  start um if you've been
• 0:38
  listening to the lunch show
• 0:39
  you know a couple weeks ago
• 0:41
  I had my debit card stolen
• 0:43
  um and I've got all that
• 0:45
  rectified but I forgot to
• 0:47
  update my billing
• 0:48
  information in stream yard
• 0:51
  Found out today that my payment failed.
• 0:53
  Reset everything and it
• 0:54
  reset everything in the back end.
• 0:58
  So I have to get all that
• 0:59
  cleaned up in the next few days.
• 1:02
  But we got everybody here.
• 1:04
  They just don't have the

  capabilities they normally have.
• 1:07
  So I'm running the show tonight.

• 1:47
  Podcasts have been around for a while now.
• 1:50
  With that,
• 1:52
  we always do a little catch-up to start.
• 1:54
  How was your guys' weekend?
• 1:58
  Good.
• 1:58
  I mean,
• 1:59
  I'm glad that the Open is coming to
• 2:02
  an end.
• 2:02
  It's so freaking hectic for gym owners.
• 2:06
  Another just complicated workout, right?
• 2:08
  Changing the weights.
• 2:09
  When it came out, I was like, really?
• 2:12
  Last week was a shit show.
• 2:13
  This is going to be even
• 2:14
  more of a shit show.
• 2:17
  Yeah,
• 2:17
  this is not an easy one on the
• 2:18
  affiliates at all.
• 2:19
  Anytime there's weight
• 2:20
  changes and it's not the
• 2:21
  athlete that's changing weight,
• 2:23
  that you need someone else
• 2:25
  or you need multiple barbells,
• 2:26
  it's just not...
• 2:29
  an easy workout for the
• 2:30
  affiliates to kind of close.
• 2:31
  Like it's cause you need
• 2:32
  more than one person.
• 2:33
  If you want to actually like
• 2:34
  give your shot or else
• 2:35
  you're changing your own weights,
• 2:36
  you're doing a bunch of stuff.
• 2:38
  I almost wish it was
• 2:40
  mandated change your own
• 2:41
  weights because then that
• 2:42
  would just be the standard.
• 2:43
  And then that's the athletes who do it.
• 2:45
  The problem is you, you know,
• 2:47
  like you're good athletes
• 2:49
  need someone to change them,
• 2:51
  but if they're doing it,
• 2:52
  then everyone wants their
• 2:52
  weights changed for them.
• 2:53
  And it's like,
• 2:54
  it's so hard in affiliate
• 2:56
  and like the five foot mandated, uh,
• 2:59
  rule is so silly in this one
• 3:01
  so silly atlantis is
• 3:04
  exhausting three weekends
• 3:06
  but so much fun it is so much fun
• 3:10
  Did you guys see the meme for time?
• 3:13
  Meme?
• 3:14
  I don't think it was a meme.
• 3:15
  I don't think it was intended to be.
• 3:16
  But he did the workout in his garage,
• 3:18
  changing weights.
• 3:20
  They were rolling the
• 3:21
  weights to get him out of the way.
• 3:23
  And one of them was headed for his car.
• 3:26
  And his wife made like the
• 3:28
  last second save before it
• 3:30
  hit the side of the car.
• 3:34
  He caught it on video,
• 3:35
  which was even cooler.
• 3:36
  Yeah, it's crazy.
• 3:40
  I get that sometimes like, and every time,
• 3:42
  like sometimes I'll put even like a small,
• 3:44
  like five or something and
• 3:45
  it'll go all the way.
• 3:46
  And I'm like, Oh,
• 3:47
  I got a Velner plate just
• 3:48
  going across the gym.
• 3:52
  Right.
• 3:52
  That's what we all think
• 3:53
  about is that one Velner
• 3:55
  scene at the games with the yoke.
• 3:57
  Like it's just,
• 3:58
  it's in everyone's head
• 3:59
  that watched the games at that point.
• 4:01
  Yep.
• 4:02
  Like as much as much as it's
• 4:03
  difficult on the affiliates,
• 4:04
  I also don't like when
• 4:05
  athletes need to change
• 4:06
  their own weight because I
• 4:07
  don't think that should be
• 4:08
  part of fitness.
• 4:10
  Like how fast you can change your weights,
• 4:12
  all that.
• 4:12
  Like I don't like that part,
• 4:14
  but I get it for the open.
• 4:16
  It's just like it's just not
• 4:18
  something that's easy for
• 4:19
  the affiliates to do.
• 4:20
  Yeah, I get what you're saying.
• 4:23
  It's funny to me because I
• 4:24
  change them so often and
• 4:26
  I'm used to that because it
• 4:28
  just happens to be a part
• 4:28
  of the game sometimes, right?
• 4:30
  I mean,
• 4:30
  it was part of the game at the
• 4:31
  CrossFit Games.
• 4:32
  Yeah,
• 4:32
  your snatch event at the Games was
• 4:34
  all about who could switch
• 4:35
  their weights the fastest.
• 4:36
  Yeah.
• 4:36
  If you had the capacity for the lifts,
• 4:38
  it just became that.
• 4:39
  yeah like I'll be changing
• 4:40
  weights at the gym and
• 4:42
  other like newer members
• 4:43
  I'll just be like you're so
• 4:45
  fast at that and I'm like I
• 4:47
  mean it it happens to play
• 4:49
  into some workouts so like
• 4:50
  I've learned to just be
• 4:51
  very quick at it yeah uh
• 4:56
  julian iford reacher is so
• 4:58
  awesome thanks for the
• 4:58
  recommendation this week's
• 5:03
  both it and the pit like
• 5:04
  have me on the edge of my
• 5:05
  seat waiting for the
• 5:06
  finales to come oh my gosh
• 5:09
  they both are killing me
• 5:11
  right now oh like literally
• 5:16
  I'm watching reacher I'm on
• 5:17
  the edge of my seat I could
• 5:18
  not sit back I could not
• 5:19
  relax and then the very end
• 5:21
  of the pit you're like no I know
• 5:26
  Yeah, both.
• 5:27
  Last week too, I was like,
• 5:31
  huge cliffhanger.
• 5:32
  And then this week I'm like, dang it,
• 5:34
  another cliffhanger, quit.
• 5:36
  I know.
• 5:37
  I know.
• 5:38
  And now this week we've got March madness,
• 5:41
  both the women's,
• 5:42
  the women's tournaments
• 5:43
  being announced as we speak right now.
• 5:45
  Um, the men's came out about an hour ago.
• 5:48
  Um,
• 5:48
  so I'm sure everybody's going to be
• 5:50
  filling out their brackets all week.
• 5:52
  There'll be no work
• 5:53
  accomplished at any office building, um,
• 5:55
  from Thursday till, till Sunday.
• 6:00
  When I was in an office,
• 6:02
  like we would go to the
• 6:03
  like local BW three and that lunch.
• 6:06
  And then we made it back
• 6:08
  maybe by three or four o'clock.
• 6:09
  Right.
• 6:11
  Yeah.
• 6:13
  So that's going on this week
• 6:16
  and it's crazy week and opens ending.
• 6:19
  Good thing.
• 6:19
  Like CrossFit's taken like just a,
• 6:21
  a little bit of a deep breath.
• 6:23
  We have no CrossFit.
• 6:24
  We have no WFP for a couple of weeks.
• 6:26
  No, we do.
• 6:29
  It doesn't the WFP

  You're right.
• 6:46
  It's just like a Wednesday
• 6:47
  to Monday thing.
• 6:48
  Like for.
• 6:53
  Yeah.
• 6:53
  Not sure.
• 6:56
  I watched a lot of WFP stuff
• 6:58
  today to try to catch up on everything.
• 7:02
  I know it starts Wednesday.
• 7:03
  Okay.
• 7:04
  That's what I know.
• 7:07
  I think it is Wednesday to Monday.
• 7:09
  Okay.
• 7:11
  Meredith Jones had a very
• 7:12
  random Rich Froning
• 7:13
  sighting this afternoon,
• 7:14
  which was fun for this fangirl.
• 7:16
  I was out driving with my husband and kids,
• 7:18
  and we saw this incredibly
• 7:19
  fit guy in the front yard of a house.
• 7:23
  He was playing with some
• 7:23
  kids and I just kept
• 7:25
  staring at him wondering,
• 7:26
  he looks so familiar.
• 7:27
  How do I know this guy?
• 7:30
  Then as we passed him,
• 7:31
  I slapped my hands together and exclaimed,
• 7:33
  holy shit, it's Rich Froning.
• 7:35
  I live in California,
• 7:36
  which is why this was so random.
• 7:39
  But I knew from his podcast
• 7:41
  that he had family in Glendora,
• 7:42
  California,
• 7:44
  and apparently they live ten
• 7:45
  minutes from me.
• 7:46
  Interesting.
• 7:49
  I did not know that he had
• 7:50
  family in California.
• 7:52
  I know he had admit he has a
• 7:53
  ton in Michigan.
• 7:54
  Exactly.
• 7:56
  Um,
• 7:58
  and Tennessee of course did not know
• 8:00
  California.
• 8:01
  Yeah.
• 8:01
  Interesting.
• 8:03
  That's cool.
• 8:04
  Uh,
• 8:05
  Kenneth's a lap and trying to get my
• 8:06
  wife to sit down and watch the pit.
• 8:08
  Once you start, it's hard to stop.
• 8:12
  Yeah.
• 8:13
  Ask Jamie.
• 8:13
  She watched it all till two
• 8:14
  thirty in the morning one time.
• 8:16
  Yeah.
• 8:20
  Um,
• 8:24
  Yeah, I think we're caught up on all that.
• 8:29
  Um,
• 8:30
  I got the last piece of ketchup news I
• 8:32
  have is my daughter had an
• 8:34
  interview in Montana or not
• 8:37
  in Montana for a job in Montana with a,
• 8:41
  um, outdoor apparel company, uh,
• 8:44
  to be their, their,
• 8:45
  their photo person and
• 8:47
  editor and social media
• 8:48
  person for their apparel line,
• 8:50
  which is the, the dream job she wants.
• 8:54
  She wants to do fashion photography, uh,
• 8:57
  And it went really, really well.
• 9:00
  And she has a second interview this week.
• 9:03
  And so I may be traveling to
• 9:05
  Montana sometime this spring.
• 9:06
  She would have to move there.
• 9:08
  She would have to move there.
• 9:11
  Wow.
• 9:12
  But she's twenty.
• 9:13
  She'll be twenty four this summer.
• 9:15
  Like she has right now.
• 9:16
  She has no significant other.
• 9:18
  No kids.
• 9:19
  Now's the time to like go
• 9:21
  try those things and build your resume.
• 9:24
  And
• 9:26
  I've never been to Montana.
• 9:27
  I hear Montana's wonderful.
• 9:29
  It's supposed to be just beautiful.
• 9:31
  Yeah.
• 9:32
  And then out of the blue,
• 9:33
  she got a call from GNC
• 9:37
  corporate office to photo the St.
• 9:41
  Patty's Day five K in
• 9:42
  Pittsburgh that they were sponsoring.
• 9:45
  Her friend had done work for
• 9:46
  them in Cleveland and
• 9:48
  They wanted her to go do
• 9:49
  this in Pittsburgh.
• 9:50
  She goes,
• 9:51
  I can't drive to Pittsburgh for that,
• 9:53
  but I have a friend gave
• 9:55
  them Corey's number.
• 9:57
  They called Corey and she got hired.
• 10:00
  That's cool.
• 10:01
  Yeah.
• 10:03
  So she did that on,
• 10:05
  she said she basically ran
• 10:07
  the five K because the
• 10:08
  pictures they wanted were
• 10:09
  start line in the middle
• 10:11
  where they were going
• 10:12
  around the U S steel building.
• 10:13
  And then to get all the way
• 10:15
  back to the finish line for
• 10:16
  finish line pictures.
• 10:18
  So she got a good run in and
• 10:21
  she got a good job and she
• 10:23
  got paid for it.
• 10:23
  That's awesome.
• 10:27
  So fun weekend for us as parents.
• 10:33
  Anything going on with you, Carolyn?
• 10:35
  You just got back, right?
• 10:37
  Yeah,
• 10:37
  I got back from California on Friday
• 10:39
  night around like six
• 10:41
  thirty and then back to work tomorrow.
• 10:44
  So I was off for just over a week,
• 10:47
  like the Friday, the seventh.
• 10:49
  We were off until Monday.
• 10:52
  We're back at it.
• 10:53
  Is that like your guys' spring break?
• 10:55
  Yeah.
• 10:56
  Okay.
• 10:57
  we call it March break here.
• 10:58
  So same thing though.
• 11:01
  Yep.
• 11:02
  Now it's,
• 11:03
  now it's just kind of surviving
• 11:04
  until Easter.
• 11:05
  And after that it's
• 11:06
  surviving until the next holiday and keep,
• 11:09
  you know, you just chip away at the next,
• 11:11
  the next break.
• 11:13
  That's how it is as teachers.
• 11:17
  Yeah.
• 11:17
  For us state workers,
• 11:18
  this is the time where we
• 11:19
  get no days off from like
• 11:21
  from president's day till
• 11:24
  Memorial day weekend.
• 11:25
  You guys don't get Easter.
• 11:27
  no we get a four day we get
• 11:30
  a four day weekend for
• 11:31
  easter which is nice
• 11:33
  because you get the good
• 11:34
  friday or yeah monday off
• 11:37
  yeah we don't get any of
• 11:37
  that um ken walters margo
• 11:42
  alvarez has a nice place in
• 11:43
  montana is that where the
• 11:44
  vineyard is I think so um
• 11:52
  ken walsh wants to know
• 11:53
  jamie are you staying out of trouble
• 11:56
  never yeah sure but it was
• 11:58
  our seventeenth wedding
• 12:00
  anniversary yesterday so we
• 12:02
  went to dinner after the
• 12:03
  gym congrats yeah it's a
• 12:05
  long time I know right yeah
• 12:12
  wow I know this job
• 12:15
  Did your gym do any
• 12:16
  celebration for the end of the open or?
• 12:20
  So we do a members ball
• 12:22
  every year and it's usually
• 12:24
  like in the winter time and
• 12:25
  we were going to do it yesterday,
• 12:28
  but it was just like so chaotic with each,
• 12:31
  like,
• 12:31
  like we did like a potluck at the
• 12:33
  gym on the first week of the open.
• 12:35
  We went to,
• 12:35
  went to a restaurant nearby
• 12:37
  last week and,
• 12:38
  We did a smoothie night in, in house.
• 12:41
  Yes.
• 12:41
  Friday night.
• 12:42
  And the members ball,
• 12:44
  we usually do potluck style as well.
• 12:46
  And I was just like, we're just,
• 12:49
  we're not ready.
• 12:50
  And that's just more,
• 12:51
  more information and things
• 12:52
  to throw at people.
• 12:53
  when we're trying to do this open.
• 12:56
  So we're going to postpone
• 12:57
  that till probably,
• 12:59
  probably push it back to fall.
• 13:00
  Um,
• 13:00
  but that was going to be like our
• 13:02
  celebration.
• 13:02
  Like we were going to try to
• 13:03
  get the scores in and
• 13:04
  announce the team winner.
• 13:06
  And it was just like,
• 13:07
  this is so much and not in like,
• 13:08
  I had like seven, six,
• 13:09
  seven people do the workout
• 13:10
  today at open gym.
• 13:12
  So it's probably a good
• 13:13
  thing we didn't cause not
• 13:14
  all the scores were in for our teams.
• 13:16
  are you guys going to make a
• 13:17
  push for the community cup?
• 13:19
  Like,
• 13:19
  are you guys talking about that
• 13:20
  already with your members?
• 13:21
  Or are you guys going to take a,
• 13:22
  a week of just a little bit
• 13:24
  of a break and then maybe
• 13:26
  talk about goals for the next part of.
• 13:29
  Yeah.
• 13:30
  Well,
• 13:30
  we ended up with people that signed
• 13:32
  up for the open and we're
• 13:33
  going to create like, whether you'd,
• 13:36
  we had like people come
• 13:38
  every Friday night.
• 13:39
  So we, it was pretty good turnout for us.
• 13:41
  Um,
• 13:42
  And of that,
• 13:43
  I think I can figure most
• 13:45
  people's levels that didn't
• 13:47
  sign up that were very
• 13:49
  similar to other people.
• 13:50
  So we're going to do the,
• 13:52
  our in-house comp like
• 13:54
  coincide with the community cup.
• 13:56
  So that'll be June.
• 13:57
  We'll do it June fourth.
• 13:57
  I know it's like run that whole week,
• 13:59
  but we'll just do that Saturday.
• 14:00
  Like we'll run all three
• 14:01
  workouts that Saturday,
• 14:03
  June fourth or whatever it is.
• 14:05
  Sixth.
• 14:06
  I don't know.
• 14:07
  Is it the same weekend as NorCal?
