Lunch with the Clydesdale | Special Guest Cory Leoard - Top 5 Tuesday (Named WODS) · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:32
What's going on, everybody?
0:33
Welcome to Lunch with Clydesdale.
0:35
It's lunch break, and yep,
0:37
he's back again.
0:39
After two weeks, couldn't keep him away.
0:42
He's here.
0:43
I actually tried to bring in
0:46
Judy this week, but Judy got a job.
0:48
Get out of here.
0:48
No.
0:48
Good for her.
0:53
She's working at a daycare
0:54
center now in the afternoons.
0:56
What?
0:56
Good for Judy.
1:00
She said she's been watching
1:02
too many podcasts and
1:03
needed to get something
1:04
else to spend her time doing.
1:10
It's too funny, dude.
1:11
Savan pulled up one of
1:13
David's chat messages a
1:16
couple weeks ago or like a week ago,
1:18
something like that,
1:19
and just saw it because
1:19
it's D. Reed and called him Doug.
1:23
Instead of David.
1:24
And so we've just been
1:25
referring to him as Doug Reed.
1:26
Doug Reed approves.
1:28
He's been messaging me that.
1:30
I'm like, David's a good dude.
1:34
So you got the last minute
1:36
call this morning.
1:38
And we're all game to do it.
1:39
So here we are.
1:40
We got Jody.
1:41
We got Holly.
1:42
We got Kenneth in the chat.
1:44
At least...
1:46
We're going to talk a little bit.
1:47
I had so many love-hate
1:49
things for Waterpalooza
1:50
that I only got through
1:51
like a third of mine last night.
1:53
So we're going to finish
1:54
that up a little bit.
1:56
And then we're going to go
1:59
over our top five named
2:01
workouts of all time.
2:03
And starting off, though,
2:05
like yesterday we talked
2:06
about Paul Skeens.
2:08
Yep.
2:08
You're a big Paul Skeens fan.
2:10
Well, I'm a big LSU fan,
2:11
so it's kind of hard not to
2:12
be a big Paul Skeens fan.
2:14
So are you legit like an LSU baseball fan?
2:19
I do.
2:19
So I'll put it to you like this.
2:23
I don't watch much
2:24
professional football anymore at all.
2:26
Haven't for years,
2:27
not since the Saints were relevant.
2:29
But I watch college football.
2:31
I haven't watched a
2:33
professional baseball game.
2:35
I don't know how long,
2:36
but I watch LSU baseball.
2:38
And that's a lot of people
2:39
down here are falling to
2:41
the same kind of shoes that I have.
2:43
I don't follow a whole lot
2:45
of professional sports.
2:46
If it's not professional
2:48
soccer in a completely different country,
2:50
I'm probably not paying
2:51
much attention to it.
2:53
The NFL,
2:54
I'm slowly starting to kind of
2:57
pick back up on just
2:58
because stuff's happening
2:59
and because it's been on.
3:03
Big college football fan,
3:04
big LSU baseball fan.
3:06
Like if LSU baseball is on,
3:07
I'll probably watch.
3:09
But I definitely know who
3:10
Paul Skeens is because like
3:11
we were talking about
3:11
yesterday with him being
3:13
married to Libby Dunn and
3:16
just being the ridiculous
3:17
human being that he is from
3:19
a baseball perspective.
3:20
Yeah, I've been paying attention.
3:23
So when he got drafted by the Pirates,
3:25
like we were all excited.
3:27
Yeah.
3:28
the reason I ask is in the
3:30
North where college
3:32
baseball is pretty non-existent.
3:34
Right now here in town, like OSU, they,
3:39
they sell pretty good at the,
3:40
at the games,
3:41
but the weather sucks in the spring.
3:43
Like it's hit or miss, right?
3:46
You may get a good day.
3:47
You may get a bad day to,
3:48
to invest in money ahead of
3:49
time is probably not a smart move.
3:51
Um,
3:53
and then but when I lived in
3:55
tallahassee florida like
3:57
florida state baseball was
4:00
the one of the big
4:00
attractions in town
4:02
absolutely um it's just
4:06
really different culturally
4:08
south to north what college
4:10
baseball is yeah and of
4:13
course you guys can start
4:14
up in january and be fine
4:17
they play baseball year round down here
4:20
It never really stopped.
4:21
I imagine probably nobody
4:22
played last week because
4:23
there was a foot of snow on the ground,
4:26
which never happens.
4:27
Did that shut down New
4:29
Orleans or did that shut down Louisiana?
4:33
Yeah.
4:33
The parish that I'm in, we got at my house,
4:38
there was probably at least
4:39
ten inches of snow.
4:41
No kidding.
4:41
I'm not exaggerating.
4:42
Probably at least ten inches on Tuesday.
4:45
Shut down the whole Paris Tuesday.
4:48
We got a message Wednesday.
4:50
Again, all parish offices will be closed.
4:52
Please do not travel on the road.
4:53
Like, the governor was on TV and whatnot.
4:55
Hey, please don't travel.
4:58
Wednesday afternoon,
5:00
all parish offices is going
5:00
to be closed again on Thursday.
5:02
And then by that point,
5:03
they were just like, well,
5:04
we're just going to be out
5:05
for the entire week.
5:08
kids were out of school from
5:10
Tuesday all the way through
5:12
the rest of the week.
5:12
They just went back on Monday.
5:14
Yeah.
5:14
I mean,
5:14
it effectively shut at least the
5:16
Southern half of the state
5:17
down like anything below
5:19
I-ten where there was
5:20
actually a blizzard warning in Lafayette.
5:25
That's where you remember at, uh,
5:28
At MFC, my friend Robbie that was there,
5:31
he doesn't laugh yet,
5:33
and they were under a
5:33
blizzard warning at one point.
5:35
Like,
5:35
it lessened up a little bit before it
5:37
got to us.
5:37
But, yeah, dude, I mean, it doesn't happen,
5:40
Scott.
5:40
Nobody here is prepared for
5:42
it whatsoever at all.
5:45
The week I moved to Tallahassee, Florida,
5:47
it snowed.
