  I got a new mixer.

  Oh, good.

  So that I won't duck out an hour
• 1:01
  in.
• 1:01
  Whew.
• 1:02
  to the podcast tonight,
• 1:04
  and I haven't quite figured out how to
• 1:06
  load the sounds onto the buttons.
• 1:12
  I spent way too much time figuring out
• 1:14
  how just to get the mixer to work.
• 1:20
  Well,
• 1:20
  we'll be excited to not have you drop
• 1:22
  out.
• 1:23
  Yeah, yeah.
• 1:25
  And this one has...
• 1:28
  way cooler features when i figure them out
• 1:31
  um to help with different things i just
• 1:36
  i just have to figure it out but
• 1:39
  what an epic weekend guys before we get
• 1:41
  into that don't forget to like and
• 1:43
  subscribe um we are well over three
• 1:46
  thousand subscribers now and our way to
• 1:51
  four k um but thank you so much
• 1:54
  for everything uh
• 1:58
  that you guys have done for us over
• 2:00
  the last few years.
• 2:01
  You guys are the best.
• 2:03
  I know, Jamie,
• 2:04
  you had big plans this weekend.
• 2:05
  You were running back from Grand Rapids,
• 2:07
  Michigan.
• 2:09
  Yep.
• 2:11
  Yeah,
• 2:11
  we went for dinner for my nephew and
• 2:14
  my son.
• 2:15
  How was it?
• 2:17
  It was good.
• 2:17
  We went to that.
• 2:18
  I think we went to the same place
• 2:19
  last year.
• 2:19
  And I think we talked about the,
• 2:20
  it's the melting pot.
• 2:21
  It's like the fondue bowls.
• 2:23
  So it starts with like different cheeses
• 2:25
  you can pick.
• 2:26
  And then you can get different like.
• 2:32
  sauce that like oils to cook in or
• 2:34
  a grill um kind of like if anyone's
• 2:37
  ever been to like a black rock like
• 2:38
  that aspect of putting it on a hot
• 2:41
  hot plate to cook or in a sauce
• 2:45
  um and then and then you get like
• 2:47
  the chocolate fondue for dessert it's it's
• 2:49
  okay it's the kids really like it i
• 2:52
  i think it's just a lot of work
• 2:55
  i think it'd be fun if you didn't
• 2:56
  have to cook your meat
• 2:58
  Yeah.
• 2:59
  I totally agree.
• 2:59
  I think that the cheeses like that is
• 3:02
  cool.
• 3:02
  Dipping in like bread and stuff and the
• 3:03
  different cheeses.
• 3:04
  Um, and the dessert is fun, you know,
• 3:06
  brings out strawberries, bananas,
• 3:08
  cream puffs,
• 3:09
  all kinds of stuff to dip in the
• 3:10
  different chocolates.
• 3:11
  Um, but the cooking,
• 3:12
  the food is a bit of a pain.
• 3:14
  Just bring me out a steak like,
• 3:17
  and I can eat.
• 3:17
  Yeah.
• 3:18
  And I'll dip it in whatever.
• 3:20
  Yeah.
• 3:20
  Bring some sauces on the side.
• 3:21
  Cool.
• 3:21
  Yeah.
• 3:22
  Yeah.
• 3:24
  Agree.
• 3:26
  Yeah,
• 3:27
  every time there's been one here that's
• 3:28
  been successful, it's burnt to the ground.
• 3:31
  Really?
• 3:32
  Really.
• 3:34
  So they are dangerous, too,
• 3:36
  because if those pots spill,
• 3:39
  get a grease fire.
• 3:44
  Yeah, I guess I can see that.
• 3:45
  Yeah, the one just south of me,
• 3:47
  near where you stayed for the Arnold,
• 3:50
  it burnt to the ground.
• 3:53
  Yikes.
• 3:55
  So, yeah.
• 3:58
  Um, we, we had a,
• 3:59
  we had a quiet weekend because my
• 4:01
  procedure is tomorrow morning.
• 4:03
  And so, uh, just,
• 4:06
  I have not slept well because of it.
• 4:08
  Just trying to get through this weekend.
• 4:11
  Hopefully tomorrow is the end of this
• 4:12
  whole damn process.
• 4:15
  And, uh,
• 4:15
  we're back to being in rhythm tomorrow
• 4:18
  morning.
• 4:19
  It is first thing I have to be
• 4:20
  there.
• 4:21
  Six AM procedures at seven thirty AM.
• 4:25
  Hopefully it works and I'm home by ten
• 4:27
  AM.
• 4:28
  I hope it works for you, too.
• 4:30
  Yeah,
• 4:30
  I hope it's going to finally get resolved.
• 4:33
  So we tried to watch.
• 4:35
  Well,
• 4:35
  it's been it was a big sports weekend
• 4:37
  like Saturday night.
• 4:38
  I had the Mayhem Classic right into I
• 4:42
  watched a little bit of WrestleMania.
• 4:44
  I went right into the Penguins hockey game
• 4:47
  and the Pirates were in extra innings
• 4:50
  against the Rays.
• 4:51
  And I'm watching it all.
• 4:55
  On phone TV, little TV.
• 4:59
  Yeah.
• 5:00
  And Pirates lost, Penguins lost.
• 5:02
  Dang.
• 5:05
  But Mayhem was amazing.
• 5:09
  Carolyn,
• 5:10
  do you do anything other than watch
• 5:11
  Mayhem?
• 5:11
  Because you were texting like a mad woman
• 5:13
  this week.
• 5:15
  I was not even caught up.
• 5:16
  I'm like, I can't follow.
• 5:17
  I'm way behind.
• 5:19
  At one point, I was working out,
• 5:20
  and I was like,
• 5:20
  I can't work out right now.
• 5:22
  I'm going home to go watch Mayhem.
• 5:24
  Who am I kidding?
• 5:25
  I'm like half in my work, like just...
• 5:28
  way too much on my phone I'm like
• 5:29
  I'm cold now I'm leaving so I like
• 5:32
  barely did anything on Saturday especially
• 5:34
  when Gwen started like there was no going
• 5:37
  back to my workouts I was just like
• 5:38
  this on my phone and then just drove
• 5:40
  home to go watch the rest and basically
• 5:43
  said goodbye to my workouts for the day
• 5:45
  Which I do sometimes.
• 5:47
  I just kind of say whatever happens.
• 5:52
  Watched a lot of Mayhem.
• 5:54
  Watching playoff hockey too.
• 5:55
  So my Canadians are on right now.
• 5:57
  So you see me kind of glancing at
• 5:59
  the back.
• 5:59
  It's because I want to know if they're
• 6:00
  taking the lead over the Tampa Bay
• 6:02
  Lightning.
• 6:05
  What else did I do this weekend?
• 6:05
  A lot of work for school.
• 6:07
  Just because I have four days that I'm
• 6:09
  missing between Wednesday, Thursday,
• 6:11
  Friday, and the following Monday.
• 6:14
  So that's very, very stressful for me,
• 6:15
  especially because I'm also coaching the
• 6:17
  girls soccer team after school.
• 6:18
  So I'm missing two of their games.
• 6:20
  So it's like just getting a bunch of
• 6:21
  things organized for the days that I'm
• 6:23
  gone and organizing who's taking the team,
• 6:26
  which players can be there,
• 6:27
  can't be there, taxis, all that.
• 6:29
  Cause the girls take taxis to the games.
• 6:33
  Yeah.
• 6:33
  We don't have like a school bus that
• 6:35
  goes to like all the games.
• 6:38
  So there's just like a lot of planning
• 6:40
  and,
• 6:42
  Stress.
• 6:43
  We're missing school.
• 6:45
  It is stressful.
• 6:45
  We're going to get into what you two
• 6:48
  are doing next weekend and have already
• 6:50
  started doing today at the end of the
• 6:53
  show.
• 6:53
  But we got to get into Mayhem.
• 6:58
  I have to say...
• 7:00
  It's been a long time since I've been
• 7:02
  able to sit down and watch an event
• 7:05
  from wire to wire, all live,
• 7:09
  all not letting it like get by and
• 7:11
  come back and catch up.
• 7:13
  It was too exciting to walk away from.
• 7:17
  Well,
• 7:17
  if I would have had like a plan
• 7:18
  I had to do, I get it.
• 7:21
  But I didn't this weekend.
• 7:22
  We were preparing for tomorrow.
• 7:24
  And so I did not miss a second
• 7:27
  of the actual Mayhem broadcast.
• 7:32
  It's a condensed schedule too.
• 7:35
  And like every heat was important because
• 7:36
  there's only two heats.
• 7:37
  Even the heats of five were so exciting,
• 7:39
  right?
• 7:39
  Like Gwen, the heats of five were awesome.
• 7:40
  Yeah.
• 7:42
  Yeah.
• 7:43
  That it made it very easy to watch
• 7:45
  and you know,
• 7:46
  you're watching for a few hours and then
• 7:47
  you have like the morning cause it started
• 7:49
  a little bit later.
• 7:49
  So you still can do your things in
• 7:50
  the morning, which is probably,
• 7:52
  I would assume mayhem has a bunch of
• 7:53
  workouts and things that they're getting
• 7:54
  the members to do in the morning before
• 7:57
  people are watching.
• 7:59
  So that's why they allow that like big
• 8:01
  gap where the competition starts,
• 8:03
  I'm assuming.
• 8:05
  But yeah, it was, it was awesome.
• 8:08
  They do such a great job.
• 8:10
  So I was watching the pieces of the
• 8:12
  run on Friday through Instagram and all of
• 8:16
  that,
• 8:16
  and then I watched both post-production
• 8:20
  mayhem versions of it,
• 8:22
  which were basically a start to finish
• 8:26
  with Rich and Angelo and Austin Maliolo
• 8:33
  doing the commentary from start to finish.
• 8:36
  I like those post-production recaps.
• 8:38
  Those are really good.
• 8:40
  And then you get up Saturday morning,
• 8:42
  you get some stuff done,
• 8:43
  and then you sit down for Gwen,
• 8:45
  and that sucked you right in for the
• 8:47
  whole weekend.
• 8:49
  Because what Gwen did is the stuff I've
• 8:52
  been preaching about that CrossFit gave
• 8:55
  up.
• 8:56
  CrossFit gave up the tension and the drama
• 8:59
  and all of that stuff because we lost
• 9:02
  that last event of the regional semifinal
• 9:06
  where people had to lay it on the
• 9:08
  line to make it in.
• 9:10
  When was that in a condensed timeframe?
• 9:16
  Do you let them go because you're not
• 9:18
  ready or do you follow?
• 9:21
  And how many people missed the ninth rep?
• 9:27
  It was so many.
• 9:28
  That's crazy.
• 9:34
  Can you imagine if that would have been
• 9:35
  the final event?
• 9:38
  No,
• 9:39
  I can't imagine that as a final event.
• 9:43
  It would have been crazy.
• 9:44
  Crazy.
• 9:49
  I didn't know how it was going to
• 9:51
  be because the only time I've ever done
• 9:54
  it is for load.
• 9:57
  Yeah.
• 9:57
  Or time.
• 9:57
  Same.
• 9:59
  And to see it translate into for time
• 10:03
  with...
• 10:05
  You saw people walk up to the bar
• 10:07
  and kick it with their foot and then
• 10:08
  step back.
• 10:09
  And like,
• 10:10
  are they going to bait somebody in?
• 10:12
  Are they not?
• 10:14
  And then like Vicki said,
• 10:15
  a Gabby's save on that last prep was
• 10:19
  epic.
• 10:20
  That made me go home.
• 10:21
  Like I yelled and I was like,
• 10:22
  I'm going home.
• 10:23
  Like right after that, I was like,
• 10:25
  I need to go watch all of this
• 10:26
  on a big TV.
• 10:28
  It was so good.
• 10:31
  I couldn't believe she caught that.
• 10:32
  I couldn't either.
• 10:35
  That's crazy.
• 10:37
  CJ,
• 10:37
  I know what you're getting at because I
• 10:38
  thought.
• 10:39
  Me too.
• 10:40
  As strict as they were with the re-grip
• 10:42
  on the thighs,
• 10:44
  it technically was a re-grip.
• 10:47
  You were allowed to re-grip all you wanted
• 10:49
  on your shoulders though.
• 10:50
  Like you could have rested there and
• 10:51
  re-gripped as much as you wanted.
• 10:52
  But in the crease of your elbow?
• 10:56
  Yeah.
• 10:57
  I mean, but you're allowed to like,
• 10:58
  once they let it,
• 10:59
  I think the judge didn't know what to
• 11:01
  do and you rather let the rep go
• 11:03
  than call the no rep maybe.
• 11:04
  Cause it was like,
• 11:05
  maybe it's not something that they plan
• 11:06
  for.
• 11:07
  I am sure that is not in the
• 11:09
  diagram or description of what should be
• 11:12
  called a no rep.
• 11:14
  No.
• 11:15
  Right.
• 11:16
  I watched, um,
• 11:17
  it was a story today by, um, Raphael,
• 11:20
  um, Alison's fiance.
• 11:22
  Yeah.
• 11:26
  oh you're talking about rafteran yeah yeah
• 11:30
  um as a new name yeah yeah yeah
• 11:35
  like he was saying that he didn't like
• 11:37
  the test in terms of like,
• 11:38
  he likes to test for the drama and
• 11:40
  stuff, but not for like a fitness test.
• 11:42
  And like when people miss,
• 11:43
  he would have preferred like a certain
• 11:45
  amount of burpees and then they continue
• 11:46
  the reps versus starting back over at
• 11:48
  zero.
• 11:50
  What do you think about that?
• 11:51
  Like a shuttle penalty or like you do
• 11:53
  ten reps of the burpees.
• 11:55
  Something to like really slow you down so
• 11:56
  that like fitness kind of still prevails,
• 12:00
  but you get a little bit of a
• 12:01
  penalty versus people sitting around.
• 12:03
  And I didn't
• 12:04
  mind that I was like oh that's pretty
• 12:06
  smart like like the biathlon right like
• 12:09
  you had a penalty you didn't have to
• 12:11
  wait until you got unbroken it was the
• 12:13
  running penalty like would you have
• 12:16
  preferred something like that to be
• 12:17
  implemented I loved it as it was yeah
• 12:22
  I would have liked that I don't
• 12:26
  Like, ten bar-facing burpees.
• 12:27
  Yeah.
• 12:28
  Like, the thing is, to rest two,
• 12:31
  three minutes and try again and make it
• 12:34
  or not, like,
• 12:35
  you were already out of it.