• 14:09
  don't know maybe it's the
• 14:09
  fifteen I don't know when
• 14:10
  it is it's like it's
• 14:11
  sometime in june I have it
• 14:12
  in my calendar um I think
• 14:14
  it's father's day week I
• 14:16
  think it's like right after
• 14:17
  norcal like maybe a week or
• 14:19
  two after yeah that's like
• 14:21
  last chance qualifier too
• 14:22
  at the same time I wonder
• 14:23
  if they're gonna have the same workouts
• 14:26
  Maybe they'll use that.
• 14:27
  They still haven't talked
• 14:28
  about anything about the
• 14:29
  last chance qualifier in
• 14:30
  terms of how many are going to that.
• 14:33
  Like there's been no details.
• 14:35
  It's just kind of been
• 14:36
  something that was thrown out there.
• 14:37
  And then that's it.
• 14:39
  Bill and Chase did talk about that.
• 14:40
  And they said something
• 14:41
  about using the community cup,
• 14:44
  the level ten, the level nine and ten.
• 14:48
  The winner of that,
• 14:49
  like that was their suggestion.
• 14:52
  And sometimes I feel like
• 14:52
  they have insight when they
• 14:54
  say some of this stuff.
• 14:55
  So.
• 14:57
  that totally could be I mean
• 15:00
  that's one way to do it
• 15:01
  like yeah I don't know that
• 15:07
  could be cool so before we
• 15:09
  get into to finishing up
• 15:11
  the open from last week um
• 15:13
  one piece of somber news
• 15:16
  huge shout out to to
• 15:17
  charlie uh co-host on the
• 15:19
  round table he lost his
• 15:21
  father at the end of this week um and so
• 15:24
  if you got like thoughts
• 15:25
  prayers out to charlie if
• 15:27
  you if you believe send
• 15:29
  them some prayers um
• 15:31
  thoughts he would surely
• 15:32
  appreciate that um he was
• 15:34
  really close to close with
• 15:35
  his dad and um and lost him
• 15:38
  at the end of the week and
• 15:39
  so he's taking it pretty
• 15:40
  tough and he could use any
• 15:42
  thoughts and prayers you
• 15:43
  have for him so I want to
• 15:45
  throw that out to everybody
• 15:52
  And I lost my dad a few years ago.
• 15:55
  It was one of the toughest
• 15:56
  things in my life.
• 15:57
  I still am affected by that.
• 16:01
  So hard.
• 16:03
  So last week we finished up
• 16:07
  twenty three or twenty five point two.
• 16:13
  Carolyn finished the week in
• 16:14
  fourth place worldwide and
• 16:17
  this year they only,
• 16:18
  they only paid a top three, right?
• 16:21
  Cause I heard Hopper say in
• 16:23
  the behind the scenes,
• 16:24
  like the one place he
• 16:25
  doesn't want to finish his
• 16:26
  fourth in the open.
• 16:29
  Yeah.
• 16:29
  So last year they paid all
• 16:30
  the way to fifth place.
• 16:32
  And then every weekly winner,
• 16:33
  only the top this year,
• 16:35
  they're doing top three
• 16:36
  weekly and top three overall.
• 16:39
  Hmm.
• 16:39
  Okay.
• 16:40
  So that's new.
• 16:41
  So they got rid of the
• 16:43
  fourth and fifth overall,
• 16:44
  but then they also at least
• 16:45
  gave three for weeklies.
• 16:47
  Interesting.
• 16:49
  So the workouts announced.
• 16:52
  We talked about it a little bit last week,
• 16:56
  but how did it end up finishing up?
• 16:58
  Did anybody do redos on Monday?
• 17:01
  Happy with your scores?
• 17:04
  I mean, Carolyn crushed it.
• 17:08
  Yeah, it went well.
• 17:09
  I did it the Thursday before
• 17:10
  I left for California.
• 17:13
  Cause Lex doesn't go to the
• 17:15
  gym normally on the Sunday and Monday.
• 17:18
  Um,
• 17:19
  and then I was flying the Friday there.
• 17:22
  So I wouldn't,
• 17:23
  I needed to kind of crush that one, uh,
• 17:26
  on the Thursday.
• 17:27
  And then you, that's, that's one that like,
• 17:28
  you kind of know ish what
• 17:31
  people are going to get.
• 17:32
  Cause it's a redo.
• 17:33
  Um,
• 17:35
  I was actually surprised at
• 17:37
  how many people did better than me.
• 17:41
  Like I thought I had a better score than,
• 17:43
  like I got twentieth,
• 17:44
  but I thought it was going
• 17:45
  to be closer like between
• 17:46
  ten and fifteenth if I was,
• 17:48
  if I'm honest.
• 17:49
  So I was, yeah, I was like, oh.
• 17:53
  Yeah,
• 17:53
  some of those scores are just wild to me.
• 17:55
  I, I don't know.
• 17:58
  Thrusters just frustrate the
• 18:01
  shit out of me.
• 18:01
  Like,
• 18:04
  Like my score in that is just,
• 18:06
  I don't know.
• 18:06
  It's just not good.
• 18:08
  You finished fifteenth in your division.
• 18:10
  Yeah, it's not good.
• 18:13
  Okay.
• 18:15
  Man, I'm like, I'm uberly impressed.
• 18:18
  And I know that you beat
• 18:19
  yourself up pretty good.
• 18:20
  But I'm like excellent at bar muscle ups.
• 18:26
  I mean, I don't know.
• 18:29
  It just doesn't make sense to me.
• 18:33
  What was your score in that?
• 18:34
  What was your time?
• 18:35
  Six thirty four.
• 18:37
  So let me ask you this.
• 18:39
  And you can.
• 18:41
  I can be the bad guy.
• 18:41
  Are you saying that because
• 18:43
  you think that standards
• 18:45
  are not being met,
• 18:46
  that people are hitting
• 18:46
  better times or that you
• 18:48
  think you're just really
• 18:49
  slow at thrusters and
• 18:51
  you've got to figure that
• 18:52
  out moving forward?
• 18:54
  And Aaron and I have talked about that.
• 18:55
  We can't figure it out.
• 18:57
  I mean, I think for sure,
• 18:58
  I think it's a little bit
• 18:59
  of a cycle speed for me thing.
• 19:02
  I don't squat fast.
• 19:07
  But it's like the movement
• 19:10
  between thrusters and gymnastics just,
• 19:14
  I don't know.
• 19:15
  I don't know.
• 19:15
  Maybe I can't hold on for
• 19:16
  big sets of thrusters.
• 19:17
  I'm not sure what it is.
• 19:18
  It's weird because I'm
• 19:20
  pretty great at wall balls.
• 19:23
  So, and I get it, thrusters are heavier,
• 19:26
  but I'm not bad at squatting endurance.
• 19:33
  What got tired for you in that one?
• 19:35
  Your grip slash, like,
• 19:37
  upper body or your engine?
• 19:41
  I guess engine, but it's, like...
• 19:47
  I don't know.
• 19:48
  Like, I mean,
• 19:48
  I was able to do eleven four
• 19:50
  on the bar muscle up.
• 19:50
  I was I was fine.
• 19:52
  And I went on broken on the
• 19:53
  fifteen thrusters at the end.
• 19:58
  I don't know.
• 19:59
  Maybe I'm.
• 20:02
  I don't know.
• 20:02
  I just I guess I need to
• 20:04
  just I've trained thrusters
• 20:05
  a ton this year,
• 20:06
  but it's still like and I'm
• 20:08
  way better at chest to bar
• 20:09
  than I was in twenty two.
• 20:11
  So and I was like seven oh
• 20:14
  five and twenty two.
• 20:14
  So I feel like.
• 20:16
  I feel like six thirty four
• 20:17
  isn't that great.
• 20:18
  And like in seeing other people's times,
• 20:19
  like when I look at workout
• 20:21
  one and workout two.
• 20:25
  I even workout three,
• 20:26
  it's just it's it's just weird to me,
• 20:29
  like I guess it's weird to
• 20:30
  me that where some people
• 20:32
  are able to hurt and not
• 20:35
  able to hurt and other things,
• 20:36
  that's what doesn't like I
• 20:37
  can't quite figure out.
• 20:41
  Like the style of workout
• 20:42
  that people are able to
• 20:43
  kind of put their head down in.
• 20:44
  Yeah.
• 20:48
  Yeah.
• 20:51
  Yeah.
• 20:51
  I need to find that, that place again.
• 20:53
  What place?
• 20:53
  Oh, to put my head down and suffer.
• 20:54
  I,
• 20:54
  I do think that I over like over
• 20:55
  accentuate my thrusters.
• 20:56
  And I do think that that in
• 20:56
  effect tires me out.
• 20:57
  I do think that that in
• 20:57
  effect tires me out.
• 20:58
  I do think that that in
• 20:58
  effect tires me out.
• 20:59
  I do think that that in
• 20:59
  effect tires me out.
• 21:00
  I do think that that in
• 21:01
  effect tires me out.
• 21:02
  I do think that that in
• 21:02
  effect tires me out.
• 21:03
  I do think that that in
• 21:03
  effect tires me out.
• 21:04
  I do think that that in
• 21:05
  effect tires me out.
• 21:05
  I do think that that in
• 21:06
  effect tires me out.
• 21:07
  I do think that that in
• 21:09
  effect tires me out.
• 21:09
  I do think that that in
• 21:10
  effect tires me out.
• 21:10
  I do think that that in
• 21:11
  effect tires me out.
• 21:12
  I do think that that in
• 21:12
  effect tires me out.
• 21:13
  I do think that that in
• 21:13
  effect tires me out.
• 21:14
  I do think that that in
• 21:14
  effect tires me out.
• 21:15
  I do think that that in
• 21:15
  effect tires me out.
• 21:16
  I do think that
• 21:17
  I don't know,
• 21:17
  I got to figure out how to move that.
• 21:22
  I'm never gonna go I'm never
• 21:23
  gonna ride the line at squat height.
• 21:25
  I'm never gonna ride the
• 21:26
  line at right here in front of my face.
• 21:28
  Like, that's just not me.
• 21:32
  But
• 21:33
  Yeah.
• 21:33
  It's like the cycle speed of
• 21:34
  some people are so fast.
• 21:36
  And like, I have a,
• 21:37
  I have a good cycle speed
• 21:38
  for thrusters and like even mine,
• 21:42
  I'm like,
• 21:42
  and then I started looking at
• 21:43
  some of the scores that be me.
• 21:44
  I'm like, damn,
• 21:45
  like I'm unbroken for the whole thing.
• 21:46
  And I'm like, where am I?
• 21:47
  Like I rested about ten
• 21:49
  seconds before jumping onto
• 21:50
  the bar muscle up,
• 21:51
  rested about four or five
• 21:53
  seconds before picking up
• 21:53
  the last set of thrusters.
• 21:55
  But like in terms of the rest, I was like,
• 21:58
  that's basically my my speed
• 22:00
  and then I started looking
• 22:01
  at even just like the style
• 22:02
  of bar muscle ups that
• 22:03
  people do at the highest
• 22:04
  level and I I play around
• 22:07
  with it but there's two
• 22:09
  different styles that you
• 22:10
  see and it's like the one
• 22:11
  where you do a bar muscle
• 22:12
  up and you kind of rest
• 22:14
  your hips on the bar and
• 22:14
  you make contact and then
• 22:16
  it's the one where you kind
• 22:17
  of like lock out and your
• 22:18
  hips don't touch and you
• 22:19
  don't really have a support
• 22:20
  position but you just kind of fall back
• 22:23
  And it just seems like
• 22:24
  everyone that has like
• 22:25
  really fast scores are able
• 22:26
  to sustain that style under fatigue.
• 22:30
  And when I get fatigue,
• 22:31
  I have trouble doing that.
• 22:33
  And for most people,
• 22:34
  they won't understand what
• 22:35
  I'm talking about, but the elites,
• 22:37
  like we definitely know what,
• 22:38
  like what that looks like.
• 22:40
  And yeah,
• 22:42
  Yeah.
• 22:42
  It's something that I want to work on.
• 22:43
  I don't like that style of bar muscle up.
• 22:45
  I find it's kind of cheating.
• 22:46
  If I'm being honest,
• 22:47
  I feel like it's not a supported position,
• 22:49
  but people have been doing
• 22:51
  it the last year or two.
• 22:52
  And if you're not doing it,
• 22:53
  you're falling behind.
• 22:54
  Yeah.
• 22:54
  Because it's, it's significantly faster.
• 22:59
  It's, it's just,
• 23:00
  it's small details like
• 23:01
  that at the top that make a
• 23:03
  huge difference.
• 23:04
  And it's, it's crazy, but yeah,
• 23:07
  I don't like the movement
• 23:10
  that it's gone to.
• 23:12
  but it's faster.
• 23:14
  Yeah.
• 23:15
  It's just like that time
• 23:16
  under tension with all the movements,
• 23:18
  right?
• 23:18
  Like if you are that little bit faster,
• 23:21
  you saved that much time
• 23:24
  under tension and fatigue.
• 23:25
  And so I'm going to,
• 23:30
  I'm going to move on to
• 23:31
  finish wrapping this up.
• 23:32
  Colton and Miriam one for
• 23:34
  the second week in a row.
• 23:37
  Lex in the comments on my
• 23:39
  Friday lunch show said,
• 23:41
  that if CrossFit does not do
• 23:43
  a head-to-head with Colton
• 23:45
  and Miriam next year,
• 23:47
  they are missing out.
• 23:48
  They have to.
• 23:51
  I don't think anyone would
• 23:52
  beat their score from the announcement.
• 23:54
  If they pick the right
• 23:55
  workout that was some sort
• 23:59
  of squatting pattern and a
• 24:02
  burpee or something like that,
• 24:03
  there's no one better in
• 24:04
  the sport right now than those two.
• 24:06
  And it's not even close.
• 24:10
  And she would push Colton as
• 24:12
  much as he would push her.
• 24:14
  It would be a battle.
• 24:15
  And I think they would both enjoy it.
• 24:17
  I agree.
• 24:18
  I'd love to see it.
• 24:21
  Yeah.
• 24:24
  What blew me away, first of all,
• 24:25
  is that Mal's record of
• 24:27
  four eleven stood.
• 24:29
  Well, it's really Tia's.
• 24:32
  Tia was faster.
• 24:32
  She just had a small false start.
• 24:35
  They gave Tia a five second penalty.
• 24:37
  Tia had a four Oh seven or
• 24:39
  something like that.
• 24:41
  And they gave her a five
• 24:42
  second penalty for like a
• 24:44
  half a second false start.
• 24:46
  Well, really, if you look at,
• 24:48
  if you look at her video, like it's not a,
• 24:50
  it's not a five second penalty,
• 24:52
  like in reality.
• 24:52
  So it's like Tia's time from
• 24:54
  that is crazy along with miles.
• 24:58
  And for that to hold up, it's nuts.
• 25:01
  And if you watch Colton's video,
• 25:04
  I don't know where he gains
• 25:05
  any time to get sub four.
• 25:08
  I know.
• 25:08
  Didn't he trip a double under?
• 25:11
  Not on his final one.
• 25:13
  There wasn't a miss.
• 25:15
  There wasn't.
• 25:16
  I think when I look back on Tia's video,
• 25:18
  he's not very fast going.
• 25:20
  Well, he is fast,
• 25:20
  but he's not as fast going to the rope.
• 25:23
  Tia would finish the movement,
• 25:25
  pick up the rope,
• 25:26
  and right away go into her double-unders.
• 25:28
  If you go back and watch the
• 25:29
  head-to-head of her and Mal,
• 25:31
  it was feet on the ground, rope,
• 25:34
  and right away.
• 25:35
  Colton would land,
• 25:37
  walk to the skipping rope, turn,
• 25:39
  and then begin.
• 25:40
  Right there,
• 25:41
  if he just did what Tia was
• 25:43
  able to do a few years ago,
• 25:45
  he would be subbed for.
• 25:46
  Just on the skipping.
• 25:48
  That's where he loses his time.
• 25:49
  There's no time to make up
• 25:50
  on his thrusters.
• 25:51
  There's no time to make up anywhere else.
• 25:52
  But the way he picks up his
• 25:54
  rope is not as efficient as it could be.
• 25:58
  So because we had double winners,
• 26:01
  both on the men's and women's side,
• 26:03
  our stats and information person,
• 26:04
  and this is kind of spread
• 26:05
  around spin used it.
• 26:07
  Holly put it out there.
• 26:09
  I talked about it on the lunch show,
• 26:11
  but we had twenty five
• 26:12
  different divisions,
• 26:14
  including our very own
• 26:15
  Carolyn Prevost in the
• 26:16
  women's thirty five to thirty nine.
• 26:19
  When both event twenty five
• 26:22
  point one and twenty five point two.
• 26:24
  That's twenty five divisions, age group,
• 26:27
  adaptive and elites.
• 26:30
  Does that is that a telling
• 26:33
  sign for the program?
• 26:35
  I got a lot of comments that
• 26:37
  said you can't tell if the
• 26:40
  about the programming just
• 26:41
  by the winners.
• 26:43
  But twenty five divisions is
• 26:46
  just over an overwhelming number for me.