5:48
Now, when I say snowed, not ten inches,
5:50
like a quarter of an inch maybe.
5:53
Right.
5:54
Shut the town down.
5:56
Mm-hmm.
5:57
The last time it snowed over here,
5:59
we might have got two, maybe three inches,
6:01
something like that.
6:01
It was in two thousand seventeen.
6:03
And it was the same thing.
6:04
They shut the whole state
6:05
down for two days.
6:07
It don't take much.
6:09
We're not prepared for it.
6:10
Never happens.
6:12
I'm going to Southland
6:13
Competitors Camp in two
6:14
weeks and we're going to
6:15
plan on swimming.
6:18
Outdoors.
6:19
Yeah.
6:21
Oh, yeah.
6:21
I mean, it's heated, but it's outside.
6:24
The last two times we've had camp,
6:25
we swam outside in the pool.
6:28
The first time was in February.
6:30
Still the same thing,
6:30
right before we opened.
6:33
Yeah.
6:34
Crazy.
6:35
It's crazy that you guys
6:36
went through that.
6:36
You sent me pictures, and I'm just like,
6:39
damn, they got more than we do.
6:41
It was bananas, dude.
6:42
It was bananas.
6:42
We looked it up.
6:43
Somebody had posted
6:44
something about it on Facebook.
6:45
It's colder here than it is in Anchorage,
6:47
Alaska.
6:49
One day last week.
6:49
And my wife said, Jennifer said,
6:52
there's no way.
6:53
So I went and looked it up and I was like,
6:55
it was right at thirty
6:57
there and it was twenty five at home.
7:01
And it was going to be nine
7:02
in the morning.
7:05
It's none of it makes any sense.
7:08
Wow.
7:09
All right.
7:11
So what I'm going to do is
7:12
we're going to do the top
7:13
five Tuesday first,
7:15
because whenever we talk about the love,
7:16
hate of Waterpalooza,
7:17
it seems to run over.
7:21
At the stopping point at the end,
7:26
you're my guest.
7:27
We'll go five through one,
7:29
and then honorable mentions after.
7:31
Got it.
7:33
You and I are very different athletes,
7:36
so I am anticipating that
7:38
these lists will not be the same.
7:41
More than likely.
7:42
More than likely.
7:46
So,
7:47
We'll start with five,
7:49
and I will let you go first, my friend.
7:51
Start with five.
7:52
Okay.
7:54
You said named,
7:55
and I was trying to figure
7:56
out if we're just talking
7:57
like girl names or just names in general,
7:58
et cetera, and kind of clarified that.
8:00
So first one's a girl.
8:03
Yeah, this is any named workout.
8:05
It can be a hero.
8:06
It can be a girl.
8:07
It can be anything.
8:08
Any named workout.
8:10
Exactly.
8:10
So like we were talking, you know,
8:12
before we went live,
8:13
this one was easier and
8:15
harder for me because it
8:16
was easier just to go, yeah, like this,
8:18
this and this.
8:18
But then it was harder to
8:19
try to categorize them as
8:20
far as five to one.
8:22
So these might not
8:23
necessarily be exact or five to one.
8:25
But and like you say,
8:28
we're definitely different athletes.
8:29
So this is stuff that I'm
8:30
probably either really good
8:31
at or just really enjoy doing.
8:33
So number five is Diane.
8:34
Okay.
8:36
Okay.
8:37
Deadlifts and handstand push-ups all day.
8:43
I am pretty decent at deadlifts,
8:46
and I got the short
8:47
Tyrannosaurus Rex arms,
8:49
so the handstand push-ups
8:50
usually end up going pretty well.
8:53
It was one of,
8:54
if not the first girl
8:55
workout I ever actually did RX,
8:59
and I think I had a
9:01
sub-three score or like a
9:02
three-minute score or
9:03
something like that the
9:04
first time I ever did it.
9:07
There it is.
9:08
There it is.
9:13
I would have to go look up my score,
9:15
and I haven't done it in a while.
9:17
I think the last time I did
9:18
it was when they programmed
9:19
a version of it for the open one year.
9:23
Was that like in nineteen or twenty?
9:27
Somewhere around there.
9:28
Yeah, eighteen, nineteen.
9:30
Yeah.
9:32
So it's been a while, but
9:35
I'm a fan.
9:37
I like short.
9:39
Well,
9:40
I say that one of my favorite things
9:42
to do is short, high intensity,
9:43
like just blast through and
9:45
be done with it type workouts.
9:46
Anything with a descending
9:47
rep scheme is like got my heart,
9:53
which is hilarious because
9:54
for the email company,
9:55
we don't hardly ever do anything short.
9:56
Like most of our stuff is
9:57
twenty to thirty minutes
9:58
long at a minimum.
10:02
Jody says, can't do handstand pushups,
10:03
so I do push press.
10:05
Not with that attitude, Jody.
10:14
Come on, man.
10:14
There's no problem with scaling.
10:17
Modified.
10:18
No problem.
10:19
No problem at all.
10:20
We're all allowed to do that.
10:25
Well, mine is a short sprint.
10:28
And I, and honestly, like as a bigger guy,
10:31
I don't like the short springy stuff.
10:34
Right.
10:34
Um, that, that makes me push too hard.
10:39
Uh, I like a nice pace.
10:45
I get me through something, but this is,
10:47
this is a sprint for sure.
10:50
And, uh, it's just.
10:55
Clean and jerk in the hallway.
10:58
Grace.
11:01
One hundred thirty five
11:02
pound clean jerks all day long.
11:05
Yes, sir.
11:09
Yes, sir.
11:11
I agree.
11:12
Done.
11:15
Jody says, Corey,
11:16
you're always so mean to me.
11:20
Although, Jody, all love.
11:24
So I'm just starting out
11:25
simple because this one is easy.
11:29
And it was, it's that one,
11:31
like when I first started
11:32
CrossFit that like I zoned
11:34
in on a goal and wanted to like,
11:37
my first ever attempt,
11:38
I thought I was ready to go RX.
11:42
I was not.