• 12:37
  Yeah, I would have liked to seen.
• 12:40
  And, like, it was, like,
• 12:41
  almost not finishable if you failed,
• 12:43
  right?
• 12:43
  And, like, that's not fun.
• 12:48
  But I think if you do a penalty,
• 12:49
  then people don't go and try to go.
• 12:51
  It has to be like a hard penalty.
• 12:53
  It's got to be enough.
• 12:54
  It can't be like I said,
• 12:55
  ten bar face burpees.
• 12:56
  It would have to be more than that.
• 12:58
  Yeah.
• 12:59
  We're like, you want to hold on.
• 13:01
  I think you're giving up the drama aspect
• 13:03
  of it.
• 13:04
  CJ says that thirty six clean and jerks
• 13:06
  would have been boring.
• 13:07
  Fifteen twelve nine unbroken or one of the
• 13:09
  most exciting events we've seen in years.
• 13:12
  I agree.
• 13:13
  Find ways to create twists that change the
• 13:15
  stimulus or require an uncommon approach.
• 13:20
  that nine was so important and it meant
• 13:23
  so much that if you dropped it it
• 13:26
  was devastating and that is what gives you
• 13:30
  the drama of what we had and i
• 13:34
  think lessening that drama i don't want
• 13:37
  that that was just an interesting take
• 13:41
  that he said on his story um but
• 13:44
  i loved watching the event it was crazy
• 13:47
  it was literally nuts
• 13:50
  It was like the perfect weight that like,
• 13:52
  that really made it interesting.
• 13:54
  It wasn't,
• 13:54
  you didn't have to just be strong,
• 13:57
  like the strongest in the field.
• 13:58
  You had someone like Rebecca who just was
• 14:00
  very patient.
• 14:01
  And she,
• 14:01
  if she just finished the workout and just
• 14:04
  took her time,
• 14:05
  she ended up doing better than, you know,
• 14:07
  six or seven other girls.
• 14:11
  It had, you have to have good engine,
• 14:13
  good grip and strength.
• 14:14
  Like there was a lot of like things
• 14:17
  that were important in that workout to
• 14:18
  make it not just a,
• 14:21
  like a one rep max i enjoyed it
• 14:25
  it was fun yeah i again i am
• 14:30
  all for the drama i am all for
• 14:34
  um
• 14:36
  the,
• 14:36
  the Cole Sagers coming back on the last
• 14:39
  event of regionals to make it to the
• 14:41
  games.
• 14:42
  I'm all for the, uh,
• 14:44
  con porters having to sell out on the
• 14:47
  last event to make the games.
• 14:50
  And if you don't make it,
• 14:51
  you go home.
• 14:52
  Like it's all or nothing when it's all
• 14:54
  or nothing.
• 14:55
  It just means more.
• 14:58
  I think I loved it so much because
• 14:59
  it wasn't me.
• 15:01
  Also, I was like, Oh,
• 15:03
  this makes it better that I'm not in
• 15:04
  the field stressing.
• 15:05
  Cause I can't imagine as a competitor,
• 15:06
  how stressful that event would be going
• 15:08
  into it too.
• 15:08
  Agree.
• 15:10
  Cause you can feel real confident,
• 15:12
  but then you get to, you know,
• 15:13
  rep six, seven.
• 15:14
  You're like, Oh boy,
• 15:15
  I don't know about this next one.
• 15:18
  I'm interesting to see the magic city that
• 15:20
  has semi Gwen.
• 15:21
  Are they going for load or are they
• 15:23
  going to have a specific per time?
• 15:25
  Because they announced Gwen as well.
• 15:28
  If I watched this weekend,
• 15:30
  I wouldn't change it a bit.
• 15:31
  I mean,
• 15:32
  I think you should prescribe the weights
• 15:33
  and it should be for time.
• 15:34
  Like, just make it reasonable weights.
• 15:38
  They need to be better about programming
• 15:41
  for each age group.
• 15:43
  Vicki brings up that Colton mentioned,
• 15:46
  athletes don't train touch and go as often
• 15:48
  anymore in volume.
• 15:50
  And that hurt them in this workout.
• 15:56
  everything is a strategy to get the most
• 15:59
  efficient way to from point a to point
• 16:01
  b and just making it unbroken made it
• 16:05
  different yeah because it's not the best
• 16:07
  way that you would do those it would
• 16:09
  be the slowest way um have you ever
• 16:11
  done gwen you've never done it i don't
• 16:16
  i don't know i don't think so i've
• 16:19
  done a lot of benchmark workouts but i
• 16:21
  don't remember doing gwen
• 16:23
  Have you done it?
• 16:24
  Yeah, I've done it twice.
• 16:26
  Um,
• 16:27
  I did it at the games in the
• 16:30
  spectator arena.
• 16:32
  Um, probably like.
• 16:36
  I don't know,
• 16:36
  or when I went to watch.
• 16:38
  Um, and then I did it again.
• 16:41
  I was dropping in at a gym and
• 16:44
  did it in Florida for weight.
• 16:48
  I mean,
• 16:48
  I feel like I always did it for
• 16:49
  weight and time, but like,
• 16:54
  Yeah, I mean,
• 16:54
  I probably took like three minutes in
• 16:56
  between my, in between.
• 16:58
  How do you calculate that in a competition
• 17:00
  if you do it for load?
• 17:02
  And people have different,
• 17:03
  like how would Magic City,
• 17:05
  is there a formula?
• 17:06
  Somebody did say there's some formula.
• 17:09
  I would be,
• 17:10
  you'd have to get Tyler Watkins on it
• 17:11
  or something.
• 17:12
  So when I did it in a local
• 17:14
  comp,
• 17:16
  you could change the load after each set.
• 17:21
  Oh, no.
• 17:22
  So.
• 17:24
  And it added more strategy to it.
• 17:26
  But like you could have somebody do one
• 17:31
  twenty five and finish in eight minutes
• 17:33
  and somebody choose one oh five and finish
• 17:35
  in four minutes.
• 17:37
  Where's the like there has to there has
• 17:41
  to be.
• 17:42
  It was weight, total weight,
• 17:43
  not the time was not relevant.
• 17:46
  There was just a cap.
• 17:46
  OK, yeah, I don't like that at all.
• 17:51
  Well,
• 17:51
  you wouldn't because you don't like
• 17:52
  weight.
• 17:54
  I liked it and I won it.
• 17:56
  Well, then, I mean,
• 17:57
  you're just doing a one rep at that
• 17:58
  point.
• 17:58
  There's got to be a time.
• 18:00
  There was a time cap to that.
• 18:04
  It's basically think about the eight
• 18:05
  minute time cap,
• 18:06
  but you can take your sweet time.
• 18:08
  You're not rushed.
• 18:09
  There's not a third.
• 18:09
  Doesn't matter about the buzzer.
• 18:10
  You just have to do it unbroken for
• 18:12
  your load.
• 18:19
  The only time you can change weight is
• 18:20
  after the fifteen and after the twelve.
• 18:23
  That's just silly.
• 18:24
  You pick a weight.
• 18:27
  It was a great event.
• 18:28
  You weren't there.
• 18:30
  I won it.
• 18:32
  I loved it.
• 18:38
  But I knew going into the nine,
• 18:40
  I had to push the weight to get
• 18:42
  to a point where I was going to
• 18:44
  win.
• 18:45
  And it was outside my comfort zone.
• 18:48
  Like I looked around,
• 18:49
  I saw what other people were putting on.
• 18:52
  I did the quick math and then I
• 18:54
  had to hang on.
• 18:55
  How much did you do?
• 18:57
  It was ten years ago.
• 19:00
  I started high and brought it down.
• 19:04
  But I don't remember.
• 19:14
  I'm going to have to be a member
• 19:16
  again.
• 19:18
  I like weight, Larry,
• 19:20
  but I also understand CrossFit is running
• 19:23
  a business and they have to do it
• 19:25
  differently than my love.
• 19:33
  Because I would not do it for load
• 19:35
  in a competition at this level.
• 19:38
  But at a local comp, it was fun.
• 19:44
  They weren't trying to find the fittest at
• 19:46
  the Troy throwdown in Troy, Ohio.
• 19:51
  We were just there to have fun.
• 19:54
  But at this level,
• 19:55
  they're trying to find the fittest.
• 19:57
  Time was a much better solution.
• 20:08
  Let's start with the run was brutal.
• 20:11
  Yeah, that looked awful.
• 20:14
  Jamie, you're a runner.
• 20:16
  Would you have loved that run?
• 20:18
  Oh, it would have hurt so bad.
• 20:20
  Hills suck.
• 20:21
  I mean, yeah,
• 20:22
  it would have been a good event.
• 20:24
  I like that there's the break of the
• 20:25
  burpees in the middle to break it up.
• 20:28
  It makes it that it's not so like,
• 20:31
  because in a six event weekend,
• 20:33
  if you have just a monostructural running
• 20:36
  event, five K, like on a flat,
• 20:37
  like you're giving away points to just the
• 20:41
  cardio.
• 20:41
  If you're not going to do a weightlifting
• 20:42
  or gymnastics.
• 20:43
  So I liked that they added the burpees
• 20:46
  to just even it up a little bit.
• 20:48
  So if you have some good runners or
• 20:50
  like not as good of runners,
• 20:51
  but you can make up a little bit
• 20:52
  of time on the burpees that played a
• 20:55
  factor too.
• 20:58
  It was wild to see how many people
• 21:00
  walked.
• 21:02
  I mean, even Haley.
• 21:03
  Yeah.
• 21:05
  You know, like, I mean,
• 21:07
  I think everyone except for Jeff and maybe
• 21:12
  Roman walked and Emily,
• 21:15
  I guess we don't know if she ever,
• 21:16
  I doubt she did, but I like,
• 21:18
  I feel like everyone else walked.
• 21:22
  i think after watching the full version
• 21:25
  from mayhem that destroyed haley i agree
• 21:29
  that's what i said to you she she
• 21:32
  looked much more wrecked than like emily
• 21:34
  finished and was just like could have
• 21:38
  turned around and gone back through that
• 21:39
  like i think she stayed i think she
• 21:40
  stayed where she needed to stay and did
• 21:43
  what she needed to do to take second
• 21:44
  it wasn't worth pushing um
• 21:48
  Yeah,
• 21:49
  I think that hurt her for Gwen a
• 21:51
  little bit.
• 21:52
  Maybe she just needed to rest twenty
• 21:54
  seconds more and she would have had that
• 21:55
  set.
• 21:56
  I don't know.
• 21:56
  But yeah,
• 21:58
  when you've kind of sent it on day
• 22:00
  one, it's tough.
• 22:06
  There were such big gaps between athletes.
• 22:09
  I was surprised not more people just
• 22:10
  slowed down and mailed it in.
• 22:13
  Agreed.
• 22:13
  If you didn't have to go into a
• 22:15
  foot race, I don't know,
• 22:16
  maybe I would just slow down.
• 22:18
  I'd be like, oh,
• 22:19
  I can walk a little bit.
• 22:20
  Although I'd be at the back.
• 22:25
  Gracia says,
• 22:25
  I don't think Emily walked because she
• 22:28
  said something about considering trying to
• 22:29
  catch Haley when she saw her walking.
• 22:32
  You could see her in the back end.
• 22:34
  I thought that maybe she was thinking that
• 22:36
  I think fortunately she didn't,
• 22:37
  didn't push left a little bit in the
• 22:40
  tank.
• 22:41
  I don't know.
• 22:45
  Yeah.
• 22:46
  On the men's side,
• 22:48
  Jeff ran the perfect race,
• 22:50
  caught Austin past Austin.
• 22:53
  And that pass was pretty quick.
• 22:56
  Yeah, he was just kind of going there.
• 22:58
  The amount of times Austin looked back and
• 23:00
  at one point like he looked back and
• 23:01
  they just kind of were like face to
• 23:04
  face almost.
• 23:05
  Oh man,
• 23:05
  I would hate that if I'm just like
• 23:07
  looking back and I can just see that
• 23:09
  athlete is chipping away.
• 23:10
  Now all of a sudden you turn back
• 23:12
  and they're there and you're like,
• 23:13
  damn it.
• 23:14
  Just pass me on.
• 23:15
  Just get it over with.
• 23:18
  Well,
• 23:18
  you know Jeff is famous for sometimes
• 23:20
  trash talking on runs.
• 23:23
  Do you think he was talking to Austin
• 23:24
  as he's running up the hill behind him?
• 23:28
  No, I don't think he did.
• 23:36
  There's a big echo on Jamie and Carolyn
• 23:38
  Happen.
• 23:40
  Could be the new mixer.
• 23:42
  I'll try some stuff.
• 23:46
  Yeah, I've heard it a couple times, too.
• 23:48
  I think she ran a perfect race, though,
• 23:57
  Jeff.
• 23:58
  Jeff did.
• 23:59
  Jeff knew exactly what he was doing.
• 24:04
  He just let Austin set the pace,
• 24:05
  and it was probably an easy pace for
• 24:07
  Jeff, and he's like,
• 24:08
  I'll just catch him at the end.
• 24:11
  And honestly,
• 24:12
  maybe he learned from that games event,
• 24:13
  and he was like,
• 24:14
  and if I don't catch him,
• 24:14
  I don't catch him.
• 24:15
  I take second.
• 24:16
  But the fact that he started walking,
• 24:18
  he was like, oh,
• 24:18
  this is going to be an easy catch.
• 24:29
  Can't hear Scott.
• 24:31
  So Larry says, oh, shit, there he is.
• 24:35
  Yeah.
• 24:37
  Yeah,
• 24:37
  that's probably what went through Austin's
• 24:38
  head.
• 24:39
  He just kept looking back so often.
• 24:44
  If you're an athlete and you see the
• 24:45
  athlete in front of you just look back
• 24:47
  constantly, what goes through your mind?
• 24:51
  If you're the one chasing.
• 24:52
  Yeah, you're like, I got him.
• 24:53
  He's done.
• 24:58
  Larry,
• 24:58
  we're not an hour in and it's a
• 24:59
  new mixer.
• 25:00
  I shouldn't drop off.
• 25:03
  But we're probably going to have to work
• 25:04
  through some technical stuff.
• 25:06
  Yeah.
• 25:18
  Yeah, you know they're almost dying.
• 25:19
  Exactly.
• 25:24
  So we hit Gwen pretty good.
• 25:28
  Then after that was the midline one,
• 25:32
  right?