• 26:52
  And I can pull up her graph
• 26:54
  just so everybody can see it.
• 26:56
  I mean,
• 26:56
  I think in some of those adaptive
• 26:58
  divisions,
• 26:59
  that's probably going to be the
• 27:02
  case for a lot of workouts anyway.
• 27:04
  I feel like you have
• 27:06
  outliers in those divisions.
• 27:07
  I do agree with that.
• 27:11
  I agree with that.
• 27:12
  If it was just the adaptive
• 27:14
  where this happened, okay.
• 27:15
  Right.
• 27:17
  But with twenty five across,
• 27:18
  you had six and actually
• 27:21
  there's one outlier score
• 27:22
  that shouldn't exist in the
• 27:23
  sixty five to sixty nine or
• 27:25
  it would be twenty six.
• 27:28
  On the women's side.
• 27:30
  And Denise Moore pointed that out to me.
• 27:33
  Interesting.
• 27:34
  We got a random score input
• 27:36
  that didn't get fixed or something.
• 27:38
  It's one of those that make
• 27:39
  no sense where they're like
• 27:41
  ten thousandth in the other event.
• 27:45
  whatever it's like her tie
• 27:46
  break or something yeah
• 27:47
  right and so it's it breaks
• 27:49
  up this one person would
• 27:50
  have had a double win but
• 27:53
  anyway we had six in the h
• 27:54
  group we had the two elites
• 27:56
  and then you had um all of
• 27:58
  these adaptives I still
• 28:03
  think they're very
• 28:04
  different tests though like
• 28:06
  I I think they're very
• 28:07
  different I think they're
• 28:10
  pretty different too
• 28:11
  which is crazy to think, right?
• 28:13
  Like it's crazy to look at all it.
• 28:15
  Like,
• 28:15
  I'd be curious to look at different years,
• 28:18
  but, and if that's happened, um, across,
• 28:21
  you know,
• 28:22
  just looking back on all the
• 28:23
  years of the open,
• 28:23
  how often this has been, but like,
• 28:27
  I think it does definitely
• 28:28
  program the shorter athletes in general.
• 28:32
  Are there anomalies?
• 28:32
  Yes.
• 28:33
  I mean,
• 28:34
  Tia can be an anomaly at the game
• 28:36
  sometimes for what people
• 28:37
  shouldn't be good at,
• 28:38
  but she's just good at everything.
• 28:40
  Um,
• 28:42
  like, you know,
• 28:42
  Dallin and Hopper doing so
• 28:44
  well as bigger athletes.
• 28:45
  Like they're not the norm
• 28:47
  necessarily for some of those workouts,
• 28:49
  but I still think they're
• 28:52
  vastly different tests.
• 28:57
  I just thought it was like one.
• 29:00
  This is why Holly's awesome
• 29:01
  because she's the one that found this.
• 29:03
  Like she wasn't prompted by this.
• 29:04
  She put this together herself.
• 29:06
  That's why she's the best.
• 29:08
  That's why we love her.
• 29:10
  I thought it made a great
• 29:11
  talking point for sure.
• 29:12
  At the very least,
• 29:13
  it's just a talking point.
• 29:14
  Yeah.
• 29:15
  I'm not trying to like sit,
• 29:17
  I'm not trying to make a
• 29:17
  definitive statement about
• 29:19
  the programming or anything
• 29:20
  like that with it, but it makes you say,
• 29:23
  Hmm.
• 29:24
  Right.
• 29:24
  Like the old Arsenio hall,
• 29:26
  things that make you go, Hmm.
• 29:27
  Yep.
• 29:27
  For sure.
• 29:29
  Yeah, that was it.
• 29:31
  I just,
• 29:31
  and I wanted to get your reaction to it.
• 29:34
  Um,
• 29:34
  and congratulate Carolyn for being one
• 29:36
  of the people who actually
• 29:39
  did that winning both it's
• 29:41
  pretty impressive and I
• 29:43
  know that that you are more
• 29:46
  impressed by your elite
• 29:47
  standing than where you are
• 29:50
  in the Masters division but
• 29:51
  you're killing thirty-five
• 29:52
  to thirty-nine there's
• 29:56
  there's a few in that
• 29:57
  division that are killing
• 29:58
  it rich running Junior's
• 30:02
  doing pretty good
• 30:04
  Kristen Halter.
• 30:06
  I'll be curious to see if
• 30:06
  she does the age group masters as well.
• 30:11
  Agreed.
• 30:12
  Yeah.
• 30:14
  If she'll make the trip over.
• 30:16
  Corey says, as it turns out,
• 30:17
  Carolyn is fit.
• 30:19
  That's what I said.
• 30:20
  When you're fit, you're fit.
• 30:21
  Like that's,
• 30:21
  that's what the programming tells me.
• 30:24
  And that,
• 30:24
  this is the frustrating part is
• 30:25
  that it's all going to mean nothing.
• 30:27
  It's just going to like, like, like, like,
• 30:28
  like, like, like, like, like, like, like,
• 30:45
  the high skill high weights
• 30:47
  and then you just have to
• 30:48
  be good enough to get
• 30:49
  through the open and then
• 30:52
  you get only six events and
• 30:53
  you can hide a lot in six
• 30:54
  events but if you put all
• 30:56
  of those together and I've
• 30:56
  repeated it how many times
• 30:58
  now into eight to ten
• 31:00
  events you can have one bad
• 31:02
  event but you're gonna get
• 31:04
  the better athlete overall
• 31:06
  you have to be good at all
• 31:07
  style of workouts and it's
• 31:08
  just sad that this
• 31:10
  literally means nothing in
• 31:12
  the grand scheme of screen
• 31:13
  scheme of things so
• 31:14
  I'm just glad that Dave has heard you,
• 31:19
  that other athletes have heard that,
• 31:23
  and that hopefully that
• 31:24
  means that they may move in
• 31:26
  a direction where the Open
• 31:28
  will truly matter.
• 31:29
  That way, if the scores move forward,
• 31:33
  the Open then matters.
• 31:35
  And you only do it for the top one.
• 31:38
  You only compare all the
• 31:39
  scores for the one percent.
• 31:41
  You get rid of the ninety
• 31:42
  nine percent that affects
• 31:43
  the leaderboard.
• 31:44
  You open up the videos and boom,
• 31:46
  like it's it's done.
• 31:47
  Like you actually look
• 31:48
  through thoroughly through, you know,
• 31:50
  multiple videos of of the
• 31:52
  top athletes and you get
• 31:53
  the most well-rounded to move forward.
• 31:56
  Because like it shouldn't
• 31:58
  just be a high skill heavyweights.
• 32:02
  Like these tests are still
• 32:03
  very valuable tests and
• 32:05
  they're tests that we all
• 32:06
  took together against each other.
• 32:10
  You know,
• 32:10
  making it two hundredth and then
• 32:12
  being good after that is to me,
• 32:14
  you have holes.
• 32:15
  You have holes in your fitness.
• 32:16
  Right.
• 32:18
  Larry Young,
• 32:19
  we know that he likes some
• 32:21
  heavier barbells in the open.
• 32:23
  What really frustrates him is lazy,
• 32:25
  not well-rounded
• 32:26
  programming is always
• 32:27
  covered up by the cream
• 32:28
  will rise to the top or it won't matter.
• 32:31
  The one percent will be fine.
• 32:33
  Well, guess what?
• 32:33
  It matters to the ninety nine percent.
• 32:39
  Yeah, some of the ninety nine, I mean,
• 32:41
  some of that ninety nine percent care,
• 32:42
  I would say for sure, like.
• 32:45
  The ninety eight sounds like
• 32:46
  me ten years ago.
• 32:48
  Really cares.
• 32:49
  Like ten years ago, I was like,
• 32:51
  where's the heavy barbell?
• 32:52
  Where's where's my back squat?
• 32:54
  Where's my like?
• 32:55
  Because those are the things
• 32:56
  I could crush.
• 32:57
  Give me a bench press in the open.
• 32:59
  Blah, blah, blah.
• 32:59
  Right.
• 33:00
  So I like I was Larry ten years ago.
• 33:05
  Now it doesn't matter to me
• 33:06
  as much because my fitness
• 33:07
  isn't where it was ten years ago.
• 33:09
  But I.
• 33:12
  but I understand where he's coming from.
• 33:14
  When you have a strength and
• 33:15
  you never get to show it, it sucks.
• 33:19
  Yeah, and that's why, like,
• 33:20
  every competition is program dependent.
• 33:22
  Yeah.
• 33:22
  Which is why, like,
• 33:24
  I think by adding everything,
• 33:25
  it just makes more sense.
• 33:26
  Because let's say if you
• 33:27
  want to throw a heavy clean
• 33:29
  in the open and all of a
• 33:30
  sudden you see the snatch
• 33:31
  in the semifinals, well,
• 33:33
  then you've tested both and
• 33:34
  you get both scores to matter.
• 33:36
  And, you know,
• 33:37
  at the semis you can get
• 33:38
  lucky and let's say you
• 33:39
  have a really good snatch
• 33:40
  but not as much of a squat clean.
• 33:42
  You get punished against
• 33:43
  your peers in the squat clean.
• 33:46
  Well,
• 33:47
  you just got like lucky on the
• 33:49
  programming that it
• 33:50
  happened to be snatched and
• 33:51
  then you pull through.
• 33:52
  But by adding everything together,
• 33:54
  like there's just less
• 33:57
  holes that you can kind of hide.
• 34:00
  Like you're going to get
• 34:00
  something somewhere,
• 34:02
  whether it's the open or semis.
• 34:03
  And like I said,
• 34:03
  the well-rounded ones will
• 34:05
  be good at all.
• 34:06
  going to try to say what
• 34:07
  larry's saying in a way
• 34:09
  that makes sense ten years
• 34:11
  ago I was never gonna like
• 34:13
  do well enough in the open
• 34:14
  to make a difference in
• 34:16
  like semis or quarters or
• 34:18
  any of that stuff right but
• 34:20
  I could compete locally and
• 34:22
  maybe I couldn't do all the
• 34:24
  rx movements so I signed up
• 34:25
  for scaled the only time
• 34:27
  the only thing that ever
• 34:28
  happens to a scaled workout
• 34:29
  at a local comp is they
• 34:31
  decrease the weights
• 34:33
  If it's loaded.
• 34:34
  If it's gymnastics,
• 34:35
  you decrease the volume first,
• 34:36
  and then you decrease the movement.
• 34:39
  If I can't do a chest-to-bar,
• 34:42
  I can't do a chest... It
• 34:45
  was very frustrating that
• 34:46
  they would not scale the
• 34:49
  gymnastics as much as they
• 34:51
  scaled the weight.
• 34:54
  And that was very frustrating as someone.
• 34:56
  And that's why I,
• 34:58
  that's why the name of this
• 34:59
  show is Clydesdale media.
• 35:00
  I thought they should have a
• 35:01
  Clydesdale division for
• 35:02
  people like Larry and I,
• 35:04
  who want it to be,
• 35:06
  want it a little bit more
• 35:07
  strength focused and less.
• 35:09
  It's called power lifting or
• 35:11
  Olympic lifting stuff.
• 35:13
  Like if you look at the
• 35:14
  bottom of the pyramid, but like, yeah,
• 35:19
  I want to do all this stuff.
• 35:20
  I just,
• 35:22
  I'm not fast enough to compete with
• 35:23
  anybody.
• 35:24
  Stop lifting and get better
• 35:25
  at pull-ups and burpees.
• 35:28
  Never, ever, no matter how much I train it,
• 35:34
  I'm never going to be
• 35:35
  faster than Charlie at a burpee.
• 35:41
  I'm just not.
• 35:42
  But I think the way that, you know,
• 35:44
  CrossFit and Greg Glassman
• 35:46
  has done the pyramid makes
• 35:47
  the most sense is it's like
• 35:49
  your metabolic conditioning is, you know,
• 35:51
  the base nutrition and
• 35:53
  that's the base of the pyramid.
• 35:54
  And then it's like
• 35:55
  controlling your own body
• 35:56
  weight prior to adding, you know,
• 35:58
  external load with
• 35:59
  weightlifting and throwing.
• 36:01
  Like to me,
• 36:02
  that progression kind of makes
• 36:04
  sense because it's like if
• 36:05
  you don't have control of
• 36:06
  your body without weight, like
• 36:09
  kind of like you earn the
• 36:09
  weight a little bit um and
• 36:12
  it's not like it's not like
• 36:14
  it's not tested like it's
• 36:15
  things are still heavy
• 36:16
  enough it's like people can
• 36:17
  go faster too if it's if it's so easy yes
• 36:23
  but they can't because they
• 36:24
  lack the capacity engine wise.
• 36:27
  I am not saying I don't want
• 36:28
  to get better at my weaknesses.
• 36:30
  I am not saying that at all.
• 36:32
  I'm just saying that there's,
• 36:33
  there's no place for us to
• 36:35
  play where we get to like
• 36:37
  show off what we can do.
• 36:39
  Well, that that's all I'm saying.
• 36:42
  I don't want to go do power lifting.
• 36:43
  I like doing this stuff.
• 36:45
  I know that I'm not great at
• 36:46
  burpees and I want to get better.
• 36:49
  I want to do better.
• 36:50
  but let me play in a
• 36:52
  different division while
• 36:53
  I'm trying to get there.
• 36:55
  That's all.
• 36:57
  But I think that's the, like,
• 36:58
  for the most part, that's the,
• 37:00
  like a scale division in
• 37:02
  terms of there's people
• 37:03
  that have holes either in the gymnastics,
• 37:05
  the capacity or the weights.
• 37:08
  Like CrossFit is about being
• 37:09
  well-rounded and not being
• 37:11
  necessarily like a
• 37:12
  specialist on one side.
• 37:14
  So until you are able to
• 37:16
  adequately be good at all
• 37:18
  three of those and be able
• 37:19
  to do the movements, you know,
• 37:22
  with more speed and RX,
• 37:23
  I think if you have a
• 37:25
  deficiency in any one of
• 37:26
  those three things,
• 37:29
  you're staying for the most
• 37:31
  part in the scale division longer.
• 37:32
  Yeah.
• 37:35
  Yeah.
• 37:38
  Scott's not going to agree.
• 37:40
  I feel like this workout
• 37:42
  point three was pretty good
• 37:43
  example of that.
• 37:43
  Like I have,
• 37:45
  I have athletes that are like
• 37:49
  Scott and I have athletes
• 37:50
  that are more like me, but even,
• 37:53
  but even less strong.
• 37:54
  And I,
• 37:55
  They're great at the getting
• 37:57
  through the wall walks,
• 37:58
  but the barbell crushes
• 38:00
  them and they're there for three minutes.
• 38:01
  Well,
• 38:01
  my other person is on the wall for
• 38:03
  three minutes,
• 38:03
  just trying to get through
• 38:04
  five fricking wall walks,
• 38:05
  but then they come over to
• 38:06
  the barbell and get it done in a minute.
• 38:07
  Like what's weird.
• 38:09
  I mean, it, it, what it shouldn't matter,
• 38:11
  Scott is like,
• 38:12
  if it really is that easy for you,
• 38:15
  you should be able to walk
• 38:15
  up to that barbell and do
• 38:16
  all and walk and not be
• 38:18
  that fatigued from it and
• 38:19
  go back over and start
• 38:20
  moving through those wall walks.
• 38:21
  what I noticed is typical
• 38:23
  and this is how what
• 38:25
  usually happens is the the
• 38:28
  weaker person usually can
• 38:30
  get further because they
• 38:31
  have a better engine the
• 38:34
  other like the stronger
• 38:35
  people just just stop
• 38:36
  moving they just even
• 38:38
  though it's they say it's
• 38:39
  light for them they're
• 38:40
  still not even moving that
• 38:42
  that fast so like yeah I
• 38:45
  thought I thought this
• 38:46
  workout really there was
• 38:47
  something for everyone to chew on like
• 38:50
  like I saw someone today
• 38:52
  that's super strong on the barbell.
• 38:53
  And like you said,
• 38:53
  like still was gassed and, you know,
• 38:56
  obviously the wall walks
• 38:57
  became very difficult there,
• 38:58
  but then wasn't able to
• 39:00
  attack the strength part.
• 39:01
  Like he would normally,
• 39:03
  because he's gassed
• 39:05
  shoulder wise or just
• 39:06
  engine wise and has that limitation.
• 39:08
  And I think that, you know, again,
• 39:11
  someone that could pull
• 39:11
  very easily on the rower,
• 39:12
  but then it kind of blows
• 39:13
  up your heart rate a little bit.
• 39:14
  And yeah,
• 39:16
  I think it was nicely balanced.
• 39:18
  It wasn't super light
• 39:20
  because there are people
• 39:21
  that were struggling with those weights.
• 39:23
  And if it is light, you can move faster,
• 39:25
  but people weren't.
• 39:27
  So I liked it.
• 39:28
  I think it's a nice finisher.
• 39:30
  And for the open,
• 39:32
  I think it completes a little bit better,
• 39:34
  the test.
