- 2:03That was our behind the scenes,
- 2:04like little things.
- 2:05Don't throw me under the bus
- 2:07when you're live.
- 2:08It was not.
- 2:10I was home ready, prepared.
- 2:13We did brunch and last year
- 2:15we had done brunch and it
- 2:16was the worst experience.
- 2:17It was like fifty bucks a
- 2:18person and absolute trash food.
- 2:21It was awful.
- 2:22We found a different place.
- 2:23It was much, much better.
- 2:26so it's good brunch and then
- 2:27we went to uh the lucas's
- 2:29friend who came to cancun
- 2:31with us um they do a big
- 2:34easter extravaganza every
- 2:35year like she hides like a
- 2:37thousand eggs um old kids
- 2:39have to go in one yard
- 2:41young kids have to go in
- 2:41another yard and so yeah
- 2:46brunch is about the booze
- 2:47right I suppose not for us
- 2:50yesterday unfortunately
- 2:53I went home to see my family.
- 2:55It's about two and a half
- 2:56hours from where I live in Toronto.
- 2:59And like,
- 3:00we're just a big French family
- 3:02full of people.
- 3:03And it was jam packed.
- 3:04And it's funny because at one point,
- 3:06like all the significant
- 3:07others are like in the
- 3:08living room because they
- 3:09all need a break from the
- 3:10French chaos that we have.
- 3:11So it was like Lex and like
- 3:13all of the other partners
- 3:14were all just like they're
- 3:15chilling for a little bit.
- 3:16And then it's like everyone
- 3:17needs that little social
- 3:18battery reset because we're pretty loud.
- 3:22when we're all together so
- 3:23all the kids are there um
- 3:25yeah all my nephews niece
- 3:28um it's it's a good time um
- 3:34yeah I I talked about mine
- 3:35on the show today smoked
- 3:37ribs cory was giving me the
- 3:39guilt trip that this could
- 3:40be the last time she gets
- 3:41them for a really long time and
- 3:44So I got up at six forty
- 3:46five in the morning to get
- 3:47them on in time to be done
- 3:48for our Easter lunch.
- 3:51So it was really nice.
- 3:53And then and then it was
- 3:55just she left to go back to
- 3:57Pittsburgh to pack.
- 3:59And then Julie and I just
- 4:00kind of crashed in the evening.
- 4:02But but the one thing I did
- 4:04get done this week is I
- 4:06finished Cobra Kai.
- 4:10and I know it's usually
- 4:13jamie and I talking about
- 4:14the tv but this is for
- 4:15carolyn which I've never
- 4:17watched like any shows so
- 4:19that's the one show I can I
- 4:21can chime in on so I
- 4:22finished cobra kai and like
- 4:26the beginning of the last
- 4:27segment of this season
- 4:29before the last chunk got
- 4:30really dark like really
- 4:33dark with like a kid dying
- 4:37And,
- 4:37and this was kind of the reaction to
- 4:39that and how they were
- 4:40going to come back.
- 4:41And it ended with, in my opinion,
- 4:44all the cheesy goodness
- 4:46that a Karate Kid movie
- 4:48needs to end with.
- 4:49Yeah, it's like, you're the best around.
- 4:54Nothing's gonna ever bring you down.
- 4:58I loved it.
- 4:59Like I liked all the karate
- 5:01kids when I was young.
- 5:02Um,
- 5:03and then it brings back some of my like
- 5:06fighting experiences and my
- 5:09friends and stuff.
- 5:10It just, it's, it's good.
- 5:11It's close.
- 5:12It's close to the heart for me.
- 5:14And then they had kind of
- 5:15like a Marvel-esque final
- 5:17scene that like post-credit-ish.
- 5:22And it starts with two guys at the bar,
- 5:25which turn out to be the
- 5:26writer and director of the
- 5:28Karate Kid movies.
- 5:30And they're negotiating
- 5:31Karate Kid V. And so that is coming out.
- 5:37There's a movie, Karate Kid V,
- 5:39coming out sometime in the future.
- 5:42So it was like a Stanley cameo.
- 5:46Yeah.
- 5:46Kind of like that,
- 5:47but they're just at the bar and they,
- 5:48you hear that conversation in passing.
- 5:51And then it goes to Johnny
- 5:52and Daniel at the ordering
- 5:55sushi and just talking
- 5:56about like where their
- 5:57lives are and all of that stuff.
- 6:00But it was, it was just, it was so cheesy,
- 6:04but it's,
- 6:05I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
- 6:06Yeah.
- 6:08I loved it.
- 6:08Yeah.
- 6:10Yeah.
- 6:12And really the whole story is about Johnny,
- 6:14not Daniel in this, in the series.
- 6:16It's about him coming back from like,
- 6:20he lost to Daniel and the
- 6:21first credit kid in his
- 6:22life kind of went south from there.
- 6:24And this was about him kind
- 6:26of finding his way back.
- 6:29And, and it, and at the end, he is a,
- 6:32you know, a father and a husband and, and,
- 6:36and a champion.
- 6:39He still has his ways, though,
- 6:41that are unchanged over the seasons.
- 6:47Kenneth says,
- 6:47I like the first season with
- 6:48midlife crisis, Johnny.
- 6:54The only thing that I
- 6:56didn't... that was weird is
- 6:59the one episode ends with a
- 7:01boat explosion.
- 7:03And then they never
- 7:03reference it the rest of the movie,
- 7:05the rest of the show.
- 7:07Like...
- 7:07two characters die just and
- 7:11then you don't even mention
- 7:12them the rest of the way
- 7:15but yeah but again still
- 7:19ended on a really high note
- 7:20and really cool and they
- 7:22they finish this like all
- 7:23the kids they give like
- 7:25what they're going to be
- 7:25doing moving forward so you
- 7:28you're not left with empty
- 7:32what happens next thoughts
- 7:34mean maybe the people on the
- 7:35boat didn't die because
- 7:36there's nothing that was
- 7:37confirmed so there wasn't
- 7:39and they'd never talk about
- 7:40it so yeah but it was good
- 7:45I'm glad I'm glad you
- 7:46talked me into watching
- 7:47because I'd watch like the
- 7:48first five seasons and I
- 7:50just hadn't watched six and
- 7:53then I got through all
- 7:54three segments of that now
- 7:56and yeah glad I watched the end
- 8:00Are you, uh,
- 8:01are you watching the last of us?
- 8:04Let's back out.
- 8:05Oh no.
- 8:06I didn't watch the first of us.
- 8:08No.
- 8:11Oh, I thought you watched it.
- 8:13No.
- 8:16I go,
- 8:17I go through like during like big
- 8:19sports seasons, like football and stuff.
- 8:21I don't watch a lot of TV and then,
- 8:23and then I catch up when
- 8:25those seasons are over.
- 8:27Yeah.
- 8:29And I'm really addicted to
- 8:30full swing right now.
- 8:31Okay.
- 8:32Like that's taking all of my,
- 8:33just me alone TV.
- 8:36And when, then I watch this stuff,
- 8:37Julie and I watch together.
- 8:41Fair enough.
- 8:42And full swings getting so
- 8:43good in the second season.
- 8:44Yeah.
- 8:44I got to check that out.
- 8:47And the ties to CrossFit are
- 8:48so much because Liv was Saudi-based,
- 8:52like Saudi-backed.
- 8:54And the fact that some of
- 8:55the proposed buyers of
- 8:57CrossFit are Saudi-backed,
- 8:59and you see the political
- 9:00ramifications of that in this show,
- 9:02you're like,
- 9:03do we even want to go down that path?
- 9:08Like,
- 9:09it really scares me from wanting to
- 9:13go to a Saudi-backed owner.
- 9:15Yeah.
- 9:19Yeah,
- 9:19I don't think people think that far ahead,
- 9:23think that through well enough.
- 9:26Yeah.
- 9:29And they go into the
- 9:29politicalness of that and
- 9:31why it was so controversial.
- 9:36Need like Sousa to do a deep dive on that.
- 9:40Yeah.
- 9:41And they call it sportswashing.
- 9:44where the Saudis buy sports
- 9:45leagues to kind of hide the
- 9:48atrocities they're doing
- 9:50that they don't want
- 9:50anybody to know about.
- 9:55So, yeah, it's insane.
- 9:59Highly recommend the series
- 10:00because it goes into all of that.
- 10:02And the second season starts with that.
- 10:04They're going to merge now,
- 10:06the PGA and liver merging.
- 10:08And the people who stood
- 10:09against live are now like
- 10:11left holding the bag with no money.
- 10:13And the people that left got
- 10:14the big bag of money and
- 10:15they get to come back.
- 10:16Like nothing ever happened.
- 10:18And that's where you're at now,
- 10:20these two factions of golfers.
- 10:23And so you look at the WFP
- 10:27and the CrossFit Games and if they merged,
- 10:30how do you come back together as one?
- 10:35There's so many parallels to it.
- 10:42let's say Milano sorry I'm
- 10:44late what is this show this
- 10:46is a full swing about the
- 10:48PGA Tour oh I thought it
- 10:51was our show too I was like
- 10:52this is actually a Sunday
- 10:54night show that's on the
- 10:54Monday and yeah you were
- 11:00right you were picking up
- 11:00what she was putting down
- 11:01yeah TR Glassman sold out
- 11:05CrossFit anything goes now
- 11:08I mean I sure hope not
- 11:11That's not what we need.
- 11:14Anyway.
- 11:16Yeah, I felt you.
- 11:18I felt you, Netze.
- 11:19I felt you.
- 11:20You were good.
- 11:21Yeah,
- 11:22I was going another direction with that.
- 11:24Me too.
- 11:25All right.
- 11:27So let's start with the shit
- 11:28show because that's
- 11:29probably going to take most of the time.
- 11:31And then we'll go from there
- 11:34on the rest of the rundown.
- 11:35And so today,
- 11:36and I'm going to try to pull
- 11:37up the IG quick.
- 11:38I didn't have this one ready.
- 11:40The IG,
- 11:41the CrossFit Games announced the
- 11:44five workouts that will be
- 11:46available for... Teams?
- 11:51Teams, yes.
- 11:55And unless you are under a rock,
- 11:57you've probably seen
- 11:58something about this today.
- 12:02So... Here we go.
- 12:07Let's get right to the
- 12:08workout that has everybody in an uproar.
- 12:13Right, Lisa.
- 12:14Yes.
- 12:16And that is workout four.
- 12:18This is an online semifinal
- 12:20event for the teams.
- 12:24And in this,
- 12:24it starts with an eight hundred meter run,
- 12:27one hundred pull ups,
- 12:29eight hundred meter run,
- 12:30one hundred chest of our pull ups,
- 12:33eight hundred meter run,
- 12:34one hundred muscle ups.
- 12:36We have twenty five minutes.
- 12:39Ring muscle up for that one.
- 12:40Yeah.
- 12:41Yeah.
- 12:41Ring muscle ups.
- 12:45So, Carolyn.
- 12:48This is the stupidest thing
- 12:49I've ever seen in my life
- 12:50for a CrossFit program.
- 12:52Workout.
- 12:52to go to a world
- 12:53championship like the CrossFit Games.
- 12:56It is so stupid to like
- 12:58running for distance.
- 13:01in an online format.
- 13:02Like there's no way that
- 13:04anything is standardized.
- 13:05You just took away the whole
- 13:06standardization of an online competition.
- 13:08The distances aren't gonna be the same.
- 13:10It called eight hundreds are
- 13:12not gonna be the same.
- 13:13Even watch to watch is not the same.
- 13:17The climate's different.
- 13:18Like we're just able to run outdoors now,
- 13:21like in certain climates.
- 13:23Um,
- 13:23some gyms have are in basements where
- 13:26they have to go out of
- 13:27their gym through hallways,
- 13:28maybe upstairs,
- 13:29down the stairs to get out.
- 13:32Uh,
- 13:32you have gyms in affiliates that are in
- 13:34cities that have traffic
- 13:35lights around them.
- 13:36People walking busy streets.
- 13:39You're programming eight
- 13:40hundred meters with a pull
- 13:41up bar with rings.
- 13:43It's the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
- 13:46It is so easy to cheat.
- 13:48So easy to cheat.
- 13:49You're requiring no one to
- 13:50actually prove anything for distance.
- 13:52People could be hiding
- 13:53behind trees after they're
- 13:55all out of the camera.
- 13:56You can give the watch to
- 13:57someone who is a good runner,
- 13:59who's going to run a route
- 14:00that's eight hundred meters.
- 14:01That's really fast.
- 14:02Come back.
- 14:03One athlete can do it and
- 14:04the other ones could chill.
- 14:06It is so beyond stupid.
- 14:09There's no words.
- 14:10I don't know what they were thinking.
- 14:13I've done the banded
- 14:13challenge years ago for
- 14:14Rogue and Rogue has some of
- 14:16the best implements of standards.
- 14:19And that one is a two
- 14:20hundred meters out and back
- 14:22and you have to bring clips.
- 14:23So they did something
- 14:24similar in twenty twenty
- 14:25for the twenty twenty games.
- 14:27But that one you sent judges to to do that,
- 14:31to do that run for the the Nancy workout.
- 14:35what people did years ago
- 14:37for the bandit challenges
- 14:38they would film their
- 14:39measurement put the cone
- 14:41there put their clips turn
- 14:42around the camera and
- 14:43someone just grab the cones
- 14:44and the clips and move them
- 14:45forward you had people
- 14:46jogging a four hundred
- 14:48meters in like a minute and
- 14:49ten they're like and I'm
- 14:50like that is not a minute
- 14:53ten four hundred like it
- 14:54was blatant cheating and
- 14:56they redid it this year
- 14:57with the same standard
- 14:58which I was surprised
- 14:59because rogue normally like
- 15:01would learn from that um you
- 15:04can't do distance like that
- 15:06as soon as you're off of
- 15:07camera as soon as the
- 15:09measurements will come off
- 15:10of camera things will move
- 15:14things are moving like you
- 15:16the only way you could do
- 15:17this is in a shuttle run
- 15:20format that can stay on
- 15:22camera you could do maybe
- 15:25fifty foot at most a
- 15:27hundred foot shuttles like
- 15:29you go a hundred
- 15:31like maybe two hundred feet,
- 15:32but you can't go much more
- 15:33than that where you start
- 15:34losing people like because
- 15:38still like even even as you measure,
- 15:40once your back is turned in
- 15:42certain angles,
- 15:42like like there's just it's stupid.