• 25:34
  No, the muscle-up with the squats.
• 25:39
  Yeah, the thirties.
• 25:40
  The thirty-thirty-thirties.
• 25:42
  Which the standard on the squat was not...
• 25:45
  Yeah, what a shisho.
• 25:46
  Even,
• 25:47
  because I've heard a lot of athletes say
• 25:48
  the one hand here... Not on your back?
• 25:51
  Not on your back.
• 25:52
  We see a lot of athletes holding it,
• 25:54
  both hands on the back.
• 25:57
  Both shoulders have contact with the
• 26:00
  sandbag.
• 26:01
  So I don't know if that was all
• 26:03
  the appeals that was going on,
• 26:05
  but I don't know what you do at
• 26:06
  that point.
• 26:06
  If you did your whole workout one way,
• 26:08
  like...
• 26:10
  I don't know how you can appeal that.
• 26:14
  I didn't see anything really with the ring
• 26:15
  muscle-ups.
• 26:16
  Did you see any big no reps that
• 26:18
  people were getting?
• 26:20
  I wasn't really looking for it.
• 26:21
  I don't even think they called a single
• 26:23
  no.
• 26:24
  Even if there was some that looked like
• 26:25
  they possibly could have been
• 26:26
  questionable,
• 26:27
  I don't know that anyone got a no
• 26:28
  rep on a ring muscle-up.
• 26:30
  Yeah,
• 26:30
  I didn't really pay attention to whether a
• 26:33
  lot of the girls push out to the
• 26:35
  side as they extend or away.
• 26:38
  I didn't look to see if there was
• 26:39
  anything major.
• 26:41
  It looked pretty good.
• 26:42
  The squats.
• 26:43
  I don't know.
• 26:45
  There's some people you know up there.
• 26:49
  Tiago loses.
• 26:55
  He was pushing away.
• 26:58
  Yeah,
• 26:58
  I saw a couple no rep on sandbag
• 27:01
  squats for depth,
• 27:03
  and it's like there's plenty of others
• 27:07
  that didn't get called that I feel like
• 27:09
  had worse depth.
• 27:11
  So that's got to be super frustrating as
• 27:14
  an athlete out there.
• 27:16
  I did see a couple on bar muscle-ups,
• 27:18
  and Charger says that Gabby got a no
• 27:20
  rep on a bar muscle-up.
• 27:23
  So I'm sure that they were calling
• 27:24
  something if they saw it.
• 27:28
  But yeah, the sandbag squat,
• 27:31
  what a shit show.
• 27:33
  If the rule was one shoulder only,
• 27:38
  it was so inconsistent.
• 27:41
  And that makes a big difference.
• 27:44
  Yeah.
• 27:45
  So like how you can hold it here
• 27:48
  versus all the way.
• 27:49
  It can like fire up your back a
• 27:51
  little bit more when it's more loaded on
• 27:53
  one side.
• 27:55
  When supposedly it was...
• 27:57
  they wanted it on one side because it
• 28:00
  was going to be easier to open the
• 28:01
  hips at the time.
• 28:02
  Correct.
• 28:03
  If it's on your back,
• 28:03
  you're going to be hunched over because
• 28:05
  it's on your back.
• 28:05
  So you're never actually going to like
• 28:07
  stand up.
• 28:10
  I don't know.
• 28:11
  It's a tough one.
• 28:14
  Fergie thinks the broadcast crew was top
• 28:16
  tier should be doing the games.
• 28:18
  I had little issues with it, but I'll,
• 28:22
  I'll save those for after we're done with
• 28:23
  the events.
• 28:26
  Vicki said her husband doesn't do
• 28:27
  CrossFit,
• 28:29
  and even he was calling no reps for
• 28:30
  depth.
• 28:32
  Yeah, there were some questionable ones.
• 28:35
  So then after this one,
• 28:38
  we went to the midline,
• 28:41
  and there were a lot of toes to
• 28:43
  bar no reps.
• 28:45
  I feel like there should have been some
• 28:46
  more called.
• 28:50
  So the biggest controversy,
• 28:51
  I don't know if you guys saw Jenny
• 28:52
  this morning,
• 28:54
  Apparently Jeff got no rep on a toes
• 28:56
  to bar, came down, went back up,
• 29:00
  hit the toes to bar.
• 29:01
  It was questionable whether he finished
• 29:04
  his one hundredth rep at the very end
• 29:08
  of round three or not.
• 29:11
  If you slow it down,
• 29:14
  you can tell it was just after.
• 29:15
  Yeah, that's a huge expectation.
• 29:20
  Unreasonable expectation.
• 29:21
  Yeah.
• 29:23
  to expect a live judge to see that
• 29:27
  walk foot everything at once agree i and
• 29:32
  sometimes the announcers can be like three
• 29:34
  two one and like it's actually like it's
• 29:37
  sometimes they're a little off i'm like
• 29:39
  that's not three seconds like three two
• 29:40
  like they're a little off sometimes um
• 29:46
  I did when it happened like I saw
• 29:48
  that it was close and I thought I
• 29:49
  thought he missed it I totally thought he
• 29:51
  missed it and I was like oh okay
• 29:52
  he must have got it I think he
• 29:53
  did an extra rep it's like well I
• 29:56
  thought because I saw him go down a
• 29:57
  couple times in the background but that
• 29:59
  makes sense if it was slowed down yeah
• 30:02
  I for sure was like uh he didn't
• 30:04
  get that and then I saw him I
• 30:05
  was like he got away with something there
• 30:07
  so that's interesting to hear that that
• 30:09
  was the controversy on the floor there
• 30:12
  So T-Bird says,
• 30:13
  I slowed it down and thought he was
• 30:15
  touching the bar right at eleven.
• 30:18
  But if you have to slow it down
• 30:20
  to get that,
• 30:21
  like if you watch the NFL often,
• 30:23
  the play clock oftentimes hits zero.
• 30:27
  Then the umpire turns to see if the
• 30:31
  ball has been snapped.
• 30:32
  And at that point,
• 30:33
  you're giving an extra half to a full
• 30:35
  second.
• 30:37
  Your eyes can't be in two places at
• 30:39
  one time.
• 30:41
  So,
• 30:42
  and I don't know if you as a
• 30:45
  judge are supposed to trust the buzzer
• 30:47
  alone.
• 30:47
  Yeah.
• 30:47
  Yeah.
• 30:47
  It's a tough one.
• 30:49
  I honestly, maybe that should have been,
• 30:51
  I understand you,
• 30:52
  you just want the work to be done.
• 30:54
  I understand the call with that,
• 30:55
  but you almost need to just make it.
• 30:56
  You have to get to the pylon in
• 30:59
  time.
• 30:59
  And if you don't, I'm sorry.
• 31:02
  Sucks.
• 31:02
  They got halfway there.
• 31:03
  You got to do the buy-in and get
• 31:04
  there first.
• 31:06
  I don't, I like it.
• 31:11
  Um, Larry says, Ty goes to the tower.
• 31:14
  Okay.
• 31:16
  Yeah.
• 31:16
  And I mean, you can't,
• 31:21
  you're not supposed to slow down videos
• 31:23
  like in online judging and people do it
• 31:25
  all the time,
• 31:26
  but you're not technically supposed to do
• 31:28
  that.
• 31:28
  You should see it at full speed and
• 31:31
  then determine.
• 31:31
  And then, I mean,
• 31:32
  that's why we compete in person,
• 31:33
  like the call in the field stands and
• 31:35
  sometimes it's good calls and sometimes
• 31:38
  it's bad calls,
• 31:39
  but at least when you're in person,
• 31:40
  you can
• 31:44
  fix it but so what was the result
• 31:46
  that they just they just left it call
• 31:48
  on the floor they gave him the time
• 31:49
  he got correct okay correct but I know
• 31:53
  like Saxon didn't get the one hundredth
• 31:56
  rip he got ninety nine had to do
• 31:59
  another round of all of the stuff before
• 32:06
  he could do the one toes to bar
• 32:08
  and run down the field
• 32:10
  So, you know,
• 32:12
  you're going to have those calls and I'm
• 32:16
  okay with those.
• 32:17
  I'm not okay with sandbag on the back,
• 32:19
  sandbag on the shoulder.
• 32:23
  The rules are rule.
• 32:24
  Let's and AFJ was there.
• 32:28
  Come on, clean this up.
• 32:31
  You're supposed to be briefed.
• 32:32
  All of your judges are supposed to be
• 32:34
  briefed.
• 32:35
  You supposed to have head judges that make
• 32:37
  sure that happens.
• 32:49
  Kind of like wish,
• 32:51
  kind of wish Jeff would let that big
• 32:53
  personality out a smidge more.
• 32:55
  It's so funny you say that, Larry,
• 32:57
  because I've had people tell me they wish
• 32:59
  he wouldn't.
• 33:01
  Yeah, which is weird.
• 33:04
  Like you love it from some people and
• 33:05
  you don't like it from others.
• 33:07
  And I can't quite figure that out.
• 33:12
  I love Jeff Adler.
• 33:13
  I've loved Jeff Adler for a very long
• 33:15
  time.
• 33:16
  I picked him to win the games in
• 33:17
  twenty twenty three before the season even
• 33:20
  started.
• 33:21
  Yep.
• 33:22
  I have been a huge Jeff fan.
• 33:25
  I think he's awesome.
• 33:26
  I think he's great for the sport.
• 33:28
  And when you hear people like Colton say,
• 33:30
  there's nothing he's bad at.
• 33:34
  Him saying that means that dude's awesome
• 33:37
  and we do not appreciate him for what
• 33:40
  he can do.
• 33:43
  And soon he's going to be gone.
• 33:45
  Yeah.
• 33:46
  He keeps saying that.
• 33:47
  He's getting old.
• 33:48
  He's acknowledging... The thing is,
• 33:51
  I think he does...
• 33:52
  People think he's a bit... I mean,
• 33:56
  he's French, right?
• 33:58
  He's a little...
• 33:58
  He's just got a different...
• 33:59
  He's Canadian.
• 34:00
  French-Canadian.
• 34:01
  Okay.
• 34:02
  Well, he's just got a different humor.
• 34:04
  He can be a little...
• 34:07
  literal i guess i don't know but to
• 34:10
  me i i catch senses of humbleness from
• 34:14
  jeff and everyone else just thinks he's i
• 34:17
  don't know they're just like i don't like
• 34:19
  him he's rude he's pompous i don't i
• 34:23
  mean he acknowledges the field is coming
• 34:33
  I think he has very good self-awareness of
• 34:36
  where he stands in workouts,
• 34:38
  what his strengths and weaknesses are,
• 34:41
  whether he performed well or not to his
• 34:43
  expectations.
• 34:44
  I think he's very honest with where he
• 34:47
  is.
• 34:48
  He knows machines.
• 34:49
  He's not matching some of the bigger guys.
• 34:54
  There's a few other things that he's not
• 34:55
  as fast on.
• 34:58
  Notably,
• 34:59
  normally handstand walk or push up.
• 35:02
  I think it's handstand walk, maybe.
• 35:05
  But I don't know.
• 35:08
  Fergie says he likes to jacuzzi.
• 35:10
  Yes, he does.
• 35:13
  That was peak Jeff time.
• 35:15
  I loved those interviews.
• 35:19
  I thought Bella did awesome this weekend.
• 35:21
  And we're going to get into the broadcast
• 35:22
  in a second.
• 35:23
  So then we come down to the final
• 35:24
  two events today.
• 35:28
  I did not see what happened in event
• 35:31
  five happening.
• 35:34
  Oh, I didn't even see event five.
• 35:35
  You guys were talking and I was driving.
• 35:37
  So like I,
• 35:39
  the shakeup that that event gave to the
• 35:42
  entire weekend on both the men and women's
• 35:45
  side, I didn't,
• 35:46
  I did not see that coming.
• 35:49
  And to me that says that means it
• 35:51
  was a pretty well-programmed weekend.
• 35:55
  when you can't predict stuff like that.
• 36:00
  There were a lot of misses on the
• 36:01
  handstand walk obstacle course,
• 36:03
  like that implement really impacted that
• 36:07
  workout.
• 36:09
  Um, a lot.
• 36:11
  Was there something wrong with lane seven?
• 36:15
  No.
• 36:16
  What happened with lane seven?
• 36:17
  Apparently everyone like had a problem in
• 36:19
  lane seven.
• 36:20
  Like, no, they're,
• 36:22
  How would there be a problem in Lansing?
• 36:24
  I don't know that, that.
• 36:25
  Like the obstacle course is a little bit
• 36:29
  like one.
• 36:31
  Interesting.
• 36:33
  No,
• 36:33
  it's just that Colton and Lucy didn't have
• 36:35
  a good event.
• 36:37
  I don't think it was just them.
• 36:40
  There was only four heats.
• 36:41
  Okay.
• 36:42
  Well, I,
• 36:42
  I think three out of four people had
• 36:44
  like complete meltdowns in that lane.
• 36:47
  I did not expect.
• 36:48
  It was a coincidence.
• 36:51
  See,
• 36:51
  like when Colton was in third at the
• 36:53
  beginning of the day,
• 36:55
  I didn't expect him to drop today with
• 36:57
  the two workouts that were there.
• 36:59
  Yeah.
• 37:01
  I thought, okay,
• 37:02
  maybe he's not as fast rope climbing.
• 37:04
  Maybe he's not as fast on his hand
• 37:06
  because he's like a smaller athlete.
• 37:09
  But he'll make up some time on his
• 37:10
  transition.
• 37:11
  He'll be aggressive.
• 37:12
  He'll front squat like no other.
• 37:16
  And then he struggled a little bit.
• 37:17
  And I was like, oh,
• 37:18
  I did not expect that.
• 37:20
  That one took me by surprise.
• 37:22
  And then Lucy as well,
• 37:23
  I didn't expect as much.
• 37:25
  She's great on her hands.
• 37:27
  Great on her hands.
• 37:28
  We haven't seen the obstacle in forever.
• 37:31
  Yeah, true.
• 37:34
  And that's an implement that, like,
• 37:35
  it depends if you have it at your
• 37:37
  gym.
• 37:37
  Like, I don't have one at my gym.
• 37:38
  I have one that's wooden, like, made.
• 37:40
  But, like,
• 37:41
  I don't use it very often because I
• 37:42
  don't want to fall on that.
• 37:44
  I might bring it out once every three
• 37:46
  years.
• 37:47
  So Colton has never been good at legless.
• 37:50
  He has, what,
• 37:51
  one or two extra pulls around.