• 39:35
  Because it's hard after two
• 39:36
  weeks to judge the test.
• 39:39
  But when you have all three
• 39:40
  workouts together, it's better for sure.
• 39:46
  This is way off.
• 39:46
  I mean, we're way off subject for this.
• 39:49
  And maybe this is a topic
• 39:51
  for another night.
• 39:54
  But it is a good segue into
• 39:56
  twenty five point three for me.
• 39:59
  And what I'll say is so I
• 40:00
  did twenty five point three today.
• 40:03
  I'm fifty five,
• 40:03
  so I've moved up to that
• 40:05
  geezer division and all the
• 40:07
  weights got dropped.
• 40:08
  Yeah.
• 40:09
  Like almost to a ridiculous level for me.
• 40:12
  Yes.
• 40:13
  Right.
• 40:15
  my biggest fear and I
• 40:16
  actually was was texting
• 40:17
  with lana last night is my
• 40:20
  fear was like I have got to
• 40:22
  keep myself slow or I'm
• 40:25
  going to be dead on the
• 40:26
  highway part way through
• 40:28
  this workout like I
• 40:31
  literally am going to have
• 40:32
  to force myself to slow
• 40:34
  down so that I have the
• 40:40
  capacity to do the wall
• 40:41
  walk when I get back there
• 40:47
  And I was very happy with
• 40:49
  the way my workout went,
• 40:51
  but the weights were like so light.
• 40:57
  Like, one eighty five dead left for me.
• 41:00
  I did on purpose,
• 41:01
  I did sets of five just to pace it.
• 41:04
  And then for the cleans, I did singles,
• 41:07
  even though I didn't have to.
• 41:09
  I was trying to save my back.
• 41:10
  I was trying to save my wind.
• 41:14
  And then I made it through
• 41:15
  the snatches and I got two
• 41:18
  wall walks after the snatches.
• 41:20
  I almost made it back to the rower.
• 41:22
  Awesome.
• 41:23
  Which was great for me today.
• 41:25
  Yeah.
• 41:27
  Of course.
• 41:28
  Now I,
• 41:29
  now I wish I could have done
• 41:30
  something to get on the rower.
• 41:32
  Cause I did like the first row.
• 41:34
  I really paste it.
• 41:36
  Cause I did not want to come
• 41:37
  off of that sucking so bad
• 41:39
  and going into the rest of the stuff.
• 41:44
  And the five,
• 41:44
  the five deadlifts was Lana's idea.
• 41:46
  She was like, just do five at a time,
• 41:49
  step back, take your breath, go back,
• 41:51
  do five more.
• 41:53
  Um, but I was really happy.
• 41:58
  It's been a personal victory
• 41:59
  this year for me.
• 41:59
  I did two workouts, RX.
• 42:01
  I technically could have
• 42:03
  done the second one RX,
• 42:04
  but I chose to do it scaled
• 42:06
  and compete against my old score.
• 42:08
  Um,
• 42:10
  which I beat the highest
• 42:13
  I've finished since my back
• 42:14
  surgery is in the twelfth
• 42:15
  percentile going into this workout.
• 42:18
  I was at sixteen and I'm
• 42:20
  hoping to get up a little
• 42:21
  bit more after this workout
• 42:23
  because I think I did
• 42:24
  pretty good in my division.
• 42:29
  So I was really happy with this workout.
• 42:31
  It was a personal victory.
• 42:33
  And to me,
• 42:34
  I know it was like a shit show
• 42:35
  with all the barbells.
• 42:37
  I actually had fun with this workout.
• 42:40
  I had to strategize.
• 42:41
  I had to think about it.
• 42:42
  I had to implement the plan
• 42:45
  and for not being an elite athlete,
• 42:46
  I got to play.
• 42:49
  I got to play today.
• 42:50
  So, um, so I was really stoked for that.
• 42:55
  Yeah,
• 42:56
  I saw people do different versions at
• 42:58
  my gym.
• 43:00
  The foundation one,
• 43:01
  just like even like the
• 43:03
  bear crawl version was
• 43:06
  challenging to a few of my
• 43:07
  members that were super
• 43:08
  proud of just completing that.
• 43:10
  And it just gives them
• 43:11
  different ideas for when
• 43:12
  wall walks are there.
• 43:13
  It's like, you know.
• 43:15
  Change your scaling to this
• 43:16
  maybe sometimes to work on
• 43:18
  that and just different
• 43:19
  ways that you can scale the
• 43:21
  wall walks and throughout
• 43:22
  the year to to increase.
• 43:25
  Right.
• 43:25
  Like you don't want to be
• 43:25
  doing the same scales all
• 43:27
  the time because eventually
• 43:28
  you just resort and you're not.
• 43:30
  you're not improving.
• 43:32
  Um, so it's like, Hey, like, you know,
• 43:34
  sometimes do the bear, the bear walk line,
• 43:36
  sometimes do the modified
• 43:38
  wall walk distance at what
• 43:39
  age group do you think it should change?
• 43:41
  Like, cause I had a, I had a lady that, um,
• 43:45
  goes to my gym and she just
• 43:46
  moved away now and she's in
• 43:47
  the sixty five plus.
• 43:49
  And, you know,
• 43:50
  she was hoping to do the
• 43:51
  wall walks the way it was written.
• 43:54
  Um,
• 43:54
  do we feel like it should have been all
• 43:57
  the way through or is it like,
• 44:00
  at sixty five and above
• 44:01
  maybe is when it should and
• 44:02
  maybe just decrease the
• 44:03
  load at certain like I I
• 44:06
  was shocked that RX fifty
• 44:08
  five plus was scaled wall
• 44:10
  walks I don't know if they
• 44:12
  were really hung up on
• 44:13
  leaving the numbers the
• 44:14
  same this week or what but
• 44:16
  I don't know why it wasn't
• 44:17
  just like three wall walks
• 44:18
  for master for masters I
• 44:21
  had been doing a lot of
• 44:21
  progressions trying to get
• 44:23
  my full wall walk back and
• 44:25
  I and I was confident that
• 44:27
  I could have done it this weekend but
• 44:30
  What was crazy to me is I thought I was,
• 44:32
  I think last time I did wall walks,
• 44:34
  cause I didn't do the open last year.
• 44:36
  I had to do the, the scaled on a sixty,
• 44:38
  the sixty inch line.
• 44:40
  And for fifty five plus,
• 44:41
  they moved the men back to
• 44:42
  the fifty five inch line.
• 44:43
  Exactly.
• 44:44
  They were so much easier.
• 44:47
  Like, not only did they scale it,
• 44:49
  but then they scaled it
• 44:50
  back even further for the men.
• 44:52
  Right.
• 44:53
  And nothing for the,
• 44:54
  which doesn't make sense
• 44:55
  cause it doesn't change for the women.
• 44:57
  Nope.
• 44:58
  so I wonder if that was like
• 45:00
  a typo or something because
• 45:01
  that makes no sense all of
• 45:03
  scale all scaled there if
• 45:05
  you looked scaled wall walk
• 45:07
  was only a fifty five inch
• 45:08
  line interesting and aaron
• 45:11
  and I said the same thing
• 45:11
  we're like I wonder if it's
• 45:12
  always been that way and
• 45:13
  we've just always
• 45:14
  overlooked that in the past
• 45:16
  and we just always make our
• 45:17
  scale people use either the
• 45:18
  men's or women's line
• 45:21
  And I wouldn't even have
• 45:21
  noticed if Jim wouldn't
• 45:22
  have brought it to my attention.
• 45:23
  He was like, in my master's Facebook group,
• 45:26
  they're all talking about
• 45:26
  we get to use a fifty five inch line.
• 45:28
  And I was like, what?
• 45:29
  No way.
• 45:30
  And I pull and I'm like, look through.
• 45:31
  I'm like, sure is crazy.
• 45:34
  Lana brought it to my
• 45:35
  attention last night or I would I would.
• 45:37
  Well,
• 45:37
  I'm sure my gym would have had it right.
• 45:39
  But like going in,
• 45:40
  I thought I had to do the
• 45:41
  sixty because last time I
• 45:42
  did it with my short arms,
• 45:44
  it was like out in front of
• 45:45
  me and it was so hard.
• 45:49
  I didn't, I didn't see that part of, um,
• 45:52
  I didn't judge anyone this
• 45:53
  weekend that was doing the
• 45:55
  scaled version.
• 45:56
  So I didn't even clue in on that,
• 45:58
  that had gone closer and
• 46:00
  it's the same for the men and women.
• 46:02
  That's, that's silly.
• 46:03
  Yeah.
• 46:04
  But to answer your question, Carolyn, I,
• 46:06
  as much as it benefited me
• 46:07
  this year to do the lower weights and,
• 46:10
  um,
• 46:11
  And I know that's
• 46:12
  contradictory to what I was
• 46:13
  just saying five minutes ago.
• 46:15
  It did make my open easier
• 46:16
  to do this year.
• 46:17
  I will say that.
• 46:18
  And I've heard like if I
• 46:19
  would add the heavier weights,
• 46:20
  I wouldn't have gone as fast.
• 46:21
  But I think that's a better
• 46:23
  workout for you.
• 46:24
  It's a more appropriate
• 46:25
  workout for you versus
• 46:26
  waiting there and being
• 46:27
  kind of stopped by the movement.
• 46:29
  You get to play and get to
• 46:31
  your heart rate elevated and.
• 46:33
  And I think that's where the
• 46:34
  tough part for like a Dave
• 46:36
  Castro or a boss is because yes,
• 46:39
  it made mine easier,
• 46:40
  but I've been around
• 46:43
  masters athletes at the
• 46:44
  games level that that was a
• 46:45
  joke in the fifty five to
• 46:50
  fifty nine that the scaled
• 46:51
  wall walks were a joke for
• 46:53
  a hundred percent.
• 46:56
  And so like,
• 46:57
  but how do you fix that with
• 46:59
  it with two hundred thousand people?
• 47:06
  I don't know.
• 47:07
  I don't know.
• 47:08
  I don't know why it just
• 47:09
  wasn't fewer reps.
• 47:10
  Like they should be doing
• 47:11
  full wall walks like that.
• 47:14
  You don't scale the wall walk for RX.
• 47:18
  I don't care how old you are.
• 47:19
  You do it.
• 47:19
  You just do a few less.
• 47:20
  Like I get it.
• 47:21
  The feet, the mobility isn't there.
• 47:22
  They're not awesome.
• 47:23
  It's really like fatiguing
• 47:24
  on their shoulders because
• 47:25
  they're slow at it,
• 47:26
  but you just do fewer reps.
• 47:28
  And then,
• 47:31
  and then the scaled is the scaled
• 47:33
  wall walk.
• 47:37
  I mean, if I'm if I'm fifty five plus,
• 47:38
  I'm like, well,
• 47:39
  at least my shoulders are
• 47:40
  saved for semis.
• 47:43
  Right.
• 47:47
  Yeah.
• 47:56
  And then there's the argument of like,
• 47:57
  if it's easy, then go faster.
• 47:59
  Right.
• 47:59
  Like it's you'll have a
• 48:01
  different stimulus of a workout.
• 48:03
  Yeah.
• 48:04
  Yeah.
• 48:06
  Oh, so how did you,
• 48:08
  what did you guys feel
• 48:09
  about the elite version?
• 48:11
  We'll get out of the skis or
• 48:12
  division and into the
• 48:14
  elites and the open division.
• 48:17
  How did you feel about the
• 48:18
  workout as a whole?
• 48:20
  I think it's a good workout.
• 48:23
  I think it's a good workout.
• 48:24
  I think this is a different
• 48:25
  workout for the men and women.
• 48:28
  Yeah.
• 48:30
  I mean, it's,
• 48:31
  They're going to have an
• 48:33
  easier time on the row,
• 48:34
  so they're going to be beating you there.
• 48:35
  But technically,
• 48:37
  I'd say the weight is a
• 48:38
  little more manageable for the women,
• 48:40
  so it should come back to the middle.
• 48:43
  I still think the men are going to win.
• 48:44
  Yeah, no females getting nine.
• 48:48
  Right.
• 48:49
  No, but I think, like you said,
• 48:52
  because the row is faster
• 48:54
  for the men and the weights,
• 48:56
  like the eighty five versus
• 48:58
  the one thirty five,
• 48:58
  let's say on the cleans.
• 49:00
  I just think like women in
• 49:01
  general for some of the
• 49:02
  weights are stronger at the
• 49:03
  top end of the sport,
• 49:04
  maybe not in the middle percentiles,
• 49:07
  but the top end percentiles.
• 49:10
  I think the barbell has a
• 49:11
  bigger factor on the
• 49:12
  women's side than than the men.
• 49:15
  And there's a lot of time to
• 49:16
  be made up in that middle
• 49:18
  for the woman versus the men.
• 49:22
  Yeah.
• 49:23
  I kind of wonder if more
• 49:23
  women won't be going like
• 49:25
  touch and go on some cleans.
• 49:26
  It's just not,
• 49:28
  it's not necessary for the men.
• 49:30
  I feel like, I think it's a terrible idea,
• 49:32
  but I did not go on broken on cleans, but,
• 49:36
  or like even I'd went all singles,
• 49:38
  but I do think maybe
• 49:40
  there's because it is a
• 49:41
  little bit lighter, um,
• 49:43
  probably could handle some
• 49:45
  touch and go reps there and
• 49:47
  be okay and speed that up.
• 49:49
  I mean,
• 49:49
  I feel like that's where the
• 49:50
  workout started was the cleans.
• 49:52
  And it was really about who
• 49:52
  wanted to stay disciplined there.
• 49:59
  It's a good workout.
• 50:00
  It's challenging.
• 50:01
  There's engine wise, arms wise, guts, just,
• 50:06
  you know,
• 50:08
  how bad you want to hurt type thing.
• 50:10
  For me, back and hamstrings, my God,
• 50:13
  you're just picking
• 50:13
  something off the floor a lot.
• 50:15
  Yeah,
• 50:16
  I heard a lot of the people today at
• 50:17
  the gym saying,
• 50:19
  is your back sore type thing?
• 50:21
  Just kind of talking to each other.
• 50:25
  I can definitely see that.
• 50:27
  My back feels great.
• 50:29
  My hamstrings are lit.
• 50:32
  We had three of the best do
• 50:33
  the open announcement.
• 50:35
  It's proving that by a long shot,
• 50:39
  they are the three best.
• 50:44
  What are your overall
• 50:45
  thoughts about the open announcement?
• 50:51
  The fact I knew the workouts?
• 50:52
  Or... Are we just going to ignore that?
• 51:01
  Honestly, when I found the workout out,
• 51:03
  I went back to Pedro's show
• 51:04
  and I was like,
• 51:05
  I sent that to Lex and I was like,
• 51:07
  this is a joke.
• 51:08
  I'm like, this is ridiculous.
• 51:12
  Um...
• 51:14
  Yeah, I mean, I don't love that.
• 51:18
  They can go and pretend and
• 51:20
  maybe change the order of
• 51:21
  the movements during the
• 51:22
  Pedro show to pretend that
• 51:23
  they don't know the workouts,
• 51:24
  but come on.
• 51:26
  On their own podcast,
• 51:27
  they really tried a big cover-up.
• 51:30
  They for sure trying to cover up.
• 51:31
  Um, they knew,
• 51:32
  they knew the damn workouts.
• 51:34
  I don't know for how long, but yeah.
• 51:37
  Um, dumb, the show, everything amazing.
• 51:41
  Loved it.
• 51:41
  Um, they put on a great show.
• 51:45
  Their performance was amazing.
• 51:47
  Um,
• 51:49
  Yeah, like it was a battle between them.
• 51:52
  And then you just got to witness, you know,
• 51:53
  we knew right away when
• 51:54
  that workout was out that
• 51:55
  that was going to be three solid scores.
• 51:57
  Like you just knew.
• 51:59
  Like you couldn't have
• 51:59
  picked better athletes
• 52:00
  probably to do that
• 52:02
  announcement than those guys.
• 52:03
  And then to add Travis in there was cool.
• 52:07
  Yeah, I loved that Tyson announced.
• 52:09
  Sorry, Tyson.
• 52:11
  No, I like that Tyson did it.
• 52:13
  I love that Travis was announcing.
• 52:15
  I loved that.
• 52:16
  Sorry, I just got their names mixed up.
• 52:18
  It is Tyson, right?
• 52:19
  Which one is it?
• 52:20
  Tyson's a quarterback.
• 52:22
  Travis is the former games announcer.
• 52:24
  Okay, I was like, did I make up a name?
• 52:25
  No.
• 52:25
  Okay.
• 52:26
  Travis is the dad.
• 52:28
  Tyson's the son.
• 52:29
  Okay.
• 52:31
  I thought it was cool they
• 52:32
  had Travis in the booth
• 52:34
  with his son out on the
• 52:35
  floor by himself at that point,
• 52:37
  really cheering on and
• 52:38
  saying how proud he was
• 52:39
  that he had the balls to go
• 52:41
  out and do it.