- 15:45I can't believe it's programmed.
- 15:48My suggestion is you have to
- 15:50have a bicyclist who is an
- 15:52advanced certified bicyclist.
- 15:56And then that bicyclist has
- 15:58to follow you on the run
- 16:00with a camera to keep you all on.
- 16:02But they have to be a licensed,
- 16:06advanced cyclist to be able to do that.
- 16:08I'm going to put Healy shoes
- 16:10on and just rollerblade my
- 16:11way around the whole eight
- 16:12hundred meter loop.
- 16:14Like you can literally do
- 16:14anything like it's so stupid.
- 16:18It's so stupid.
- 16:19You brought this up, Carolyn,
- 16:21so I'm going to read this.
- 16:23Nicole Sherman says,
- 16:24the only reasonable way for
- 16:26covering a run for online
- 16:27qualifier would be to video
- 16:29at an actual track,
- 16:31but then no rig next to the track,
- 16:33for sure no rings.
- 16:35No, and even every track is not the same.
- 16:39Right.
- 16:40I have a track here in Toronto,
- 16:41the one that I normally run at.
- 16:42Normally, I don't run at it that often.
- 16:45But if I do choose to go run at that track,
- 16:47it's like a four hundred and ten meter.
- 16:49I've seen tracks that are
- 16:50shorter than four hundred meters.
- 16:52And then there's also like
- 16:52just regular people work like there.
- 16:54If they get in the video
- 16:56like and they cover you
- 16:57because you're doing the
- 16:58video and they cut your
- 17:00reps because like they're
- 17:01walking the front.
- 17:01Like it's very hard to.
- 17:04You're not really renting a track.
- 17:05Like it's a public space for most people.
- 17:08Some people don't even have
- 17:09access to that.
- 17:09And the different climates,
- 17:10like you're asking people
- 17:12to go on a certain weekend.
- 17:13Like it can be like a storm
- 17:15that weekend and you're shit out of luck.
- 17:19And you're trying to compare
- 17:20it to someone's perfect
- 17:21weather conditions.
- 17:22No wind, no nothing.
- 17:24It's not comparable.
- 17:25You cannot do like, it's just not doable.
- 17:29And I get running is an
- 17:31essential part of fitness, right?
- 17:33But unless it's in a closed area,
- 17:37like where you take away
- 17:39any environmental factors,
- 17:41like you cannot compare
- 17:42from region to region,
- 17:43even the twenty twenty
- 17:45games when you're sending
- 17:47judges and stuff,
- 17:48at least the courses were
- 17:49legitimate with the sent
- 17:50judges from the HQ.
- 17:52But I still think there's
- 17:54differences in wind factors
- 17:56and and stuff like that,
- 17:58that like it's not comparable.
- 18:04What was I going to say?
- 18:06Can you imagine being an
- 18:07online judge and having to
- 18:09watch someone wheel out the
- 18:11eight hundred meters?
- 18:13And then you get into the
- 18:15workout that you have to judge.
- 18:17Yeah, that's going to take so long.
- 18:19Yeah.
- 18:22Yeah, I that's.
- 18:25I would have rather them required.
- 18:28So when I did one of the.
- 18:30Yeah.
- 18:32I don't even remember.
- 18:33It wasn't for High Rocks.
- 18:34It was for something else
- 18:36that Hunter was doing four years ago.
- 18:39And we had to run five miles, I think.
- 18:43But you had to submit your Strava.
- 18:45And I think you had to take a picture.
- 18:48And there's a way that
- 18:50CrossFit could have done
- 18:51this a little better.
- 18:53Literally all four people
- 18:54needed to keep their phone
- 18:55on them or a Garmin and
- 18:57show the camera when they
- 18:58finished their total.
- 19:00Are they sending us Garmins now?
- 19:03I mean, you can put your phone on.
- 19:04If you don't want to run with, like,
- 19:06I would choose to get a
- 19:07Garmin watch because I have one.
- 19:08But if you don't have that,
- 19:10then put your phone in your
- 19:11pocket and run with that on Strava.
- 19:13But what's to say someone
- 19:14else can't have a phone and
- 19:15they're doing the same route?
- 19:18yeah I mean like how do you
- 19:20you're not you're not on
- 19:20camera what's to say you
- 19:22can't give a watch to
- 19:23someone someone can't run
- 19:24that route at that time and
- 19:25you're hiding behind a tree
- 19:26resting right it the only
- 19:29successful way to do this
- 19:30would have been to do
- 19:31shuttles like pick your
- 19:32sixty shuttles or whatever
- 19:33you want and they should
- 19:34have done it the way wfp
- 19:36did without having to touch
- 19:37the floor like literally
- 19:38just keep you running in
- 19:40the gym and watch it
- 19:42I mean, we did around the cone.
- 19:44So yeah,
- 19:46like we did fifty for the semifinals.
- 19:49It sucks.
- 19:50But I do think if you aren't
- 19:51bending down and you're
- 19:52trying to test the running capacity there,
- 19:56they could have
- 19:56successfully done this in
- 19:57the gym and kept it on camera,
- 19:59watched it.
- 20:01I have no idea why they are
- 20:02choosing to do this outside.
- 20:03Like,
- 20:04did they learn nothing from age group?
- 20:08I don't care if you had this
- 20:09program and you're like,
- 20:10this is going to work well.
- 20:12We're requiring level one
- 20:13judges and we're requiring affiliates.
- 20:15And even if you had that,
- 20:18the second you started the
- 20:21age group and you saw things coming in,
- 20:22they should have been like,
- 20:23we need to change this run to shuttles.
- 20:25It needs to be on film and
- 20:27that we can watch the whole time.
- 20:29So we're just trusting
- 20:30people now because we've
- 20:32proven that that isn't going to work.
- 20:33Well, it says also in the rules that
- 20:35if you plan on like being a
- 20:37qualifying team only those
- 20:38ones need to provide proof
- 20:39so if you're a team that is
- 20:41doing this just for shits
- 20:42and giggles your video your
- 20:44proof of a distance does
- 20:45not matter but you can
- 20:46still affect the
- 20:47leaderboard just up on the
- 20:48leaderboard yeah people
- 20:49going to the games because
- 20:51you have no proof go ahead
- 20:53and do do it with integrity yeah yeah
- 20:56Because that's what we're
- 20:57going off of right now.
- 20:59Like, what are we doing?
- 21:01This thing is standardized,
- 21:03and there's no cheating around it,
- 21:04and you're filming and all of that.
- 21:06I'm sure this is why they
- 21:07didn't choose a track either,
- 21:08because then that's a
- 21:11workout that you don't have
- 21:12to go to an affiliate for.
- 21:14Oh, my goodness.
- 21:16People could have just gone anywhere.
- 21:20They're effing over the affiliates by...
- 21:23by choosing to go back into
- 21:25the gym and have and
- 21:26needing a pull-up rig and
- 21:27stuff like the affiliates
- 21:28that this helps are the
- 21:29ones that have big garages
- 21:31and that they can just run
- 21:32out directly from their rig
- 21:34to a flat surface that are
- 21:35probably in the middle of
- 21:36nowhere in a city that they
- 21:38can just run their eight
- 21:39hundreds well imagine a lot
- 21:41of small affiliates or big
- 21:42town like big city
- 21:43affiliates don't have that
- 21:45they can't do that like
- 21:47they have multiple doors
- 21:48maybe to come out like
- 21:50you're wasting time and like
- 21:51that should not be part of
- 21:52the qualifying process to a
- 21:54world championship like the
- 21:55crossfit games right like
- 21:57at least I don't know like
- 22:01at least the twenty twenty
- 22:02it was the crossfit games
- 22:04yeah people had already
- 22:05qualified to the games this
- 22:06is not a like it wasn't a
- 22:07qualifier yeah it was a
- 22:08qualifier for the in person
- 22:11I still don't, like,
- 22:12at least they sent judges that year.
- 22:14Right.
- 22:16But that was at least the CrossFit Games.
- 22:18You're talking about a
- 22:19qualifying process with non-sent judges,
- 22:23just people that had their
- 22:24L-I and their advanced course.
- 22:27And, like,
- 22:30they couldn't even measure their
- 22:32own distances.
- 22:34So now we have to measure ours,
- 22:35and ours needs to be correct.
- 22:36But, no, this is –
- 22:40This is like eyeopening for
- 22:43what's probably coming for
- 22:44the individuals.
- 22:45And I'm like, Oh my gosh.
- 22:47So let me ask you this.
- 22:49Do you think that CrossFit
- 22:51believes that because they
- 22:53have an L one advanced judge that,
- 22:56that they will uphold the integrity?
- 22:59I think they do think that
- 23:00we've just proven that
- 23:01that's even though we've
- 23:02seen it judges impersonated.
- 23:05Yeah.
- 23:07we've seen no videos for someone's claims.
- 23:14Not in an affiliate that
- 23:15they said they did.
- 23:16Right.
- 23:16Like, like just, so to me, that is,
- 23:24that is the fallacy of this
- 23:26whole thing is they believe
- 23:28that the L one judge makes
- 23:30this have integrity to it.
- 23:33And people will then follow the rules.
- 23:35Right.
- 23:35That's what struck, like,
- 23:36that's what bothers me most about this.
- 23:41Right.
- 23:42Cause you're right, Carolyn.
- 23:42Cause even when they did the online games,
- 23:46they sent out judges that they.
- 23:51Right.
- 23:51Right.
- 23:55yeah like it's it's not even
- 23:58like at that that year is
- 23:59not comparable there's
- 24:01you're asking a very small
- 24:03number of athletes twenty
- 24:05yeah thirty technically was
- 24:07it thirty twenty it was
- 24:09small enough that it
- 24:11actually was like watched
- 24:13and reviewed like didn't
- 24:14those all go live
- 24:15essentially we all like
- 24:17yeah all of their videos
- 24:18but it I still think it's
- 24:19different like this is a a mass qualifier
- 24:23Yeah.
- 24:23For the CrossFit Games.
- 24:27I found this.
- 24:29I don't get it.
- 24:30Is there a small chance that
- 24:31they could change this
- 24:32workout now that everybody
- 24:33is telling them the issues?
- 24:35And Lynn responded, Denise Ha,
- 24:38HQ has never admitted failure.
- 24:41They're not about to start now.
- 24:42That's the thing.
- 24:44You would think they would
- 24:45have changed the workout after age group.
- 24:48If they were going to change the workout,
- 24:49they would have already changed it.
- 24:51They would have been like, eh,
- 24:53this isn't working as well
- 24:54as we had hoped.
- 24:56You just,
- 24:57you can't be strict on like
- 24:59people lost scores in the
- 25:01age group qualifier for
- 25:02their foot being over a
- 25:03line that was too close to
- 25:05five foot from the box.
- 25:06Okay.
- 25:07That's how strict some of
- 25:08the online judging was for the age group.
- 25:11Now you're asking athletes
- 25:12to be way out of camera.
- 25:13The head judge means nothing
- 25:14at this point.
- 25:15The floor judge means nothing.
- 25:16They can't see anything that's going on.
- 25:18Your object that you're
- 25:20going around that's eight
- 25:21hundred meters away or
- 25:22you're doing shuttle runs,
- 25:23which is some people could
- 25:24do it in a hundred meters.
- 25:26You could do it however you want.
- 25:27It's a different workout, too.
- 25:28If you do shuttle version
- 25:29versus a eight hundred
- 25:31meter loop where you don't
- 25:32have any stops and starts
- 25:34like it's just you can't be
- 25:36so strict on one part of a
- 25:38qualifier on your distances.
- 25:40And this one is do whatever
- 25:42you want to do your eight hundred and.
- 25:46Like you could leave an
- 25:47object out and measure it
- 25:49and frigging a person
- 25:50walking could be moving it because, oh,
- 25:52I found this cone here.
- 25:53Yeah.
- 25:55I mean,
- 25:56are they asking like the head judge
- 25:58to go stand at the cone?
- 26:00No, there's nothing that says that.
- 26:02I mean,
- 26:02that's just crazy to me because if
- 26:03you are wanting the
- 26:04integrity of the affiliate,
- 26:07there needs to be something
- 26:09in there about one of the
- 26:11judges needs to go to the
- 26:13other end of however you
- 26:14chose to do this.
- 26:16It doesn't matter because
- 26:17there's no camera going to
- 26:18catch the other end during
- 26:19the actual run.
- 26:22I get that,
- 26:22but if you really want to ask
- 26:25people to have any integrity,
- 26:29at least have a judge out there.
- 26:30Well,
- 26:32who's to say the person doesn't film
- 26:34the measurement out to the
- 26:36cone or the whatever.
- 26:38Move it.
- 26:38Turn around, come back in,
- 26:40and then his buddies in the
- 26:41bushes comes out and moves
- 26:42the cone closer.
- 26:43Right.
- 26:44For sure.
- 26:46I can totally see teams with
- 26:48their slowest runner,
- 26:50just like one or two people
- 26:52running to the cone and the
- 26:54other and the second they turn,
- 26:56everyone turns so that they
- 26:57get back at about the same time.
- 27:00I mean,
- 27:00I think half of the teams will do that.