11:43
And ended up taking,
11:45
it took me seventeen minutes.
11:49
Wow.
11:50
I was failing clean and jerk
11:52
after clean and jerk in the twenties.
11:55
Goodness.
11:56
And then there was a girl in
11:57
our class who thought she
11:59
was ready and she was like,
12:01
and like the coach said, I told you,
12:04
you guys, you like, we were stubborn.
12:07
He's like, when I tell you,
12:08
you're not ready.
12:09
This is what I mean.
12:11
So be ten minutes or less.
12:14
Yeah.
12:15
I usually tell people we
12:16
have what I say in me and
12:18
my training partner is also
12:19
a coach at the gym is that
12:20
sometimes you gotta let
12:20
people figure it out.
12:23
Like, oh, you're going to RX that today.
12:26
Oh, okay.
12:28
And then when they're, you know,
12:30
taking seven team minutes
12:31
to do grace or they just
12:32
lying on the floor after
12:33
doing something and like,
12:34
look like they got hit by a truck.
12:35
Like how'd that work out?
12:36
Pretty good so far.
12:38
How are you feeling about it?
12:39
But yeah, I understand.
12:42
Yeah.
12:43
So that was, that was an ugly,
12:46
ugly day for me in the gym.
12:48
Um, but you got to learn somehow and some,
12:51
and I have to learn the
12:52
hard way sometimes.
12:54
I've got to learn the hard way a lot,
12:55
Scott.
12:59
So what's the number four?
13:01
Number four.
13:02
Um, very, very classic.
13:04
Another girl, another girl, classic girl,
13:07
uh, twenty minutes long.
13:08
We're going to get a little
13:09
bit longer timeframe,
13:11
but it's straight up Cindy.
13:13
All body weight, all day long.
13:17
I was obsessed with Cindy
13:19
for probably the first
13:20
three years that I was doing,
13:23
that I was at Virtus doing
13:24
CrossFit because I wanted to get, uh,
13:29
twenty rounds.
13:31
Like twenty rounds,
13:32
twenty rounds was my goal.
13:34
And it took until last year
13:38
before I finally was able
13:39
to actually break twenty rounds.
13:41
Uh, and I ended up with like,
13:43
or something like that,
13:44
but easy peasy body weight the entire way,
13:49
you know, five, ten, fifteen.
13:51
How long can you, you know,
13:52
how long can you hold on?
13:53
How long can you make it hurt?
13:54
How bad do you want to make it hurt?
13:57
Um, because the air squats, you know,
13:59
for me anyway,
14:00
the air squats is the break.
14:02
The pushups is usually what
14:03
ends up getting me blown up.
14:05
You know, five pull ups,
14:06
not that big a deal, whatever.
14:08
And it's in a lot of
14:09
different things that you see.
14:10
Right.
14:10
So what's Murph?
14:12
Murph is Cindy in a vest
14:15
with a mile runner either side of it.
14:19
Right.
14:20
So I've always been obsessed with it.
14:23
Always one of my favorite ones to do.
14:24
Whenever it comes up,
14:25
I will drop what I'm doing.
14:27
If my other stuff, generally speaking,
14:28
I will drop what I'm doing.
14:29
I'll go do Cindy with the
14:30
class just because it's it's good stuff.
14:33
You know what I hate is when
14:35
I go into a gym, like I do a drop-in,
14:39
and they're like, hey,
14:39
warm-up is three rounds of Cindy,
14:43
twenty cows on the bike.
14:45
Dude,
14:46
these shoulders need something before
14:50
Cindy for me.
14:52
This is a lot of beef to
14:54
hang off of a pull-up bar.
14:57
I don't like that kind of
14:59
warm-up to begin with for
15:00
the same reason.
15:00
Like,
15:01
you need to prime your stuff to be
15:02
able to, before you start doing anything,
15:04
you can't just jump in to
15:06
start swinging around on the board.
15:09
Yeah, luckily,
15:09
the gyms I belong to never did that.
15:12
But when I would drop in places,
15:14
it would be on the board like, hey,
15:15
do three rounds of Cindy and bike,
15:20
and then do some pull-aparts and blah,
15:23
blah.
15:24
No, me starting with pull-aparts.
15:29
We still do arm chuckles.
15:32
Let's rotate them shoulders
15:33
and get some blood flowing
15:34
in and whatnot.
15:35
Look who's popping in.
15:37
Charlie.
15:38
Tried to get him to do one of these.
15:40
Didn't hear from him all week.
15:42
Cindy's the only reason I stay around.
15:49
My number four is...
15:55
it's a love hate relationship.
15:56
I, when I first started, I hated,
15:59
then I got to love and it's
16:03
one of those that you never
16:07
thought that an empty
16:08
barbell would break you
16:11
like it could in a workout like this.
16:15
And this is Jackie bro.
16:23
thousand meter row, fifty thrusters,
16:26
empty barbell and thirty pull ups.
16:32
When I first got pull ups,
16:34
I started to love Jackie
16:35
because it was the reward
16:37
at the end of the meal that
16:39
showed me like I was able
16:41
to do something I never
16:43
thought I'd be able to do again.
16:46
Hundred percent, hundred percent.
16:50
for me being five foot six
16:52
and a hundred and eighty
16:52
five pounds that thousand
16:53
meter row ruins my day
16:56
every single time I dj once
16:58
I get past that I'm good to
17:00
go but you are not wrong
17:02
that empty barbell will
17:05
destroy your entire
17:06
afternoon yeah because you
17:11
start pulling it yourself
17:13
instead of letting it fall
17:16
like when you're doing it
17:16
with ninety five or sixty five
17:20
and the weight will bring you down.
17:22
On that empty barbell,
17:23
you start pulling it down to go faster,
17:27
and it just wreaks havoc quickly.
17:31
Every time we do this at a gym,
17:33
if I happen to be coaching,
17:34
I mean everybody over there,
17:36
but we try to stress to people, hey, man,
17:38
do not disrespect that empty barbell.
17:41
It will hurt you.
17:43
And don't drop it.