• 52:43
  Yeah, and he sent it at first.
• 52:45
  Damn.
• 52:46
  Yeah.
• 52:47
  I kind of wish he wouldn't
• 52:48
  have because I would like
• 52:49
  to see what his score would
• 52:50
  have been done properly.
• 52:53
  Huh?
• 52:55
  He said he's redoing it.
• 52:57
  I would hope so because that was a...
• 53:00
  general gym goers time.
• 53:05
  He should be fitter than that.
• 53:07
  According to Beyond the
• 53:08
  Whiteboard prelim analysis,
• 53:10
  if you finished the workout,
• 53:12
  you were in the top
• 53:13
  seventy-fifth percentile.
• 53:16
  Let's say he was a minute
• 53:18
  and a half from there.
• 53:19
  Let's call it maybe in the
• 53:20
  eightieth percentile.
• 53:21
  Okay.
• 53:21
  Which is pretty good.
• 53:28
  For a first time, just knowing it there.
• 53:31
  Did you guys hear he waived
• 53:32
  his appearance fee?
• 53:33
  Yes.
• 53:35
  He waived his appearance fee to come.
• 53:37
  And in turn,
• 53:39
  that he could bring some of
• 53:40
  his boys with him to hang
• 53:42
  out with him during the
• 53:42
  open announcement.
• 53:44
  What do you mean by that?
• 53:45
  What is that?
• 53:46
  So as an NFL player,
• 53:48
  you typically get an
• 53:49
  appearance fee to go.
• 53:50
  Yeah, yeah.
• 53:50
  Most professional athletes do.
• 53:52
  Right.
• 53:52
  He waived that fee.
• 53:54
  So CrossFit paid nothing to
• 53:56
  have him there.
• 53:57
  He just wanted the ability
• 53:59
  to bring some of his
• 53:59
  friends with him to hang out.
• 54:02
  Gotcha.
• 54:02
  And CrossFit said, yes, sure thing.
• 54:07
  Yeah, that's good.
• 54:07
  That's awesome.
• 54:12
  Yeah,
• 54:12
  the echo rowers were interesting in
• 54:14
  the announcement.
• 54:17
  What else?
• 54:18
  Larry says he thinks he's buying one.
• 54:20
  I have one at my gym.
• 54:22
  They feel very similar.
• 54:25
  You know what?
• 54:26
  I don't know if you saw the Jason, Justin,
• 54:30
  Dallin podcast,
• 54:32
  but they said the best part
• 54:33
  of it is the wheels.
• 54:34
  Yeah, for sure.
• 54:35
  Well, yeah.
• 54:36
  Because it's easier to move.
• 54:38
  Yeah.
• 54:38
  It doesn't rattle around.
• 54:41
  Oh, yeah.
• 54:41
  No, it's much easier to move.
• 54:43
  It's just heavy.
• 54:45
  Um, it's, it's definitely heavier,
• 54:47
  but sturdier.
• 54:50
  Um,
• 54:50
  it would just be interesting to look at.
• 54:53
  I mean,
• 54:53
  it's supposed to be the exact same
• 54:55
  for the screen,
• 54:56
  like in terms of the way it
• 54:57
  counts calories.
• 55:00
  So did you guys watch the
• 55:01
  CrossFit behind the scenes
• 55:06
  of the open announcement?
• 55:07
  CrossFit put out a video
• 55:08
  behind the scenes of twenty
• 55:09
  five point three.
• 55:11
  Jason's wife.
• 55:12
  I think I watched that one.
• 55:13
  I think I watched Hillers
• 55:15
  behind the scenes.
• 55:15
  Yeah, I watched Hillers.
• 55:18
  Hillers is great.
• 55:20
  CrossFit's is really good, too.
• 55:21
  Like, really good.
• 55:26
  Their media is finally coming back strong.
• 55:29
  For sure.
• 55:31
  But Grace Ann, who is Jason's wife,
• 55:34
  figured out Dave's clue,
• 55:35
  like where he got it,
• 55:36
  where he took the picture,
• 55:38
  all of that stuff.
• 55:39
  Oh, yeah.
• 55:40
  Did you see it?
• 55:41
  Yes.
• 55:42
  Yeah.
• 55:42
  And it was,
• 55:43
  she was in the shower and she goes,
• 55:44
  Oh my gosh, this is where it was.
• 55:45
  And then they confronted
• 55:46
  Dave and he's like, yeah,
• 55:49
  I was in the shower and I saw it.
• 55:50
  And I was like, that's perfect.
• 55:51
  And he like hopped out of the shower,
• 55:53
  shower naked to go get his phone,
• 55:55
  to come back and take a picture.
• 55:56
  Oh boy.
• 55:58
  Yeah, that's good.
• 56:05
  Because Jason, one of them had posted,
• 56:08
  I think, on their Instagram,
• 56:09
  so I'd seen that.
• 56:09
  It's funny.
• 56:10
  Yeah, I'd seen Grace's,
• 56:12
  the picture or the video of
• 56:13
  Grace being like,
• 56:14
  this is where Dave took the photo.
• 56:20
  Yeah.
• 56:21
  Andrew Stanton says,
• 56:22
  if you watch Hillers behind the scenes,
• 56:23
  you'll see some of the old
• 56:24
  CrossFit media guys.
• 56:25
  Yeah,
• 56:25
  Tyson Ulroyd was doing a lot of the
• 56:28
  filming for the CrossFit
• 56:29
  behind the scenes.
• 56:32
  I mean,
• 56:32
  some of those guys from back in the
• 56:33
  day were just good at what they do.
• 56:36
  Him and Marshall Moore.
• 56:39
  Is it Marshall Moore?
• 56:40
  No.
• 56:41
  Mariah Moore.
• 56:42
  Mariah Moore.
• 56:43
  Like, they're just great at what they do.
• 56:45
  Yeah.
• 56:52
  Yeah.
• 56:55
  so yeah the the crossfit
• 56:58
  behind the scenes shows a
• 56:59
  lot of like hopper and
• 57:02
  sprague and dallin's
• 57:03
  personalities more than the
• 57:05
  hiller one um like dallin
• 57:08
  is doing this whole speech
• 57:09
  about yeah it's so cool to
• 57:11
  be here and like for jason
• 57:12
  and james like they get to
• 57:14
  they get to say they
• 57:14
  competed against me um in
• 57:16
  this event and that it
• 57:18
  would they just dog on each
• 57:20
  other the whole time and it
• 57:21
  is really really good
• 57:23
  Yeah,
• 57:24
  they've done a good job of promoting
• 57:28
  that announcement and all
• 57:29
  the before scenes and after
• 57:31
  scenes of everything.
• 57:33
  It was really well done this week.
• 57:35
  It's been well done every week, honestly.
• 57:38
  I think the media has been
• 57:39
  very successful in terms of
• 57:42
  things around the Open.
• 57:43
  And even prior to that,
• 57:44
  I think it's been
• 57:45
  definitely a huge step in
• 57:47
  the right direction for their media team.
• 57:50
  In the half hour before the announcement,
• 57:52
  they run all these vignettes.
• 57:54
  Yeah, I like that.
• 57:56
  Every athlete,
• 57:57
  they have a profile of the
• 57:58
  gym that they're doing it at.
• 58:00
  Like those are great.
• 58:02
  And then the cool down show
• 58:03
  is back for the first time
• 58:05
  in like five years.
• 58:07
  And unrehearsed,
• 58:09
  they get the James Pat
• 58:11
  Sprague show talking about
• 58:13
  how CrossFit saved their life.
• 58:15
  Like those are the little
• 58:17
  pieces that have been
• 58:19
  missing from the open
• 58:20
  announcements that I loved.
• 58:23
  I knew Pat Sprague before I
• 58:25
  knew James Sprague because
• 58:26
  of the Masters community.
• 58:31
  Knowing how he used CrossFit
• 58:33
  to conquer alcoholism and
• 58:35
  to save his life and to
• 58:36
  become a three-time games
• 58:37
  athlete is so cool.
• 58:42
  And those are the stories we
• 58:44
  need to tell more often.
• 58:47
  And as someone who had his
• 58:48
  own life saved by CrossFit,
• 58:50
  like that stuff tears me up instantly.
• 58:56
  Yeah.
• 58:59
  So.
• 59:01
  Yeah.
• 59:01
  And in both behind the scenes,
• 59:03
  you get to see Dave try to
• 59:04
  run a route and it may be
• 59:07
  the most unathletic wide
• 59:08
  receiver I've ever seen in my life.
• 59:11
  Yeah.
• 59:11
  Yeah.
• 59:11
  You can definitely tell who
• 59:12
  is more in their element there.
• 59:13
  Like Jason obviously played football.
• 59:15
  Dallin seems to be less of a,
• 59:18
  or more like risk advert type person.
• 59:22
  Like he's kind of just more
• 59:23
  sitting back and watching.
• 59:25
  Like he did a little bit,
• 59:26
  but I think he's more like
• 59:27
  focused on honestly kicking their butts.
• 59:32
  James was probably a lineman.
• 59:37
  He didn't look like he
• 59:37
  touched the ball very much
• 59:39
  when he played football.
• 59:42
  Jason, it's in his element.
• 59:44
  It's just more natural for
• 59:45
  him to go and play and
• 59:47
  probably be in that atmosphere.
• 59:48
  It brings out his manly ego
• 59:52
  side of the boys.
• 59:57
  It looked fun.
• 59:58
  It was good content.
• 1:00:03
  Entertaining.
• 1:00:06
  After all that good stuff,
• 1:00:08
  it's still an online competition.
• 1:00:10
  We still have to deal with all that
• 1:00:14
  If you go out and you look
• 1:00:16
  at the videos that are
• 1:00:17
  posted on some of these scores,
• 1:00:20
  we still have a mega problem to overcome.
• 1:00:24
  yeah like I sent you guys
• 1:00:26
  like I think like one of
• 1:00:27
  the first videos from like
• 1:00:28
  one of the overall girls
• 1:00:30
  that I was looking at like
• 1:00:32
  the tape measure is maybe
• 1:00:34
  three inches off the wall
• 1:00:36
  and then the ten that I
• 1:00:37
  guess it's in europe so it
• 1:00:40
  should be twenty five
• 1:00:41
  centimeters and it still
• 1:00:42
  wasn't even hidden twenty
• 1:00:42
  five centimeters and you
• 1:00:44
  could clearly see the tape
• 1:00:46
  measure is not even against
• 1:00:47
  the wall and the whole
• 1:00:48
  measurement of the whole
• 1:00:49
  wall walk is off and I'm like
• 1:00:52
  You're in one of the top
• 1:00:54
  positions worldwide.
• 1:00:55
  Like, come on now.
• 1:00:58
  Is that score still up?
• 1:01:00
  Yeah.
• 1:01:00
  Still there?
• 1:01:02
  Yeah.
• 1:01:03
  And then the wall walk,
• 1:01:05
  I just don't like the standard.
• 1:01:07
  I thought Rogue did a really
• 1:01:08
  good job when they did the
• 1:01:10
  wall walk complex.
• 1:01:11
  It's like,
• 1:01:11
  start with your hands on the line,
• 1:01:13
  get your hands to the line,
• 1:01:14
  finish at some point with
• 1:01:16
  your hands back on the line.
• 1:01:17
  And I think that's what it should be.
• 1:01:19
  Screw this,
• 1:01:20
  foot needs to be up on the wall,
• 1:01:22
  then your hands,
• 1:01:23
  then you get your hands to the tape line,
• 1:01:25
  walk forward.
• 1:01:27
  Some of it happens so fast
• 1:01:28
  at the elite level
• 1:01:30
  Of like, did the foot touch first?
• 1:01:32
  Did the hand touch the line first?
• 1:01:34
  Whereas you're not supposed
• 1:01:36
  to pause the videos if you
• 1:01:38
  take the judges' scores.
• 1:01:39
  You shouldn't be doing that.
• 1:01:40
  And you know that everyone's
• 1:01:40
  pausing at those moments to
• 1:01:42
  see that slowed time thing.
• 1:01:47
  If they just made it hand to
• 1:01:49
  the line on each end,
• 1:01:52
  get there how you want.
• 1:01:54
  And now I'm trying to think
• 1:01:55
  of different ways people would do it.
• 1:01:58
  But I think that would just be easier.
• 1:02:00
  And Rogue did it.
• 1:02:02
  They made people just do their wall walks,
• 1:02:03
  do their handstand pushups,
• 1:02:04
  and then walk back and then
• 1:02:05
  just get your hands back to the line.
• 1:02:10
  If it means that you're
• 1:02:11
  doing a burpee of some sort, who cares?
• 1:02:14
  It's probably slower that way anyways.
• 1:02:15
  If you were to bring your
• 1:02:18
  knees down and then come
• 1:02:19
  back to your stomach,
• 1:02:20
  it'd probably be slower.
• 1:02:23
  Just make it there and back.
• 1:02:25
  Larry Young says, Scott,
• 1:02:26
  I think you nailed it on that receiver.
• 1:02:28
  Yeah.
• 1:02:29
  Most unathletic ever.
• 1:02:32
  I think this is a problem too.
• 1:02:34
  You set a standard and
• 1:02:35
  you're CrossFit and you set up the floor.
• 1:02:38
  You need to make sure you
• 1:02:39
  are doing everything
• 1:02:41
  exactly correct with no exceptions.
• 1:02:46
  And Andrew brings up this point.
• 1:02:47
  It's funny that the tape
• 1:02:48
  line for the announcement
• 1:02:49
  was set up wrong.
• 1:02:50
  One continuous line instead
• 1:02:51
  of thirty inch lines.
• 1:02:54
  You have to set the example
• 1:02:56
  for the community.
• 1:02:57
  And like that line is not
• 1:02:58
  even an important line.
• 1:02:59
  It's the one to the wall if
• 1:03:01
  you want that one to be important.
• 1:03:03
  And really,
• 1:03:04
  I don't even think the width
• 1:03:05
  should matter for the
• 1:03:06
  handstand walk the line
• 1:03:08
  because if you're wider,
• 1:03:10
  what would that do?
• 1:03:11
  Like it's not even efficient.
• 1:03:16
  Yeah, I mean,
• 1:03:16
  you still got to get as close, like,
• 1:03:19
  you still got to get within ten inches.
• 1:03:22
  I don't know.
• 1:03:23
  Like, I think it's, like,
• 1:03:26
  I can see it in the handstand push-up,
• 1:03:28
  but in the wall walk,
• 1:03:29
  I don't see the use of the thirty,
• 1:03:32
  is it thirty inches for the, yeah,
• 1:03:34
  the width there.
• 1:03:35
  Like,
• 1:03:35
  I don't see the value in adding that
• 1:03:39
  as a rule.
• 1:03:40
  Yeah.
• 1:03:41
  to your point, Carolyn, Andrew says live,
• 1:03:43
  the judge can't watch the
• 1:03:45
  hands and the feet at the same time.
• 1:03:47
  So the standard is impossible to judge.
• 1:03:50
  It's so hard to judge.
• 1:03:51
  Like when they're going full speed,
• 1:03:53
  the elbows going through on the clean,
• 1:03:55
  so hard to judge as they're going very,
• 1:03:57
  very fast.
• 1:03:57
  Sometimes it's like,
• 1:03:59
  are they extending their knee?
• 1:04:00
  Is the barbell already off?
• 1:04:01
  Are the elbows back to, you know,
• 1:04:04
  more underneath vertical or
• 1:04:05
  are they still in front?
• 1:04:06
  Like it happens so fast.
• 1:04:07
  Like,
• 1:04:09
  It's just tough sometimes.
• 1:04:09
  And like, yeah,
• 1:04:11
  you're not supposed to slow it down,
• 1:04:12
  but people are slowing the videos down.
• 1:04:14
  Some of it's very obvious,
• 1:04:16
  but sometimes it happens to us.
• 1:04:19
  Vi says,
• 1:04:20
  people in the comments were saying
• 1:04:21
  the scores from the
• 1:04:21
  announcement were going to
• 1:04:22
  get invalidated because of
• 1:04:24
  the tape issue.
• 1:04:24
  Is that true?
• 1:04:25
  Should they be invalid?
• 1:04:27
  Man, I don't think they'll be invalidated.
• 1:04:29
  I think they'll give them a
• 1:04:30
  penalty because it was
• 1:04:32
  CrossFit's mistake at the most.
• 1:04:34
  I think a lot of gyms did it that way,
• 1:04:36
  though.
• 1:04:36
  A lot of gyms did it that way.
• 1:04:38
  It's just easier.
• 1:04:41
  You're making things way too
• 1:04:43
  complicated on affiliates
• 1:04:45
  to specify something like that.
• 1:04:49
  It's ridiculous.
• 1:04:53
  Yeah, I think on the wall walk,
• 1:04:54
  it could have been just one
• 1:04:55
  straight tape across with a
• 1:04:56
  fifty five or fifty or
• 1:04:57
  sixty inches and even one
• 1:04:59
  tape straight across at the ten inches.