- 27:04They'll be like, well,
- 27:05we had two of our people run it.
- 27:07I mean, and we were close.
- 27:09And we have proof of one watch.
- 27:12And the watch doesn't even,
- 27:13you don't even have to send
- 27:14the proof at the same time
- 27:16as the video review.
- 27:18You could have someone else
- 27:18just run a fast eight hundred a couple,
- 27:20like a few times.
- 27:21That's not even part of your team.
- 27:23Literally just show the proof of this,
- 27:25this, that this is eight hundred meters.
- 27:28I could put it on Walter and make him run.
- 27:31as it put it on as a dog
- 27:33collar and he'll take off
- 27:35like a shot uh lynn I'm
- 27:39just laughing because I
- 27:39literally thought it was a
- 27:40troll post with the
- 27:41workouts I just can't
- 27:44believe it like I looked at
- 27:46it and I was like I didn't
- 27:47even look at like most of
- 27:48the workouts because I was
- 27:49like no there's no there's
- 27:50no way that this is real
- 27:52like I could not believe
- 27:53that they thought that this
- 27:54was gonna work or they
- 27:56think that this is gonna work
- 27:58So I know a ton of people
- 28:00who have put out stuff about this.
- 28:03Uh, Justin Kotler did a very nice, uh,
- 28:08reserved review of these workouts.
- 28:12And I was going to share it real quick.
- 28:14Let's hear it.
- 28:16Um, cause he, he goes into one,
- 28:19he kills the run,
- 28:21but then he goes into some
- 28:22other stuff as well.
- 28:23So, um,
- 28:26So I can't lie,
- 28:27I was and still am to some
- 28:28degree very stoked for this
- 28:30week's CrossFit Games team online semis.
- 28:32After seeing the workouts,
- 28:33I have some thoughts.
- 28:35Running outside in an online
- 28:36qualifier is interesting.
- 28:39I think many of the
- 28:40potential issues have been
- 28:41raised in some of the posts I've seen,
- 28:43but I'd love to further
- 28:44that discussion here.
- 28:46While I'm pleased we'll see
- 28:47some weightlifting synchro
- 28:48work and some ring muscle-ups,
- 28:50there is nothing inverted.
- 28:51Handstand push-ups, handstand walks,
- 28:53wall walks.
- 28:54There are no GHD sit-ups,
- 28:56no rope climbs of any kind,
- 28:58and no synchro gymnastics of any kind.
- 29:00Is it just me,
- 29:01or shouldn't we see a few of
- 29:02these things if you are
- 29:04qualifying the twenty best
- 29:05teams in the world for the
- 29:07CrossFit Games?
- 29:10Have we dumbed down the
- 29:10workouts too much because
- 29:12of the low bar of entry to team semis?
- 29:15Do these look more like
- 29:16quarterfinal workouts or
- 29:18then semifinal workouts?
- 29:20I'd love to have a civil,
- 29:21thoughtful discussion about it.
- 29:22If you have positive opinions,
- 29:24let them fly.
- 29:25If you have constructive criticism,
- 29:26we'd love to hear that also.
- 29:28I wanted to love these workouts,
- 29:30but they leave me feeling incomplete.
- 29:33Speaking of the one point
- 29:35that he made about the synchronized stuff,
- 29:37like in most of the workouts,
- 29:39it says like, like one of the workouts,
- 29:40the synchro is three
- 29:42athletes out of the four
- 29:43working at the same time.
- 29:44So one can be resting.
- 29:45And most of them say there's
- 29:47no minimum work requirement
- 29:48for any of the athletes.
- 29:50So they could do the eight hundred meters.
- 29:52Three athletes could chip
- 29:53away at all of the rest of
- 29:54the things or one male,
- 29:56one female when there's like a mixed pair,
- 29:58like even the first one
- 29:59with the clean and jerk.
- 30:00Nothing.
- 30:02That one's twenty synchro
- 30:03bar facing burpees.
- 30:05That one, that part.
- 30:06But like the clean and jerk,
- 30:07you could have one athlete
- 30:07lifting the whole time.
- 30:08Yeah.
- 30:09The gymnastics on the bar
- 30:10muscle ups or the ring muscle ups,
- 30:13the chest, the bar and the other one.
- 30:16You could have the same two
- 30:16athletes technically doing
- 30:18the whole workout there and
- 30:18you could hide your worst athlete.
- 30:23That just gives you maybe one set.
- 30:26It says there's no minimum
- 30:27work requirement for any of
- 30:29those athletes on those
- 30:31movements that are just
- 30:31split however you want.
- 30:33Yeah.
- 30:35It's crazy.
- 30:35And then you have a max front squat,
- 30:36which to me is...
- 30:40a big outlier in a five
- 30:42scored event thing.
- 30:44And just like a one rep max front squat.
- 30:48And then you have a running work.
- 30:50Yeah.
- 30:50Like I just, I have a lot of questions,
- 30:53a lot of questions.
- 30:55So Justin, that Carolyn civil responses,
- 30:59this is dumb.
- 31:03I'm going to wake up Lex and
- 31:05she's probably trying to sleep.
- 31:05And she's like, boy,
- 31:07I just feel like this is their,
- 31:10we don't really care about you teams.
- 31:12Like that.
- 31:14I don't know.
- 31:15That's what I'm getting.
- 31:16Like, we just don't really care.
- 31:20I think they do, but like, I'm like,
- 31:21I don't know that they do.
- 31:25And then I'm like, yeah, I don't know.
- 31:27In what world did they have
- 31:28a conversation?
- 31:29Like, yeah, let's do eight hundred meters.
- 31:30I think that'll work.
- 31:31Yeah,
- 31:31I think I think this is the time to
- 31:33try it.
- 31:36They had that conversation
- 31:37and who gave that feedback
- 31:39that this was going to be okay?
- 31:41Who's in these conversations?
- 31:43I just want to know that.
- 31:45Who are these ideas bouncing off of?
- 31:51That is a good question.
- 31:52I feel like
- 31:54Cause like it is unanimous.
- 31:56It is unanimous for everyone
- 31:58online that thinks that this is stupid.
- 32:01This is horrible to, to test.
- 32:05It's not even at all like
- 32:08across a global online competition.
- 32:11So I'm like, who had these discussions?
- 32:15Like who said yes.
- 32:17Right.
- 32:18Nicole Sherman says, yeah,
- 32:19the twenty teams get there,
- 32:21then make them repeat the
- 32:22eight hundred meters in person.
- 32:24Let's see who cheated.
- 32:26But it's still not fair for
- 32:28the teams that get there
- 32:29and cheated off of teams
- 32:30that did the proper like eight hundred.
- 32:34Right.
- 32:35Yeah,
- 32:36it would be nice if they would change
- 32:39this to shuttles, but I don't I mean,
- 32:40I think there's no show row.
- 32:42I could do without shuttles
- 32:44the rest of my life it it's
- 32:46fine we have them every
- 32:49year it's fine it's just
- 32:52boring to watch not that
- 32:54this is any place where I
- 32:55can watch it anyway but
- 32:57even the burpee over the
- 32:59line like you have two
- 33:00barbells that are out you
- 33:01could have had the burpees
- 33:02over the bars easily uh
- 33:06julian eifert isn't this
- 33:07what the cac is for how do
- 33:09they feel about it
- 33:11My guess is they weren't
- 33:12shown the workouts ahead of time either.
- 33:14I doubt they would be.
- 33:15I doubt they were.
- 33:16They're in the lump of the
- 33:18internet fire that is going on right now.
- 33:20I sure hope they're getting
- 33:22a meeting and bringing up some concerns.
- 33:25Here's the thing.
- 33:26You have the kale issue.
- 33:27You have the man-made CrossFit issue.
- 33:31You are continuously promoting cheaters.
- 33:39It is really hard to have
- 33:40any faith in this sport and
- 33:42think people are doing things correctly.
- 33:44Luckily,
- 33:45there is people like Hiller that
- 33:47bring some of this to light,
- 33:49but I'm certain that
- 33:51there's other people that
- 33:53pulled the same thing
- 33:54Manmay did and didn't get caught.
- 33:57And...
- 33:58The fact that, like,
- 33:59people like Cale get
- 34:00through with no repercussions,
- 34:02maybe he will get some.
- 34:03But, like, that's the only... Like,
- 34:05Man May needs to be banned
- 34:07from ever submitting scores
- 34:10as an affiliate.
- 34:11Like,
- 34:11I heard some people say they should
- 34:12have their affiliation revoked.
- 34:14I don't know if I'd go that far.
- 34:16But they shouldn't be able
- 34:17to just be able to, like...
- 34:22confirm workouts anymore for
- 34:23they shouldn't be a
- 34:25affiliate in good standing
- 34:26that can perform open
- 34:28quarters semis any of that
- 34:31like you have to have some
- 34:33repercussions or people are
- 34:34going to continue to skirt
- 34:36all these lines so cory
- 34:38says it would be a crap ton
- 34:39of shuttles mind numbing to
- 34:40judge and count so I would
- 34:43change the way that like
- 34:44what the workout is
- 34:46I was with Jamie when she
- 34:47did the Fifty Shuttles.
- 34:48I was filming that for a documentary.
- 34:51I was trying to find every
- 34:52creative possible way to
- 34:54shoot that that was different.
- 34:57And you just run out of options.
- 35:01Yeah, it is what it is.
- 35:02I mean...
- 35:04You,
- 35:05you either deal with shuttles or you
- 35:07have a shit show like this,
- 35:09or you have a completely
- 35:09different workout.
- 35:11I'd rather have a hundred shuttles than,
- 35:14than this,
- 35:15then something that's at least like, yeah,
- 35:18it's going to be annoying
- 35:19to count whatever,
- 35:21but at least I know
- 35:24everyone did the same thing.
- 35:25Agree.
- 35:27at least everyone did the
- 35:28same workout to get to the games, right?
- 35:30Like this is not the same workout.
- 35:32Some people are going up and
- 35:33down stairs through waiting
- 35:34at a traffic light,
- 35:36weaving in and out of crowds.
- 35:38Other, other gyms are, you know,
- 35:40in a position that they can
- 35:41do this workout as written
- 35:43and it's great.
- 35:45But for a lot of people, it's, it's not.
- 35:47And it's, it's a burden to the affiliate,
- 35:51um,
- 35:53And it's not going to be run the same.
- 35:54It's a different workout.
- 35:55It's a different workout.
- 35:57We're talking about like
- 35:59seconds in a workout that matter.
- 36:01Like this is a comp that matters.
- 36:03This is not something that
- 36:04you just throw things to test.
- 36:07It's just not like you don't
- 36:08do that for a qualifier.
- 36:10That's this important.
- 36:13I do want to say this.
- 36:15We talk about the man-made
- 36:17CrossFit and the Kale situation.
- 36:19But has that still even been confirmed?
- 36:21I don't think anything's been confirmed.
- 36:23So Dave did his week in review today.
- 36:26I'll talk about that a little bit further.
- 36:28But I do want to say this.
- 36:30With everybody having to
- 36:31make their videos public in
- 36:34the age group semis,
- 36:35which is really the first
- 36:36time we got to review videos,
- 36:39I thought the movements were...
- 36:43Eighty percent better than
- 36:44they have been in the past.
- 36:46That alone,
- 36:48just the fear of someone
- 36:49calling you out on your
- 36:51movements made people get better.
- 36:54While we're bitching about
- 36:56some of these outliers and
- 36:57people trying to be
- 36:58creative with the cheating,
- 37:00I do think that a lot of
- 37:02stuff got cleaned up.
- 37:03Yeah,
- 37:04fantastic work by the games team to
- 37:06make the videos public.
- 37:08Great idea.
- 37:09While we're going down this path,
- 37:11I just want to say that
- 37:13they did do something right
- 37:14this year and not hammer on
- 37:17them because it did get better.
- 37:18And someone on the Dave's
- 37:19Week in Review wrote in.
- 37:23They reviewed like
- 37:23ninety-some people and they
- 37:26were all bad and nobody got
- 37:28penalized for anything.
- 37:30And I think that person is just...
- 37:33A person who wants perfect
- 37:34movement on everything like
- 37:36it is in the L-I and not in
- 37:38a competition and meeting the standards.
- 37:40Those are two different
- 37:41things because I did not
- 37:43find that at all when I was
- 37:45looking through several, several videos.
- 37:48I thought the movements were much,
- 37:49much better.
- 37:50So I just wanted to say that,
- 37:52that I thought that helped a ton.
- 37:56but people are getting creative.
- 37:59Yeah.
- 37:59I think just important just
- 38:00to get the videos out there
- 38:02just in general.
- 38:02So you could see the
- 38:03performances of different
- 38:04athletes and different scores.
- 38:05Like I enjoyed that.
- 38:09Corey said it would be a fun
- 38:10team workout for an
- 38:11affiliate on a Saturday.
- 38:12It would be if everybody's
- 38:14together in the same place
- 38:15and you can walk outside and see the run.
- 38:18And you compete against
- 38:19people at your gym that did
- 38:20the same course.
- 38:22Right.
- 38:22Yeah.
- 38:24At the same weather condition.
- 38:28If semifinals were still in person,
- 38:29it would be fine.
- 38:30It's like if they threw sleds.
- 38:33It's like if they threw
- 38:34sleds in an online
- 38:35qualifier and they're like, hey,
- 38:36let's do fifty foot of sleds.
- 38:38Use this rogue sled.
- 38:40Pick whatever surface you want.
- 38:43And you're on turf.
- 38:43Yeah.
- 38:47Like it's stuff that you...
- 38:47Canadians are on ice.
- 38:48It could be real easy.
- 38:50Yeah.