• 37:54
  That was six times two.
• 37:56
  That's twelve reps of that.
• 37:58
  He's good on his hands,
• 37:59
  but he's not fast.
• 38:01
  We haven't seen him on an obstacle in
• 38:02
  forever.
• 38:04
  Lucy, her wrist maybe is good on flat,
• 38:08
  and then the minute you have to do
• 38:09
  the stairs and the ramp,
• 38:11
  maybe that puts it in a weird position.
• 38:15
  And we talked about this before the
• 38:17
  workout,
• 38:17
  but like how much was the day before
• 38:19
  going to impact like today?
• 38:21
  Because like that toaster bar one,
• 38:25
  like before the weekend even began,
• 38:27
  like Lucy said that she tested that
• 38:29
  workout and on her story, she's like,
• 38:30
  how do you get rid of like soreness
• 38:32
  in your core?
• 38:32
  Because like,
• 38:33
  she was so sore from testing that workout.
• 38:35
  And I can just imagine how the athletes
• 38:37
  felt after Gwen.
• 38:39
  I mean the run,
• 38:40
  like any type of run uphill,
• 38:41
  like I'm sure little muscles that you
• 38:43
  haven't used in a while are sore.
• 38:45
  Yeah.
• 38:46
  Um,
• 38:47
  she said that her core was sore after,
• 38:48
  or for the rope climb.
• 38:49
  So a lot of just accumulation of grip
• 38:53
  fatigue.
• 38:54
  There was a lot of grip this weekend.
• 38:57
  Um, and then before lane seven,
• 39:01
  go back and watch Lucy's rope climbs.
• 39:03
  Okay.
• 39:04
  They were trash.
• 39:05
  Okay.
• 39:06
  Fair.
• 39:06
  And like,
• 39:06
  and so in Colton's are going to be
• 39:08
  worse than others too.
• 39:09
  So that's fair.
• 39:09
  Those were the two in that lane.
• 39:11
  She was only moving two feet per pool.
• 39:16
  I think grip was the main issue this
• 39:19
  weekend.
• 39:20
  Um, you're,
• 39:21
  you're going to be smoked on grip from
• 39:23
  Glenn.
• 39:23
  You're going to be smoked on grip from
• 39:25
  the total bar.
• 39:27
  And then you go to legless me personally,
• 39:31
  handstand walking,
• 39:32
  especially on like that rant that like
• 39:34
  that,
• 39:34
  I think would have extra blown up my
• 39:36
  grip.
• 39:37
  Hey, my,
• 39:38
  when I do grip stuff with handstand walk,
• 39:40
  I feel it tremendously.
• 39:42
  I know not everyone does.
• 39:44
  Um, but I think, um,
• 39:45
  Like the opening of the forearm and the
• 39:48
  handstand walk and the extension of the
• 39:49
  wrist.
• 39:52
  Benita is asking who got hurt on the
• 39:53
  ramp.
• 39:54
  It was Olivia Geisthardt.
• 39:55
  Yeah.
• 39:56
  She came back and competed in event six.
• 39:59
  Basically hyperextended the knee.
• 40:03
  I think so.
• 40:06
  Did you hear from someone who would know?
• 40:09
  it would taylor had put in sentinel that
• 40:12
  they had looked at like wasn't nothing was
• 40:13
  torn and she came back out so that's
• 40:15
  great yeah um so that one shook up
• 40:23
  the leaderboard a lot um but paige and
• 40:27
  emma stayed consistent they were
• 40:31
  consistent all weekend long
• 40:33
  By the end of event five,
• 40:35
  it was pretty much a done deal that
• 40:37
  those two are going to be your top
• 40:38
  two.
• 40:39
  And the fight was going to be for
• 40:41
  third.
• 40:43
  And the last event came down to it.
• 40:47
  The same thing happened on the men's side.
• 40:50
  Only it was still in doubt whether Jeff
• 40:54
  could overtake Roman and Victor.
• 40:57
  Austin needed a lot of help to get
• 41:00
  into third.
• 41:01
  Yeah.
• 41:04
  and we were talking before we went on
• 41:05
  the air carolyn and i uh that she
• 41:08
  was listening to brian friend if austin
• 41:10
  hatfield out touches roman and victor jeff
• 41:14
  wins oh wow i think like i think
• 41:17
  they're like half a second faster like
• 41:20
  half a second faster to the buzzer maybe
• 41:23
  with a little bit more urgency then you
• 41:25
  get a flip there
• 41:27
  But it's crazy that both athletes that we,
• 41:30
  a lot of people, not all of us,
• 41:31
  but a lot of people pick going in
• 41:33
  was Lucy and Jeff.
• 41:34
  They were in third place,
• 41:35
  both of them going into that event.
• 41:37
  Both of them win the workout.
• 41:39
  Um,
• 41:41
  like with the game sticking on the line,
• 41:44
  they find a gear that I think not
• 41:47
  many people can get to.
• 41:48
  And like Lucy was on a mission during
• 41:52
  those lunges.
• 41:53
  She's one of the best to like swing
• 41:55
  her arms.
• 41:56
  If you look at her technique,
• 41:57
  she did it really well.
• 41:58
  I think it was at the WFP before.
• 42:00
  Um,
• 42:02
  Was it Rogue as well?
• 42:03
  Yeah.
• 42:03
  Like very,
• 42:05
  very efficient mover with the lunges and
• 42:08
  made up so much ground and just held
• 42:09
  on to those dumbbells.
• 42:10
  Like there was nothing that was going to
• 42:12
  make her drop those dumbbells and not get
• 42:13
  her ticket.
• 42:15
  So like with her, yeah,
• 42:16
  just like being against the ropes,
• 42:18
  like there's no one better than Lucy.
• 42:20
  The finishes were unreal.
• 42:23
  I felt bad for Gabby Magala on the
• 42:25
  last event.
• 42:27
  I think the two hundred double unders were
• 42:29
  a lot on that Achilles.
• 42:30
  Mm hmm.
• 42:32
  And that's the one place that hurt her.
• 42:37
  Other than that,
• 42:38
  she was very competitive all weekend long
• 42:41
  in a very stacked field.
• 42:44
  She did good.
• 42:45
  She never had a top three, did she?
• 42:48
  Never really was...
• 42:51
  I mean,
• 42:51
  Paige was almost top three throughout.
• 42:54
  Same with Emma, basically.
• 42:55
  Lucy, you know, pretty consistent.
• 42:58
  She was just consistent around, I think,
• 42:59
  like six or seven.
• 43:00
  Like just a step behind those top girls.
• 43:07
  So it ends up on the men's side.
• 43:10
  Victor Hoffer wins it through like the
• 43:13
  fourth tie break.
• 43:16
  Because they tied and score him and Roman.
• 43:18
  Okay.
• 43:19
  They tied for firsts.
• 43:21
  They tied for seconds.
• 43:23
  Victor had one more third than Roman did.
• 43:26
  If Jeff had gone to like five more
• 43:30
  points, he wins a tiebreaker?
• 43:32
  I believe so.
• 43:33
  He would have two wins.
• 43:34
  He has two wins.
• 43:35
  Last one, yeah.
• 43:40
  What a weekend for Hoffer.
• 43:42
  And then Jeff Adler takes third.
• 43:44
  So those are your games tickets.
• 43:46
  And then on the women's side,
• 43:48
  Paige Powers, so impressive.
• 43:49
  Paige Rogers, sorry.
• 43:51
  It's going to be a while for me
• 43:52
  to get that right.
• 43:53
  Paige Rogers, what an amazing weekend.
• 43:58
  Flat out.
• 43:59
  Yeah, dominant.
• 44:01
  And she is so unassuming.
• 44:04
  Like,
• 44:04
  she's not jacked like the rest of the
• 44:06
  women.
• 44:07
  She just,
• 44:09
  her body does everything it needs to do.
• 44:13
  She's good.
• 44:14
  She kind of did the same thing at
• 44:15
  Crash.
• 44:15
  She was just first or second.
• 44:18
  First or second.
• 44:20
  No holes.
• 44:24
  Emma Lawson comes in second.
• 44:28
  We talked about it.
• 44:30
  Man,
• 44:31
  those two are going to be fun to
• 44:33
  watch for the next handful of years.
• 44:37
  What a rivalry that is going to be.
• 44:39
  And they actually talked about it in the
• 44:41
  post-workout interview after event five
• 44:45
  today that since Atlas Games in twenty
• 44:49
  twenty one.
• 44:51
  I was at that one.
• 44:52
  Yeah,
• 44:52
  they've been going back and forth ever
• 44:54
  since then.
• 44:56
  And and they enjoy the rivalry,
• 44:59
  which I think is really cool.
• 45:02
  Yeah, two great athletes.
• 45:05
  Like you looked at that podium this
• 45:06
  weekend and you're looking towards the
• 45:08
  games and you're like,
• 45:09
  this could be the three that are fighting
• 45:10
  for the podium there, you know,
• 45:13
  and all three of them punch their ticket
• 45:14
  early, you know, add in Alex Kazan,
• 45:17
  Daniel Brandon, Ariel Owen.
• 45:19
  And like, that's, you know,
• 45:22
  I'm just missing a few that are really
• 45:24
  like podium contenders.
• 45:29
  Maybe Miriam,
• 45:30
  if she has a good season this year.
• 45:32
  I think those three have the least amount
• 45:33
  of holes.
• 45:35
  It was top three right there.
• 45:37
  Yeah.
• 45:38
  I mean,
• 45:38
  Lucy still has a hole if you're testing
• 45:40
  a max lift,
• 45:41
  but I think she's probably one of the
• 45:44
  best on the machines.
• 45:44
  One of the best runners like everywhere
• 45:46
  else is perfect basically.
• 45:49
  Um, so yeah.
• 45:52
  And then Lucy gets her ticket.
• 45:54
  So those three are done.
• 45:56
  They have till end of July to train,
• 46:00
  relax, get their mind right.
• 46:03
  And then you look at all the athletes
• 46:04
  that are now looking at every sanctional
• 46:07
  or sanctional semifinal,
• 46:09
  signed up for a bunch back-to-back
• 46:10
  weekends, trying to figure it out now.
• 46:16
  Like, Roman had signed up for, what,
• 46:17
  four of them?
• 46:18
  Yes.
• 46:19
  He's got all kinds of them.
• 46:20
  Does he cancel them all?
• 46:21
  Does he go for money?
• 46:25
  Well,
• 46:25
  Syndicate won't let him come because they
• 46:27
  only let people who qualify.
• 46:30
  That's true.
• 46:31
  Fergie gave us four ninety nine to buy
• 46:34
  Jamie a ring light.
• 46:35
  I have one.
• 46:36
  The light's not it was just directly on
• 46:38
  me.
• 46:38
  Looks like it's not in this room.
• 46:40
  I fixed it.
• 46:43
  He said much better.
• 46:44
  See, look how fast your money works here.
• 46:47
  Fergie.
• 46:50
  Send us more and I'll go like this.
• 46:56
  For the great word voices tonight.
• 47:03
  I hope he cancels them.
• 47:04
  I hope he cancels them ASAP so somebody
• 47:06
  can backfill if needed and someone else
• 47:08
  can get a shot.
• 47:10
  Do you think all the athletes go to
• 47:12
  Legends?
• 47:13
  Is Legends the only one this next weekend
• 47:15
  or is there more?
• 47:20
  I don't know if there's another.
• 47:21
  I don't think any of the other overseas
• 47:23
  ones are at the same time.
• 47:24
  I think it's just Legends this next
• 47:25
  weekend.
• 47:27
  There's kind of a lot of people signed
• 47:28
  up.
• 47:28
  There's quite a few that have their names
• 47:30
  on that Legends leaderboard.
• 47:32
  I think like six or seven of the
• 47:33
  females.
• 47:34
  Probably three to four of the male
• 47:36
  athletes.
• 47:40
  I don't know.
• 47:42
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 47:46
  Who do you got on there?
• 47:48
  Hayley?
• 47:49
  Is Kyra on there?
• 47:52
  But Kyra's going to Australia, right?
• 47:54
  Yeah.
• 47:57
  That's the rumor.
• 47:58
  She signed up for Torian?
• 48:02
  That's the rumor out there.
• 48:03
  Did she get an invite?
• 48:06
  I don't know anything about the invites at
• 48:08
  Torian.
• 48:09
  I would be guessing.
• 48:11
  I bet a lot of people are mad
• 48:13
  they didn't do Far East.
• 48:15
  And a few of the other ones because
• 48:21
  now you're looking and you're like,
• 48:23
  I mean,
• 48:23
  all of these other ones are stacked too.
• 48:28
  I just want to thank all the athletes
• 48:29
  for all coming that did come because what
• 48:33
  a show this weekend.
• 48:36
  And we wouldn't have had that show if
• 48:38
  everybody was allowed to piecemeal it out
• 48:41
  around the world.
• 48:43
  It was a great show this weekend.
• 48:47
  I enjoyed seeing Rebecca Fuseli there.
• 48:50
  I did too.
• 48:50
  She held her own.
• 48:52
  I think she did great.
• 48:55
  She did awesome.
• 48:57
  Vicky was there.
• 48:58
  She asked me,
• 48:59
  do you think that Rebecca takes this as
• 49:04
  a win this weekend?
• 49:05
  Or is she going to be upset she
• 49:07
  didn't get a games ticket?
• 49:08
  And I think she knows herself enough to
• 49:11
  know where she stands.
• 49:13
  And she made a post after Gwen that
• 49:17
  she finished it.
• 49:18
  Last time she was at Mayhem,
• 49:20
  she didn't finish a single workout.
• 49:23
  Yeah, in twenty twenty.
• 49:24
  Was that the last time I met?
• 49:26
  Twenty twenty.
• 49:27
  That's that's a cool post.
• 49:30
  And she's top ten.
• 49:33
  She did so good.
• 49:34
  I don't know how you don't take that
• 49:36
  as a win.
• 49:37
  You weren't even planning on going.
• 49:38
  Last minute decided to go there,
• 49:41
  showed up and got top ten.
• 49:44
  I highly doubt that she expected to get
• 49:46
  a games ticket there.
• 49:48
  Looking at the field, it's the first one.
• 49:50
  It's completely stacked.
• 49:51
  All of the top girls haven't gotten their
• 49:53
  spot yet,
• 49:53
  and here they are going to get those
• 49:55
  spots.
• 49:56
  You're basically just getting some
• 49:57
  experience before your next real shot at a
• 50:01
  spot.
