,
- 1:15:20there's kind of a lot of squatting,
- 1:15:23lunges,
- 1:15:24squatting amongst the whole weekend.
- 1:15:27Some thrusters.
- 1:15:31That's all right.
- 1:15:31They can handle it.
- 1:15:39See, this is where I think, like,
- 1:15:42if your season is going to
- 1:15:43be more compacted,
- 1:15:47are you going to want to do
- 1:15:48an event like Guadalupe and
- 1:15:50do both and kill yourself with.
- 1:15:55Twelve workouts.
- 1:15:58Instead of six or none
- 1:16:00before you get into like a
- 1:16:02more compacted season.
- 1:16:04Yes, because there's money here.
- 1:16:08Yeah.
- 1:16:08There's a lot of money to win.
- 1:16:11You peak for this one.
- 1:16:12You peak for the ones that
- 1:16:13have the most money.
- 1:16:17You go after the money.
- 1:16:20This is one of the most
- 1:16:21highest paid competitions,
- 1:16:23which is also why there's a
- 1:16:24lot of great teams getting formed.
- 1:16:27On the individual side,
- 1:16:28it's loaded this year.
- 1:16:29More people doing both this year than...
- 1:16:32Yeah, I mean,
- 1:16:32if you're going to be
- 1:16:33traveling and paying to stay,
- 1:16:35may as well make a weekend
- 1:16:36of it and try to get money both sides.
- 1:16:38Like, you know,
- 1:16:40that's some – if you're
- 1:16:43talented enough that you
- 1:16:45have a chance at winning some stuff, like,
- 1:16:46you go for it.
- 1:16:49That's my mentality anyways.
- 1:16:52So any overall thoughts on
- 1:16:54who's going to have a good weekend?
- 1:16:57I think the usuals.
- 1:16:59Yeah.
- 1:16:59Yeah.
- 1:17:02it's a lot of classic CrossFit.
- 1:17:03I don't, I don't expect too much of like,
- 1:17:07I mean,
- 1:17:07every year there's going to be one
- 1:17:08or two athletes that we
- 1:17:10maybe haven't known as much
- 1:17:11and they're going to have a
- 1:17:12great weekend.
- 1:17:12And these happen to be six grid workouts.
- 1:17:16Um, like in a weekend of six events,
- 1:17:17like sometimes it just
- 1:17:20falls into the hands of
- 1:17:21someone that has these, um,
- 1:17:24these good workouts.
- 1:17:25Like you just don't get
- 1:17:26exposed as much as a longer weekend of,
- 1:17:30the games,
- 1:17:30which might have twelve to
- 1:17:31fifteen events.
- 1:17:34But I think for the most part, you know,
- 1:17:37you're going to see Jeff, Ricky,
- 1:17:44Austin should have a good weekend.
- 1:17:48There's a few for James there.
- 1:17:51I can't think of all the
- 1:17:52guys that are there.
- 1:17:54Ariel.
- 1:17:55Yeah, on the woman's side, Laura, Alexis,
- 1:17:58Ariel.
- 1:18:03Should do well.
- 1:18:05Is Emma Lawson competing
- 1:18:06individually or no?
- 1:18:08Or just team?
- 1:18:09Just team.
- 1:18:10Yeah.
- 1:18:16I am looking really quick
- 1:18:17at... Let me see if I have a dark horse.
- 1:18:21Let's pick a dark horse
- 1:18:23maybe for the men and the women.
- 1:18:28Someone that wasn't at the games.
- 1:18:30It has to be someone that
- 1:18:30wasn't at the games.
- 1:18:31Oh, jeez.
- 1:18:35That Jessica Androsik,
- 1:18:37just because I feel like
- 1:18:40she's very short and
- 1:18:43there's a lot of range of motion.
- 1:18:46I'm very curious to see how
- 1:18:47Lucy Campbell does.
- 1:18:48That girl is so, so fit.
- 1:18:52Like that running one with
- 1:18:53the steps and the bike,
- 1:18:56that could be someone that
- 1:18:57challenges Rolf.
- 1:19:00If she's okay with her wrist,
- 1:19:01I'm curious to see how she does.
- 1:19:02I hope that she does well.