- 38:52out there curling it it's
- 38:53like why we couldn't
- 38:56compare at the semifinals
- 38:58the australian semifinals
- 39:00to the north america ones
- 39:01or the european ones like
- 39:02it just was a different
- 39:03surface for the sleds like
- 39:04it's the same thing for the
- 39:07for the running conditions
- 39:09like you can't compare as
- 39:10soon as there's a different
- 39:13like it's not the same um
- 39:16Something.
- 39:17Yeah.
- 39:18And they're even requiring
- 39:19like three judges for like
- 39:21three of the workouts too.
- 39:23Oh, are they?
- 39:24Yes.
- 39:25Like it was hard enough for
- 39:26you guys to get to two,
- 39:27four judges and a head judge.
- 39:31So they need three people
- 39:33with L ones and the
- 39:34advanced judges course for
- 39:37three out of the five workouts.
- 39:39Have fun teams.
- 39:42I,
- 39:42I don't even feel bad for him at this
- 39:43point.
- 39:43All right.
- 39:46Well,
- 39:46I think we've hammered that to death.
- 39:49So the other thing that's
- 39:51been hammered to death is
- 39:53trying to analyze what Tia says.
- 39:56Word salad, always.
- 39:59I said today on my live
- 40:01lunch break show that I
- 40:04truly feel now that she
- 40:06just wants to be cryptic.
- 40:08Because with everybody
- 40:09saying one or the other,
- 40:11she had ample opportunity
- 40:12to come out and say,
- 40:13what I meant to say was,
- 40:15and she hasn't done it.
- 40:18So she wants it that way.
- 40:21Yeah, she wants options.
- 40:25Right.
- 40:27So I want to open up the
- 40:29floor to you guys because
- 40:30you haven't had the
- 40:30opportunity to talk about it.
- 40:32Any thoughts on what she said last week?
- 40:34Or do you think it's a big
- 40:36nothing burger and we just
- 40:37need to move on and see
- 40:38what happens after Torian?
- 40:40Yeah, I think it's a nothing burger.
- 40:41I mean, the second it came out,
- 40:43I said to you guys, I was like,
- 40:46I don't think she's done like that.
- 40:47That wasn't a retirement to me.
- 40:49Like that was a, this is my last Torian.
- 40:52Okay.
- 40:53It does not mean you're done
- 40:54with the season.
- 40:55Once I saw the podcast,
- 40:57that was like the proven one.
- 40:58I think it was an unproven.
- 40:59Yeah.
- 41:00Once I saw that one, I was like, Oh,
- 41:01she's competing at the games.
- 41:02Yeah.
- 41:03Like she was talking like, oh,
- 41:04forty five days after this
- 41:06High Rocks championship is
- 41:07the CrossFit Games.
- 41:08And I've come back from a, you know,
- 41:09a bigger deficit before
- 41:11being pregnant and coming back.
- 41:13And like I was like, no,
- 41:16she's not like she'll do
- 41:17the Torian and will qualify.
- 41:21She's thrown a little bit more.
- 41:22I've seen a little bit more
- 41:23barbell stuff lately in her things.
- 41:26Yeah.
- 41:28she doesn't want to like
- 41:29bring her teammates down
- 41:30for the hierarchy.
- 41:31She's going to give everything there.
- 41:32But I, I think there's like,
- 41:35I don't think she's retiring at Torian.
- 41:37She won't sit that way.
- 41:41Tell me why.
- 41:46So gotta have fun with it.
- 41:48Right.
- 41:49Um,
- 41:50The one thing I did,
- 41:51I did want to address one thing.
- 41:53Corey said,
- 41:53even with what Scott is saying
- 41:54about movement quality,
- 41:55I finished eight spots
- 41:56higher than I did when the
- 41:58leaderboard first opened up.
- 41:59But I would contend a lot of
- 42:00that was the rules weren't followed.
- 42:05Like measuring distance from
- 42:06box to dumbbell,
- 42:08or that's what we found a
- 42:10lot of more than actually
- 42:11movement standards.
- 42:14Yeah.
- 42:15Yeah.
- 42:16A common one was the men
- 42:19used a thirty five pound
- 42:20dumbbell to do their burpees over.
- 42:22And they were supposed to use a fifty.
- 42:24That was a common one in that age,
- 42:25even though they never
- 42:26picked it up the entire workout.
- 42:28Right.
- 42:29But they did say, I mean, they wanted to.
- 42:30They they said it showed like a minimum or,
- 42:35you know, you couldn't.
- 42:37So.
- 42:38I read through that stuff.
- 42:39I know it does seem weird.
- 42:41It's so minimal.
- 42:42It's the one that like, if you do,
- 42:44let's say,
- 42:45twenty nine burpees in one in
- 42:47the first round,
- 42:48your score stopped right there.
- 42:50Like one of the girls in the
- 42:52thirty five to thirty nine
- 42:53did twenty nine out of the
- 42:54thirty burpees in the first
- 42:55round and her score stopped there,
- 42:58even though she finished the rest.
- 42:59Like one burpee shy was
- 43:02worse than getting no rep
- 43:04and getting like,
- 43:05I don't know what it would
- 43:05have been like four or five seconds.
- 43:07Yeah, exactly.
- 43:08Like the score just stopped right there.
- 43:11I'm like, I'm like, damn,
- 43:12like if that was like a
- 43:13double under and someone
- 43:15did forty nine instead of fifty,
- 43:17like with that score,
- 43:18just stop right there.
- 43:19Like, that's crazy.
- 43:21I don't like that because
- 43:22things like that have
- 43:23happened at the games.
- 43:25They don't judges are
- 43:27Saunders twenty to seventeen,
- 43:29like figure out, figure it out.
- 43:32I mean,
- 43:32I don't care if you give her a
- 43:33minute penalty.
- 43:35And it's not like a burpee
- 43:37is the same type of missed
- 43:38rep as a legless rope climb.
- 43:40Right.
- 43:42There's differences in a
- 43:44blatant missed rep.
- 43:47I don't know.
- 43:49I'm not doing this last jerk
- 43:50because it was too heavy
- 43:51and I'm moving on.
- 43:53I'm going to count that one.
- 43:54Double unders, even shuttles,
- 43:57shit like that.
- 43:58I can see a judge having an
- 44:00error like that.
- 44:01Yeah.
- 44:05Back to Tia, one last thing.
- 44:07Carolyn,
- 44:07you pointed out something this
- 44:08week where the way she
- 44:10talked in that Proven
- 44:11podcast proved why she's a champion.
- 44:15Yeah.
- 44:15Like I sent you guys the video.
- 44:16It was like when they were
- 44:17talking about doing Isabel,
- 44:19like the heavy Isabel and like,
- 44:23they're kind of making fun
- 44:24of her strength right now
- 44:26versus like where she normally is.
- 44:27And she's like, yeah,
- 44:29like I'm laughing about it right now,
- 44:31but like, what does she say?
- 44:33She said like, but like, I can do it.
- 44:36Like I, like I can basically like
- 44:40you guys can make fun of me
- 44:41right now and I'll laugh about myself,
- 44:43but I got this.
- 44:44It's my superpower.
- 44:45And I was like, it's over.
- 44:47She just won the games again.
- 44:49She is so far ahead of
- 44:50everyone else that she's like,
- 44:53I can laugh at myself right now,
- 44:55but I know when I need to turn it on,
- 44:56all you bitches suck.
- 44:57All you girls are not in the same league.
- 45:01That's what I understood
- 45:02from her when she said that.
- 45:03I was like,
- 45:05Like that's the belief that
- 45:06she has in herself that she
- 45:08knows that if she wants to turn it on,
- 45:11she has it.
- 45:12At any point in the season,
- 45:14no matter what her shape is.
- 45:16She called it her superpower.
- 45:18Yeah, she called her superpower.
- 45:19I was like, damn.
- 45:21I was like, it's over.
- 45:24Like she's winning Torian right there.
- 45:27Tia's base level of fitness
- 45:28is miles above anyone else's.
- 45:30I think what it was is they
- 45:31were talking about Isabel
- 45:32and that her strength is down.
- 45:34And they first were talking
- 45:36about she could do it.
- 45:37And then they were like, well, but barely.
- 45:39And then she's like, come on.
- 45:42This is not going to be a problem.
- 45:44That's my superpower.
- 45:46I'm going to
- 45:48She's not just going to win.
- 45:50Barbell cycling is not an issue for her.
- 45:52If it was go do a one-rep max snatch,
- 45:56maybe.
- 45:57Maybe.
- 45:59I'd still contend within
- 46:01eight weeks she could get
- 46:02that to right at top five level.
- 46:06But even then, Torian,
- 46:07is it after the online qualifier?
- 46:10Yeah.
- 46:11So someone like, let's say,
- 46:12Maddie Sturt or like a –
- 46:15they're her top competition
- 46:16in that region for the Torian.
- 46:17Like they may already have
- 46:19their spot through the online portion.
- 46:21So like her chances are even
- 46:23higher at that point.
- 46:24Cause people have already
- 46:25gotten their spots.
- 46:26Right.
- 46:26Cause it's one of the last ones.
- 46:27I think Torian is one of the last ones,
- 46:29but it's like her big fitness is,
- 46:33is phenomenal.
- 46:34Like it's her, her snap death.
- 46:37Her snatch movement is incredible.
- 46:40Like one fifty five is not
- 46:43going to be an issue for her.
- 46:45It was just the fact that she was like,
- 46:46yeah,
- 46:47we're laughing about how weak I am
- 46:48right now, but you guys watch.
- 46:51You guys watch.
- 46:51I wasn't laughing.
- 46:52Basically, I'll be fine.
- 46:54And I was like,
- 46:57I don't know who doubted her.
- 46:58Yeah.
- 46:59I'm like, no, she can do whatever.
- 47:02She'll do what she needs to
- 47:03do to be in the shape that
- 47:05she needs to be for that competition.
- 47:08There's no way she enters
- 47:10any competition for fun
- 47:11besides the open that she
- 47:12just knew that it didn't matter.
- 47:14she does not enter an
- 47:15in-person competition if
- 47:17she doesn't think she can
- 47:18win it so she will be at
- 47:20the games and she will win
- 47:21there we go there you have
- 47:22it yep we're saying it um
- 47:29let me see here copa sir
- 47:30copa sir happened this
- 47:31weekend we don't need to
- 47:33spend a lot of time on this
- 47:35um leaderboard uh I'm
- 47:38having all kinds of
- 47:40problems with this website there we go
- 47:42So on the men's side,
- 47:43we have Henrique Moriera
- 47:46and Kaylin Souza.
- 47:49Souza with his second time back.
- 47:52I don't know Henrique Moriera.
- 47:55I think he's, has he been to the games?
- 47:56I don't think so.
- 47:58If he has, it's been on a team.
- 48:03And on the women's side,
- 48:05I guess he competed in the women's side.
- 48:07Maria Quintero and Luisa Marquez.
- 48:14Yeah.
- 48:15Has anyone commented on
- 48:17Castro's week in review from last week?
- 48:19Talking about the absolute
- 48:21top-thirty best in the
- 48:22world will be at the games this year?
- 48:26I talked about it this morning.
- 48:28Yeah, I heard you talk about it.
- 48:31I think that this is a
- 48:32crying shame that we're not
- 48:33going to get the
- 48:34thirty-best athletes to the games.
- 48:36The fact that you cut it to thirty,
- 48:38and then you let it play out like this,
- 48:40and you gave them two spots,
- 48:43and it was...
- 48:45re they they required their
- 48:47region man I I mean this is
- 48:51it's sad it was it was very
- 48:54inter I watched the whole
- 48:56weekend it was interesting
- 49:01I didn't get I didn't watch
- 49:02any of it this weekend I I
- 49:05did and it was really hard
- 49:06to watch and I really tried
- 49:09to watch the whole thing I
- 49:10didn't make it through all
- 49:11but I wanted to show this
- 49:13I'm going to blow this up
- 49:15I don't know who came up
- 49:16with this standard,
- 49:18but this is the legless rope climb.
- 49:21And then they had to descend
- 49:25the whole way to the bottom,
- 49:27but they could use their legs.
- 49:28It made the person look like
- 49:30they were afraid to fall.
- 49:33It just looked bad.
- 49:35So I'm going to go ahead and
- 49:36hit play on this and I'm
- 49:38going to mute it.
- 49:39Cause so you see them go up
- 49:42and then watch this descent.
- 49:50So it's legless on the,
- 49:51seated legless on the way
- 49:53up to that little black part?
- 49:55Yep,
- 49:55there was a women's tape line and a
- 49:57men's tape line.
- 49:58The women's tape line was not very far up,
- 50:00if I'm being quite honest.
- 50:03Like, right there was the women's.
- 50:05And then, and so the men went up to that.
- 50:07Maybe thirteen feet?
- 50:08Maybe, yeah.
- 50:09I mean, what I didn't,
- 50:11what I really didn't like was for the men,
- 50:13that bottom tape line was
- 50:16kind of low to the, like,
- 50:17you had some taller men at this comp,
- 50:19and it was,
- 50:20now they're strong enough that
- 50:22they were able to, like,
- 50:23tuck and get down and then
- 50:24sit themselves down, but, like,
- 50:27man,
- 50:28some of the women even got like kind
- 50:30of close to like crawling
- 50:32down in their butt almost hit first.
- 50:33Cause it was, it was a weird standard.
- 50:36I mean,
- 50:36I'm certain they did it because
- 50:38they knew for a fact people
- 50:39would not get through a
- 50:41legless descent and be able
- 50:44already people couldn't get
- 50:45through the total bar.
- 50:47Yeah.
- 50:48When I first saw that workout, um,
- 50:51Especially for the females.
- 50:52And it was like a hundred double unders,
- 50:54two seated, legless.
- 50:55What was it?
- 50:56Twenty five.
- 50:57Twenty five total bar.
- 50:58Toaster bars.
- 51:00Max.
- 51:00Within the four minute mark.