• 1:05:01
  Like the thirty inch does
• 1:05:02
  not does not matter.
• 1:05:05
  Hit the line with both hands
• 1:05:07
  forward and back.
• 1:05:09
  That's it.
• 1:05:10
  None of this other in between stuff.
• 1:05:12
  We're making it harder on ourselves.
• 1:05:18
  Now people just need to measure correctly.
• 1:05:20
  If they invalidate anyone or
• 1:05:22
  penalize anyone,
• 1:05:23
  then they have to penalize
• 1:05:24
  Jason Dillon and James.
• 1:05:26
  Yeah.
• 1:05:26
  I don't think they're going
• 1:05:27
  to invalidate anyone for
• 1:05:28
  the thirty inch line now
• 1:05:30
  being twelve inches off the
• 1:05:32
  wall or whatever these
• 1:05:33
  people are trying to finicky do.
• 1:05:36
  Yeah, that's that's that's different.
• 1:05:38
  Yeah.
• 1:05:40
  Yeah,
• 1:05:40
  like that one girl that wasn't to the
• 1:05:43
  that measured, you know,
• 1:05:44
  two inches off the wall and
• 1:05:45
  still was short on the
• 1:05:46
  twenty five centimeters
• 1:05:47
  like that's you're you're
• 1:05:49
  cutting the movement much.
• 1:05:51
  Like closer in.
• 1:05:55
  Yeah, get rid of get get rid of that.
• 1:05:59
  Actually, that's not the one I wanted.
• 1:06:01
  They made Aaron Frazier.
• 1:06:02
  They made Laura and Gabby
• 1:06:03
  redo the workout a few
• 1:06:04
  years ago because CrossFit
• 1:06:05
  loaded the bar wrong.
• 1:06:06
  But that's a plate load.
• 1:06:07
  I think that's different.
• 1:06:09
  The plate load issue,
• 1:06:10
  that's a completely different movement.
• 1:06:12
  And this,
• 1:06:13
  the thirty inches is so
• 1:06:15
  irrelevant in the wall walks.
• 1:06:17
  It's actually harder to go
• 1:06:18
  wider like that.
• 1:06:20
  The more stacked you are,
• 1:06:22
  the easier it'll be for you to go back.
• 1:06:27
  Dense agrees with Carolyn.
• 1:06:28
  Thirty inches does not make
• 1:06:29
  sense at all for a wall walk.
• 1:06:31
  Just for the handstand
• 1:06:31
  push-ups so that people
• 1:06:32
  don't get so wide.
• 1:06:34
  That's it.
• 1:06:35
  You get too wide on a wall
• 1:06:37
  walk and you're not going to, I mean,
• 1:06:38
  you're going to go down.
• 1:06:41
  Your head's going to be.
• 1:06:42
  Yeah.
• 1:06:42
  All right, cool.
• 1:06:52
  So, so the open is essentially over.
• 1:06:54
  We have some final,
• 1:06:56
  final scores to go in tomorrow.
• 1:07:00
  What are your thoughts
• 1:07:01
  overall on this three week open?
• 1:07:04
  Are you happy with it?
• 1:07:08
  I am.
• 1:07:08
  I thought, I thought they're good to pass.
• 1:07:09
  I thought the media was good.
• 1:07:11
  I think it's a good start to
• 1:07:12
  the season to gain some, some momentum,
• 1:07:16
  you know,
• 1:07:16
  like it's been a rough few months.
• 1:07:19
  And I think that the
• 1:07:20
  community was really rallying together.
• 1:07:23
  I know my community at
• 1:07:24
  CrossFit Coliseum was amazing.
• 1:07:26
  you know,
• 1:07:27
  color coordinated every week and
• 1:07:29
  cheering on and they're,
• 1:07:30
  they're super pumped right now.
• 1:07:31
  So, um, I think a lot of communities had a,
• 1:07:34
  had a great time.
• 1:07:36
  Um, I thought the workouts were, were fun.
• 1:07:40
  Um, not overly difficult,
• 1:07:42
  but not so easy as well too.
• 1:07:43
  Um, yeah, I think, I think it was good.
• 1:07:47
  I thought it was successful.
• 1:07:47
  I think,
• 1:07:48
  I think there's some good momentum
• 1:07:49
  going into the season and I,
• 1:07:51
  I hope that people are excited.
• 1:07:55
  Um,
• 1:07:56
  I'll let Jamie talk in a second.
• 1:07:58
  I thought it was awesome.
• 1:07:59
  I I've been doing the open since, um,
• 1:08:01
  the open used to be just a big,
• 1:08:05
  huge fun blast community event.
• 1:08:08
  Um, I've missed that for a few years.
• 1:08:11
  I don't know if it was a
• 1:08:11
  change of ownership in our gym, um,
• 1:08:15
  or a combination of these
• 1:08:16
  workouts in that.
• 1:08:17
  And the,
• 1:08:17
  the announcements were the best
• 1:08:19
  they've been since before COVID before,
• 1:08:22
  um, probably, um,
• 1:08:26
  thought those were the best
• 1:08:28
  I thought it was I thought
• 1:08:29
  it was a great open I had I
• 1:08:32
  had so much fun this year
• 1:08:34
  probably helps that I was
• 1:08:35
  able to do two of the three
• 1:08:35
  workouts rx so that makes
• 1:08:38
  me feel good at the end of
• 1:08:39
  the day I think you want
• 1:08:41
  your community to feel good
• 1:08:42
  like that too um so yeah so
• 1:08:47
  I put in here I don't know
• 1:08:48
  if you guys had time to
• 1:08:48
  think about it what is the
• 1:08:50
  good the bad and the ugly
• 1:08:51
  of this year's open
• 1:08:56
  The good is definitely the announcements.
• 1:08:58
  I thought that they crushed
• 1:08:59
  it this year with the content there.
• 1:09:02
  I really wish there would
• 1:09:03
  have been a female at the
• 1:09:04
  final week because it was
• 1:09:06
  such a different workout.
• 1:09:08
  I do not like that.
• 1:09:09
  You had four dudes there.
• 1:09:11
  So you put that in the pad?
• 1:09:14
  Yeah.
• 1:09:15
  The bad is obviously the leaks.
• 1:09:18
  That's the horrible.
• 1:09:20
  Every week had leaks.
• 1:09:23
  Can't happen.
• 1:09:25
  Especially when it's
• 1:09:26
  becoming an advantage for people.
• 1:09:29
  Of course.
• 1:09:30
  And there's money on the line and stuff.
• 1:09:31
  And it's like, yeah,
• 1:09:34
  it's just not like you want.
• 1:09:37
  Yeah,
• 1:09:38
  the leaks are the leaks are a huge
• 1:09:39
  issue in our sport.
• 1:09:40
  It's it's a big problem.
• 1:09:42
  Yeah.
• 1:09:44
  Twenty five point one was
• 1:09:45
  perfect for anyone.
• 1:09:46
  We had two people that were
• 1:09:47
  only two weeks in and they
• 1:09:48
  were able to do it.
• 1:09:49
  I agree.
• 1:09:51
  Twenty five point one
• 1:09:52
  started off the open for us really well.
• 1:09:55
  Twenty five point two had
• 1:09:57
  people frustrated.
• 1:10:01
  I think people regretted even signing up.
• 1:10:03
  And then we had a few we had
• 1:10:05
  a smaller turnout this week.
• 1:10:07
  I don't know if because they
• 1:10:08
  thought it was going to be
• 1:10:08
  exactly like the previous week or what,
• 1:10:11
  which sucks because I think
• 1:10:12
  this week was a very good workout.
• 1:10:16
  Would you have changed the
• 1:10:17
  order of week two and three?
• 1:10:19
  Yeah, I would have.
• 1:10:21
  It's just the way the open always is.
• 1:10:24
  I don't understand.
• 1:10:26
  Yeah,
• 1:10:26
  because it's the first time that like
• 1:10:27
  we saw that chest to bar
• 1:10:28
  thruster combination in week two.
• 1:10:30
  Like we've seen thrusters in
• 1:10:31
  week two with double unders
• 1:10:33
  with the dumbbell in twenty
• 1:10:35
  twenty twenty point two.
• 1:10:38
  But or we've seen a heavy thruster,
• 1:10:40
  I guess, in twenty three point one,
• 1:10:45
  whatever that was,
• 1:10:46
  the second part of that.
• 1:10:47
  But that combination of that
• 1:10:48
  higher skill gymnastics
• 1:10:49
  progression with heavier
• 1:10:51
  thrusters is normally a week three.
• 1:10:54
  Mm hmm.
• 1:10:56
  So I could have seen that.
• 1:10:57
  I mean,
• 1:10:57
  we may have been able to guess it
• 1:10:59
  at that point since we knew
• 1:11:00
  there was a repeat happening.
• 1:11:02
  So I think that's why you
• 1:11:03
  had to put it in the first
• 1:11:05
  or second week.
• 1:11:06
  If we didn't know that there
• 1:11:07
  was a repeat coming,
• 1:11:08
  maybe then you can kind of
• 1:11:09
  keep it more secret there.
• 1:11:11
  But what's a secret these
• 1:11:12
  days in CrossFit?
• 1:11:13
  I'm going to hit a couple comments here,
• 1:11:15
  Lana.
• 1:11:16
  We had a blast.
• 1:11:17
  One more day to go.
• 1:11:19
  Craig, I was happy to see Jeff, Ariel,
• 1:11:20
  et cetera, participated.
• 1:11:21
  Yeah.
• 1:11:25
  Ken, we already talked about that one.
• 1:11:30
  Good announcements, bad.
• 1:11:31
  Haley didn't have a female competitor.
• 1:11:33
  I do agree with that it
• 1:11:34
  would have been I think it
• 1:11:35
  would have helped Haley on
• 1:11:36
  that first one to just even
• 1:11:38
  though like she's she said
• 1:11:39
  that she's not you know at
• 1:11:40
  her peak right now I think
• 1:11:41
  mentally if she has another
• 1:11:42
  female beside her it just
• 1:11:44
  is a like a more fun race
• 1:11:46
  for her to do um clock
• 1:11:48
  Haley was on her own kind
• 1:11:49
  of odd doesn't mayhem have
• 1:11:50
  another any tough females
• 1:11:52
  they have plenty plenty
• 1:11:54
  yeah they're loaded
• 1:11:57
  Ooh, look at this Masters athlete,
• 1:11:58
  Katrina LeClaire.
• 1:12:00
  It's nice having it only be three weeks,
• 1:12:02
  but I missed the five-week
• 1:12:03
  open because there was more
• 1:12:04
  variety and more scores.
• 1:12:06
  But I will tell you from a
• 1:12:07
  gym owner's perspective,
• 1:12:09
  and when I was coaching at
• 1:12:10
  a gym and we had to devote
• 1:12:14
  so much time to it, man,
• 1:12:16
  five weeks just about killed you.
• 1:12:18
  I think three weeks is perfect,
• 1:12:21
  but I do think that they
• 1:12:22
  could do a double score.
• 1:12:24
  And it doesn't need to be a lift,
• 1:12:25
  but some sort of a double
• 1:12:27
  scored event on one of the
• 1:12:28
  weekends where there's two shorter,
• 1:12:31
  you know,
• 1:12:31
  two moderate time where people
• 1:12:32
  could still fit both scores within,
• 1:12:35
  let's say, a half hour time frame.
• 1:12:36
  Because if people do hour
• 1:12:38
  classes and let's say they have two heats,
• 1:12:40
  you can still kind of run that.
• 1:12:43
  But yeah, I think...
• 1:12:45
  I think the three week is
• 1:12:47
  better for the affiliates.
• 1:12:49
  The good,
• 1:12:51
  I would say I enjoyed the fifteen foot.
• 1:12:54
  I thought that was new.
• 1:12:56
  Like that was different.
• 1:12:56
  I think that's better for
• 1:12:57
  the affiliates than always
• 1:12:59
  the twenty five foot,
• 1:13:00
  where sometimes the camera
• 1:13:01
  needs to be so far away and
• 1:13:02
  then you can't even see the
• 1:13:03
  movement that people are doing.
• 1:13:07
  I think improvement still on
• 1:13:11
  the multiple barbells.
• 1:13:13
  I think that's still very
• 1:13:14
  tough on the affiliates.
• 1:13:18
  That's something to maybe think about.
• 1:13:19
  Doing it once in the open is fine.
• 1:13:21
  Maybe doing it twice is like, you know,
• 1:13:24
  it starts becoming more
• 1:13:25
  difficult to run some of it.
• 1:13:31
  So I think the three-week open is fine,
• 1:13:34
  and it would be awesome if
• 1:13:36
  the scores move forward,
• 1:13:37
  like Carolyn has been
• 1:13:38
  preaching for months.
• 1:13:40
  If those three scores move
• 1:13:41
  forward to the next stage of the event,
• 1:13:45
  and then you have a more
• 1:13:46
  well-rounded score at the
• 1:13:48
  next stage because you add
• 1:13:50
  those three to the next four or five,
• 1:13:53
  then you have a really good test.
• 1:13:56
  And then three-week open is fine.
• 1:13:58
  Yes, one thousand percent like that.
• 1:14:01
  And not like an overall like
• 1:14:02
  you just take away the the
• 1:14:04
  ninety nine percent and you
• 1:14:05
  just put them all together.
• 1:14:06
  I mean, I think I've I've said it enough.
• 1:14:12
  I'd say ugly to me is the standards.
• 1:14:14
  Holy cow.
• 1:14:15
  I can't even.
• 1:14:18
  Yeah, that video today is so bad.
• 1:14:20
  Cleans kill me.
• 1:14:22
  It's one it's one thing that.
• 1:14:23
  Oh.
• 1:14:26
  The standards are bad,
• 1:14:27
  but it's also the people in
• 1:14:28
  the comments being like,
• 1:14:29
  my gym holds everyone to
• 1:14:31
  the highest standards.
• 1:14:32
  I'm like, no, your gym doesn't.
• 1:14:34
  Everyone talks in the
• 1:14:34
  comments like they hold
• 1:14:36
  their people to the highest
• 1:14:37
  standards and they move so well.
• 1:14:38
  And I'm like, do you?
• 1:14:40
  Because a lot of people that talk,
• 1:14:41
  they move bad.
• 1:14:43
  You can go watch all of my
• 1:14:45
  athletes' videos.
• 1:14:47
  Let me know how they move.
• 1:14:49
  Agreed on the standards.
• 1:14:51
  Still something to get
• 1:14:52
  pushed and keep harping on
• 1:14:55
  it because people got to move better.
• 1:15:00
  I feel like the elites had
• 1:15:02
  some questionable elbows.
• 1:15:04
  To show that and that's how
• 1:15:06
  we're going to move is the
• 1:15:08
  problem in this sport.
• 1:15:10
  Yeah, that,
• 1:15:10
  that is the problem is when you,
• 1:15:11
  when you see the announcement have reps,
• 1:15:14
  so you're like pretty close.
• 1:15:16
  Yeah.
• 1:15:17
  And then it just kind of
• 1:15:19
  trickles down after that
• 1:15:20
  for the rest of the community.
• 1:15:21
  Um,
• 1:15:24
  I think a lot of people are
• 1:15:25
  just fast at talking about
• 1:15:26
  the standards and then themselves,
• 1:15:28
  they don't move well is
• 1:15:29
  what I'm getting to.
• 1:15:30
  It's that people need to
• 1:15:31
  start looking more at
• 1:15:32
  themselves and analyzing
• 1:15:33
  their own videos and their
• 1:15:35
  own movements and also
• 1:15:36
  taking accountability for
• 1:15:37
  their own movements and
• 1:15:39
  starting to just hold
• 1:15:40
  yourself to a higher standard.
• 1:15:42
  as an athlete.
• 1:15:43
  Sometimes I just can't
• 1:15:44
  believe some of the things
• 1:15:44
  people post online on Instagram.
• 1:15:46
  I'm like,
• 1:15:47
  did you look back at your video
• 1:15:48
  and look at your reps?
• 1:15:49
  Cause it's like a lot of
• 1:15:49
  what you're posting is just not good.
• 1:15:52
  Like I always make sure when
• 1:15:53
  I'm posting something, they're like,
• 1:15:54
  I'm moving well.
• 1:15:55
  Like Tristan says,
• 1:15:58
  I found no less than ten
• 1:15:59
  people with sub twelve,
• 1:16:01
  thirteen scores on this one
• 1:16:03
  and their movement is trash.
• 1:16:04
  Yeah.
• 1:16:05
  Pull up his next comment.
• 1:16:06
  Cause
• 1:16:07
  that's where I'm at like
• 1:16:09
  he's right there really is
• 1:16:10
  no point in complaining
• 1:16:12
  because but it's so
• 1:16:15
  frustrating go ahead and
• 1:16:16
  read it uh there's no point
• 1:16:18
  complaining about it it's
• 1:16:19
  an online format with no
• 1:16:21
  punishment which is where
• 1:16:22
  we are there's there's not
• 1:16:25
  no point to even complain
• 1:16:27
  about it at this point it
• 1:16:28
  is it's the problem of the
• 1:16:30
  online format and no no
• 1:16:33
  repercussion again unless
• 1:16:35
  everyone's video is going to be up there
• 1:16:37
  That's the thing is you only
• 1:16:38
  see a few and you're like, this is bad.