• 50:03
  She did awesome.
• 50:04
  It was really fun to watch her.
• 50:07
  Jar Jar says, Kerstetter, Rolf, Milligan,
• 50:10
  Adams, Bernadine, Domet,
• 50:12
  and Wishart are all on the Legends lineup.
• 50:15
  At one point,
• 50:16
  Bernadine wasn't doing the one workout
• 50:18
  with the toes to bars or like,
• 50:20
  didn't she like sit out?
• 50:21
  Like what happened?
• 50:21
  Was she injured or was she just kind
• 50:22
  of not, didn't want to get like Rondo?
• 50:24
  So I don't know if she didn't finish
• 50:27
  the buy-in in round three.
• 50:30
  So she wasn't allowed to do round four.
• 50:32
  Oh, I don't know though.
• 50:34
  Cause that I was like,
• 50:36
  I wasn't sure whether she was injured or
• 50:37
  just kind of being like, okay,
• 50:38
  well I'm last.
• 50:39
  Why would I kill my core right now?
• 50:42
  Aaron said the same thing.
• 50:43
  I don't know that Rich would have been
• 50:45
  too fond of that move,
• 50:47
  but maybe he doesn't care.
• 50:48
  I feel like you've got to do the
• 50:49
  buy-in every round.
• 50:52
  Who knows?
• 50:53
  There was a minimum work requirement on
• 50:55
  that.
• 50:56
  Right.
• 50:57
  For each round.
• 51:03
  Chick-fil-A sponsored the Bayham Classic
• 51:06
  Breakfast of Games Champions.
• 51:08
  They like their Chick-fil-A there.
• 51:10
  when i did the um service cup there
• 51:13
  they had ordered a bunch of chick-fil-a
• 51:15
  for the athletes like breakfast lunch was
• 51:20
  all there i had never had it before
• 51:21
  until that day so they do love their
• 51:24
  chick-fil-a um
• 51:29
  So I love the programming.
• 51:31
  I thought it was well thought out.
• 51:33
  I know we were critical of the short
• 51:36
  cap.
• 51:36
  Yeah.
• 51:37
  Must event.
• 51:38
  But other than that, like I,
• 51:40
  it was watchable.
• 51:42
  It was very,
• 51:43
  very fun to watch and we had a
• 51:45
  lot of close finishes.
• 51:50
  Yeah,
• 51:51
  I like how close the camera was to
• 51:52
  the floor.
• 51:53
  They often did like zoom outs that you
• 51:54
  could see where the race was.
• 51:57
  Like so many times you only get to
• 51:58
  see one or two athletes.
• 51:59
  I really thought they did a good job
• 52:01
  of like showing the field.
• 52:03
  And then when people were close to
• 52:04
  finishing,
• 52:05
  kind of backing away and seeing the races
• 52:07
  happening.
• 52:08
  Yeah, it was awesome.
• 52:10
  If you've never been to Mayhem,
• 52:11
  there's like an upstairs loft,
• 52:16
  for lack of a better term.
• 52:17
  They had a camera up there,
• 52:18
  and that's where Rich and Austin and Sean
• 52:21
  were sitting.
• 52:23
  When they did that angle from the corner
• 52:24
  from up there, you could see everything.
• 52:28
  It's a really good wide shot,
• 52:32
  and they used that a lot,
• 52:33
  which I loved,
• 52:35
  because you could see then the people
• 52:36
  moving down the floor.
• 52:40
  That was great.
• 52:42
  If I was being hypercritical,
• 52:45
  they did show a lot of people after
• 52:46
  they finished walking around.
• 52:49
  And in my mind, I'm done with them.
• 52:51
  I agree.
• 52:52
  Like, congrats.
• 52:54
  Go celebrate.
• 52:55
  Do your thing.
• 52:56
  I want to see who's left on the
• 52:57
  floor.
• 52:59
  But it happens in every CrossFit
• 53:01
  broadcast.
• 53:03
  I'll probably be preaching till the day I
• 53:04
  die.
• 53:05
  We will.
• 53:06
  So that's being hypercritical.
• 53:09
  Yeah.
• 53:09
  Other than that,
• 53:10
  I thought it was a great viewing
• 53:12
  experience for forever for the whole
• 53:15
  thing.
• 53:17
  And then I only have one criticism of
• 53:19
  the, of the broadcast team.
• 53:23
  I know that the internet tells rich what
• 53:24
  they like and they don't like.
• 53:28
  You don't have to settle your beefs.
• 53:30
  Every single one of them on air.
• 53:34
  You are having an amazing,
• 53:36
  an amazing event and an amazing broadcast.
• 53:41
  Celebrate it.
• 53:42
  Don't get caught up in their beef.
• 53:45
  He shouldn't even be looking at comments.
• 53:48
  See,
• 53:48
  I liked it because like anything that was
• 53:50
  getting addressed, like he would just,
• 53:52
  he would talk about it.
• 53:53
  But that's what his podcast is for.
• 53:55
  Yeah.
• 53:56
  And I like it on his podcast.
• 53:58
  I didn't like it during the broadcast.
• 54:00
  I want to know about the athletes that
• 54:01
  are out on the floor.
• 54:04
  That's what I want to know about.
• 54:06
  I want you to tell me about the
• 54:07
  programming.
• 54:08
  I want you to tell me about the
• 54:09
  strategies.
• 54:10
  I want you to tell me about all
• 54:12
  that stuff.
• 54:13
  I don't care what Jason Hopper is icing
• 54:15
  this weekend and that he,
• 54:17
  he didn't show up.
• 54:19
  He did.
• 54:24
  People are going to think twice about
• 54:26
  dropping out of mayhem next year.
• 54:28
  If they host.
• 54:32
  I did like his insights on the workouts,
• 54:35
  the testing.
• 54:36
  I thought that was very valuable to the
• 54:38
  broadcast.
• 54:40
  Good addition there.
• 54:42
  Larry Young,
• 54:42
  thank you for the four ninety nine.
• 54:44
  Rebecca has some of the best instructional
• 54:46
  videos.
• 54:46
  She loves it and it shows totally some
• 54:50
  of the best content in general.
• 54:52
  Most relatable.
• 54:53
  Her and Ariel crush it on the woman's
• 54:55
  side or CrossFit side of reels.
• 54:59
  Yeah, the insight that Rich gave,
• 55:01
  like with the jump rope,
• 55:03
  that he showed up and forgot his own
• 55:05
  rope and had to use a class rope,
• 55:06
  and that's what gave him the idea so
• 55:09
  that the athletes couldn't use their own
• 55:11
  jump rope.
• 55:12
  I thought that was awesome.
• 55:13
  Those are the things I want in a
• 55:15
  broadcast.
• 55:19
  If you were doing a pre-show and a
• 55:20
  post-show, I'll take your beefs there too.
• 55:23
  Yeah.
• 55:25
  But when I've got like Emma and Paige
• 55:26
  and Lucy on the floor competing for the
• 55:29
  win,
• 55:30
  I want to hear about them.
• 55:34
  Reasonable.
• 55:36
  I agree.
• 55:38
  Everything else was awesome.
• 55:39
  I loved every bit of it.
• 55:41
  That's the one thing that got annoying to
• 55:42
  me by today.
• 55:46
  they crushed it good job mayhem it's a
• 55:48
  good event sets a standard for the the
• 55:52
  other competitions in terms of programming
• 55:54
  in terms of broadcasts how to treat the
• 55:56
  athletes um they just they do such a
• 56:00
  good job like when i was there competing
• 56:03
  in what november i was like damn like
• 56:06
  they just make the athletes feel special
• 56:08
  um yeah they had some good hookups too
• 56:10
  for the athletes in their um
• 56:13
  like uh registration like they got mats
• 56:17
  bags they had i said that here and
• 56:19
  i was like they got hooked up yeah
• 56:22
  it makes it easier when there's twenty
• 56:23
  athletes forty athletes total for sure
• 56:27
  because we're getting what like a jersey
• 56:29
  and sunglasses um vicky says my beef was
• 56:33
  mali allo's audio sucked i know he could
• 56:37
  have been turned up a little bit more
• 56:39
  But again, it was sponsored by PBS,
• 56:43
  so they were just talking like they're on
• 56:45
  NPR.
• 56:47
  And that was Austin's role,
• 56:49
  celebrating PBS and its fifty years of
• 56:51
  public broadcast network.
• 56:59
  So, I have to take issue with something.
• 57:03
  Fergie says that Rebecca is the next
• 57:06
  Christy Aramo.
• 57:08
  No, she's not.
• 57:09
  Christy,
• 57:11
  that is underselling what Christy did.
• 57:13
  Christy's a top ten athlete like five
• 57:16
  years,
• 57:16
  six years in a row or something crazy
• 57:18
  like that.
• 57:19
  She's one of the best all-time
• 57:20
  CrossFitters.
• 57:21
  Yeah.
• 57:22
  Most consistent.
• 57:23
  Yeah.
• 57:24
  You can't compare a consistent top ten
• 57:26
  finisher with Rebecca trying to make the
• 57:29
  games.
• 57:30
  Yeah.
• 57:31
  I mean, because Christy's smaller.
• 57:33
  Christy was incredibly strong.
• 57:36
  And an incredible runner,
• 57:38
  which Rebecca is not like the fastest for
• 57:41
  like running distance.
• 57:46
  Yeah.
• 57:46
  Sorry.
• 57:48
  Hit a little too close to home.
• 57:50
  I mean,
• 57:50
  you could say that about Holta too,
• 57:51
  like smaller.
• 57:53
  Yeah.
• 57:53
  Holta is probably,
• 57:55
  she's a better version of Kristen.
• 57:58
  Kristen is a better version of Aramil.
• 58:00
  Yeah.
• 58:01
  Christy.
• 58:01
  There's,
• 58:03
  They're both very similar.
• 58:04
  Those are my two favorite athletes when I
• 58:08
  was at the Games because I was like,
• 58:10
  oh, they're smaller and they're so good.
• 58:19
  I was sad JR never came up to
• 58:21
  the booth to give commentary.
• 58:22
  Again.
• 58:26
  In the middle of it,
• 58:26
  I didn't miss anything.
• 58:27
  I thought they were all giving the great
• 58:29
  explanation.
• 58:30
  And they gave JR shout-outs for his part
• 58:34
  in what they've done.
• 58:41
  Yeah,
• 58:41
  I just wonder how much input he had
• 58:44
  on the programming.
• 58:47
  If he had a lot, then yeah,
• 58:48
  it would have been nice to have him
• 58:49
  up there.
• 58:49
  It sounds like he had quite a bit.
• 58:52
  Yeah,
• 58:52
  it would have been nice to have him
• 58:53
  up there occasionally and give some...
• 58:55
  Thought behind some of it.
• 58:57
  I like to hear what JR has to
• 58:59
  say.
• 59:03
  Vicki says,
• 59:04
  I say Becca is a little like Colton
• 59:06
  in that she's the people's champ of sorts.
• 59:09
  I would not disagree with that.
• 59:12
  She is.
• 59:13
  She is so good at the media.
• 59:16
  So good.
• 59:19
  She's yeah.
• 59:21
  And she loves CrossFit.
• 59:23
  And she talks CrossFit.
• 59:25
  And she teaches CrossFit.
• 59:26
  She coaches it.
• 59:28
  She does all of it.
• 59:29
  She's a great ambassador for everything
• 59:31
  that is CrossFit.
• 59:35
  Agree.
• 59:38
  All right.
• 59:38
  So that is...
• 59:43
  Did we learn anything about any of the
• 59:45
  athletes this weekend?
• 59:47
  I will tell you this.
• 59:48
  I learned that a healthy Victor Hoffer is
• 59:51
  pretty damn good.
• 59:53
  Yeah.
• 59:55
  Dangerous.
• 59:57
  I did not have him.
• 59:58
  I'm not surprised to see him.
• 59:59
  I'm not surprised to see him excel with
• 1:00:01
  this type of programming.
• 1:00:02
  Like there's,
• 1:00:07
  Hoffer's a very good squatter.
• 1:00:09
  Yep.
• 1:00:09
  And he's extremely good high skill
• 1:00:11
  gymnastics.
• 1:00:12
  Yep.
• 1:00:13
  What I was the most impressed with him
• 1:00:15
  is his seventh place on the run.
• 1:00:17
  That was the most impressive part of
• 1:00:19
  Hoffer's weekend.
• 1:00:21
  All the other wads,
• 1:00:22
  nothing surprised me because they were in
• 1:00:24
  his wheelhouse of, um, of events.
• 1:00:27
  Like I did the demo team with him
• 1:00:29
  the one year and I was extremely impressed
• 1:00:31
  with his squatting capacity and just his
• 1:00:33
  high skill gymnastics.
• 1:00:35
  And then he got injured and injured.
• 1:00:37
  But to see him do well on the
• 1:00:39
  run, I was like, okay,
• 1:00:41
  he's closed that hole a little bit.
• 1:00:43
  But yeah, everything else was, yeah,
• 1:00:46
  he was good.
• 1:00:49
  I understand the talent has always been
• 1:00:51
  there, but the health has never been.
• 1:00:56
  Shout out to his coach though.
• 1:00:58
  I don't think he gets enough credit.
• 1:01:00
  Um, like he,
• 1:01:02
  I like his stuff online a lot too.
• 1:01:04
  I think he's a very smart coach.
• 1:01:06
  He's, he's does creative, um,
• 1:01:09
  parametric stuff too, that I like,
• 1:01:11
  or just power based type of training.
• 1:01:13
  And I think he's doing a good job
• 1:01:15
  with, uh,
• 1:01:16
  with Victor because Victor came from what
• 1:01:18
  HWPL.
• 1:01:20
  And now he's with Uday.
• 1:01:22
  And I think he does a really good
• 1:01:23
  job with the programming with a lot of
• 1:01:24
  the European athletes.
• 1:01:26
  But we never talk about him.
• 1:01:28
  That may have been a good move.
• 1:01:32
  Yeah.
• 1:01:33
  And that could have been what, you know,
• 1:01:35
  has gotten him stronger and recovered from
• 1:01:37
  maybe some of his injuries.
• 1:01:40
  Andre Houdet is one of the coolest dudes
• 1:01:43
  ever.
• 1:01:43
  I talked to him at length last year
• 1:01:45
  at the age group games because he had
• 1:01:47
  some athletes there competing at the age
• 1:01:50
  group.
• 1:01:52
  What a cool dude.
• 1:01:54
  And he loves coaching.