- 51:02And then it was max.
- 51:04Burpee box jump over.
- 51:05Burpee box jump overs.
- 51:06I'm like for multiple rounds.
- 51:09I was like,
- 51:10this is too advanced for for the females.
- 51:12Like for that group of females.
- 51:14For that for that field.
- 51:17like people struggle even
- 51:19some of the best
- 51:20competitors in our sport
- 51:21there's very few women that
- 51:23have the seated legless for
- 51:25many reps especially when
- 51:27it's paired with double
- 51:28unders and toaster bars
- 51:29that's grippy like I think
- 51:32that's we're still we're
- 51:34still pretty far behind for
- 51:35the legless for the females
- 51:36in comparison to to the men
- 51:38I think it's the one movement that we're
- 51:41really lagging behind
- 51:43there's a select few in our
- 51:44sport that are very very
- 51:46good but I'm talking about
- 51:48them the mass of like the
- 51:51semi-final athletes I
- 51:54looked at the work and I
- 51:54was like that'll be too too
- 51:57difficult especially for
- 51:58that region yeah it was it
- 52:00was not and you said that
- 52:02they were getting stuck
- 52:04Yeah, I mean, there were plenty of people.
- 52:07There was every event.
- 52:08There were people that
- 52:09couldn't advance down the floor.
- 52:13And that's what made it hard to watch.
- 52:15Right.
- 52:18It was very much like, like,
- 52:20twenty thirteen regionals
- 52:22where you get people there
- 52:23that couldn't lift the
- 52:24weight or couldn't do the.
- 52:27The muscle up or couldn't like.
- 52:30And you had people like way behind.
- 52:31It was very, very bizarre.
- 52:34Yeah,
- 52:34they really only should have had one.
- 52:36And if I'm being honest,
- 52:38I don't even know.
- 52:38I think they should have
- 52:40only gotten one and it
- 52:40should have been open to
- 52:41the whole world to go there
- 52:42and figure out who actually
- 52:44made it out of there.
- 52:47They had two lifts.
- 52:49Well, two heavy events.
- 52:50I mean, Isabel, they did.
- 52:51So I'm watching and they do
- 52:53the twenty twenty two complex,
- 52:56the three cleans, too.
- 52:57And I'm like, oh, so they're not.
- 52:59I was like,
- 52:59they're not doing heavy Isabel
- 53:00at this comp.
- 53:02sure enough the the next day
- 53:04they do or the final day
- 53:05they do have yes about and
- 53:06I'm like did they five or
- 53:08six events that they have
- 53:09they had six so six events
- 53:12and two of them had like a
- 53:15barbell dominant workout
- 53:16basically a max lift and
- 53:17then a barbell cycling and
- 53:18two workouts that were bike
- 53:20dependent and two echo yeah
- 53:22I did see that there's two
- 53:23echo bikes yeah yeah so you
- 53:25had I mean two two lifts
- 53:27and two high power like the
- 53:29bike is gonna although here
- 53:32because of the athletes here, it,
- 53:36the gymnastics mattered enough that it,
- 53:38the bar,
- 53:38that's the bar muscle up one bar
- 53:39muscle one.
- 53:40And then the other one with
- 53:41the echo bike was weighted
- 53:42pistol handstand walk with a pirouette.
- 53:45And it was a haves and have
- 53:46nots there too.
- 53:49Alin asked if Bruno, if Bruno did Bruno go,
- 53:52by the way, he withdrew.
- 53:55Yeah.
- 53:59And he's been dealing with
- 54:00it for a couple months.
- 54:01So that,
- 54:02so Lynn saying that Joanna
- 54:05Boaventura didn't even
- 54:08qualify for the age group,
- 54:10thirty five to thirty nine.
- 54:11But she was like top three
- 54:13or four in the I mean,
- 54:14that right there is a problem.
- 54:19If that that shocks me that
- 54:23she didn't even qualify for age group,
- 54:25but she was top three or
- 54:27four in this event.
- 54:29that's not good yeah not
- 54:39good so yeah all right so
- 54:41then uh age groups finished
- 54:42tonight um and what is cool
- 54:47is you guys both moved up um
- 54:54One of you is now,
- 54:57I'm trying to get there really fast.
- 55:00One of you is now the
- 55:02champion of their division.
- 55:05And so congratulations, Carolyn Prevost,
- 55:09winner of the thirty five
- 55:11to thirty nine year old
- 55:11semifinals and a pretty good,
- 55:15pretty good lead for thirty eight points.
- 55:19You only you only scored
- 55:21twenty two and you were
- 55:21ahead by thirty eight.
- 55:24That's pretty awesome.
- 55:28Uh, two first, a second,
- 55:30a sixth and a twelfth.
- 55:32Yeah.
- 55:33The, the strength event, Carolyn,
- 55:37your lowest score was a twelfth.
- 55:40That's awesome.
- 55:42Gotta get stronger.
- 55:45And then our very own Jamie
- 55:48Latimer moved up to sixth place.
- 55:51Um,
- 55:54two thirds and a seventh, fifteenth,
- 55:57and then that heavy Isabel.
- 56:00Yeah.
- 56:03So at least your strength is
- 56:05as bad as my strength, Carolyn.
- 56:08That one killed me.
- 56:12Um, so yeah, like for you,
- 56:14like if you're in person
- 56:15and that's one score out of, you know,
- 56:18nine, like you're, you're,
- 56:20you're up there, right?
- 56:20Like you're, you're, you're podium.
- 56:26Yeah.
- 56:27One out of five,
- 56:28it hurts you because that's
- 56:29twenty percent.
- 56:32Your scores are right with
- 56:33Pinero and Cummins.
- 56:35They're just their worst
- 56:36wasn't quite as bad.
- 56:37Right.
- 56:43So are you the youngest?
- 56:45Like,
- 56:45are you you just you were in that
- 56:47division last year?
- 56:48I was in the second second year.
- 56:57uh netze milano says
- 56:59congrats lynn says congrats
- 57:02carolyn and jamie girl
- 57:03you're a weight monster
- 57:07thanks lynn thanks netze
- 57:10that's the thing that's
- 57:11hard to keep with um with
- 57:13aging is the strength
- 57:15especially like technical
- 57:17strength can stay a little
- 57:18bit longer raw strength is
- 57:20is more difficult I find with
- 57:23aging and I'm still young,
- 57:26but I still notice differences.
- 57:27Like some of the numbers
- 57:28that I was able to hit when I was thirty.
- 57:31I'm like, damn,
- 57:33I haven't seen those
- 57:33numbers for that many reps anymore.
- 57:35Like it's.
- 57:38It's weird because for like me,
- 57:39I was I actually got
- 57:40stronger the older I got.
- 57:42Yeah.
- 57:43I mean,
- 57:43I'm still PR and I just PR my three
- 57:45rep deadlift last week.
- 57:47Maybe if I focused more like
- 57:49specifically on it, I could go.
- 57:51but other other things have
- 57:53deteriorated so there um
- 57:59Lana congratulations ladies
- 58:01well done where'd Lana
- 58:04finish uh I don't know I
- 58:09need to look Jimbo finished or sad
- 58:20It'll be interesting to see
- 58:22how many people will travel.
- 58:25Yeah.
- 58:26To go to the game.
- 58:27When I finish the thirtieth.
- 58:29Oh, so like right there in gym.
- 58:32Did you find last year that
- 58:33most people that did the online qualifier,
- 58:36mostly everyone continued
- 58:37on to the games part?
- 58:38Or I guess I didn't look at
- 58:40the – like was the –
- 58:43basically everyone accepted?
- 58:44I was surprised how many did.
- 58:46Yeah, I want to say only like –
- 58:49Three, two or three got backfills.
- 58:51Cool.
- 58:57Lana fought so hard for seventy plus.
- 58:58Now she needs to fight for
- 58:59seventy five plus.
- 59:05Yeah,
- 59:06I was surprised last year how many
- 59:07people went.
- 59:08Yeah.
- 59:10Which was really cool to see.
- 59:11And like Lynn says,
- 59:13all the different flags in age group.
- 59:18they just haven't really
- 59:18released much information
- 59:20on um yes do our do we
- 59:25compete friday saturday
- 59:27sunday is it yeah is it a
- 59:28three day what's the prize
- 59:30money what's I guess what
- 59:33are what are we what are we
- 59:34expecting I they need to
- 59:36release some things
- 59:38sooner rather than later
- 59:39because they had the
- 59:40breakdowns for everything
- 59:41else in the rule book
- 59:44except for the masters it
- 59:45was like at a later date um
- 59:47which is kind of like
- 59:50worrisome agree I mean we
- 59:54should know the base right
- 59:55we should figure that out oh like yeah
- 1:00:00Like you could look at how
- 1:00:01many people signed up.
- 1:00:02You could figure out the percentage.
- 1:00:04And then it's just trying to
- 1:00:05figure out how the
- 1:00:08breakdown is going to be.
- 1:00:09Right.
- 1:00:11It says Thursday through Sunday.
- 1:00:13It does.
- 1:00:13It says twenty one through twenty four.
- 1:00:15But I swear it said
- 1:00:18somewhere that we were competing Friday,
- 1:00:22Saturday, Sunday.
- 1:00:24Like I kind of wonder
- 1:00:25because they're doing this team thing.
- 1:00:27Do the team start on Thursday?
- 1:00:30we don't start till friday
- 1:00:32so that if you remember
- 1:00:33last year in birmingham
- 1:00:34they the only thing on when
- 1:00:36on wednesday they did
- 1:00:38everybody check in then
- 1:00:41thursday they started the
- 1:00:42events right and it was
- 1:00:45everybody not just teams or
- 1:00:47I know but I swear I saw
- 1:00:49something that I feel like
- 1:00:50with that many divisions
- 1:00:51they'll start on thursday
- 1:00:53but I would like a
- 1:00:54confirmation I would like a
- 1:00:55conversation too
- 1:00:58Maybe in the accepting email,
- 1:01:00there'll be some additional information,
- 1:01:03I hope.
- 1:01:03Because wasn't it like two, three, three,
- 1:01:06two?
- 1:01:08One.
- 1:01:08They ended up only doing one on Sunday.
- 1:01:10It was supposed to be.
- 1:01:12Two, three, three, one.
- 1:01:13Which would have benefited
- 1:01:14me because they would have
- 1:01:15done that front squat on Sunday.
- 1:01:18That's what it was supposed to be,
- 1:01:19front squat and final with the cut field.
- 1:01:24And they didn't do that.
- 1:01:26Wouldn't that be worse
- 1:01:27because then the front
- 1:01:28squad is worth more points
- 1:01:29because the field is less?
- 1:01:30No, it wasn't.
- 1:01:31That's the thing.
- 1:01:34They didn't adjust the scoreboard.
- 1:01:36No, they just only had twenty scores.
- 1:01:37So if you got twenty, if you got... Okay,
- 1:01:39so then that's better.
- 1:01:40Because I was going to say,
- 1:01:41if they readjust and all of
- 1:01:42a sudden the field comes down,
- 1:01:45normally the workouts are
- 1:01:48worth more points when the field is down.
- 1:01:51Nicole Sherman spectators
- 1:01:53want kind of confirmation too.
- 1:01:54I need to order a party bus.
- 1:01:56That's why I'm asking.
- 1:01:57I'm hoping people will come out and call,
- 1:02:00get some confirmation one
- 1:02:02way or the other.
- 1:02:03What's happening here.
- 1:02:05I just need an Uber.
- 1:02:07I know.
- 1:02:11But, uh,
- 1:02:13Denise is throwing out what she would do.
- 1:02:16Uh, younger.
- 1:02:17That makes sense.
- 1:02:21I hate that it's just one on Sunday.
- 1:02:23I do too.
- 1:02:24Because when you hear athletes,
- 1:02:27and I think it was Rich,
- 1:02:28it was Darren that said this.
- 1:02:31Like when you have a Sunday
- 1:02:32with a couple events,
- 1:02:34then the people that have
- 1:02:37the capacity and the engine,
- 1:02:39that's a way to test it
- 1:02:41without an individual event being tested.
- 1:02:43Yeah.
- 1:02:44Yeah.
- 1:02:44is how do they perform on
- 1:02:45that last day and give them
- 1:02:48a couple workouts?
- 1:02:49And I really liked when he said that.
- 1:02:52And you lose that at this.
- 1:02:55And sometimes the
- 1:02:57leaderboard is almost set
- 1:02:59if it's just one workout left.
- 1:03:01Some people may already have
- 1:03:02it almost in the bag at that point.
- 1:03:04You want to have some room
- 1:03:06for some jockeying of
- 1:03:08positions on that last day.
- 1:03:13Denise says masters need to
- 1:03:14get back to work.
- 1:03:15Yeah, but masters have the most PTO.
- 1:03:19I mean, I, this was,
- 1:03:20that was like a change last
- 1:03:22minute last year.
- 1:03:23I had our hotel room booked
- 1:03:25for that Sunday night.
- 1:03:26I was not, and we had Monday,
- 1:03:28Aaron had Monday off.
- 1:03:28Like we had planned travel
- 1:03:30day and we ended up leaving.
- 1:03:32Cause they changed that last
- 1:03:33minute and we were out of
- 1:03:34there five hours,
- 1:03:36four or five hours earlier
- 1:03:37than I had expected to be.
- 1:03:38Yeah.
- 1:03:38Julie and I hit the road that day too.
- 1:03:40Cause why sit here all day?
- 1:03:42Yeah.