17:46
Yeah, well, that's a given anyway.
17:49
Yeah.
17:51
Because the coach will come
17:52
hurt you if you drop that.
17:55
Yeah.
17:55
Several of them, as a matter of fact.
17:57
Several of them, as a matter of fact.
17:59
All right.
18:00
Moving right along.
18:03
Number three.
18:05
And these last three are kind of – well,
18:08
I say that.
18:09
My top two are almost interchangeable.
18:11
But number three, another .. .
18:15
.
18:15
Another sprint, rip the Band-Aid off,
18:17
get it done, make it hurt.
18:19
More thrusters because why not Fran?
18:24
Probably going to get some
18:25
weird looks and it's fine
18:27
because everybody knows how bad it hurts.
18:30
You say why?
18:32
I say hell no.
18:39
I love doing Fran because I
18:42
want to see how bad I can
18:43
just how fast I can go and
18:47
how bad I can just get it over with.
18:51
love it love it that set of
18:54
fifteen takes me out every
18:56
time love it and that's
18:59
another one that I've been
19:01
kind of like cindy I had
19:02
been obsessed with since of
19:03
hearing about it seeing it
19:05
blah blah whatever like
19:06
somebody had a whole I
19:07
think one of john willie's
19:08
first memes I ever saw was
19:11
uh it's a picture like this
19:14
electric electrical panel
19:15
somewhere and like trying
19:16
to explain fran to a newbie
19:18
and it said uh not only
19:20
will this kill you it's
19:21
going to hurt the entire
19:23
time like oh yeah yeah
19:29
hundred percent it will
19:29
hundred percent well I just
19:31
like it dude and then uh
19:33
last year I was finally
19:34
able to break three minutes um
19:38
So that was kind of a big deal.
19:40
And I still think I can go faster.
19:42
Like it's one of those ones
19:43
that I almost say figured out,
19:46
but I know for myself where I can push,
19:49
where, you know,
19:51
where I can quote unquote
19:52
break as the case may be,
19:55
and just kind of get it,
19:56
get through it and get knocked down.
19:59
Yeah.
20:01
Well,
20:01
I'm going to go on the opposite end
20:02
of the spectrum,
20:03
but I'm bringing back the empty barbell.
20:05
Okay.
20:07
Because I love it so much.
20:09
I mean, nothing wrong with it.
20:11
When I first started CrossFit,
20:14
and people would tell you, hey,
20:16
we're going to do fifty reps of this.
20:18
And you thought, what?
20:22
Like, there's no way I can do fifty reps.
20:25
Yeah.
20:25
And then they tell you, hey,
20:27
we have a workout where
20:28
we're going to do ten different things.
20:32
We're going to do fifty reps
20:33
of each one of them.
20:35
you're like you've got to be
20:36
out of your freaking mind
20:39
right like that's not even
20:40
possible right pretty early
20:45
on in this crossfit game
20:48
and then you're like my god
20:50
what the hell but I love it
20:53
I love it so much uh filthy filthy fifty
20:59
The weights are light,
21:01
and a big guy like me
21:02
usually doesn't like that.
21:04
But when you're doing fifty
21:05
reps of things for ten
21:06
different movements,
21:08
you need the light weights.
21:11
Box jumps, jumping pull-ups,
21:13
kettlebell swings, walking lunge steps,
21:16
knees to elbows, which is a very,
21:19
very tough movement.
21:23
Knees to upper arm is easy.
21:26
Knees to pits, easy.
21:27
Get that knee to elbow, much different.
21:31
I tell people that all the time.
21:32
Like, a matter of fact, keep going.
21:34
Go ahead.
21:38
Back extensions, wall ball shots, burpees,
21:42
and finish with that
21:43
dreaded double under that
21:45
when I finally got it
21:46
mastered and I could finish
21:47
that son of a bitch at a
21:50
pretty good clip at the end was huge.
21:52
A hundred percent.
21:56
Dude, the knees to elbows.
21:58
So last night I was coaching
22:01
and we had toes to bar in the workout.
22:03
And one of the newer guys was like,
22:05
what's going to be my scale
22:06
for toes to bar?
22:07
Like knees to elbows?
22:08
And I went, no.
22:08
No.
22:08
You're going to do knee raises.
22:13
I said, I don't know if you noticed or not,
22:15
but if your knees are up at your elbows,
22:16
you just as soon touch your
22:17
toes to the bar because
22:18
you're close enough to do that.
22:19
Like we're not doing that, dude.
22:21
Knees to elbows are tough.
22:25
Tough, tough.
22:26
I would say that's almost
22:27
harder than doing toes to ball.
22:29
If you don't hit the elbow,
22:30
better to hit the forearm or the tri.
22:35
It's harder to hit the elbow.
22:36
It's harder to hit the elbow.
22:42
Not with these hamstrings, you don't.
22:44
Yeah, exactly.
22:48
Jake Chapman says,
22:49
thought Corey was a Canadian badger.
22:51
I am.
22:54
I thought Corey sweatshirt
22:55
said mom for a second.
22:56
Yeah, it's just a mom company.
22:57
It's actually, he loves his mom.
23:04
It's all in the packaging
23:04
and delivery for those high rep wads.
23:07
She is not wrong.
23:11
Knees behind your ears and
23:13
get ready for me, baby.
23:21
Oh,
23:25
so that is my number three
23:26
the filthy fifty all right
23:31
I know I know I'm on a
23:32
theme here but we're going
23:33
with again no reps games oh
23:39
uh you know short short
23:40
time domain for at least at
23:41
least for this one and like
23:44
I said my one and two are
23:45
almost interchangeable but
23:46
for different reasons um
23:47
but right now for two we're
23:49
gonna go with amanda
23:52
Nine, seven, five,
23:54
ring muscle-ups and squat snatches.
23:58
That's another one that,
23:59
because I couldn't do ring
24:00
muscle-ups for so long, dude,
24:02
that I would watch.
24:03
And then just watching, like,
24:04
that old Kalipa video.
24:07
There it is,
24:07
muscle-ups and squat snatches.