• 1:16:41
  But then most of the people
• 1:16:42
  that don't have videos are even worse.
• 1:16:44
  And that's the thing is it's like,
• 1:16:47
  just because you're at an
• 1:16:48
  affiliate does not mean
• 1:16:50
  that you have good standards.
• 1:16:52
  No.
• 1:16:53
  like at all, but we hide,
• 1:16:56
  we hide the videos are
• 1:16:57
  probably going to move better.
• 1:16:59
  And the sad thing is those
• 1:17:01
  are still so bad that
• 1:17:02
  imagining what's happening
• 1:17:04
  and an unvideoed affiliate workout.
• 1:17:06
  Yeah.
• 1:17:07
  Because if you know,
• 1:17:08
  you're posting your video, you know,
• 1:17:10
  you're moving a little bit
• 1:17:11
  more with normally.
• 1:17:13
  I mean, that's,
• 1:17:14
  that would go through my head.
• 1:17:15
  If I'm posting this video,
• 1:17:16
  I need to make sure that I'm moving well.
• 1:17:19
  So those videos are normally better.
• 1:17:22
  than the ones in the affiliate.
• 1:17:23
  Because the ones in the affiliate,
• 1:17:25
  most of the time, unless you're an elite,
• 1:17:27
  you're not filming and
• 1:17:29
  you're just getting away with everything.
• 1:17:32
  But your affiliate owner
• 1:17:34
  will just validate whatever
• 1:17:35
  score is there.
• 1:17:36
  It doesn't matter, mistakes on it or not.
• 1:17:38
  It's just, oh yeah, that sounds good.
• 1:17:41
  And it goes and affects the leaderboard,
• 1:17:42
  which is why open the video, one percent,
• 1:17:46
  and there should be some
• 1:17:48
  sort of flag on videos.
• 1:17:51
  Like some sort of color on
• 1:17:53
  the leaderboard if there's
• 1:17:54
  a certain amount of, let's say,
• 1:17:56
  needs review.
• 1:17:57
  Because right now someone
• 1:17:59
  can have ten or fifteen needs review,
• 1:18:02
  but nothing happens.
• 1:18:03
  Like you don't you won't
• 1:18:04
  even see it like affecting.
• 1:18:06
  But there should be like
• 1:18:07
  here's leaderboard.
• 1:18:08
  If someone has some sort of needs review,
• 1:18:10
  all of a sudden their name
• 1:18:11
  or their score becomes yellow or red.
• 1:18:14
  So then it's like, oh,
• 1:18:15
  let's go look at that one.
• 1:18:17
  And if it has all good, I don't know,
• 1:18:19
  you're green for something.
• 1:18:21
  It would just be more
• 1:18:21
  visually like just easier
• 1:18:24
  to see if something needs to get changed.
• 1:18:29
  Yeah.
• 1:18:31
  Clock says open goodness.
• 1:18:32
  Colton's movement on twenty
• 1:18:33
  five point two.
• 1:18:34
  Why?
• 1:18:34
  While setting the top score.
• 1:18:36
  He's so good.
• 1:18:37
  He did.
• 1:18:37
  Amen.
• 1:18:38
  I mean, Miriam, too, though.
• 1:18:39
  Let's give her credit, too.
• 1:18:41
  She is amazing.
• 1:18:43
  On these workouts.
• 1:18:45
  So back here, Corey,
• 1:18:48
  when I first went to my gym
• 1:18:49
  and first started coaching,
• 1:18:51
  we were big into MCI,
• 1:18:53
  and that's just not a
• 1:18:54
  long-distance phone company
• 1:18:55
  from the eighties, but mechanics,
• 1:18:58
  consistency, intensity.
• 1:19:01
  And you don't get to move on
• 1:19:02
  to the next letter until
• 1:19:03
  you master the one before it.
• 1:19:07
  And it,
• 1:19:08
  it feels like that gets just thrown away.
• 1:19:13
  And when it comes open time,
• 1:19:14
  everybody's trying to skirt the line.
• 1:19:16
  And if you watch the behind the scenes,
• 1:19:20
  Sprague is asking his judge
• 1:19:22
  who is Chuck Carswell.
• 1:19:23
  Like my elbow is, am I good here?
• 1:19:26
  Am I good here?
• 1:19:27
  Like he's asking where Chuck
• 1:19:29
  is going to let it go.
• 1:19:30
  I hate that.
• 1:19:37
  And I get,
• 1:19:38
  as long as you're meeting the standard,
• 1:19:39
  I mean, that's fine.
• 1:19:41
  And the judge upholds that standard.
• 1:19:45
  You don't have to go past it.
• 1:19:48
  But it just shows, like,
• 1:19:49
  that they're looking for
• 1:19:52
  the quickest line between A and B. I mean,
• 1:19:56
  you see the picture of Allison Scudds.
• 1:19:59
  And you're not supposed to
• 1:20:00
  make it questionable.
• 1:20:01
  Just put your freaking elbows out front.
• 1:20:03
  But elbows in front does not
• 1:20:05
  need to be where Allison Scud's are.
• 1:20:06
  That's how I do mine.
• 1:20:09
  Okay.
• 1:20:09
  Well, that's not the standard.
• 1:20:10
  That's the picture,
• 1:20:12
  and I'm meeting the picture.
• 1:20:13
  I'm meeting the picture.
• 1:20:16
  I'm not leaving it up.
• 1:20:17
  They're pointing east.
• 1:20:19
  They're up so high.
• 1:20:20
  I can't get mine that high.
• 1:20:23
  They don't need to be that high.
• 1:20:24
  They just need to be past the bar.
• 1:20:26
  There are lots of videos
• 1:20:27
  where they are not even
• 1:20:28
  close to being under the bar.
• 1:20:31
  Right.
• 1:20:33
  Let's see.
• 1:20:34
  Let's the hardest one is it's the,
• 1:20:36
  it's there,
• 1:20:37
  but it's as they're extending their knees,
• 1:20:39
  it's already above.
• 1:20:40
  That's the one that's tough
• 1:20:42
  as people go really fast on
• 1:20:43
  their singles.
• 1:20:44
  And it's just so light.
• 1:20:45
  Cause it just like you catch
• 1:20:47
  in a like pseudo power slash muscle,
• 1:20:50
  like basically a muscle pain, but like,
• 1:20:52
  it's like a little bit of a power.
• 1:20:54
  And as soon as you extend,
• 1:20:55
  it's already up.
• 1:20:56
  Your elbows can be a little
• 1:20:57
  bit in front still,
• 1:20:59
  but at that point it's,
• 1:21:01
  there's a lot of reps that
• 1:21:02
  are like that at the elite level a lot.
• 1:21:06
  Um,
• 1:21:07
  like I have to continuously remind
• 1:21:08
  myself to like,
• 1:21:10
  not do that as it gets like
• 1:21:11
  when it's light to,
• 1:21:13
  cause that's an easy one to, um, to do.
• 1:21:19
  I'm with Larry.
• 1:21:20
  My elbows won't go that high.
• 1:21:22
  They just will not.
• 1:21:26
  I just like, I make Jim slow down.
• 1:21:28
  Like I'm like,
• 1:21:31
  just don't try to go that fast where it,
• 1:21:33
  to me, it looks like you're trying to,
• 1:21:35
  to get out of, like,
• 1:21:37
  if you just show me that
• 1:21:38
  half second pause,
• 1:21:39
  I know you've attempted
• 1:21:41
  your best to get wherever you're in.
• 1:21:43
  Jim gets through, but like with handstand,
• 1:21:46
  pushup, lockout, anything.
• 1:21:47
  I'm like,
• 1:21:47
  if you aren't just like trying to do this,
• 1:21:49
  where it looks like you're
• 1:21:50
  just trying to go as fast as possible.
• 1:21:51
  And you're at least pausing
• 1:21:53
  to where you're pausing.
• 1:21:54
  And I know you're in control.
• 1:21:56
  That shows me that you're
• 1:21:57
  trying and you're not just trying.
• 1:22:01
  Speeding through it.
• 1:22:02
  I need to speak to Aaron.
• 1:22:03
  Work on mobility.
• 1:22:04
  I've been working on
• 1:22:05
  mobility since two thousand eleven.
• 1:22:07
  When I work on it,
• 1:22:09
  I couldn't even get my
• 1:22:10
  elbows in front of the bar.
• 1:22:11
  I couldn't in the front rack,
• 1:22:12
  get the bar to touch my collarbone.
• 1:22:14
  And guess what?
• 1:22:15
  I can rest in the front rack now.
• 1:22:17
  It actually rests on my
• 1:22:18
  collarbone and my shoulders.
• 1:22:20
  I have improved my mobility immensely.
• 1:22:23
  I ain't hitting Allison Scud's, though.
• 1:22:25
  It just ain't happening.
• 1:22:29
  I got to work on my front rack mobility.
• 1:22:31
  I mean, fourteen years to get to that.
• 1:22:40
  Dent says, Tristan Patrick,
• 1:22:41
  your athletes move very well.
• 1:22:42
  They do.
• 1:22:50
  They do.
• 1:22:50
  Nicole.
• 1:22:51
  I'm actually up to a full fist, man.
• 1:22:54
  It's taken me forever to get there.
• 1:23:00
  Um, so yeah, we are.
• 1:23:02
  Wow.
• 1:23:03
  We have half an agenda.
• 1:23:06
  Um, I,
• 1:23:08
  I don't know if WFP made a ton of
• 1:23:11
  announcements this weekend.
• 1:23:13
  Let me hit the quick hitting news first.
• 1:23:15
  And then if we get time,
• 1:23:16
  we'll get to this.
• 1:23:17
  If not, we'll hit it later.
• 1:23:18
  And there was the high rocks
• 1:23:19
  this weekend to that.
• 1:23:21
  Yeah.
• 1:23:21
  A couple of world records.
• 1:23:22
  First thing Tia and her
• 1:23:25
  partner broke the word.
• 1:23:26
  This is quick hit news.
• 1:23:27
  T and her partner broke the
• 1:23:28
  world record and high rocks
• 1:23:30
  pro doubles at the Houston
• 1:23:32
  high rocks this weekend.
• 1:23:34
  Still James?
• 1:23:37
  No.
• 1:23:37
  Two females.
• 1:23:38
  This was two females.
• 1:23:39
  She teamed up with one of
• 1:23:42
  the best high rocksters.
• 1:23:44
  She's new to the scene,
• 1:23:45
  but she's crushing it from Australia.
• 1:23:47
  Tall, blonde girl.
• 1:23:48
  I think her name is Joanna.
• 1:23:50
  Okay.
• 1:23:51
  She...
• 1:23:52
  Yeah,
• 1:23:52
  she's very up there right now in the
• 1:23:53
  sport,
• 1:23:54
  and I think she's relatively new to it.
• 1:23:57
  I mean,
• 1:23:57
  I feel like a lot of people are
• 1:23:58
  relatively new to it.
• 1:24:00
  But yeah,
• 1:24:01
  they broke the world record for
• 1:24:02
  the double females.
• 1:24:04
  And Alex Parker was
• 1:24:05
  competing in that one too,
• 1:24:06
  which I want to give her a shout out too.
• 1:24:10
  Alex Parker was with Lindsay Martin,
• 1:24:13
  I think another Canadian.
• 1:24:16
  They were, I think, in the top six,
• 1:24:18
  and it was their first High
• 1:24:19
  Rocks together.
• 1:24:22
  I would like to see Christie
• 1:24:25
  Aramo O'Connell and Alex
• 1:24:27
  Parker together or with Tia, some sort of,
• 1:24:31
  um, woman's games together.
• 1:24:34
  Cause those are those,
• 1:24:35
  those two were probably our
• 1:24:37
  best runners as
• 1:24:38
  CrossFitters that we've seen.
• 1:24:41
  One of my close friends was
• 1:24:43
  at the Houston high rocks and on Snapchat,
• 1:24:46
  she had video of Tia and
• 1:24:47
  her partner running.
• 1:24:49
  It looked like everybody
• 1:24:50
  else was standing still.
• 1:24:52
  They probably were.
• 1:24:54
  It was insane, insane.
• 1:24:57
  Tia's body has changed a lot too.
• 1:24:59
  I've noticed like from just
• 1:25:02
  training the high rocks right now,
• 1:25:03
  like I find that her muscle mass has,
• 1:25:05
  has decreased in some of her videos.
• 1:25:07
  Like just looking at her
• 1:25:08
  back when she was like
• 1:25:09
  rowing and where it was
• 1:25:11
  like when she's really
• 1:25:12
  training for CrossFit and
• 1:25:13
  strength training and lifting, like it's,
• 1:25:15
  you can definitely tell
• 1:25:16
  she's running a lot and
• 1:25:18
  working on the high rock side of it.
• 1:25:20
  And I mean,
• 1:25:21
  she's crushing it right now for
• 1:25:22
  the high rocks.
• 1:25:23
  It's just going to be interesting to see,
• 1:25:25
  um,
• 1:25:26
  how she's able to juggle
• 1:25:27
  that and get back to her
• 1:25:30
  top form for the crossfit
• 1:25:32
  games I mean I have no
• 1:25:32
  doubt that she can she's
• 1:25:34
  the best to ever do it um
• 1:25:37
  but yeah it's just she's so
• 1:25:39
  fit in the running space
• 1:25:40
  right now uh craig says
• 1:25:42
  christian patrick stopped
• 1:25:43
  by the shred shed while
• 1:25:45
  justin was doing twenty
• 1:25:46
  five three I didn't see
• 1:25:50
  that score for twenty five
• 1:25:51
  point three yet I didn't see it yet
• 1:25:55
  I'll be curious what she does in this one.
• 1:25:57
  You women don't post your
• 1:25:58
  scores until like the last minute.
• 1:25:59
  The women are so bad.
• 1:26:01
  Yeah, we're secretive.
• 1:26:03
  The next piece of news is
• 1:26:04
  Guy has decided to not
• 1:26:06
  compete in the CrossFit Games season.
• 1:26:08
  He is focusing on the WFP.
• 1:26:11
  Um,
• 1:26:11
  and George Sterner received a backfill
• 1:26:13
  to the mayhem classic.
• 1:26:15
  And I just had a question.
• 1:26:16
  Has anybody had or vaulted
• 1:26:18
  in name recognition more
• 1:26:19
  than George Sterner this
• 1:26:21
  open because of a goofy guy
• 1:26:23
  walking through his open workout video,
• 1:26:26
  he has now become a Insta famous.
• 1:26:29
  Yeah.
• 1:26:29
  Yeah.
• 1:26:30
  I mean, as well as his performances,
• 1:26:32
  he's been crushing it in the open,
• 1:26:34
  and he does have a history
• 1:26:36
  of being extremely high up
• 1:26:38
  there in the sport.
• 1:26:41
  Yeah, it's nice to see him back in it.
• 1:26:42
  I'm excited he got the backfill.
• 1:26:45
  He's good.
• 1:26:46
  He's got some strengths that, like, yeah,
• 1:26:48
  he's got some capacity all right.
• 1:26:53
  Yeah.
• 1:26:53
  We'll quickly go through
• 1:26:54
  some of this WFP stuff.
• 1:26:58
  They opened up their media
• 1:26:59
  application on Thursday.
• 1:27:00
  I did apply.
• 1:27:01
  We'll find out, I think,
• 1:27:02
  tomorrow if we get in or not.
• 1:27:05
  But I am getting press
• 1:27:06
  releases from them now.
• 1:27:08
  I've gotten a few of them
• 1:27:09
  over the weekend.
• 1:27:12
  Uh, the Adler video they put up, uh,
• 1:27:15
  came down because of a copyright strike.
• 1:27:16
  Um, and from what I understand,
• 1:27:19
  there was a lot of games footage in it.
• 1:27:22
  And if you sign the media
• 1:27:23
  agreement with CrossFit,
• 1:27:24
  you were only allowed to use in,
• 1:27:26
  in one video,
• 1:27:27
  like no more than three
• 1:27:28
  minutes of footage,
• 1:27:31
  no more than three seconds
• 1:27:32
  of one continuous piece.
• 1:27:35
  Like that's what it says in
• 1:27:36
  our agreement when we signed with them.
• 1:27:38
  So I'm assuming that is what happened.
• 1:27:41
  Um,
• 1:27:41
  have a new show called on
• 1:27:42
  the pulse it's a new show
• 1:27:44
  with um laura and is it
• 1:27:48
  laura lauren um the english
• 1:27:51
  lady uh she she always does
• 1:27:57
  like the european semi oh I
• 1:27:58
  think it's lauren lauren
• 1:28:01
  lauren laura laura
• 1:28:04
  I know what you're talking
• 1:28:05
  about because she was at MSC.
• 1:28:06
  Brunette.