- 1:03:44went to tap golf had some
- 1:03:46drinks played some golf
- 1:03:47still left it was it it was
- 1:03:49dumb I would rather been
- 1:03:51still competing I needed
- 1:03:52more workouts that's it um
- 1:03:58actually jamie's lying she
- 1:03:59was outside the bathroom
- 1:04:00hoping that one of the drug
- 1:04:02tests came back quick
- 1:04:10um so yeah well
- 1:04:13congratulations ladies for
- 1:04:15that you guys are awesome I
- 1:04:18have to pinch myself that I
- 1:04:19get to host a show with you
- 1:04:21guys um gabby magawa
- 1:04:25announced that she had a
- 1:04:27failed surgery and that the
- 1:04:29the achilles ruptured again
- 1:04:32so she had to have a second
- 1:04:33surgery it's not clear
- 1:04:37Like what I'd like to,
- 1:04:39and she'll never tell us,
- 1:04:40but did she overwork the
- 1:04:42Achilles trying to get back or did it,
- 1:04:45was it just a failed
- 1:04:46surgery that it didn't hold?
- 1:04:49Cause it can be one or the other.
- 1:04:50I mean, that is possible.
- 1:04:53I have heard of like this,
- 1:04:55like the stitch didn't take
- 1:04:57and they had to go back in and redo it.
- 1:04:58don't you think you'd know that sooner?
- 1:05:00I mean, she was doing like workouts on it.
- 1:05:03Like we saw some of her
- 1:05:04training in January and February.
- 1:05:07And I, like,
- 1:05:07I was kind of surprised at
- 1:05:08what all she was doing already.
- 1:05:09Yeah.
- 1:05:11Yeah.
- 1:05:11That's what,
- 1:05:12that's the same questions that
- 1:05:14I had as well.
- 1:05:15I was like, did it just not take, like,
- 1:05:16I was trying to Google like,
- 1:05:17what does it mean?
- 1:05:18Failed surgery?
- 1:05:19Like, um, or is,
- 1:05:22was it just a re rupture of
- 1:05:24coming back too soon?
- 1:05:25Trying to do things.
- 1:05:27Um,
- 1:05:28And I know I always use
- 1:05:29Chelsea Nicholas as an
- 1:05:30example because when we
- 1:05:33were covering the games,
- 1:05:34she was winning the thirty
- 1:05:36five to thirty nine year
- 1:05:36old when hers went.
- 1:05:37And that was twenty three.
- 1:05:42And I followed her journey
- 1:05:43back because we became
- 1:05:45friends after that.
- 1:05:46And and she actually took
- 1:05:49the twenty four year off
- 1:05:51because the doctor told her
- 1:05:53it will not be full
- 1:05:54strength for eighteen months,
- 1:05:56no matter what you do.
- 1:05:59that's the only gear that
- 1:06:00was the only guaranteed
- 1:06:01time where it'll be full
- 1:06:02strength so she actually
- 1:06:03took off to do that I saw
- 1:06:06her on the leaderboard for
- 1:06:07this year uh but not quite
- 1:06:10back to where she was um a
- 1:06:13couple years ago but um and
- 1:06:16so you've got to be really
- 1:06:18careful especially in the
- 1:06:19first few months because
- 1:06:21what we're talking five six months
- 1:06:24She was like November.
- 1:06:26It, it tore again in February.
- 1:06:28And I'm telling you by January,
- 1:06:30like two months in, we were seeing things,
- 1:06:33her doing things that I was like, Ooh.
- 1:06:34Yeah.
- 1:06:38I just don't know enough
- 1:06:39about the rehab process to
- 1:06:41know whether like some of
- 1:06:44the things that we were
- 1:06:44seeing where there's two advanced or not.
- 1:06:48But it's just sad.
- 1:06:50Right.
- 1:06:50Just,
- 1:06:51you feel for her.
- 1:06:52Cause like you want,
- 1:06:54you want the best to be
- 1:06:55competing in the sport.
- 1:06:57And, you know,
- 1:06:58she was having a phenomenal year, uh,
- 1:07:01looked amazing at rogue
- 1:07:02invitational before the incident.
- 1:07:05And, you know,
- 1:07:06you're just rooting for her to come back.
- 1:07:08And it's, it's just sad.
- 1:07:10Cause you're just, yeah,
- 1:07:12just sad for her injury.
- 1:07:16Sarah, Sarah told us about her stitch,
- 1:07:18not holding.
- 1:07:21I who's sarah sarah who
- 1:07:24sarah cooper sarah
- 1:07:28sigmund's daughter sarah um
- 1:07:33are they good friends and
- 1:07:34then she says heinrich is
- 1:07:35doing good though that's
- 1:07:37good I haven't followed his
- 1:07:40journey I haven't seen any
- 1:07:42sarah sigmund's
- 1:07:47I didn't know they were even close.
- 1:07:50Yeah, I'm confused.
- 1:07:50Okay.
- 1:07:51I think that was Sarah's
- 1:07:57injury that that happened.
- 1:08:02Yeah.
- 1:08:02I actually worked with a
- 1:08:03lady who... I think Sarah's
- 1:08:06ACL didn't hold.
- 1:08:10If I remember one of her YouTube videos.
- 1:08:13I think that's what Lynn's talking about.
- 1:08:17Do we want to talk about the
- 1:08:18WFP tour events or do we,
- 1:08:20we're already over an hour.
- 1:08:22So I wanted to make sure
- 1:08:23that we had time for the
- 1:08:26last couple of things.
- 1:08:27I was just surprised for the
- 1:08:29WFP that the challengers
- 1:08:30had different weights.
- 1:08:30Cause I would have liked to
- 1:08:32have been able to compare
- 1:08:33and maybe they did that.
- 1:08:34Obviously they did that
- 1:08:35purposefully so that people
- 1:08:36couldn't compare.
- 1:08:38Yeah.
- 1:08:38But it would have been,
- 1:08:39it would have been nice to see.
- 1:08:42the cross comparison of the
- 1:08:43two regions and see if
- 1:08:45certain athletes at the top
- 1:08:47of the challenge or where they would have,
- 1:08:48um, stacked up.
- 1:08:50Right.
- 1:08:51I think it, I think it's a bad move.
- 1:08:54I do too.
- 1:08:55Um, more than just comparison,
- 1:08:58you are competing for the
- 1:09:00same spots in the finals, trying to earn,
- 1:09:04even though they're lesser points,
- 1:09:05they all matter towards that final.
- 1:09:08And to be doing a different
- 1:09:09workout to earn your points is,
- 1:09:13does not seem fair or proper when you're,
- 1:09:17when you're trying to make it to Belgium,
- 1:09:19uh,
- 1:09:20against all these other people doing a
- 1:09:21different workout.
- 1:09:23Right.
- 1:09:23Like the a hundred meters.
- 1:09:26Right.
- 1:09:27I mean, you can say that, but yeah, no,
- 1:09:31that's yeah.
- 1:09:31It's a, you want,
- 1:09:33if you're fighting for the same pro card,
- 1:09:35you should be doing the
- 1:09:36same workouts to compare.
- 1:09:37Right.
- 1:09:38For sure.
- 1:09:38Absolutely.
- 1:09:40And so here are the workouts.
- 1:09:46See, I wish that there was no videos.
- 1:09:47It was just the I know I
- 1:09:49hate when they do these reels like this.
- 1:09:53Who someone else brought
- 1:09:54this up there like their
- 1:09:55media team needs to learn
- 1:09:56how to just put the workout
- 1:09:58so that people can just
- 1:09:59screenshot it or Yep.
- 1:10:03So I think it would be on
- 1:10:08competition corner.
- 1:10:11Maybe on competition corner,
- 1:10:12if you go to World Fitness.
- 1:10:18Oh, right here it is.
- 1:10:19Yeah, that's it.
- 1:10:22So there it is.
- 1:10:26There we go.
- 1:10:27So pro one, five rounds for time,
- 1:10:29six hundred meter run, six ring muscle up,
- 1:10:31six snatches.
- 1:10:33And pro is seventy five and
- 1:10:35fifty two kilograms.
- 1:10:36Challenger is sixty six and forty five.
- 1:10:39See, that just,
- 1:10:41if you're all fighting for
- 1:10:42the same spot and the same
- 1:10:43pro card and a spot in Copenhagen,
- 1:10:48then you should be doing
- 1:10:49the same workouts.
- 1:10:51Yeah, I agree.
- 1:10:52How do we feel about the
- 1:10:53early release of the workouts?
- 1:10:56I'm cool with it.
- 1:10:57I don't really know.
- 1:11:00It's what, three,
- 1:11:01is it three weeks in advance?
- 1:11:02One.
- 1:11:02Something like that, three?
- 1:11:05Yeah, three.
- 1:11:06Six.
- 1:11:06Three.
- 1:11:06All right.
- 1:11:09No, it's three weeks away.
- 1:11:11Oh, three weeks away.
- 1:11:12Yeah.
- 1:11:12Sorry.
- 1:11:15Pro two is eight, six, four,
- 1:11:16two sandbag cleans, a thirty GHD setups,
- 1:11:20thirty meter handstand walk.
- 1:11:23Time cap, ten minutes.
- 1:11:24I like it.
- 1:11:30Pro three, eight pull up,
- 1:11:32six chest to bar pull ups,
- 1:11:33four bar muscle ups and then eight, six,
- 1:11:36four front squat.
- 1:11:38This one,
- 1:11:39they just didn't write the weights,
- 1:11:40right?
- 1:11:40Yeah, what is the weight?
- 1:11:42Doesn't write it.
- 1:11:44Because I love this workout,
- 1:11:45if it's not super heavy.
- 1:11:48I get why you love it,
- 1:11:49but haven't we seen this a
- 1:11:50couple times already?
- 1:11:51Yes.
- 1:11:54This is, I think,
- 1:11:54the third time we've seen it this season.
- 1:11:57Eh.
- 1:11:57A variation of it.
- 1:12:00This season?
- 1:12:03Nah.
- 1:12:04I mean, the open workout had thrusters,
- 1:12:07and it was...
- 1:12:09The other workouts just did it.
- 1:12:10Pull-ups one round,
- 1:12:12chest bar the next round,
- 1:12:14bar muscle-ups the last round.
- 1:12:16This is just putting them
- 1:12:17all in the same round over
- 1:12:18and over again.
- 1:12:20So I think it's very similar.
- 1:12:22I kind of like that.
- 1:12:24It's a different way to test
- 1:12:25that gymnastics endurance,
- 1:12:28not just get through these chunks.
- 1:12:33I like this.
- 1:12:35Pro for A and B, part A,
- 1:12:37one rep max jerk in eight minutes.
- 1:12:40And then part B for time, echo bike,
- 1:12:43echo bike, sled push after each round.
- 1:12:47And these are two one hundred points,
- 1:12:49right?
- 1:12:52Again,
- 1:12:52it doesn't really say on the thing
- 1:12:55you'd have to.
- 1:12:56I would assume so.
- 1:13:04and then pro five one
- 1:13:08legless rope climb one rope
- 1:13:09climb fifteen meter yoke
- 1:13:10carry cool hopefully they
- 1:13:14don't make you descend like
- 1:13:15they did in copa sir what
- 1:13:16is it ten rounds for time
- 1:13:18yeah ten rounds for time
- 1:13:19that's a lot of rope climbs
- 1:13:22I mean,
- 1:13:22we saw people failing at the ten
- 1:13:24rope climbs.
- 1:13:25I know.
- 1:13:26Just the sprint.
- 1:13:27I just think this is a
- 1:13:28different workout for the
- 1:13:29females as males.
- 1:13:30Like as soon as you have the
- 1:13:31same amount of legless and
- 1:13:33rope climbs as guys that
- 1:13:34can jump into three poles
- 1:13:36and three poles for their legless,
- 1:13:39four if they got to reach a
- 1:13:40little bit more.
- 1:13:43And same with their rope
- 1:13:43climbs where they're like one and a half.
- 1:13:47It's a different workout for
- 1:13:48the guys as girls.
- 1:13:50Yep.
- 1:13:53then pro six uh forty
- 1:13:54calorie row thirty burpee
- 1:13:56over block twenty dumbbell
- 1:13:57thrusters fifteen meter
- 1:13:59double dumbbell overhead
- 1:14:00walking lunge yuck nice
- 1:14:05little sprint to finish I
- 1:14:06like that gross I don't
- 1:14:13know how I feel about the
- 1:14:14one rep max jerk yeah I think that's a
- 1:14:21I don't know how I feel about that one.
- 1:14:24The rest of the workouts I like.
- 1:14:25I think that they're... Is it from a rig?
- 1:14:29That I don't know.
- 1:14:32We do not believe in equality.
- 1:14:34Stop it.
- 1:14:35Get out of here with that nonsense.
- 1:14:37Well,
- 1:14:37we only believe in equality for men
- 1:14:39and women together doing the rope climbs,
- 1:14:41but we don't believe in
- 1:14:42equality from the pro
- 1:14:43division and the challenger division.
- 1:14:46So you got to pick where you
- 1:14:48get your equality.
- 1:14:49Challengers are not equal.
- 1:14:54Is that seven scored events then?
- 1:14:56Yeah.
- 1:14:58Yeah.
- 1:14:58Is it three days?
- 1:15:02Is it Friday, Saturday, Sunday?
- 1:15:04I believe so.
- 1:15:06So two, two, two.
- 1:15:07Cause one of them was just a double.
- 1:15:08Yeah.
- 1:15:09Okay.
- 1:15:09Two workouts a day.
- 1:15:10Yeah.
- 1:15:11I like it.
- 1:15:11It's fun.
- 1:15:16I was surprised to not see
- 1:15:16any handstand pushups
- 1:15:17because Will's so good at
- 1:15:19handstand pushups.
- 1:15:19I was too.
- 1:15:21That's one movement I was
- 1:15:22surprised to not see
- 1:15:22because I feel like he
- 1:15:23would have a bias towards that,
- 1:15:25but he hasn't shown a bias
- 1:15:28so far towards it.
- 1:15:29So you got Dex saying he loves the jerk.