• 1:01:56
  He loves coaching and training more than
• 1:01:58
  he loved competing.
• 1:02:01
  And now he's doing what he loves and
• 1:02:03
  it's so cool.
• 1:02:07
  PC says that No Shortcuts is gaining
• 1:02:10
  traction in Europe.
• 1:02:11
  Yeah,
• 1:02:13
  I think between the No Shortcut one and
• 1:02:16
  the Krieger, those are the two,
• 1:02:19
  I would say,
• 1:02:19
  European big programs right now.
• 1:02:26
  Anything else we learned from athletes
• 1:02:28
  this weekend?
• 1:02:30
  Impressive by Rebecca.
• 1:02:34
  Who else?
• 1:02:38
  I learned Gabby's got a little bit more
• 1:02:40
  to go on that Achilles and it,
• 1:02:43
  and it's not that she's not good.
• 1:02:44
  It's that those injuries just take time.
• 1:02:47
  Yeah.
• 1:02:48
  Cause running, she should be a top three,
• 1:02:50
  five in that running event for sure.
• 1:02:56
  She,
• 1:02:56
  and she would never break that many times
• 1:02:58
  on a double under, um,
• 1:03:05
  I'm just excited for the season.
• 1:03:09
  I feel like a lot of people that
• 1:03:10
  weren't there are excited for the next
• 1:03:13
  weekends and are just fired up from
• 1:03:16
  watching the weekend,
• 1:03:17
  watching your friends compete,
• 1:03:19
  your competitors compete.
• 1:03:21
  It was a great way to start the
• 1:03:23
  semifinal season.
• 1:03:25
  Where did Kyra finish?
• 1:03:28
  Like, twelfth or something.
• 1:03:29
  Maybe tenth.
• 1:03:30
  Somewhere in there.
• 1:03:32
  Let me see.
• 1:03:34
  Uh,
• 1:03:34
  Jar Jar says uphill running is so much
• 1:03:36
  harder on the Achilles too.
• 1:03:37
  Yeah.
• 1:03:40
  I want to bring up this cause I
• 1:03:41
  think this was a really cool story from
• 1:03:43
  the weekend as well.
• 1:03:44
  Uh, Daniel, Daniel Coos, um,
• 1:03:47
  was a last minute backfill called the
• 1:03:51
  night before the event started.
• 1:03:53
  Isn't even training to compete, but said,
• 1:03:56
  what the hell?
• 1:03:56
  Let's give it a shot.
• 1:03:58
  I'm like Carolyn Prevo.
• 1:04:00
  I just stay in shape all the time.
• 1:04:02
  Let's go.
• 1:04:04
  Showed up and did not finish last,
• 1:04:06
  which was his goal.
• 1:04:09
  And finished fourth in event five,
• 1:04:11
  I think.
• 1:04:14
  Pretty cool.
• 1:04:15
  Yeah, the handstand walk one,
• 1:04:16
  he did really well.
• 1:04:16
  I think it was second in his heat
• 1:04:18
  or something like that.
• 1:04:20
  So just got to love when, you know,
• 1:04:24
  it's the classic underdog story guy off
• 1:04:26
  the street.
• 1:04:27
  And then he comes in and because he's
• 1:04:29
  replacing Hopper,
• 1:04:31
  he has the t-shirt with the black marker
• 1:04:33
  that says Coos across the front.
• 1:04:36
  Love that.
• 1:04:38
  Just embraced his whole role in the
• 1:04:40
  weekend.
• 1:04:41
  And at the end of the day,
• 1:04:43
  he did way better than Kale Lehman.
• 1:04:46
  Yeah.
• 1:04:46
  Yeah.
• 1:04:50
  So,
• 1:04:51
  but all I could think about as I
• 1:04:52
  was watching him is he is like Carolyn,
• 1:04:55
  just he trains all the time,
• 1:04:57
  regardless of what he's,
• 1:04:58
  whether he's going for, um,
• 1:05:02
  a competition or not.
• 1:05:04
  And he's ready at a moment's notice.
• 1:05:06
  Wasn't he like in the middle of schooling,
• 1:05:09
  like just finished something up.
• 1:05:10
  Yeah.
• 1:05:11
  And he's trying to be a pilot at
• 1:05:12
  the same time.
• 1:05:12
  I don't know that he, I don't,
• 1:05:14
  I think he admitted that he's not in
• 1:05:15
  like full training shape.
• 1:05:17
  He just was willing to like come out.
• 1:05:22
  Yeah, I just thought it was awesome.
• 1:05:24
  Yeah,
• 1:05:25
  it was cool to see him out there.
• 1:05:35
  Do you guys think the non-qualifiers are
• 1:05:38
  going to roll to Legends this week?
• 1:05:41
  I think someone like Emily Rolfe may.
• 1:05:44
  I think Kyra will be there.
• 1:05:48
  I think Olivia will.
• 1:05:49
  Yeah.
• 1:05:52
  I mean,
• 1:05:52
  they can also look at the workouts too
• 1:05:54
  and make a decision.
• 1:05:56
  Haley would be the one that I would
• 1:05:57
  question whether she would go out there.
• 1:06:01
  Well,
• 1:06:01
  there's two more workouts to get
• 1:06:03
  announced.
• 1:06:04
  Like if,
• 1:06:04
  and they'll get announced tomorrow or
• 1:06:06
  today,
• 1:06:07
  but I know all the details come out
• 1:06:09
  tomorrow.
• 1:06:09
  Right.
• 1:06:11
  Do you wait until you see all six
• 1:06:12
  and you're like, okay, well this,
• 1:06:13
  these two workouts are bad for me.
• 1:06:17
  I mean, it's the flaw of the system,
• 1:06:19
  but you could do that.
• 1:06:20
  You accept your registration,
• 1:06:23
  you look at the workouts,
• 1:06:24
  and then you decide.
• 1:06:28
  Jar Jar says,
• 1:06:29
  if I have one complaint about Mayhem,
• 1:06:30
  it's how they hang out the wildcard
• 1:06:32
  invites.
• 1:06:33
  We talked about that at length before this
• 1:06:35
  thing.
• 1:06:36
  I don't believe any semifinal should give
• 1:06:38
  out invites based on past seasons, period.
• 1:06:43
  As it comes to backfills,
• 1:06:45
  these events are hung out to dry.
• 1:06:48
  Whoever they can get in the door to
• 1:06:50
  fill lanes, I can't blame them one bit.
• 1:06:56
  Who finished last for the women?
• 1:06:57
  Was it Colin Brander?
• 1:06:59
  Yeah.
• 1:06:59
  That's what I figured.
• 1:07:00
  She was a long time.
• 1:07:05
  Yeah, I'm surprised she got an invite.
• 1:07:10
  Um...
• 1:07:17
  Being invited to Mayhem is like being
• 1:07:18
  invited to a Texas chain gang.
• 1:07:21
  Yeah, it's a lot of pain.
• 1:07:28
  Okay.
• 1:07:30
  So I think that's it from Mayhem,
• 1:07:33
  what we learned.
• 1:07:34
  Had a great weekend, fun to watch.
• 1:07:36
  Great job to everyone involved there.
• 1:07:39
  Congratulations, Victor Hoffer,
• 1:07:42
  Roman Krennikoff, Jeff Adler,
• 1:07:45
  Paige Rogers,
• 1:07:47
  Lucy Campbell and Emma Lawson.
• 1:07:51
  Good pick, Scott.
• 1:07:53
  I picked the women's podium exactly.
• 1:07:58
  You had Lucy third?
• 1:08:00
  I had Lucy third.
• 1:08:01
  Did I have Lucy first?
• 1:08:05
  Lucy first and Paige third.
• 1:08:06
  No, I think I had Paige second.
• 1:08:10
  I think I had Lucy, Emma, then Paige.
• 1:08:14
  I had Paige higher.
• 1:08:18
  Now on the men's side, total trash.
• 1:08:24
  I don't know if it's just I just
• 1:08:25
  don't want Roman to have the spot or
• 1:08:28
  what.
• 1:08:28
  I just was not really rooting for him.
• 1:08:30
  He's too inconsistent to pick.
• 1:08:33
  I know.
• 1:08:34
  He did good.
• 1:08:35
  I'm annoyed.
• 1:08:37
  But I did not have Victor Hoffer.
• 1:08:40
  Where did Saxon end up?
• 1:08:42
  Was he sixth?
• 1:08:43
  Seventh?
• 1:08:44
  Somewhere around there.
• 1:08:48
  I think it was six.
• 1:08:50
  Austin, Colton.
• 1:08:51
  No, Austin was way down.
• 1:08:54
  No, Austin was like fourth.
• 1:08:56
  Austin was fourth.
• 1:08:58
  No, Colton was fifth.
• 1:08:59
  I have it right here.
• 1:09:02
  Colton was fifth.
• 1:09:04
  Oh, that sucks.
• 1:09:05
  Colton dropped that much.
• 1:09:07
  Okay.
• 1:09:08
  Okay, so it went Austin, Colton, Saxon.
• 1:09:15
  Yes.
• 1:09:16
  And then Callum Clements.
• 1:09:19
  Wow.
• 1:09:21
  He's one of the athletes.
• 1:09:22
  Didn't he qualify through the online
• 1:09:24
  semifinal last year?
• 1:09:27
  Am I wrong thinking that?
• 1:09:31
  You might be right there.
• 1:09:32
  Or am I thinking of something else?
• 1:09:33
  Someone else?
• 1:09:34
  No, you might be right.
• 1:09:35
  Like he is like eleventh or tenth last
• 1:09:37
  year.
• 1:09:41
  Maybe I think he was good online.
• 1:09:44
  It's just going to be interesting because
• 1:09:45
  there's so many,
• 1:09:47
  like there's so many good athletes.
• 1:09:49
  So very few spots,
• 1:09:50
  like a lot of people are going to
• 1:09:52
  be banking for those online spots.
• 1:09:53
  A lot of people, you know,
• 1:09:56
  and like someone like Ariel,
• 1:09:58
  she's going all in on the online.
• 1:09:59
  Yep.
• 1:10:01
  How many other athletes are going to do
• 1:10:02
  that?
• 1:10:03
  And then who's going to be left from
• 1:10:05
  all of these competitions that are just
• 1:10:07
  kind of just tight on spots.
• 1:10:13
  There are a lot of semifinals,
• 1:10:14
  but you can't do all of them.
• 1:10:16
  And a lot of them are on the
• 1:10:17
  same weekend.
• 1:10:17
  So if you pick the wrong one,
• 1:10:20
  you're going to be stuck in the online.
• 1:10:22
  That's going to be so competitive.
• 1:10:25
  Callum was a spoiler this weekend, too.
• 1:10:27
  He contributed to the shakeups.
• 1:10:30
  The last thing I did,
• 1:10:31
  Vicky did keep me informed as to what
• 1:10:33
  was going on at the venue.
• 1:10:35
  She said it was packed yesterday.
• 1:10:38
  Like had to get in early,
• 1:10:39
  had to fight for a place to stand.
• 1:10:41
  It was not as full today.
• 1:10:44
  And they actually sold single day tickets
• 1:10:46
  this year,
• 1:10:48
  which they did not do last year.
• 1:10:51
  So that probably contributed to that some.
• 1:10:55
  But if you didn't go today,
• 1:10:56
  you missed out.
• 1:10:57
  because there were some great finishes.
• 1:11:02
  But thank you to Vicki.
• 1:11:05
  Yesterday,
• 1:11:06
  her and her husband were right beside lane
• 1:11:09
  one on the side and got great video
• 1:11:17
  footage and a good sense of what was
• 1:11:20
  going on there.
• 1:11:22
  So next on the list is,
• 1:11:25
  if people didn't see it,
• 1:11:27
  This weekend,
• 1:11:28
  Danny Spiegel made her debut as an
• 1:11:31
  American gladiator.
• 1:11:35
  It's on Amazon Prime.
• 1:11:37
  She's in both of the first two episodes
• 1:11:40
  that have been released.
• 1:11:42
  She did pretty well in episode one as
• 1:11:46
  a gladiator.
• 1:11:47
  On episode two, wah, wah, wah.
• 1:11:51
  Really?
• 1:11:52
  Yeah.
• 1:11:52
  I haven't watched it.
• 1:11:56
  So it's the event where you have to
• 1:11:58
  swing from ring to ring to get from
• 1:12:00
  one side to the other.
• 1:12:02
  She got,
• 1:12:03
  she got passed quick by one of the
• 1:12:05
  gladiators and it, or not the contestants.
• 1:12:07
  Yeah.
• 1:12:08
  And the, the,
• 1:12:12
  the contestant was much smaller framed
• 1:12:15
  than Danny.
• 1:12:16
  And I think she just was a hair
• 1:12:17
  quicker.
• 1:12:20
  But I think the route that you take
• 1:12:23
  too, I think everybody was feeling out.
• 1:12:27
  Like this was the first time I saw
• 1:12:29
  her on the rings.
• 1:12:30
  Who knows how many times she's done it.
• 1:12:35
  So, but anyway, it was fun to watch.
• 1:12:38
  If you like the old gladiators,
• 1:12:40
  it's pretty much the exact same games
• 1:12:43
  amped up a little bit.
• 1:12:44
  I think the gladiators are more athletic
• 1:12:47
  than they were back in the day.
• 1:12:50
  Not just roided out.
• 1:12:52
  I used to watch that show all the
• 1:12:53
  time.
• 1:12:54
  Yeah.
• 1:12:55
  Yeah, I used to watch it too.
• 1:12:57
  Did that one girl, is it Jordan?
• 1:12:58
  She hasn't competed yet.
• 1:13:03
  She hasn't gone yet.
• 1:13:04
  You said that she was a contestant?
• 1:13:06
  Yeah,
• 1:13:06
  she actually announced it on her Instagram
• 1:13:09
  with her in the full outfit.
• 1:13:12
  as a contestant.
• 1:13:13
  So, so yeah,
• 1:13:17
  it'll be fun to see how it goes
• 1:13:19
  because it's a, it's a tiered structure,
• 1:13:21
  like a playoff form.
• 1:13:24
  If you win, you move on.
• 1:13:26
  So it's a,
• 1:13:28
  a quick little thing to probably be done
• 1:13:29
  in a few weeks.
• 1:13:30
  Yeah.
• 1:13:31
  But I watched it all the time in
• 1:13:33
  college as a kid.
• 1:13:36
  It was fun watching all the games again.
• 1:13:37
  Are they the same event?