- 1:19:03I really like her.
- 1:19:10How's Chloe going to do?
- 1:19:12Well, I was going to say her.
- 1:19:14I think there's some good
- 1:19:15ones in here for her.
- 1:19:16I'm trying to think of the
- 1:19:17individual ones.
- 1:19:19You got the ring muscle-
- 1:19:20She's great at ring muscle- Yeah.
- 1:19:21She's one of the best in the
- 1:19:22sport at ring muscle-ups.
- 1:19:23How is she on her hands?
- 1:19:24The thruster- The thruster- Handstand,
- 1:19:27she's awesome on her hands.
- 1:19:28It's- I don't know about the thrusters.
- 1:19:30That front squat for her
- 1:19:32normally is a little bit weaker.
- 1:19:34I think it's a hundred pounds,
- 1:19:35so- But her ring muscles are so good.
- 1:19:39Yeah.
- 1:19:48Lucy, I'm curious to see how she'll do.
- 1:19:50She had a great qualifier
- 1:19:53coming out of the teens.
- 1:19:54I think she's so fit.
- 1:19:56Could be a breakthrough year for her.
- 1:20:00I'm anxious to see Lydia Fish, Lexi Neely,
- 1:20:05Jennifer Muir, Zoe Warren,
- 1:20:12just some of the young
- 1:20:13athletes that we usually
- 1:20:15see at the semifinal level.
- 1:20:18I like Wishheart too.
- 1:20:20Not sure how she'll do with
- 1:20:21the hang and clean complex,
- 1:20:25but everything else I like for her.
- 1:20:27Yeah.
- 1:20:29And there's no drug testing here?
- 1:20:33For... I don't think so.
- 1:20:37Pinero's there.
- 1:20:39She's clear.
- 1:20:40She's safe.
- 1:20:42I think they normally did before,
- 1:20:44didn't they?
- 1:20:46I've never heard of it.
- 1:20:48Does it mean it doesn't happen?
- 1:20:53Let me see.
- 1:20:53On the men's side,
- 1:20:54I like someone that wasn't
- 1:20:57at the games last year.
- 1:21:00Nick Matthew.
- 1:21:06He's good on his hand.
- 1:21:07I think, actually,
- 1:21:08this could be a good confirm.
- 1:21:10At Crash,
- 1:21:11he seemed to be fighting some
- 1:21:12shoulder issues.
- 1:21:14If he's healthy...
- 1:21:15Like that chest of our bench
- 1:21:17press one should be really good for him.
- 1:21:19Really good.
- 1:21:20I think the handstand pushup.
- 1:21:21I think he just needs to
- 1:21:22survive that run bike.
- 1:21:24He's short for the bike.
- 1:21:25He's not, I don't think if top,
- 1:21:27top runner and the step ups
- 1:21:29might be harder for him as
- 1:21:31a shorter athlete.
- 1:21:33If he can survive that one,
- 1:21:34he's got a great clean.
- 1:21:36Should you really actually
- 1:21:37really well on the clean event?
- 1:21:39Probably a top top five or
- 1:21:41six on that one.
- 1:21:42Actually.
- 1:21:43Max Craig is mine.
- 1:21:47He's just overall fit.
- 1:21:50He is going to have a
- 1:21:51breakout at some point.
- 1:21:53It's just, it's going to happen.
- 1:21:56Ooh, hit Andrew Hiller.
- 1:21:59They have been drug tested.
- 1:22:00It was a before.
- 1:22:01Yeah.
- 1:22:01I remember the athletes were
- 1:22:04getting drug tested before
- 1:22:06I could see on their stories.
- 1:22:07Sometimes it would pop up.
- 1:22:09That's when it was part of
- 1:22:10the game season.
- 1:22:11Yeah.
- 1:22:13I'm going to throw in my friend,
- 1:22:14Josh survey that I did his
- 1:22:16competition yesterday.
- 1:22:17He's competing on the elite division.
- 1:22:20He did really well in the open this year,
- 1:22:22had a penalty that took him
- 1:22:23out or in the quarterfinals.
- 1:22:25He's often really good.
- 1:22:28So I'm rooting for him.
- 1:22:28Yeah.