24:10
Watching the old, you know,
24:12
from the first time they did it,
24:13
when Kalipa was just
24:13
throwing the bar all the
24:14
way across the floor and whatnot.
24:16
Like, I thought that was hilarious.
24:17
And then seeing when they were doing it,
24:20
when they redid it,
24:22
Was it for Amanda-Forty-Five at the games?
24:25
I remember,
24:25
I just remember the documentary
24:27
where Ben Smith said, remember?
24:29
He said,
24:31
remember Khalifa throwing the ball
24:33
across the field?
24:33
He said, go back, watch that,
24:34
and play a little bit of it right here.
24:35
And then they did it,
24:36
and I thought that was fantastic.
24:38
But year before last,
24:41
when I finally started
24:42
being able to bring myself consistently,
24:45
all I wanted to do was
24:46
amanda and so like we had
24:48
it programmed in class one
24:49
day it took me thirteen
24:51
minutes in change which is
24:53
forever it should not take
24:55
that long and then train
24:57
train train practice
24:58
practice practice et cetera
24:59
et cetera and I cut four
25:01
and a half minutes off my
25:02
time inside of six months I
25:05
haven't done it again since
25:06
then I probably will at some point but
25:10
It's just gymnastics and a barbell.
25:13
As you well know,
25:15
those are two of my
25:15
favorite things to do.
25:16
I'm not a big machine guy
25:20
because I'm not a big guy particularly,
25:23
but gymnastics and a barbell,
25:24
I'm in hog heaven.
25:27
What's funny is, since he's in the chat,
25:31
Charlie is great at ring muscle-ups.
25:35
Great at ring muscle-ups.
25:36
He can knock them out left and right.
25:40
But CrossFit always pairs it
25:42
with something that tests
25:44
his overhead mobility,
25:47
like a squat snatch or an overhead squat.
25:50
And it is a travesty,
25:55
this man's overhead
25:57
position in those movements,
25:59
as well as he can do a muscle-up,
26:01
and he never gets to show
26:02
it off because they pair it
26:04
with this other thing that
26:07
it tests his mobility.
26:10
It is absolutely terrible.
26:11
I feel for you, Joe.
26:15
But brilliance of their programming,
26:16
right?
26:18
Five percent.
26:21
So my number two is.
26:27
It is really probably
26:29
because of a memory more than that.
26:32
I just love the workout.
26:35
It is seventy five reps at
26:38
seventy five pounds.
26:41
snatch snatch snatch and
26:45
that is randy and pulling
26:49
that up now you know
26:52
there's a named workout
26:53
called randy savage oh yeah
26:58
didn't know that randy
27:00
savage really yeah we'll
27:03
talk about that in a minute
27:04
I like I don't know what
27:04
that is right there get out of here
27:08
We'll look at it after this.
27:10
Yeah.
27:11
Seventy five power snatches.
27:12
Seventy five pounds.
27:14
And Charlie is agreeing with
27:17
me that big facts about the
27:20
muscle ups and the overhead mobility.
27:23
What I love about Randy is
27:25
back in the team series
27:26
when it was two men and two women.
27:30
I had a team with Amy and my buddy Sprinks,
27:34
and we had a third girl, Sarah.
27:37
There was a relay in that
27:38
year where it was Diane.
27:44
It actually started Karen, Diane, Randy,
27:48
and Grace.
27:50
You picked one person to do
27:51
each one of those,
27:53
and I was the Randy leg.
27:57
And it is the most balls to
27:58
the wall I ever went on
27:59
that workout because I'm on a team.
28:02
Yeah, I understand.
28:03
I try to let nobody down.
28:04
And my coach is like,
28:05
I want you to go out and do
28:07
twenty five to thirty five unbroken.
28:10
Which I'd never even tried to do before.
28:13
Never, ever tried to do.
28:15
And I did it.
28:15
And then it was just hang on
28:18
for dear life for the rest
28:20
of that workout.
28:21
And it went fine because I
28:22
think I got a ten and maybe another ten.
28:25
And then then it got rough.
28:29
Yeah.
28:29
To finish.
28:30
But it was we we all PR that day.
28:34
And it was one of the most
28:35
exhilarating days to be on a team.
28:39
It was awesome.
28:40
Amy PR'd Karen by a couple minutes.
28:45
Sarah was new,
28:46
and she did Grace in like a
28:48
minute thirty.
28:49
Jesus Christ.
28:51
Yeah.
28:51
Just like a freak athlete.
28:54
And my buddy Springs PR'd
28:55
Diane by like a minute.
28:57
So it was just a great day.
28:59
Great day.
29:00
And so that's why it's
29:01
number two on my board.
29:04
mean that's nothing wrong
29:05
dude randy's randy's no
29:07
joke either with that light
29:08
barbell it will it will
29:10
destroy you like holly
29:19
randy is best hey holly
29:20
what's her barbells before
29:21
we hit number one yeah
29:24
It is four-time,
29:26
ten right-arm kettlebell snatches,
29:28
ten burpees,
29:29
ten left-arm kettlebell snatches,
29:32
thirty air squats,
29:33
and then fifteens with forty-five,
29:36
twenties with sixty,
29:38
twenty-five with seventy-five,
29:40
and thirties with ninety.
29:42
That looks like push presses, cleans,
29:49
and then high pulls.
29:50
Snatches.
29:51
Here, I'll just
29:54
Push jerks.
29:56
Kettlebell cleans.
29:58
Kettlebell high pulls.
30:02
And Russian kettlebell swings to finish.
30:04
Well, yeah.
30:05
So that's going to get you
30:06
to the bicep pump.
30:11
Like your arms are going to
30:12
be as big around as my head
30:13
by the time it's done.
30:15
How many air squats is that?
30:18
That's a lot.
30:20
Let's see.
30:22
A lot.
30:23
It's a whole bunch.
30:24
It's over.
30:25
It's well over.
30:26
It's like two hundred.
30:32
Yeah.
30:33
Just call it two hundred.
30:33
Let's say it's two hundred.
30:34
Why not?
30:35
All right.