• 1:13:40
  Yeah.
• 1:13:41
  Cool.
• 1:13:43
  Pretty much the exact same event.
• 1:13:46
  That run escalator at the end seemed
• 1:13:48
  extremely difficult.
• 1:13:50
  Yes.
• 1:13:50
  Larry says that too.
• 1:13:51
  Seemed way harder than it did in the
• 1:13:53
  past.
• 1:13:54
  Yeah.
• 1:13:55
  And I think it's,
• 1:13:57
  we don't need to overanalyze gladiators
• 1:13:59
  but there's a pad right before you hit
• 1:14:01
  the yes and i think that pad you
• 1:14:04
  sink and slow down and you lose all
• 1:14:07
  your momentum hitting the treadmill to try
• 1:14:09
  to get up to the top yep absolutely
• 1:14:14
  um three weeks with multiple episodes
• 1:14:20
  released released each friday yeah i'll
• 1:14:22
  catch up on all of them when i'm
• 1:14:24
  recovering tomorrow and tuesday
• 1:14:28
  For sure.
• 1:14:29
  And detoxing from the CrossFit stuff for a
• 1:14:33
  little bit.
• 1:14:34
  With our last fifteen minutes,
• 1:14:37
  if you did not see,
• 1:14:39
  Legends has released some workouts
• 1:14:42
  already.
• 1:14:44
  the two people on the screen with me
• 1:14:46
  are both competing at legends in the
• 1:14:50
  master's division, along with Lex, Alexis.
• 1:14:56
  Uh, she is competing as well.
• 1:14:58
  So our whole Sunday night CrossFit talk
• 1:15:01
  family is competing at legends other than
• 1:15:05
  myself.
• 1:15:07
  Um,
• 1:15:10
  It was fun seeing the, well, not fun.
• 1:15:13
  My DMs blew up when the two of
• 1:15:15
  them started testing workouts today.
• 1:15:19
  But it's fun seeing their input and their
• 1:15:21
  reaction to the workouts that have been
• 1:15:23
  released.
• 1:15:25
  What are your thoughts going into Legends
• 1:15:28
  next weekend?
• 1:15:29
  Go ahead, Jamie.
• 1:15:36
  I mean, I shouldn't be at all surprised.
• 1:15:39
  I'm disappointed in the programming so
• 1:15:42
  far.
• 1:15:45
  But it is what it is.
• 1:15:46
  I'm trying not to be so negative.
• 1:15:49
  Do you like those machines?
• 1:15:54
  If anything... Pull them up.
• 1:15:55
  Pull them up.
• 1:15:56
  This Tupper.
• 1:15:57
  Yeah.
• 1:15:58
  I mean, if anything, I hope it,
• 1:15:59
  what do you think they'll feel like?
• 1:16:01
  I don't know.
• 1:16:02
  And I,
• 1:16:02
  and I hope nobody told me that the
• 1:16:04
  one is harder than the echo bike.
• 1:16:05
  And I was like, no.
• 1:16:06
  Yeah.
• 1:16:07
  But I mean, that's fine.
• 1:16:09
  I hate that we're going to be sitting
• 1:16:10
  on a machine for so long.
• 1:16:11
  Like, like I just hate that.
• 1:16:13
  Yeah.
• 1:16:14
  I just don't want them all to be.
• 1:16:19
  Peer power output.
• 1:16:19
  So I hope the machine isn't like,
• 1:16:22
  isn't really hard.
• 1:16:23
  Yeah.
• 1:16:25
  And hopefully nobody has one and can gain
• 1:16:27
  advantage by figuring them out.
• 1:16:29
  Sounds like there's like eleven gears to
• 1:16:31
  this thing and I don't even understand how
• 1:16:33
  it works.
• 1:16:34
  So it'd be nice if we're all on
• 1:16:36
  a, you know,
• 1:16:39
  even even keel with this one and people
• 1:16:43
  don't really know what these how these
• 1:16:44
  machines operate.
• 1:16:49
  So you could just be on the wrong
• 1:16:50
  gear the whole time and just be working
• 1:16:51
  so much harder.
• 1:16:54
  Yeah,
• 1:16:54
  and you don't even know what you're doing.
• 1:16:55
  I don't know.
• 1:16:56
  It would be almost nice if they just
• 1:16:57
  set a gear,
• 1:16:58
  but I feel like that's probably not the
• 1:17:00
  way to go either because who knows what
• 1:17:02
  they choose.
• 1:17:04
  Yeah,
• 1:17:04
  I don't love that we're on the machines
• 1:17:06
  for so long on the first event.
• 1:17:07
  We don't even know how long we're on.
• 1:17:10
  I mean, there's a twenty two minute cap.
• 1:17:11
  There's two hundred jobs.
• 1:17:12
  So I'm assuming for a pretty long time
• 1:17:15
  on machines.
• 1:17:17
  I'm assuming too.
• 1:17:17
  The second workout will be dictated a lot
• 1:17:19
  with the sandbag.
• 1:17:20
  So you have power, like short power there.
• 1:17:24
  And then you have
• 1:17:26
  Strength with DT-ish workout.
• 1:17:30
  And then there's a ten-minute time cap for
• 1:17:33
  event four.
• 1:17:35
  I think most of the field gets time
• 1:17:37
  cap.
• 1:17:38
  Yeah.
• 1:17:38
  What the hell?
• 1:17:40
  For the five rounds of that.
• 1:17:42
  If you are choosing to go heavy for
• 1:17:44
  this DT workout,
• 1:17:46
  you don't also go heavy in the overhead
• 1:17:48
  squat.
• 1:17:49
  You make that one be gymnastics.
• 1:17:52
  Like,
• 1:17:52
  choose which one you want to be the
• 1:17:53
  heavy workout.
• 1:17:55
  I think...
• 1:17:56
  The gymnastics will play a factor in that
• 1:17:58
  one,
• 1:17:58
  but I just think that it's a fast
• 1:18:00
  time cap for the field that's there.
• 1:18:02
  You have a lot of range in a
• 1:18:04
  semifinal field.
• 1:18:08
  Zero.
• 1:18:09
  Zero gymnastics factor in that workout.
• 1:18:11
  They might as well have done a four
• 1:18:12
  rep max.
• 1:18:13
  I think the forty bar muscle ups and
• 1:18:15
  the handstand walk,
• 1:18:16
  you can make up some ground there.
• 1:18:17
  They knocked our bar muscle ups down to
• 1:18:19
  six.
• 1:18:20
  You're even taking away the gymnastics.
• 1:18:23
  I don't even understand.
• 1:18:24
  I don't think that a lot of people
• 1:18:25
  are finishing.
• 1:18:27
  Because of the overhead squat.
• 1:18:32
  I don't think it's like,
• 1:18:33
  I don't think the overhead squat is overly
• 1:18:35
  heavy.
• 1:18:35
  I just think their time cap is off,
• 1:18:37
  but it is like still heavy.
• 1:18:42
  I thought the masters were going to get
• 1:18:43
  a little bit less,
• 1:18:44
  but it's not as less as I thought.
• 1:18:49
  The forty five year olds are moving the
• 1:18:51
  same way that I am.
• 1:18:54
  I don't know about you, too,
• 1:18:55
  if you have the same as me.
• 1:18:57
  that's that's insane i have the same as
• 1:18:59
  the elites okay so you so the forties
• 1:19:02
  and the forty fives i think forty fives
• 1:19:05
  moving that way is stupid well the
• 1:19:08
  overhead squats is already very
• 1:19:09
  challenging movement for masters um i
• 1:19:14
  think that
• 1:19:17
  with that load is going to be very
• 1:19:18
  hard for the mat,
• 1:19:19
  like for a lot of the masters in
• 1:19:20
  that movement to get proper depth.
• 1:19:23
  And then you pair that with a high
• 1:19:24
  skill, higher skilled handstand walk,
• 1:19:27
  which hasn't been tested with the field
• 1:19:29
  that's going to semifinals.
• 1:19:31
  It's going to be.
• 1:19:33
  You have people at three hundred and
• 1:19:36
  eighty ninth going.
• 1:19:38
  I don't know further than that.
• 1:19:40
  I don't understand.
• 1:19:41
  Well, not.
• 1:19:43
  they can't go past four hundredth.
• 1:19:45
  Oh, true.
• 1:19:45
  Yeah.
• 1:19:51
  I was thinking of where they were in
• 1:19:53
  the elite division, but yeah,
• 1:19:54
  the Masters was four hundred.
• 1:19:55
  Yeah, yeah.
• 1:19:56
  It's just purely strength.
• 1:19:57
  Once again, I like workout three,
• 1:19:59
  like that's fine.
• 1:20:00
  Make your heavy barbell cycling workout.
• 1:20:02
  It gives me a little reminiscent.
• 1:20:04
  I asked, I asked in the chat,
• 1:20:06
  I thought,
• 1:20:06
  do you think there's any possibility there
• 1:20:08
  will be a nine, six, three unbroken?
• 1:20:10
  So each, cause it's six rounds of nine,
• 1:20:12
  six, three.
• 1:20:14
  Could they make you hold onto the barbell?
• 1:20:15
  Well, no, I saw the load and no,
• 1:20:18
  it's not.
• 1:20:20
  But which is kind of unfortunate.
• 1:20:22
  I almost think that could have been a
• 1:20:23
  cool twist.
• 1:20:24
  But I think that's your heavy workout.
• 1:20:27
  Yeah,
• 1:20:27
  that should be like you don't make the
• 1:20:29
  overhead squat.
• 1:20:30
  Did they learn nothing from the games last
• 1:20:32
  year?
• 1:20:36
  You already did a ring almost like the
• 1:20:38
  same workout and it was way
• 1:20:40
  overprogrammed.
• 1:20:42
  They ended up switching their time cap
• 1:20:43
  because wasn't the original time cap like
• 1:20:45
  eight or nine minutes and then they
• 1:20:48
  switched it?
• 1:20:48
  So let's just go through these real quick
• 1:20:50
  because you guys are talking about
• 1:20:51
  everything.
• 1:20:52
  Let's actually look at the workout.
• 1:20:54
  Workout one is four time.
• 1:20:56
  We don't know what the bike,
• 1:20:57
  we don't know what the ski is.
• 1:20:58
  Two hundred double unders with a beaded
• 1:21:00
  rope, twenty two minute cap.
• 1:21:03
  I like the beaded rope.
• 1:21:05
  Yeah.
• 1:21:05
  It's fine.
• 1:21:08
  It's better for me than regular double
• 1:21:09
  liners.
• 1:21:11
  Because at least if it hits my foot,
• 1:21:13
  it just keeps going.
• 1:21:14
  It's got some weight to it.
• 1:21:16
  And what you guys feel with any type
• 1:21:19
  of different rope is what I feel with
• 1:21:20
  any regular dubs.
• 1:21:23
  Event four time.
• 1:21:26
  Thirty chest-to-bar pull-ups.
• 1:21:28
  Thirty sandbag cleans.
• 1:21:30
  Thirty chest-to-bar pull-ups.
• 1:21:32
  grippy um the sandbag standard will be in
• 1:21:37
  like like will be a determining factor can
• 1:21:39
  you go touch and go with the dump
• 1:21:41
  with the bag i sometimes don't like the
• 1:21:43
  touch and go with the bag because i
• 1:21:45
  think some people barely touch it on the
• 1:21:46
  ground it's like very sketchy the way that
• 1:21:49
  they touch the ground um like rogue didn't
• 1:21:53
  allow um
• 1:21:56
  During the Rogue Invitational,
• 1:21:57
  they weren't allowed to go touch and go
• 1:21:58
  with the sandbags.
• 1:21:58
  They wanted them to drop it on the
• 1:22:00
  ground and then go back up.
• 1:22:01
  So interesting to see what their sand will
• 1:22:04
  be there.
• 1:22:04
  But I think where the workouts won on
• 1:22:06
  that one is the sandbag.
• 1:22:08
  Oh, that's all that workout is.
• 1:22:10
  So you have power on the machines in
• 1:22:13
  there, the sandbag.
• 1:22:14
  And then here...
• 1:22:16
  And then you're sponsored by power.
• 1:22:19
  Six rounds for time.
• 1:22:21
  Event three.
• 1:22:22
  Nine deadlifts.
• 1:22:23
  Six power cleans.
• 1:22:24
  Three shouldered overhead.
• 1:22:26
  Very DT-esque.
• 1:22:28
  Two twenty-five.
• 1:22:29
  One fifty-five.
• 1:22:31
  Now it does vary for the Masters.
• 1:22:32
  Heavy DT.
• 1:22:35
  Mine's the same as that.
• 1:22:36
  And I think Jamie's is one forty-five.
• 1:22:38
  Yes.
• 1:22:42
  Like that cap, I think a lot.
• 1:22:44
  I still think a lot of people will
• 1:22:45
  get time capped.
• 1:22:46
  Yep.
• 1:22:48
  In this division,
• 1:22:48
  there's a lot of people that won't be
• 1:22:50
  able to do those weights from the people
• 1:22:51
  that are there at the semifinal.
• 1:22:53
  Yep.
• 1:22:54
  Not for like the top of the field
• 1:22:56
  at each of the divisions,
• 1:22:58
  but there's a significant portion of the
• 1:23:00
  field that won't be able to.
• 1:23:02
  But I guess they're trying to get the
• 1:23:04
  right people to the next round.
• 1:23:09
  Whoops.
• 1:23:11
  Did I miss the mayhem talk?
• 1:23:12
  Yes,
• 1:23:12
  you're an hour and fifteen minutes late.
• 1:23:15
  An hour and ten minutes to mayhem.
• 1:23:17
  Yep.
• 1:23:19
  It was great.
• 1:23:20
  You should go back and listen to it.
• 1:23:25
  Event four.
• 1:23:26
  Five rounds for time.
• 1:23:27
  Eight bar muscle ups.
• 1:23:28
  Four, six, eight, ten,
• 1:23:29
  twelve overhead squats.
• 1:23:31
  Fifty foot handstand walk.
• 1:23:33
  One eighty five, one thirty five.
• 1:23:35
  Ten minute cap.
• 1:23:38
  I don't even fitness at your guys' level.
• 1:23:44
  Elites are fine.
• 1:23:46
  Not the Masters at that cap.
• 1:23:49
  It's a crazy cap.
• 1:23:54
  For the Masters especially.
• 1:24:00
  I think like twelve to fourteen for a
• 1:24:02
  lot of the Masters.
• 1:24:04
  Even twelve to fifteen.