- 1:22:31But I don't think any major
- 1:22:34surprises will sneak into the top five.
- 1:22:36At least you might get one
- 1:22:38that sneaks into the top ten, but.
- 1:22:42I think for the most part on
- 1:22:43the female side,
- 1:22:46it's going to be your usuals.
- 1:22:48I think the female side is deeper.
- 1:22:52The men's side is very top heavy,
- 1:22:55but it has a lot more room
- 1:22:56for play around that top ten area.
- 1:22:59The female side,
- 1:22:59I think it's going to be
- 1:23:00much harder to crack that top ten.
- 1:23:02Yeah.
- 1:23:08Well,
- 1:23:09the last thing I wanted to talk to
- 1:23:10you guys about is I'm going
- 1:23:12to share my screen one more time.
- 1:23:15I got to find it again
- 1:23:16because I went off of it.
- 1:23:20is they put out their gauntlet workout.
- 1:23:22And we've been talking for
- 1:23:23the last few weeks about
- 1:23:25creating a gauntlet-style
- 1:23:27workout that would travel
- 1:23:28from town to town and allow
- 1:23:30CrossFitters from that town
- 1:23:31to enter just like a High Rocks event,
- 1:23:33but go through like this hour-long event.
- 1:23:38And so we all created our own,
- 1:23:40and some of the listeners
- 1:23:41created their own,
- 1:23:43and now Wadapalooza has put out theirs.
- 1:23:45So I wanted to get your
- 1:23:46thoughts on what you thought of theirs.
- 1:23:52And that is right here.
- 1:23:56So tada.
- 1:23:59So there's is fifty five minutes long,
- 1:24:02which is kind of where we
- 1:24:03were at to enough time to
- 1:24:05clean the floor and move on
- 1:24:06to the next round in the next hour.
- 1:24:09Workout one is zero to six minutes,
- 1:24:12one rep max, four deadlifts,
- 1:24:14three hand cleans, two front squats,
- 1:24:17one shoulder to overhead.
- 1:24:19Workout two, nine-minute AMRAP, three, six,
- 1:24:25nine, twelve, fifteen, and so on,
- 1:24:27calorie row, thrusters, and pull-ups.
- 1:24:31Classic.
- 1:24:31And that is you keep going
- 1:24:33for the nine minutes.
- 1:24:37Workout three is a thousand
- 1:24:39meter assault run
- 1:24:40immediately into workout four,
- 1:24:43which is for time three rounds,
- 1:24:45thirty box jump overs, twenty toes to bar,
- 1:24:48ten sandbag cleans.
- 1:24:50Good one.
- 1:24:52And then you finish up with four-time,
- 1:24:54twenty-five alt-hanging dumbbell snatches,
- 1:24:57twenty-five burpee over the blocks,
- 1:25:00fifty dumbbell bench press,
- 1:25:02twenty-five burpees over the blocks,
- 1:25:05twenty-five alt-hanging
- 1:25:06dumbbell snatches.
- 1:25:07Well,
- 1:25:07I hope they change that to forty
- 1:25:08bench if the pros only got to do forty.
- 1:25:11Yeah.
- 1:25:14But Larry Young wants to do
- 1:25:15the fifty because that's his strength.
- 1:25:19I think these are great
- 1:25:20events easy to judge for
- 1:25:23the most part the only
- 1:25:24thing if it was a traveling
- 1:25:25gauntlet I wouldn't want to
- 1:25:27see a max of anything like
- 1:25:28I just don't want to
- 1:25:29there's a lot of people if
- 1:25:30you want to invite people
- 1:25:32like that wouldn't have
- 1:25:33little to a lot of
- 1:25:34experience like I don't
- 1:25:36even like to see anything
- 1:25:37sometimes super heavy go
- 1:25:39above head for some people yeah um
- 1:25:44maxing out,
- 1:25:44that's the only thing I would
- 1:25:45maybe switched into
- 1:25:46something that maybe could progress, um,
- 1:25:51in weight where you're
- 1:25:52still testing strength,
- 1:25:52but not necessarily in a max event.
- 1:25:55There would be cool,
- 1:25:57but I like the workouts.
- 1:25:58I think there's a lot of, uh,
- 1:26:00really fun ones to do.