30:38
My number one math on this one.
30:40
Yeah, that's way too much.
30:41
Never do that.
30:42
Never do the math.
30:43
My number one, my number one.
30:47
My training partner, Bernard,
30:49
will hold me out on this
30:51
every single time because
30:56
my number one is the
30:56
workout we do when we can't
30:57
figure out which workout we want to do.
31:00
Whenever we are, you know,
31:03
I want to go do something.
31:05
I don't necessarily want to
31:05
do what my trainer's got.
31:06
It doesn't necessarily do
31:07
what his trainer's got.
31:09
So we just kind of try to figure it out.
31:11
What are we going to do?
31:12
What are we going to do?
31:13
Let's do knee.
31:17
Easy peasy.
31:19
Two muscle-ups, four handstand push-ups,
31:22
eight kettlebell swings all day long.
31:26
Out of all the hero workouts I have done,
31:30
named hero workouts I have done,
31:32
I have probably done more
31:33
variations of Nate than you
31:34
can shake a stick at.
31:36
with a dumbbell instead of a kettlebell.
31:40
Partner Nate, where we just go for,
31:43
I think the last time we did it,
31:44
we went for,
31:45
we just did ten rounds each
31:47
and just did it for time.
31:48
Like you go, you go, I go style.
31:51
uh, done it with a run, uh, at some point,
31:55
like did a round and then
31:57
ran like a one hundred or
31:58
something like that.
31:58
Like Nate is our go-to Nate is our, Hey,
32:03
what do you want to do?
32:03
I don't know.
32:04
What do you want to do?
32:04
I don't know.
32:05
What do you want to do?
32:05
Let's do Nate.
32:06
All right, cool.
32:07
And then we'll figure
32:08
something out from there.
32:10
Um, since I've, again,
32:12
it's another one that's
32:13
since I've been able to do
32:15
ring muscle ups,
32:16
which is the past three years,
32:17
I've probably done Nate, uh, no,
32:19
no fewer than seven times.
32:21
which is a lot for a name workout.
32:25
That is, that's a lot.
32:31
Jody Lynn, I'm out on Nate Ugg.
32:37
Well,
32:37
my number one is one that a lot of
32:40
people just forget about as
32:41
a named workout, but it is so much fun.
32:45
And no matter what shape I'm in,
32:47
I always feel good when I do this one.
32:52
and it's an easy one to rx
32:55
um so you feel like you've
32:57
accomplished something and
32:59
for me that is the chief uh
33:10
it is my favorite workout
33:11
of all time like I said
33:14
it's easy to to do rx but
33:17
it's it's a great workout
33:21
The pushups are going to get
33:22
you at some point.
33:25
Everything else is pretty.
33:26
Three power cleans at one
33:28
thirty five is nothing.
33:29
Six pushups is where it gets me.
33:32
And nine air squats all day long.
33:35
Right.
33:36
Yeah.
33:37
So it's just how long can
33:38
you hold on to the pushups?
33:41
That's another one.
33:41
That's a how bad do you want to make it?
33:44
Right.
33:44
How hard do you want to push
33:46
and see what your arms are
33:46
going to feel like on them pushups?
33:48
It is five three-minute AMRAPs.
33:51
You start over again at the
33:52
beginning of each one and
33:54
see how far you can get in
33:55
the AMRAP on each one and
33:57
how far you're going to fall off.
34:00
Really,
34:00
you should be trying to be
34:02
consistent where AMRAP one
34:05
and AMRAP five are the same.
34:08
Yeah, a hundred percent.
34:09
But I always go out way too hot.
34:14
So mine usually declines as we go.
34:17
And it's all about the pushup.
34:19
It is a hundred percent.
34:21
Everything else is just in
34:21
the way of the pushups.
34:23
Yup.
34:24
Yeah, absolutely.
34:25
Um, we, cause my, my, my,
34:28
my gym so far has come train and we have,
34:31
I think we've only actually
34:32
done like as program, the chief,
34:36
like done it just like this,
34:38
but we've done it as part
34:39
of something else.
34:42
I can't tell you how many times we had,
34:44
matter of fact,
34:45
it was either last week or
34:46
week before last, we did it as,
34:51
or had it programmed as
34:51
like an EMOM of like round.
34:54
And it was just,
34:55
you look at it and you're like, oh,
34:56
that's, I remember asking CISO,
34:58
I was like, why does that look familiar?
35:00
He was like, well, it's the chief.
35:01
And I was like, oh yeah.
35:03
No, that's a good one, dude.
35:04
That is a good one.
35:05
I like that a lot.
35:06
That is my favorite workout.
35:07
Cause again, and it's one of those, like,
35:09
if you don't know what to do,
35:11
It's an easy one to set up.
35:14
Right.
35:14
It's an easy one to bang out.
35:16
It's, you know,
35:17
it's going to be effective
35:18
and it doesn't matter what
35:19
shape you're in.
35:20
You can always do it.
35:23
Right.
35:24
Um, and that's what I love about it.
35:27
And, uh, when I was at my old gym,
35:29
they program,
35:29
it seemed like they
35:30
programmed it three or four times a year.
35:34
Now,
35:35
when I moved to Polaris with Christy
35:38
and them,
35:39
it was always part of something
35:40
like you said.
35:41
Yeah.
35:42
Or it wasn't the three-minute AMRAPs.
35:45
Let's just make it one,
35:46
twenty-minute AMRAP.
35:48
Or, you know what I mean?
35:51
Yeah,
35:51
eliminate the rest and just kind of
35:54
go for it.
35:55
Right.
35:56
Absolutely.
35:56
All right, honorable mention.
36:00
Yep.
36:01
I told you earlier I got I
36:03
got five honorable mentions
36:05
because it was hard for me
36:06
to uh to just because once
36:09
I started going it was like
36:10
oh yeah I really like that
36:11
oh yeah I really like that
36:13
uh first honorable mention
36:14
is I think was your number
36:16
three or number four or
36:17
something one of those
36:18
lines grace I love grace
36:21
five yeah love grace big fan of grace uh
36:26
PR by Grace last year.