- 1:15:32Carolyn,
- 1:15:32didn't I hear you say you didn't
- 1:15:33like the jerk as a test?
- 1:15:36I said I didn't like it.
- 1:15:39I don't like it.
- 1:15:41Okay.
- 1:15:42Yeah, I don't love it, but
- 1:15:45I think it's like I don't
- 1:15:48know I think that it's a
- 1:15:51movement hmm yeah it's
- 1:15:56different but it's uh I
- 1:15:59don't know what the word is
- 1:16:00that I'm looking for I
- 1:16:02can't think of the word but yeah well
- 1:16:09anything that I think I'm good at,
- 1:16:10like I think shouldn't be a
- 1:16:12test of fitness.
- 1:16:12Cause like, I,
- 1:16:13I am not good at the fitness stuff.
- 1:16:16Like I'm good at pushing a
- 1:16:18barbell over my head,
- 1:16:20but that doesn't mean I'm fit.
- 1:16:22Like, well, Dex said,
- 1:16:25it reminds me of the overhead squad,
- 1:16:27over head squats,
- 1:16:28a different would be a
- 1:16:29better test than the jerk.
- 1:16:30Right.
- 1:16:30Way better to me.
- 1:16:32It's a lot of technique.
- 1:16:34Yeah.
- 1:16:34The mobility required there.
- 1:16:38I think that's a better test
- 1:16:39of strength and mobility and accuracy.
- 1:16:46CrossFit says jerk store called.
- 1:16:48They're all out of you.
- 1:16:49Love the Seinfeld reference, man.
- 1:16:56It's like if they had a one
- 1:16:57rep max back squat,
- 1:16:58I would say that's probably
- 1:16:59not a good test because I'm good at it.
- 1:17:03Just saying.
- 1:17:06sarah says this is supposed
- 1:17:07to be a showcase though not
- 1:17:08necessarily a well-rounded
- 1:17:09test is it though like
- 1:17:11isn't this supposed to be
- 1:17:12well-rounded to get the
- 1:17:14best people to the third
- 1:17:18tour yeah there's money on
- 1:17:21the line for next season
- 1:17:22for a lot of people they
- 1:17:24get this like I don't I
- 1:17:26mean you can call it
- 1:17:27whatever you want but it
- 1:17:29should be a well-rounded test
- 1:17:32Again,
- 1:17:33go watch full swing and those guys
- 1:17:35and what they made from live.
- 1:17:38They, it was not a showcase.
- 1:17:40They were there for the money.
- 1:17:41Right.
- 1:17:43I haven't done a,
- 1:17:44like a deep dive into all
- 1:17:46the workouts and all the
- 1:17:47movement patterns and stuff, but like,
- 1:17:48just like quick surface
- 1:17:50level of the workouts.
- 1:17:51They look good.
- 1:17:53A deck says, a deck says, I'd like that.
- 1:17:55Me too.
- 1:18:05Sarah says, I don't really,
- 1:18:07I don't think anyone really
- 1:18:08knows what it's supposed to be.
- 1:18:10Well, that's a bit of a problem.
- 1:18:13Yeah.
- 1:18:14But it can be whatever it wants to be.
- 1:18:16I mean,
- 1:18:16they're putting the money up and
- 1:18:17people are coming to get the money.
- 1:18:18So.
- 1:18:20But they say they're trying
- 1:18:21to find the fittest.
- 1:18:22I feel like, like they're trying to get.
- 1:18:23I don't think they ever said it.
- 1:18:25Well,
- 1:18:26what are you vying for a pro card for?
- 1:18:29Like.
- 1:18:31to win that tournament.
- 1:18:32I think it's more about
- 1:18:33they're holding a
- 1:18:34competition and you're there to win it.
- 1:18:38Just like golf or tennis or, you know,
- 1:18:42like tennis isn't saying
- 1:18:43we're trying to find the
- 1:18:44fittest tennis player or the,
- 1:18:46but that's not their sport, right?
- 1:18:48They're just, whoever wins that week.
- 1:18:53But I think that's,
- 1:18:55I think tennis is like a different sport.
- 1:18:57Ours is the sport of fitness.
- 1:19:00that's what it is,
- 1:19:02but the project can be
- 1:19:03whatever it wants to be.
- 1:19:05That's true.
- 1:19:07I saw that, but I think it's a good test.
- 1:19:09Like, I don't,
- 1:19:10I don't think it's not a
- 1:19:11good test of fitness.
- 1:19:13It's a good set.
- 1:19:14It looks like a good set of workouts.
- 1:19:16Yeah.
- 1:19:16That's a good set of workouts.
- 1:19:17I think the, like,
- 1:19:18I think the fitter athletes will.
- 1:19:20Oh, for sure.
- 1:19:21Go to the top.
- 1:19:22Like what those mess they got.
- 1:19:23And at least there's seven
- 1:19:24scored events and in a weekend, like,
- 1:19:26I think that's a good number.
- 1:19:27Right.
- 1:19:34One, Lynn,
- 1:19:35we are being very sarcastic when
- 1:19:36we talk softball.
- 1:19:37It's never going to happen again.
- 1:19:45I did want to give some kudos to WFP.
- 1:19:48I talked about it a little
- 1:19:49bit on my lunch show last week,
- 1:19:51but the video they put out
- 1:19:54on Laura Horvat is one of
- 1:19:56the best videos that's been
- 1:19:58out in the space in a very long time.
- 1:20:01And I truly believe it's
- 1:20:02that because of the copyright issues,
- 1:20:04the buttery bros had to
- 1:20:06change the way they did the video.
- 1:20:08And they went back to the
- 1:20:09old school storytelling and
- 1:20:12not just the slow motion workout videos.
- 1:20:16Uh,
- 1:20:16because they couldn't use that games
- 1:20:18footage.
- 1:20:18They couldn't use regional
- 1:20:20footage or they couldn't
- 1:20:21use semifinal footage.
- 1:20:22They had to just get her
- 1:20:23story and it was awesome.
- 1:20:26And they should be awesome.
- 1:20:28I know that looks so cool.
- 1:20:33Yeah, that was a great great.
- 1:20:36Twenty minutes.
- 1:20:36If you have twenty minutes of your time,
- 1:20:38like that's a great documentary on her.
- 1:20:41And then they were the next
- 1:20:43athletes that they had on
- 1:20:44there was Trista Smith and Nick Matthews.
- 1:20:48So it looks like they're
- 1:20:49also going to be featuring
- 1:20:50some of the challengers,
- 1:20:52which was also cool.
- 1:20:53I like that.
- 1:20:55Yeah,
- 1:20:55but the challenger docs only be
- 1:20:56eighty percent of the
- 1:20:58length of the the pro documentaries.
- 1:21:06So a T bird says they
- 1:21:09released Jeff's again.
- 1:21:12I have to go check it out.
- 1:21:12Cause I missed it the first
- 1:21:13time it got pulled before I
- 1:21:14got a chance to see it.
- 1:21:18So, uh, very cool.
- 1:21:23They are doing some good things, uh,
- 1:21:25at WFP.
- 1:21:26And I don't want that lost
- 1:21:28with all the hate that's
- 1:21:29going out that way.
- 1:21:31Um,
- 1:21:33do think they're doing some
- 1:21:34good things and I I'm not
- 1:21:36I'm not going to be able to
- 1:21:37go to the first tour event
- 1:21:38which bums me out uh
- 1:21:40because I I just am too
- 1:21:41busy the next couple weeks
- 1:21:43and I need that weekend off
- 1:21:44or I'm gonna combust um but
- 1:21:49I'm I'll be watching on the
- 1:21:51stream for sure and heck
- 1:21:53they got a great uh booth
- 1:21:56uh it'll be interesting to
- 1:21:57see how that goes how's that uh team side
- 1:22:03community part filling up.
- 1:22:04Not great, right?
- 1:22:06Some of the divisions are almost full,
- 1:22:09but as you get to some of
- 1:22:10the other divisions,
- 1:22:11it's pretty empty still.
- 1:22:15It'll just be interesting
- 1:22:16for the views with another
- 1:22:17semifinal happening at the same time.
- 1:22:19Like when you're doing your first event,
- 1:22:22you want to make sure all
- 1:22:23eyes are there and to have
- 1:22:26it at the same time as a
- 1:22:29qualifier for the game season,
- 1:22:31it's going to be taking
- 1:22:32away views for sure.
- 1:22:35Like having it's the French throw down.
- 1:22:37That's at the same time.
- 1:22:40Yep.
- 1:22:41Like the views are getting
- 1:22:42split for both of them.
- 1:22:47Because the field is going
- 1:22:49to be better at the WFP
- 1:22:52than the French throwdown.
- 1:22:54So you would think that more
- 1:22:57eyes will be there.
- 1:22:58But then again,
- 1:22:59people are all interested
- 1:23:00in the game season and who
- 1:23:01are getting those spots.
- 1:23:02So you're still going to get
- 1:23:05the CrossFit fans watching
- 1:23:09the French throwdown.
- 1:23:11I think you'll get a lot of
- 1:23:12curiosity for the WFP.
- 1:23:14People want to see what it is.
- 1:23:18It's like the XFL got a huge
- 1:23:20number the first weekend they went live,
- 1:23:25and then it kind of faded after that.
- 1:23:28jenny asked who's going for
- 1:23:29you I saw you on the media
- 1:23:30docu sign I did sign up I
- 1:23:32did get approved but my
- 1:23:35wife is having total knee
- 1:23:36construction reconstruction
- 1:23:38on tuesday of that week and
- 1:23:41I I really have to be with
- 1:23:42her that weekend so I'm
- 1:23:46still considering it okay
- 1:23:49I'm trying to figure out
- 1:23:50this team aspect of it.
- 1:23:52Cause I feel like Haley
- 1:23:53wants to possibly compete.
- 1:23:55So I don't know.
- 1:23:56I don't know if that we need
- 1:23:57to find two dudes.
- 1:23:59So I need to fit dudes.
- 1:24:03Yeah.
- 1:24:05So, but I, I know it's a bummer Jenny,
- 1:24:08but I am going to be at, I big, I said,
- 1:24:11because I'm missing that
- 1:24:12I'm definitely going to syndicate crown.
- 1:24:14So I'm going to be at
- 1:24:15syndicate crown for sure.
- 1:24:18Um,
- 1:24:21So that should be good.
- 1:24:23I'll meet you there.
- 1:24:24Okay.
- 1:24:31Lastly, WADLAND is this weekend.
- 1:24:40This is the group that let
- 1:24:41in the AD participants.
- 1:24:43Damn.
- 1:24:45Her.
- 1:24:46And you get an invite.
- 1:24:48And you get an invite.
- 1:24:49And you get an invite.
- 1:24:52After this weekend with Kopiser,
- 1:24:53I don't know if I can do
- 1:24:55all the heats of Wadland.
- 1:24:58How many people do you think
- 1:24:59are going to be in a heat?
- 1:25:00Like, twenty?
- 1:25:01Do you think they have the
- 1:25:02equipment for twenty?
- 1:25:03I mean... Four heats?
- 1:25:06I love the age groups.
- 1:25:08And last year it was four heats,
- 1:25:10or even two heats,
- 1:25:12but just repeated all day long.
- 1:25:14Like, that gets rough.
- 1:25:17if they do eight heats per,
- 1:25:20sixteen heats per event,
- 1:25:22I think I will stab my eyes out.
- 1:25:29So, yeah, I don't know.
- 1:25:31But you saw the workouts
- 1:25:32that went out this weekend.
- 1:25:34You had thoughts on those?
- 1:25:35I can try to pull them up
- 1:25:38real quick as you're doing some thoughts.
- 1:25:40I forgot what they were.
- 1:25:48It's so funny.
- 1:25:48Cause we talked during the
- 1:25:49week and then it's trying
- 1:25:51to remember it all when we get here too.
- 1:25:53Well,
- 1:25:53there's a lot of the workouts that
- 1:25:56like a lookalike look a lot alike.
- 1:25:59And I'm not sure from which comp sometimes,
- 1:26:01uh, this is the one that had,
- 1:26:04I remember the Ryan, is it with, no,
- 1:26:08the thruster was copious.
- 1:26:09Sir.
- 1:26:09This one is a run with the sandbag squats.
- 1:26:12I like that one.
- 1:26:12I think that's a, that, that one's good.
- 1:26:16Um,
- 1:26:20They're all in line at one point.
- 1:26:22Test one,
- 1:26:24sandbag squats and a hundred run.
- 1:26:25Yeah.
- 1:26:26Just like.
- 1:26:27Mayhem.
- 1:26:28Yep.
- 1:26:29No burpee though.
- 1:26:31Yeah.
- 1:26:31No burpee.
- 1:26:32Heavier squats with the sandbag.
- 1:26:34Yeah.
- 1:26:34These, this looks nasty.
- 1:26:36Yeah.
- 1:26:36That's going to be a tough one.
- 1:26:39Less squats, but heavier.
- 1:26:41That's a lot of garments to hang out,
- 1:26:42hand out for the eight hundred meter run.
- 1:26:44A hundred and sixty garments.
- 1:26:46Oh yeah.
- 1:26:46This one.
- 1:26:47I don't like this one.
- 1:26:50I don't like that the score
- 1:26:52is a max heavy rope double under.
- 1:26:56I think for the men,
- 1:26:57they're just racing those
- 1:26:58two legless and the little
- 1:26:59handstand walks that are easy.
- 1:27:00And then it's just double
- 1:27:02unders being counted as the score.
- 1:27:03I don't know.
- 1:27:04I think it could have a
- 1:27:05different movement as a score there.
- 1:27:07I don't love that.
- 1:27:08Yeah.
- 1:27:13I think it's a good training one.
- 1:27:14I don't know if it's a good test,
- 1:27:16if that makes sense.
- 1:27:16I agree with that.