• 1:24:04
  Yeah.
• 1:24:05
  It just needs to be lighter.
• 1:24:08
  I don't understand how you go from one
• 1:24:09
  heavy event to another,
• 1:24:11
  and there's zero bias of gymnastics.
• 1:24:14
  Exactly.
• 1:24:15
  And we're seeing one thirty five there,
• 1:24:17
  which we've been seeing one twenty one
• 1:24:18
  eighty five go with one twenty five.
• 1:24:20
  And I'm surprised like when it's a
• 1:24:22
  squatting movement,
• 1:24:23
  like a front squat or a squat clean,
• 1:24:25
  I can see the one thirty five one.
• 1:24:27
  It's a shoulder stabilizing,
• 1:24:29
  especially when we have the same amount of
• 1:24:31
  volume for the elites with the bar muscle
• 1:24:33
  ups and the handstand walk.
• 1:24:35
  Like the men will outperform the females
• 1:24:38
  on this one,
• 1:24:38
  I think by a little bit.
• 1:24:41
  Jar Jar,
• 1:24:41
  the weights vary a lot from age group
• 1:24:44
  to age group.
• 1:24:46
  I think there's some age groups don't do
• 1:24:48
  this one, I think.
• 1:24:52
  I don't think the sixty plus do it.
• 1:24:54
  Maybe it starts at fifty five.
• 1:24:55
  It's either fifty five or sixty.
• 1:24:58
  Maybe.
• 1:24:59
  I'm not sure about that.
• 1:25:04
  Weight stop dropping at start dropping at
• 1:25:06
  forty.
• 1:25:08
  One-fifteen.
• 1:25:08
  It's one-sixty-five,
• 1:25:10
  one-fifteen for the forty to forty-four
• 1:25:13
  and the forty-five to forty-nine.
• 1:25:15
  I think that's crazy for the forty-five to
• 1:25:17
  forty-nine, personally.
• 1:25:19
  What is it?
• 1:25:21
  One-sixty-five, one-fifteen.
• 1:25:25
  Fifteen.
• 1:25:25
  And the thirty-five is one-eighty-five,
• 1:25:28
  one-thirty-five?
• 1:25:32
  Yeah.
• 1:25:32
  I mean... I don't... I just...
• 1:25:38
  You just can't make everything heavy and
• 1:25:40
  power output.
• 1:25:41
  That's all this camp is.
• 1:25:45
  If you go watch Masters competitions,
• 1:25:51
  and I love weight,
• 1:25:52
  and I've talked about that already
• 1:25:53
  tonight.
• 1:25:55
  I like watching heavyweight move.
• 1:25:57
  But when you go to these competitions,
• 1:26:00
  the people that are winning the events are
• 1:26:03
  not natural.
• 1:26:04
  I'm just gonna say it,
• 1:26:06
  it promotes the use of PEDs in the
• 1:26:11
  masters community for the people that are
• 1:26:14
  winning these.
• 1:26:15
  It is obvious when you see people win
• 1:26:19
  these events that they are not natural.
• 1:26:24
  I just, we lose the push for,
• 1:26:29
  gymnastics and just general fitness
• 1:26:31
  because people are constantly resting to
• 1:26:34
  pick up these heavy weights.
• 1:26:35
  And that's all they do is train lifts
• 1:26:38
  so that they can win one reps at,
• 1:26:41
  at events or be able to handle this
• 1:26:43
  weight.
• 1:26:43
  And they're, if this workout was your,
• 1:26:47
  the, what we did in the open,
• 1:26:48
  the quarterfinals, the one, fifteen,
• 1:26:50
  eighty with this workout,
• 1:26:53
  It would be biased more to the gymnastics.
• 1:26:56
  The handstand walk would matter more.
• 1:26:58
  You should leave it the eight bar
• 1:26:59
  muscle-ups.
• 1:27:00
  I don't know why we're dropping to six
• 1:27:01
  bar muscle-ups.
• 1:27:05
  Yes, so much TRT and other stuff.
• 1:27:09
  The whole medicine cabinet for some.
• 1:27:14
  All right.
• 1:27:16
  So I got to be up at five.
• 1:27:18
  So let's look at who signed up for
• 1:27:22
  Legends on the elite side and who we
• 1:27:25
  think is going to punch their ticket.
• 1:27:27
  I think it's only two.
• 1:27:29
  Yeah, it is only two for elite.
• 1:27:31
  Two tickets.
• 1:27:32
  So we have on the women's side,
• 1:27:34
  and we talked earlier,
• 1:27:36
  some of these people just competed.
• 1:27:39
  We have Abby Domet, Alex DeGarmo,
• 1:27:42
  Alexis Turbin, Ashlyn Slovec,
• 1:27:44
  Caitlin Bernadine, Daniel Brandon,
• 1:27:47
  Elizabeth Wishart, Emily Rethwell,
• 1:27:49
  Emily Rolfe, Grace Lochner, Haley Adams,
• 1:27:53
  Kyra Milligan, Laura Driscoll,
• 1:27:55
  Lauren Stallwood, Lexi Neely, Lydia Fish,
• 1:28:00
  Maddie Krusevich, Nicole Haunches,
• 1:28:03
  Olivia Kerstetter, Olivia Raymond,
• 1:28:06
  Samantha Brown, Samantha Chu,
• 1:28:09
  Celine Gonzalez, and Sydney Smith.
• 1:28:13
  I think it'll be Olivia and Danielle.
• 1:28:15
  Based off these workouts right now,
• 1:28:17
  like Olivia is going to smash the machine
• 1:28:19
  one,
• 1:28:20
  going to smash the sandbag with chest to
• 1:28:23
  bars, going to smash the weight.
• 1:28:26
  and has great gymnastics for the bar
• 1:28:29
  muscle-ups and handstand walk.
• 1:28:30
  Yeah, Olivia should,
• 1:28:31
  on these four workouts,
• 1:28:34
  those are good workouts for Olivia.
• 1:28:35
  And I think Danielle Brennan has great
• 1:28:37
  overhead capacity for overhead squats,
• 1:28:40
  great on the shoulder overhead.
• 1:28:43
  Yeah, no.
• 1:28:44
  She's good on a sandbag too.
• 1:28:46
  Yeah, I think she'll do great at these.
• 1:28:52
  Doman can do well too,
• 1:28:53
  but I think Olivia is better there.
• 1:28:56
  I think it's Danielle's to win coming in
• 1:28:59
  fresh without competing this weekend.
• 1:29:03
  Then I think depending on the other
• 1:29:04
  workouts, it's going to be Olivia,
• 1:29:08
  Lydia fish or Lexi Neely.
• 1:29:10
  I think one of them is injured recently
• 1:29:15
  or like pulled out of mayhem.
• 1:29:16
  Was it Lexi Neely or fish?
• 1:29:19
  I thought,
• 1:29:20
  I thought they pulled out because Lexi
• 1:29:22
  Neely pulled out.
• 1:29:22
  I thought it was because she wanted her
• 1:29:25
  chins.
• 1:29:27
  But I could be wrong.
• 1:29:28
  No,
• 1:29:29
  I don't think there's going to be any
• 1:29:30
  running Jar Jar.
• 1:29:31
  I honestly, knowing Bob and Joe,
• 1:29:33
  it's going to be,
• 1:29:36
  they're going to try to get out of
• 1:29:37
  there by three PM on Sunday.
• 1:29:38
  So there's going to be like two,
• 1:29:39
  four minute workouts.
• 1:29:40
  Yeah.
• 1:29:40
  They're going to be all sub calls besides
• 1:29:42
  the one workout.
• 1:29:46
  And then on the men's side.
• 1:29:50
  Alessandro Zanette, Alex Bozenhard,
• 1:29:56
  Alexander Majors, Brian Huh, Briley Smith,
• 1:30:01
  Christian Ramon, CJ Gerald, Dallin Pepper,
• 1:30:04
  Dan Hardiman, Dylan Hamming, EJ Hein,
• 1:30:08
  Elijah Sabino,
• 1:30:10
  Grant Griffin, Ila Moskalenko,
• 1:30:15
  James Lewis, James Sprague, Jordan Luden,
• 1:30:19
  Lucas Purdy, Matthias Farrow,
• 1:30:22
  Nikita Yunov, Roman Krennikov,
• 1:30:25
  Scott Cottrell, Travis Moore,
• 1:30:27
  and Tudor Magda.
• 1:30:30
  God, it's kind of good for Tudor.
• 1:30:33
  But I think it's James and Dallin.
• 1:30:35
  Yeah, it's James and Dallin,
• 1:30:36
  and then Tudor will be in the mix
• 1:30:37
  too.
• 1:30:38
  It just depends whether one of them has
• 1:30:39
  a mess up and then gets middled.
• 1:30:42
  Because I think overall,
• 1:30:43
  if they're always going to be like one,
• 1:30:44
  two, one, two, three,
• 1:30:45
  just kind of exchanging,
• 1:30:46
  it takes one athlete to just have one
• 1:30:48
  bad workout and you can't make it up.
• 1:30:51
  Because I think they're just a tier above
• 1:30:53
  everyone else.
• 1:30:55
  Or many tiers.
• 1:30:55
  Tudor's looked really good this year.
• 1:30:59
  I'm excited to see how he does against
• 1:31:01
  Dallin and James.
• 1:31:03
  Yep.
• 1:31:06
  But, boy,
• 1:31:07
  this field got hurt bad with withdrawals.
• 1:31:11
  Yeah,
• 1:31:12
  there's still – I'd still say there's an
• 1:31:15
  argument to give three spots here.
• 1:31:18
  Really?
• 1:31:19
  Yeah.
• 1:31:19
  It's just crazy that, like,
• 1:31:20
  not every semifinal has the exact same
• 1:31:22
  amount of people that even show up.
• 1:31:24
  Like,
• 1:31:25
  Mayhem has three spots for twenty athletes
• 1:31:27
  there.
• 1:31:27
  This one has thirty athletes for two
• 1:31:29
  spots.
• 1:31:30
  Syndicate has, what, forty athletes?
• 1:31:33
  Thirty for three spots.
• 1:31:35
  NorCal has fifty athletes for two.
• 1:31:38
  Some of them have for one, like,
• 1:31:40
  I don't know.
• 1:31:40
  It's just...
• 1:31:42
  You're not going to be sad if Tudor
• 1:31:43
  doesn't...
• 1:31:44
  I would have thought that North America
• 1:31:45
  would be more even in terms of the
• 1:31:47
  field and the spots.
• 1:31:49
  Agree.
• 1:31:54
  You're asking me if I'd be sad if
• 1:31:55
  Tudor didn't make it?
• 1:31:56
  Yeah.
• 1:31:59
  But that's not what sports is about.
• 1:32:01
  Like, if I looked at Mayhem,
• 1:32:03
  I'm sad that Saxon isn't in it,
• 1:32:05
  but it doesn't mean they should have given
• 1:32:07
  six spots.
• 1:32:08
  No, of course not.
• 1:32:09
  He wasn't fit enough to make it.
• 1:32:11
  Right?
• 1:32:11
  Like,
• 1:32:14
  They chose their two spots.
• 1:32:17
  He knows it.
• 1:32:18
  He's going there to compete for two spots.
• 1:32:20
  I hope that he's gotten good enough that
• 1:32:23
  that's enough for him.
• 1:32:25
  Yeah.
• 1:32:27
  And I like the other two guys too.
• 1:32:32
  But there's no drama behind it because
• 1:32:34
  they have another shot.
• 1:32:35
  Well, that's true.
• 1:32:39
  And that's been my argument now for weeks
• 1:32:41
  in this whole system.
• 1:32:44
  is you go you don't make it okay
• 1:32:47
  where's the next place i can go oh
• 1:32:50
  you make it there well at least i
• 1:32:52
  still have online so it's hard to be
• 1:32:55
  sad for anybody because they've got three
• 1:32:59
  more shots yeah but i would like to
• 1:33:04
  see if tutor can hang hang with the
• 1:33:06
  other two i think he can hang
• 1:33:15
  Well, that is our show for tonight.
• 1:33:18
  Yep, you got to get to bed.
• 1:33:21
  I do.
• 1:33:22
  I got to get to bed so I
• 1:33:23
  can be put to sleep.
• 1:33:30
  Even though I hate that people get another
• 1:33:35
  crack at the apple,
• 1:33:36
  this weekend was fun to watch.
• 1:33:38
  And I did think they brought the drama.
• 1:33:41
  I thought the close races were awesome.
• 1:33:43
  I thought Gwen itself brought the drama.
• 1:33:46
  Those are the things I want to see
• 1:33:47
  in the sport.
• 1:33:48
  I think those are the things that grow
• 1:33:50
  this sport.
• 1:33:51
  And, you know, we all watch playoff,
• 1:33:56
  playoff hockey, playoff basketball,
• 1:33:59
  playoff football,
• 1:34:01
  because it is win or go home.
• 1:34:05
  And we've lost all that.
• 1:34:06
  So I'm going to pound that drum one
• 1:34:07
  more time before we leave the air.
• 1:34:12
  That is it for tonight.
• 1:34:13
  Hey, I got to go to sleep.
• 1:34:15
  I wish I could take Thirdsy,
• 1:34:16
  but I can't.
• 1:34:18
  But I can thank them as our sponsor
• 1:34:20
  for this show.
• 1:34:21
  And you can get it for fifteen percent
• 1:34:23
  off by going to Thirdsy.com backslash
• 1:34:25
  Jazzy or use code Jazzy at checkout.
• 1:34:32
  The other thing is no lunch with the
• 1:34:34
  Clydesdale tomorrow.
• 1:34:35
  We're off tomorrow,
• 1:34:37
  hopefully back Tuesday.
• 1:34:40
  We will have fun with that.
• 1:34:42
  And then next week is I got to
• 1:34:44
  figure it out.
• 1:34:45
  These two are on the road.
• 1:34:47
  I got to figure out what to do.
• 1:34:49
  I got to figure out if I can
• 1:34:50
  push or if I get a substitute or
• 1:34:52
  something like that.
• 1:34:53
  But we'll figure something out.
• 1:34:55
  We'll be live, I'm sure, next week.
• 1:34:58
  Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
• 1:35:00
  In some way, shape, or form.
• 1:35:02
  With that,
• 1:35:03
  I will see everybody Tuesday on Lunch with
• 1:35:06
  Clyde Sale.
• 1:35:07
  And I hope you guys have a great
• 1:35:08
  rest of your night.
• 1:35:09
  Bye now.