36:28
Smashed it.
36:29
Enjoyed the shit out of it.
36:33
Did it actually with one of
36:34
my other training partners,
36:35
my girl Blair.
36:37
She's so strong, dude.
36:39
It was ridiculous.
36:40
I wasn't quite as fast as her,
36:42
but if she wouldn't have been there,
36:43
I probably wouldn't have
36:44
went as fast as I did.
36:46
Isabel, while we were on the
36:50
that same train isabel is
36:52
one that I would say that I
36:53
love but I've only ever
36:55
done it as part of
36:56
something else and every
36:59
time I'm like I should try
37:00
isabel I end up having
37:02
something else to do or
37:03
something else or I just
37:04
end up basically I think
37:05
I've only ever done isabel
37:06
on its own maybe once every
37:10
other time it's been part
37:11
of something else
37:13
The last time I did it,
37:14
we started the workout with Isabel.
37:16
It was Isabel,
37:17
a hundred dubs and then like
37:18
a mile run or something.
37:20
That was like two years ago.
37:23
And I think I did it.
37:25
I think we did that workout.
37:28
Three Oh five or something.
37:29
It's a Saturday workout at, at,
37:31
at our gym.
37:32
And it took me.
37:33
And I remember thinking to myself, like,
37:34
all right, idiot,
37:35
you got a hundred dubs to do after this.
37:37
Like, there's no reason to try to go.
37:40
You're not trying to PR your
37:41
Isabella time that you don't have.
37:46
But in that class setting,
37:47
it was harder for me to not
37:50
like I want to beat
37:50
everybody that's in there.
37:53
See what else I got on here.
37:55
Fight going bad.
37:57
That's my one honorable mention.
37:59
Fight going bad.
38:01
I haven't done it.
38:03
we've done fight going bad
38:05
type stuff with different
38:07
movements or or you know
38:09
whatever whatever the case
38:10
may be but I haven't done
38:13
proper fight going bad in
38:15
probably two years again my
38:20
old gym probably programmed
38:21
it a couple times a year um
38:24
new gym not so much yeah um
38:28
But it was really the first
38:31
introduction to interval
38:32
workout that I had done
38:34
because of it being a named workout.
38:37
And then getting to CrossFit Polaris,
38:39
a lot of what we do is interval work.
38:43
My body did not like
38:45
interval work for a very long time.
38:47
I would throw up and fight
38:48
gone bad almost every time I did it.
38:52
My body doesn't like the rest in between.
38:54
Yeah.
38:54
Yeah.
38:56
um like big rest periods
38:58
like let's get let's get it
38:59
done and so I would run
39:03
outside throw up and then
39:04
finish god bless you for
39:07
that god bless you the one
39:09
time I threw up without a
39:10
comp and I did not want to
39:11
finish around the day like
39:12
I felt like hammered shit afterwards
39:20
Pat Midgley says, uh,
39:22
Metcon Rush had a one rep
39:23
max snatch rest.
39:24
I think two minutes.
39:26
Then Isabel.
39:27
I would be down with that.
39:29
Yeah.
39:30
I would be down with that.
39:31
And then my last two, um, one of, and,
39:36
and it's, it's up there.
39:37
This one almost made the list is DT.
39:39
Uh, big, big fan DT, big fan.
39:44
Just you and the barbell.
39:45
How bad do you want going in?
39:47
I always think, um,
39:50
that I want to love it.
39:53
Yeah.
39:53
And then I remember that I don't.
39:59
Yeah.
40:00
I don't think,
40:00
I think for some reason my
40:01
grip strength is not the best there is.
40:05
And it, it like four and five, I'm, I'm,
40:08
I just can't hang on anymore.
40:10
Like I I'll,
40:12
I'll pull a clean and it'll
40:13
just fly out of my,
40:14
the bar will fly out of my hands.
40:16
Yeah.
40:16
Okay.
40:18
I mean, that's fair.
40:18
And then my last one to make
40:19
the list is the one we
40:20
actually did last night.
40:21
I coached last night.
40:23
And that's Marston.
40:24
So if you don't know what Marston is,
40:27
Marston is one deadlift at
40:28
four or five for the guys,
40:30
two eighty five for ladies,
40:32
ten toes to bar and fifteen
40:35
bar face and burpees for twenty minutes.
40:40
It is so I.
40:43
I'm a real big fan of heavy deadlifts.
40:46
I don't like a billion of them,
40:48
but like one at four or five every round,
40:51
sign me up all the way up in for that.
40:54
I've done it.
40:54
You don't have to pull the
40:56
bar like that far.
40:57
A hundred percent.
40:58
Why do you think I like it so much?
41:05
But anyway, we've done it four times.
41:06
Last time was a twenty
41:08
twenty four last year.
41:10
The three times before that,
41:12
the first time I got,
41:13
I forget what it was,
41:14
how many rounds it was.
41:16
But the next two times,
41:17
so in twenty twenty two and
41:18
twenty twenty three,
41:19
I had the exact same score.
41:20
And Scott,
41:21
when I tell you I had the exact
41:21
same score, it wouldn't within a rep.
41:25
It wouldn't within two reps.
41:26
I had the exact same score
41:28
two years in a row.
41:29
And then last year in twenty twenty four,
41:31
I PR'd it by like five.
41:33
around and a half or so like
41:35
I went from eight something
41:36
to just over ten which was
41:38
fantastic like I was over
41:39
the moon with that but one
41:43
stupid heavy deadlift some
41:45
gymnastics and then let's
41:46
just do some bar face and
41:47
burpees and just keep that
41:49
up for twenty minutes
41:50
coaching it last night was
41:51
absolutely hilarious
41:53
because I get to go alright
41:57
y'all seventeen minutes left let's go
42:03
And it looks on everybody's
42:05
faces when you let them
42:05
know that ten minutes have elapsed,
42:08
and you still got two minutes left.
42:10
Oh, come on, Holly.
42:15
I don't like deadlifts either.
42:16
I'm with Holly.
42:20
I guess because I'm good at them.