- 1:26:02I mean,
- 1:26:03I wish there was something other
- 1:26:04than just run for them.
- 1:26:05Middle one.
- 1:26:08Well, it's important to do though.
- 1:26:12Yeah.
- 1:26:13Three and four are in the
- 1:26:14same twenty to thirty five minute block.
- 1:26:20Is it a separate score?
- 1:26:21Is there a thousand meter run?
- 1:26:23Yeah, I'm assuming.
- 1:26:26But you meet you have no rest.
- 1:26:28You go immediately into.
- 1:26:30Well, you do, but you don't.
- 1:26:33I'm sure it depends on when you finish,
- 1:26:35because it's like it says
- 1:26:36what time workout for starts like.
- 1:26:38No, no.
- 1:26:40If you look at them,
- 1:26:41both three and four start
- 1:26:42at twenty minutes.
- 1:26:43oh okay yeah I think they
- 1:26:46messed that up they should
- 1:26:47have for workout three said
- 1:26:48twenty to thirty five and
- 1:26:50left that blank for workout
- 1:26:51four okay because it's in
- 1:26:53the same fifteen minute
- 1:26:54block I gotcha all right
- 1:26:55yeah that's not bad I like
- 1:26:58that then but I think we
- 1:27:01did just as good a job as I
- 1:27:03do too as they did um I
- 1:27:07still think that's a great
- 1:27:08idea and a way to get the
- 1:27:10community back involved um
- 1:27:13And maybe you could do them
- 1:27:14at some of these in-person
- 1:27:15events as a way to bring
- 1:27:17the crowds in to try it.
- 1:27:19And then, hey, stick around for XYZ.
- 1:27:22Yeah,
- 1:27:26because a lot of the semifinals and stuff,
- 1:27:28they had fan workouts and
- 1:27:30stuff like that.
- 1:27:31You could have this
- 1:27:32community event that would
- 1:27:33be traveling there easily.
- 1:27:35Yeah, I think it's cool.
- 1:27:40John Young, congratulations, buddy,
- 1:27:42on the birth of your baby girl.
- 1:27:45As a girl dad,
- 1:27:45I know that is an awesome feeling,
- 1:27:48and I hope you enjoy every bit of it.
- 1:27:50But y'all talk about how
- 1:27:51Hatfield is going to win Wazzy yet.
- 1:27:53No,
- 1:27:53but we did talk about how Saxon
- 1:27:55Pancheck will.
- 1:28:00No, actually,
- 1:28:01Austin came up a lot on each
- 1:28:03individual workout and how
- 1:28:05range of motion actually is
- 1:28:06going to play a big part in
- 1:28:07some of those.
- 1:28:08So he should actually have a
- 1:28:09pretty good weekend.
- 1:28:10He will do well.
- 1:28:12And really, Saxon did not come up at all.
- 1:28:16It's true.
- 1:28:20Speaking of babies,
- 1:28:21did you see Marquand Jones
- 1:28:23and his girlfriend announced a pregnancy?
- 1:28:27I did not.
- 1:28:28Yeah, congrats to him.
- 1:28:30He was one of my favorite
- 1:28:31people to interview.
- 1:28:33Yeah, mine too.
- 1:28:35Super fun.
- 1:28:39We are chilling on the couch
- 1:28:40right now doing some tummy time.
- 1:28:42And practicing the hook grip
- 1:28:44I think I saw in your story there,
- 1:28:45John Young.
- 1:28:52Strongest Olympic
- 1:28:53weightlifting baby in the world.
- 1:28:57Um, so yeah, so water Palooza starts,
- 1:29:01I guess, be friendly.
- 1:29:01Fitness is the one
- 1:29:02broadcasting it this year.
- 1:29:04Is that what I'm hearing?
- 1:29:05Oh, anybody hearing anything else?
- 1:29:11I'm not seeing any
- 1:29:12advertisements for anything else.
- 1:29:15Um, but I'm sure, uh,
- 1:29:19it will be on the water
- 1:29:21Palooza YouTube channel somehow,
- 1:29:24some way.
- 1:29:25And with that, check that out.
- 1:29:28We'll be checking in maybe