- 1:27:19Test three?
- 1:27:21That's the Mayhem one.
- 1:27:21They have the assault bike.
- 1:27:23Yep.
- 1:27:25I like this better as a test three.
- 1:27:26I think as a finale,
- 1:27:28not seeing the cows on the
- 1:27:30bike is just meh.
- 1:27:33I like the event for Mayhem,
- 1:27:35but I just didn't like it as a finale.
- 1:27:38It's the same thing.
- 1:27:38I think this is a better
- 1:27:39test as a test three.
- 1:27:43Nothing.
- 1:27:45Test for clean and jerk complex.
- 1:27:48So this, this one doesn't have the Isabel,
- 1:27:51but this is, you go clean, you go jerk,
- 1:27:54go back to the shoulder,
- 1:27:56back to the clean position,
- 1:27:58the hang position.
- 1:27:59Cause it's a hang clean.
- 1:28:02just weird complex that I
- 1:28:04don't think I've done that
- 1:28:06particular complex.
- 1:28:08Yeah.
- 1:28:08That's interesting.
- 1:28:10Like I've done a lot of
- 1:28:11clean and jerk stuff complex,
- 1:28:14but that one, I was like,
- 1:28:15I don't think I've done
- 1:28:16that combination with the
- 1:28:17hang clean after a jerk.
- 1:28:20And maybe that's what they wanted,
- 1:28:22but I don't know that I
- 1:28:23love that combination as a
- 1:28:26clean and jerk complex.
- 1:28:27I feel like you're going to have,
- 1:28:29go ahead.
- 1:28:31Lynn tries to tell us who
- 1:28:32all is going to be there.
- 1:28:33Koski, BKG, Roman, Ano.
- 1:28:36And then Corey says only
- 1:28:38seventy six more dudes, Lynn.
- 1:28:39Yeah,
- 1:28:42I feel like you're going to have a
- 1:28:43lot of like hand adjustment.
- 1:28:47It's a it's a weird pop like
- 1:28:49things that I don't you
- 1:28:50didn't you said you didn't
- 1:28:51watch all of Copa Sir, but I will say,
- 1:28:54can I say on this?
- 1:28:55I thought Copa Sir's
- 1:28:57coverage was incredible.
- 1:28:59three languages drone.
- 1:29:01Like it was really good coverage,
- 1:29:03like the lanes.
- 1:29:05Um, but I had issues with their,
- 1:29:09their complex with some
- 1:29:11people being told they
- 1:29:12couldn't even adjust off their shoulders.
- 1:29:16And some people did that later.
- 1:29:18And I,
- 1:29:18and like the one dude got a no lift
- 1:29:21because of it.
- 1:29:21He didn't hit a single lift.
- 1:29:24Um,
- 1:29:26And so I feel like this is going,
- 1:29:29this complex here is going
- 1:29:30to have a whole lot of like
- 1:29:32shuffling and re-gripping
- 1:29:33or can you re-grip it in your hips?
- 1:29:35Can you, I don't know, stuff like that.
- 1:29:38I don't like that being a factor,
- 1:29:40like for whether you, whether you,
- 1:29:42you just missed, like,
- 1:29:44I guess it's execution,
- 1:29:45but it's just not a,
- 1:29:47it's not a smooth complex.
- 1:29:49what I noticed at copa sir
- 1:29:51was like some judges would
- 1:29:53straight up like they would
- 1:29:54essentially make them stop
- 1:29:55lifting like they had to
- 1:29:56set the bar down they
- 1:29:57couldn't they couldn't one
- 1:29:59girl got no wrapped on a
- 1:30:00front squat and she was
- 1:30:00essentially done they
- 1:30:02didn't let her just do
- 1:30:03another front squat and
- 1:30:04that makes no sense to me
- 1:30:05yeah like you should be
- 1:30:09able to continue on in the
- 1:30:10lift redo I'm assuming they
- 1:30:14can have max attempts at this one so
- 1:30:17I don't know, but I don't know.
- 1:30:19Um, yeah, I just,
- 1:30:21I don't love the jerk to the hang clean.
- 1:30:24I just don't think it's smooth.
- 1:30:25And I don't like, well,
- 1:30:27I don't think that that
- 1:30:27should be a part of
- 1:30:28CrossFit or like a fitness test.
- 1:30:32Uh, Lynn says re-gripping is no rep.
- 1:30:33Where do you get these standards?
- 1:30:35Seriously.
- 1:30:38Re-gripping being an R is stupid.
- 1:30:43I feel like they were trying
- 1:30:44to make a point of so like
- 1:30:45because Hiller freaking
- 1:30:47bombarded Guy in this
- 1:30:49complex because of that pop
- 1:30:52off of his shoulder.
- 1:30:53I think the judges got together and said,
- 1:30:55we're watching for that.
- 1:30:56We're not allowing it.
- 1:30:57So it doesn't happen again.
- 1:30:59But some people did it and
- 1:31:00got away with it.
- 1:31:01And some people didn't.
- 1:31:02And I think that's a problem.
- 1:31:07All right.
- 1:31:09Yeah.
- 1:31:09So I don't like that one.
- 1:31:10This one I think is like,
- 1:31:12what are we testing?
- 1:31:13Like it's, it seems simple.
- 1:31:17It's just a thirty five pound dumbbell,
- 1:31:18eight devil's press,
- 1:31:20ten box step overs and then
- 1:31:22a twelve meter overhead
- 1:31:23lunge with the same dumbbell.
- 1:31:25Just a single arm dumbbell
- 1:31:26over three rounds of that.
- 1:31:27Like you're you're asking
- 1:31:29people to race movements
- 1:31:31like the overhead lunging
- 1:31:33for it's just gonna be an
- 1:31:34execution thing because it
- 1:31:35is an execution.
- 1:31:38these reps aren't difficult
- 1:31:41at all and you're racing
- 1:31:43them I think it's I think
- 1:31:44it's going to be
- 1:31:44problematic for uh reps
- 1:31:47it's going to people are
- 1:31:47going to call back on
- 1:31:48lunges or stuff like that
- 1:31:51box step over is that just
- 1:31:52like single dumbbell block step over
- 1:31:57Yeah, that's a little weird.
- 1:31:58I don't know.
- 1:31:58Is that the finale?
- 1:32:00No,
- 1:32:00I just don't think that's a good finale.
- 1:32:02And this is a terrible finale.
- 1:32:04Like, what is this as a finale?
- 1:32:05Like, you're finishing with GHDs.
- 1:32:07That's the finale.
- 1:32:09Like, how boring is that?
- 1:32:10That's a horrible finale.
- 1:32:15That is a horrible finale.
- 1:32:19that three rounder would
- 1:32:21have been a better finale
- 1:32:22with how people do GHDs now.
- 1:32:24Like it's just, yeah.
- 1:32:26Yes.
- 1:32:26Oh my God.
- 1:32:27Oh,
- 1:32:27I think this deck says back on the
- 1:32:31fifth one.
- 1:32:32Yeah.
- 1:32:32That's weird one.
- 1:32:33Uh,
- 1:32:33let's do silly things for three rounds.
- 1:32:36I mean,
- 1:32:36I'd rather see that as the finale
- 1:32:38than this.
- 1:32:39This is silly.
- 1:32:40I just don't see this as a finale.
- 1:32:43Like the ten strict deficit
- 1:32:44in the handstand push-ups in the middle,
- 1:32:46like that's solid,
- 1:32:48especially with the twenty
- 1:32:49dumbbell thrusters prior.
- 1:32:50But it's not super heavy prior.
- 1:32:53But it will separate the
- 1:32:55people that can't go unbroken there,
- 1:32:58depending on their
- 1:33:00gymnastics proficiency.
- 1:33:02But I don't know.
- 1:33:05the workouts kind of one,
- 1:33:06I think in the middle.
- 1:33:07And then with,
- 1:33:08if you're going on broken or not, uh,
- 1:33:11Ken says event five and six potpourri,
- 1:33:14just throwing anything and
- 1:33:15everything together.
- 1:33:16Yeah.
- 1:33:16I don't think this is nicely
- 1:33:18programmed and this is
- 1:33:19mayhem programming the whole thing.
- 1:33:20And I don't like these workouts.
- 1:33:23Well, the best people come out.
- 1:33:25Sure.
- 1:33:25But I don't, I don't think it's,
- 1:33:29I didn't think that there
- 1:33:29was that great of programming.
- 1:33:34Hey, they had a lot to program.
- 1:33:35They could only do good so many times.
- 1:33:37I know.
- 1:33:39They could only repeat so many workouts.
- 1:33:40All right.
- 1:33:44I expected better.
- 1:33:47I do know Lucy Campbell is
- 1:33:48going to be there this weekend.
- 1:33:51I've heard a couple more on
- 1:33:52the women's side.
- 1:33:57But man,
- 1:33:58this is the gauntlet for the
- 1:33:59European athletes.
- 1:34:02If you are in both the WFP and in CrossFit,
- 1:34:07you've got this week for Wadland,
- 1:34:09then what,
- 1:34:09in two weeks you've got the
- 1:34:10online in affiliate semi,
- 1:34:13and then you've got WFP the
- 1:34:15week after that.
- 1:34:17Or French throwdown.
- 1:34:18Or French throwdown, right.
- 1:34:23Yeah.
- 1:34:23Yeah, if you're a European athlete,
- 1:34:24you're peaking for this
- 1:34:25part of the season.
- 1:34:28Crazy.
- 1:34:29Yeah.
- 1:34:30Yeah.
- 1:34:32Uh, with that, uh, we are already over,
- 1:34:35but I did want to show one
- 1:34:36thing if it's still up there.
- 1:34:39Um, hopefully it is.
- 1:34:41So, um,
- 1:34:42I announced our winners for the
- 1:34:43bracket challenge.
- 1:34:45Um,
- 1:34:46and I sent out the prize packs to the
- 1:34:48winners.
- 1:34:50I don't know if they have them yet.
- 1:34:52I know Brett does.
- 1:34:54So there is your prize.
- 1:34:56Amazing.
- 1:34:59Um,
- 1:34:59it's a little mini NBA trophy and a
- 1:35:01championship ring for both of you.
- 1:35:06Um, and then the,
- 1:35:07the box on the front
- 1:35:08actually says your name and,
- 1:35:10and that you won the
- 1:35:12Clydesdale media bracket challenge.
- 1:35:15And for Brett, I gave him a coffee mug.
- 1:35:17Um, you already had one,
- 1:35:18so I didn't sign up, but that is awesome.
- 1:35:22That is so cool.
- 1:35:25So Brett got his today.
- 1:35:27Jamie should have yours tomorrow, I think.
- 1:35:34That's awesome.
- 1:35:34That is so awesome.
- 1:35:35I'm going to take this way
- 1:35:36more seriously next year.
- 1:35:37I got to get a hand of rings.
- 1:35:39Holy cow.
- 1:35:39Yeah.
- 1:35:40You're going to be every year.
- 1:35:41It's going to be like all the rings.
- 1:35:45Yeah.
- 1:35:46So pretty awesome.
- 1:35:46Good.
- 1:35:47That's good.
- 1:35:48Where did you get that done?
- 1:35:51Somewhere local or online?
- 1:35:53Online.
- 1:35:54Awesome.
- 1:35:56Um, actually the,
- 1:35:58it was a glass window and then I made the,
- 1:36:01the thing in Canva, put it on inside.
- 1:36:03So it showed,
- 1:36:04and then I got the trophies on an Amazon,
- 1:36:08Amazon.
- 1:36:10I love that so much.
- 1:36:12So, yep.
- 1:36:13We take things seriously around here.
- 1:36:14Well, if we're doing a contract,
- 1:36:16I think we're going to get
- 1:36:17more people that are going to do it now.
- 1:36:19Next year.
- 1:36:19Yeah.
- 1:36:21We should have done a hockey playoff one.
- 1:36:23What is this?
- 1:36:25Yeah.
- 1:36:26Someone said earlier in the
- 1:36:28chat that you're not
- 1:36:29watching the Habs tonight.
- 1:36:33No.
- 1:36:33I should actually check on their score.
- 1:36:36So, yeah.
- 1:36:38Know that you might win a
- 1:36:39cool prize if you do one of
- 1:36:40our competitions.
- 1:36:42Just saying.
- 1:36:42Heck yeah.
- 1:36:46Montreal losing to one right now.
- 1:36:49Yeah, we'll come up with some.
- 1:36:50You know, it's game season.
- 1:36:51We got to have some fun
- 1:36:52stuff in the coming weeks and months.
- 1:36:56So we'll definitely have some other stuff.
- 1:36:59But yeah,
- 1:36:59Jamie won the women's tournament.
- 1:37:01Brett won the men's tournament.
- 1:37:04You both get your prizes.
- 1:37:06And they went out in the mail on Saturday.
- 1:37:08So Ken says, let's go wild.
- 1:37:12Regretfully,
- 1:37:13my penguins have been done for
- 1:37:15about three months now.
- 1:37:16Yeah.
- 1:37:19And then the Blue Jackets
- 1:37:20here in town were in it
- 1:37:22until the last day.
- 1:37:24And then Montreal arrested
- 1:37:26all their players and the
- 1:37:27team they needed to lose
- 1:37:29beat Montreal and Columbus got booted.
- 1:37:33So, yeah.
- 1:37:35All right, guys.
- 1:37:36Well, I think that's it.
- 1:37:38I'm headed to Montana on Wednesday,
- 1:37:41but I did purchase an iPad
- 1:37:43with cell service,
- 1:37:44so I should be able to run
- 1:37:45the show from wherever I am.
- 1:37:48I'm going to try it out with
- 1:37:49some lunch shows earlier in the week.
- 1:37:51Maybe I'll do a show from
- 1:37:52Mount Rushmore or something like that.