42:21
It's another thing that I
42:22
like it because I'm decent at them.
42:25
I don't like doing, like I said,
42:27
I don't like doing a crap
42:28
ton of reps necessarily.
42:30
Right.
42:31
Cause I have a bad habit.
42:32
My,
42:32
my form will start to break down
42:34
towards the end of it.
42:34
And I don't want to do that
42:35
because it's going to blow my back up.
42:37
But for one at four or five every round,
42:41
I'm in sign me up.
42:43
Well,
42:43
I don't know if you've ever heard me
42:44
say on here,
42:44
but I've had twelve back procedures.
42:47
Yeah.
42:48
Not,
42:48
not good for the deadlifts and I had
42:50
short arms.
42:51
Yeah.
42:52
Hey, same dude.
42:53
You've seen my arms.
42:54
You have a few short legs to go with them.
42:56
Yeah.
42:57
I don't.
43:00
I'm all torso.
43:05
The most oddly shaped human
43:06
being you run across that's
43:09
currently doing CrossFit.
43:12
I got a friend of mine.
43:15
My boy, Birch.
43:17
I got a friend of mine.
43:18
She's five foot one or five foot two,
43:20
Brittany.
43:21
She's literally like a head
43:22
shorter than I am.
43:23
And you know how short I am.
43:25
And if we stand next to each other,
43:26
our hips are at the same spot.
43:29
You understand that?
43:32
Or thanks to the same link.
43:34
It's hilarious.
43:36
Well, those are pretty good lists.
43:38
And we've pretty much killed all the time.
43:41
Oh, damn.
43:42
We're not even going to get
43:43
to the Wazza stuff.
43:44
But that's okay.
43:47
Wazza love, hate, or live for another day.
43:49
They will.
43:51
I'll bring them out tomorrow
43:52
when I'm going solo and
43:55
rant a little bit more about Wadapalooza.
43:58
There was a lot of good things there.
44:00
I don't want people to think
44:01
I was hating on Wadapalooza.
44:03
Hey, shout out to my people.
44:05
Some of my people made the podium.
44:08
Masters,
44:09
my boy Mike Padgett came in second.
44:13
RX team division,
44:15
Toya Nelson and her team
44:17
won the RX division.
44:20
Lauren Olsen?
44:20
What's that?
44:22
Lauren Olsen on that team?
44:24
I think so, yeah.
44:26
That sounds right.
44:29
So yeah, I was invested this weekend.
44:31
So I understand if you got
44:32
some things that's bothering you,
44:34
because I do too.
44:36
Last night,
44:36
the broadcast took over most of
44:39
the conversation.
44:40
And I have some other things
44:41
I loved and hated about the
44:43
weekend that I wanted to
44:45
get into more detail about
44:46
the actual event,
44:48
not necessarily the broadcast.
44:51
And I'll say this again.
44:51
I'm not trying to shit on the broadcast.
44:54
CrossFit needs to be broadcast.
44:58
And if we can find an
44:58
alternative to the very expensive...
45:02
hamilton roads let's try to
45:05
do that like they have had
45:07
a monopoly in the space for
45:10
years let's see if we can
45:13
find alternatives but not
45:15
letting the people know
45:17
that this was a new thing
45:18
for being tried and that it
45:21
they don't have the cameras
45:22
that they did that hamilton
45:23
roads does or the
45:24
production truck like set
45:26
the expectations yeah I
45:28
mean brian and did not have
45:30
that meaning people
45:32
doing it so the fact that
45:33
they pulled it off as good
45:36
or bad as you know
45:37
depending on how you look
45:38
at it as it was is a
45:39
miracle in and of itself so
45:44
jay birch says your your
45:46
body is no odder than than
45:48
colton my difference is
45:51
colton is just a little bit
45:52
fitter than I am just just
45:55
Just, I mean, not much.
45:58
I'll try and touch and go to
46:00
a two-sixty-five snatch next year, maybe.
46:02
I'll get a work on that.
46:07
Yeah, I think, Holly,
46:08
I think what most people's
46:12
problem is is that they go
46:14
into expecting because it's
46:15
a sporting event and it's
46:17
being broadcast for it to
46:18
look like the Super Bowl or
46:21
a college football game or whatever.
46:24
And even when Hamilton Road was doing it,
46:27
it didn't look like that
46:29
because it's not that.
46:30
It's a whole different animal.
46:35
I have hates with Hamilton Roads.
46:38
I think we get the same shots.
46:40
We miss the finishes of too many things.
46:44
There's things that they
46:44
didn't do well either.
46:46
They focus on two athletes.
46:50
And I think Jay Birch said
46:51
this the best last night.
46:52
When you eat an elephant,
46:53
you have to do it one bite at a time.
46:57
And they tried to eat the whole elephant.
46:58
To do a waterpalooza,
47:01
one of the biggest events, biggest heats,
47:05
the sheer size and number
47:09
as your first big,
47:10
big endeavor was a lot to take on.
47:15
They'd have been better off
47:16
doing a Crash Crucible or
47:19
something along those lines.
47:22
You have two towns.
47:24
You have World, North America.
47:28
Right.
47:28
Two teams, easy to cover, figure it out,
47:32
get some stuff in place,
47:34
then move on to the bigger thing.
47:36
A hundred percent.
47:37
A hundred percent.
47:38
But hey,
47:39
God bless them for trying because
47:41
without it, if, if they can figure it out,
47:44
if they can share that experience,
47:46
then maybe we get legend streamed.
47:49
Yeah.
47:49
Maybe we get some other things streamed.
47:51
That's what I'm hoping for.
47:52
A hundred percent.
47:55
Well, thanks for coming on again, buddy.
47:58
Appreciate you.
47:59
And we got our top five
48:01
workouts out there.
48:03
So pick one.
48:04
Do it this week.
48:05
Have fun with it.
48:07
Let us know how it goes.
48:08
And if you have a top five,
48:09
throw it in the comments below.
48:11
With that, guys,
48:12
it's time to get back to work.
48:16
We're out of here.
48:17
See you guys.