• 1:28:09
  Her and Tommy Marquez host The Pulse.
• 1:28:13
  They actually interviewed
• 1:28:13
  Will Saxon and the guy from
• 1:28:18
  Australia is going to be
• 1:28:19
  their play-by-play guy.
• 1:28:23
  They had him on and they
• 1:28:24
  talked about the upcoming
• 1:28:25
  season with a lot of information.
• 1:28:30
  It filled in a lot of holes
• 1:28:32
  for what they are doing.
• 1:28:35
  Um, more,
• 1:28:37
  more had stated the more intense
• 1:28:38
  video review than ever,
• 1:28:40
  they will be doing all top
• 1:28:43
  videos and then anything
• 1:28:45
  else that affects the leaderboard, uh,
• 1:28:47
  for the challenger, uh, submissions, um,
• 1:28:54
  challenger division gets no payout.
• 1:28:57
  Yeah.
• 1:28:58
  So I'm so confused because I
• 1:29:01
  feel like the last time we
• 1:29:02
  had information, we were on here.
• 1:29:05
  we were talking about Lauren
• 1:29:06
  Smith is who is the host of the pulse.
• 1:29:12
  I could have sworn somebody
• 1:29:14
  had like confirmed there
• 1:29:16
  was no payout for the community, for the,
• 1:29:18
  like for the masters team,
• 1:29:22
  the community divisions get a payout.
• 1:29:24
  Yeah.
• 1:29:24
  That was when we talked
• 1:29:26
  about it before everyone was like,
• 1:29:27
  there's no payout for the
• 1:29:28
  community division.
• 1:29:29
  It's all in the, so now we're now we've,
• 1:29:34
  Everybody gets paid except for the chat.
• 1:29:37
  So if you're a challenger
• 1:29:38
  that makes the pro division,
• 1:29:40
  you'll get paid.
• 1:29:41
  Right.
• 1:29:42
  If you are a challenger that
• 1:29:43
  goes in that next twenty,
• 1:29:45
  there is no payout.
• 1:29:48
  I mean,
• 1:29:48
  I like backed off of wanting to go
• 1:29:51
  for the Masters because
• 1:29:54
  Austin is the Australian guy.
• 1:29:56
  Yeah, it seemed pointless.
• 1:30:00
  Because they gave no
• 1:30:00
  information on that and
• 1:30:01
  they said it was a community, no prize,
• 1:30:03
  no anything.
• 1:30:04
  I think it's any podium
• 1:30:05
  finished in the community
• 1:30:06
  divisions wins money.
• 1:30:10
  I mean, where was this information?
• 1:30:12
  It was on their Instagram.
• 1:30:13
  We've had it on here.
• 1:30:15
  Is it just the pairs or is
• 1:30:16
  there an individual for Masters?
• 1:30:20
  It's only pairs and teams.
• 1:30:24
  I think at this point.
• 1:30:26
  I don't know about that.
• 1:30:29
  I don't know.
• 1:30:30
  See, there's not enough information.
• 1:30:37
  They are creating affiliates.
• 1:30:38
  They put out a press release.
• 1:30:40
  I put that all in our notes
• 1:30:43
  if you guys wanted to look at that.
• 1:30:46
  They had Saxon Pancheck on the Pulse.
• 1:30:48
  He is leading that,
• 1:30:50
  and it sounds like he is done competing.
• 1:30:52
  He is putting everything in
• 1:30:54
  his heart and soul into
• 1:30:56
  developing this community.
• 1:31:00
  Some people who have already
• 1:31:01
  joined are actually doing both.
• 1:31:03
  They are doing CrossFit and WFP.
• 1:31:07
  I'm just confused what you
• 1:31:09
  get for the affiliation.
• 1:31:10
  So it's in the press release
• 1:31:12
  that I have in our notes.
• 1:31:15
  get to use the name WFP?
• 1:31:18
  There's like,
• 1:31:19
  there's a profit sharing piece.
• 1:31:21
  There's a,
• 1:31:23
  there's a little bit more than
• 1:31:24
  what you would even get for.
• 1:31:26
  I'm trying to find that piece of it.
• 1:31:34
  Media exposure, profit sharing,
• 1:31:36
  community member engagement, buying power,
• 1:31:39
  cost savings, and more.
• 1:31:45
  I just think it's early to ask.
• 1:31:50
  I guess like we haven't seen anything,
• 1:31:52
  right?
• 1:31:53
  Like from the WFP for people to,
• 1:31:56
  it's a chance that you're
• 1:31:57
  taking as an affiliate to buy into it,
• 1:31:59
  two grand or whatever it is.
• 1:32:01
  Yeah, and that's only for the original.
• 1:32:02
  You haven't seen anything.
• 1:32:03
  Like I would be kind of
• 1:32:05
  weighing to see it.
• 1:32:06
  I mean,
• 1:32:07
  people are putting a lot of trust
• 1:32:08
  into seeing it, but I don't know.
• 1:32:12
  And they are allowing garage
• 1:32:13
  affiliation too.
• 1:32:17
  But they're doing a first fifty.
• 1:32:20
  They're called the founding fifty.
• 1:32:22
  And then I don't know if the
• 1:32:23
  price will go up or what after that.
• 1:32:26
  There's really nothing in
• 1:32:27
  the release about that.
• 1:32:30
  But the options... What do
• 1:32:31
  the High Rocks affiliation fees cost?
• 1:32:33
  Because I think there's also that too,
• 1:32:35
  right?
• 1:32:36
  There's just so many.
• 1:32:38
  So expensive on these gyms.
• 1:32:40
  It's already hard to be a gym.
• 1:32:43
  I feel like very few are super successful.
• 1:32:46
  And then if you start adding
• 1:32:48
  a CrossFit affiliation fee,
• 1:32:49
  a High Rocks affiliation fee, this,
• 1:32:53
  your members are going to
• 1:32:54
  get charged a bunch now.
• 1:32:57
  Yeah, it's crazy.
• 1:33:00
  Craig says, well, they get fifty.
• 1:33:02
  They already have some.
• 1:33:03
  So I don't I don't know.
• 1:33:05
  And then there's there's the Metfix,
• 1:33:07
  which is supposed to be
• 1:33:08
  like Glassman has said,
• 1:33:10
  he's not trying to be CrossFit.
• 1:33:12
  He's trying to do something in.
• 1:33:15
  In.
• 1:33:17
  And hand in hand with
• 1:33:19
  CrossFit that you should do
• 1:33:21
  CrossFit and Metfix.
• 1:33:23
  It's more of the science and
• 1:33:24
  the nutrition side.
• 1:33:25
  That's metabolic fixing technically.
• 1:33:28
  Is that what that stands for?
• 1:33:29
  Like a metabolic,
• 1:33:31
  like more nutrition stuff?
• 1:33:33
  I think so.
• 1:33:34
  It's, it is a nutrition piece.
• 1:33:35
  Um, uh, didn't, um,
• 1:33:39
  Jenny says that she heard
• 1:33:40
  high rocks was fifteen hundred.
• 1:33:44
  Yeah.
• 1:33:47
  Uh, they also,
• 1:33:48
  the last thing about WFP and
• 1:33:50
  we can talk about,
• 1:33:50
  I'll read more into this.
• 1:33:52
  I did like just a crash
• 1:33:53
  course today on everything, but the, um,
• 1:33:58
  they released a new video
• 1:33:59
  series called beyond the
• 1:34:00
  athlete that debuted today.
• 1:34:03
  I watched it.
• 1:34:05
  It's kind of one of those
• 1:34:06
  where like they pose a
• 1:34:07
  question and then like two
• 1:34:10
  or three athletes answer the question.
• 1:34:12
  Yeah.
• 1:34:13
  And then they answer that a
• 1:34:16
  little bit more.
• 1:34:17
  Some of them are fitness related.
• 1:34:19
  Some of them are not.
• 1:34:24
  It was, I don't know.
• 1:34:28
  It was okay.
• 1:34:31
  With the promise of them
• 1:34:32
  doing more media coverage
• 1:34:33
  and more to get people
• 1:34:35
  pumped up about the WFP,
• 1:34:38
  I was expecting more,
• 1:34:39
  but I didn't see the Adler
• 1:34:40
  video because it got pulled
• 1:34:41
  before I could see it.
• 1:34:42
  But this was just meh to me.
• 1:34:47
  Yeah, this one was meh.
• 1:34:48
  The Adler one I did enjoy.
• 1:34:51
  I saw that one the day it
• 1:34:54
  was released before it got taken down.
• 1:34:56
  I liked that one.
• 1:34:57
  I got to see
• 1:34:59
  adler talked about a few
• 1:35:01
  things that he hadn't
• 1:35:01
  talked about before in
• 1:35:02
  terms of like his dad and
• 1:35:03
  stuff um but yeah I mean
• 1:35:09
  time will tell for the wfp
• 1:35:11
  and obviously their
• 1:35:12
  challenger stuff starts
• 1:35:14
  this week is it just the
• 1:35:15
  challenger division that
• 1:35:16
  starts this week or is it
• 1:35:17
  is there other divisions
• 1:35:19
  that are doing this
• 1:35:19
  qualifier is it just that
• 1:35:21
  you don't have to qualify
• 1:35:22
  for the other divisions
• 1:35:23
  it's just the first people
• 1:35:24
  to sign up it's a sign up thing cool um
• 1:35:27
  I probably said it better.
• 1:35:29
  I watched it.
• 1:35:30
  It was short and fun.
• 1:35:31
  Nothing groundbreaking,
• 1:35:32
  but I'll likely watch when
• 1:35:33
  they put out more.
• 1:35:34
  Yeah, it wasn't even that long.
• 1:35:36
  It was like twelve, thirteen minutes,
• 1:35:38
  something like that.
• 1:35:40
  And that that probably
• 1:35:41
  describes it better than my math.
• 1:35:43
  It was nothing groundbreaking.
• 1:35:46
  I'll probably watch the next
• 1:35:47
  one they put out.
• 1:35:49
  Alexis Raptus is like in every question.
• 1:35:52
  The other people kind of hit and miss.
• 1:35:54
  And I think it's just
• 1:35:55
  because she was more open
• 1:35:56
  about things she's doing
• 1:35:58
  and things she's battling
• 1:35:59
  and things she's going
• 1:36:00
  through than some of the other athletes.
• 1:36:04
  But if you like Alexis Raptus,
• 1:36:05
  you'll probably like this
• 1:36:06
  one because there's a
• 1:36:08
  little bit of Yonikoski,
• 1:36:09
  a little bit of Noah.
• 1:36:11
  And Emmental.
• 1:36:12
  And Emmental.
• 1:36:13
  but it's,
• 1:36:14
  it's pretty much the Alexis
• 1:36:16
  Raptor show on this one.
• 1:36:21
  So Lynn says Adler's was so fun.
• 1:36:29
  I related to him and Carolyn
• 1:36:30
  a whole lot more now.
• 1:36:33
  So I've always liked Jeff and Caroline.
• 1:36:36
  They've been,
• 1:36:38
  and we had Jeff on back before he,
• 1:36:41
  was a star.
• 1:36:43
  Do they not cook?
• 1:36:44
  Apparently, they don't cook.
• 1:36:47
  Yeah, they keep it simple, basically.
• 1:36:50
  They'll do food for a little bit,
• 1:36:52
  a couple days, and then nothing.
• 1:36:55
  It's very routine,
• 1:36:56
  which is what you expect.
• 1:36:57
  I think most of those athletes,
• 1:37:00
  I feel like,
• 1:37:01
  get a nutrition company that
• 1:37:03
  sends them food,
• 1:37:03
  which is a lot of times more blah.
• 1:37:06
  They'll sell it online,
• 1:37:07
  but I feel like it needs a
• 1:37:09
  lot of sauce or seasoning or very,
• 1:37:13
  or like their significant other will,
• 1:37:14
  will cook.
• 1:37:15
  I don't think a lot of them
• 1:37:16
  cook for themselves, which is sad.
• 1:37:21
  Lynn also said Emma T looked amazing,
• 1:37:22
  by the way.
• 1:37:24
  The one thing I will tell
• 1:37:26
  you that you learn in this
• 1:37:27
  is that she is madly,
• 1:37:28
  deeply in love with David Shrunkey.
• 1:37:31
  everything that she was
• 1:37:32
  asked about like who her um
• 1:37:35
  who her idol was or her but
• 1:37:39
  it's everything is david
• 1:37:41
  everything and and you can
• 1:37:43
  even hear the person behind
• 1:37:43
  a camera going you can't
• 1:37:45
  answer david for everything
• 1:37:48
  that's our best friend so
• 1:37:52
  uh see it was like like vi
• 1:37:54
  said it was good nothing
• 1:37:56
  earth breaking or nothing
• 1:37:57
  groundbreaking but um you know good
• 1:38:02
  And we'll see what else they bring out.
• 1:38:03
  And hopefully they figure
• 1:38:04
  out the copyright stuff and
• 1:38:06
  not break media agreements
• 1:38:10
  and copyright agreements.
• 1:38:12
  Well, in it,
• 1:38:13
  they had previewed like the
• 1:38:14
  next one was going to be
• 1:38:15
  like Laura Horvath.
• 1:38:16
  And they're probably
• 1:38:17
  backtracking now and making
• 1:38:19
  sure that that's going to
• 1:38:20
  be good before they put it
• 1:38:21
  out because of the
• 1:38:22
  copyright for the Jeff Adler one.
• 1:38:24
  Because it looked like the
• 1:38:25
  next one was Horvath that
• 1:38:26
  they were promoting at the very,
• 1:38:28
  very end of the episode.
• 1:38:31
  Yeah.
• 1:38:33
  It's interesting.
• 1:38:33
  Cause you would think the
• 1:38:36
  buttery bros would know
• 1:38:37
  that rule or have they been
• 1:38:39
  able to get away with it?
• 1:38:40
  Cause most of the stuff has
• 1:38:41
  been promoting CrossFit.
• 1:38:43
  That's probably true.
• 1:38:45
  And they just let it happen
• 1:38:47
  because you're promoting us.
• 1:38:50
  Now you're promoting these
• 1:38:51
  other people who are trying
• 1:38:51
  to start affiliates and do
• 1:38:53
  all this stuff.
• 1:38:54
  Now we're going to be strict.
• 1:38:57
  Yeah, probably.
• 1:38:59
  But that's CrossFit's job, right,
• 1:39:00
  is to protect their name.
• 1:39:02
  It's like when affiliates...
• 1:39:04
  I won't call them affiliates.
• 1:39:05
  When gyms claim that they're CrossFit gyms,
• 1:39:10
  but they haven't paid their affiliation,
• 1:39:12
  you want to make sure if
• 1:39:13
  you Google in the area,
• 1:39:15
  CrossFit gym and this,
• 1:39:16
  that another gym doesn't
• 1:39:18
  pop up that's not affiliated.
• 1:39:19
  CrossFit has, for a long time,
• 1:39:22
  done a lot of legal battles
• 1:39:23
  and stuff with...
• 1:39:25
  uh making sure that people
• 1:39:26
  don't use the name because
• 1:39:27
  it's you want it to be
• 1:39:29
  helping the affiliates that
• 1:39:30
  are paying the fees so I'm
• 1:39:33
  not surprised that
• 1:39:34
  crossfit's you know
• 1:39:36
  defending itself here like
• 1:39:37
  they they should I feel
• 1:39:40
  like that's their job
• 1:39:41
  that's what the affiliation
• 1:39:42
  fees also pay into is this
• 1:39:45
  kind of stuff to to protect the brand um
• 1:39:50
  Yeah,
• 1:39:50
  it'll just be interesting with the
• 1:39:51
  WFP and just the direction
• 1:39:53
  they'll go with their name and
• 1:39:57
  I mean, cause it's, it's CrossFit, right.
• 1:40:00
  Um, but I mean, I, again,
• 1:40:04
  I hope they're successful.
• 1:40:05
  I just,
• 1:40:06
  I just have a hard time seeing two
• 1:40:08
  competing leagues be successful.
• 1:40:10
  I've just seen it happen in
• 1:40:12
  my sports and it just didn't really work.
• 1:40:15
  It separated the sponsors and the fans.
• 1:40:17
  And I think until everyone's united, um,
• 1:40:20
  that's the only way forward to me.
• 1:40:23
  Um, but I mean, if I hope it works,
• 1:40:26
  obviously, like I don't, I want the most,
• 1:40:28
  the most amount of
• 1:40:29
  opportunities for athletes to,
• 1:40:32
  to make a living from, you know,
• 1:40:35
  a sport that we love.
• 1:40:37
  Um, I hope that, you know,
• 1:40:39
  to get to their people go
• 1:40:41
  and train that affiliates.
• 1:40:42
  Cause that's where, you know,
• 1:40:45
  the fittest are built.
• 1:40:48
  But yeah, it'll be interesting to see how,
• 1:40:50
  you know,
• 1:40:51
  this next year and just how it
• 1:40:52
  all plays out.
• 1:40:55
  Avai says on TEF, Sean said,
• 1:40:57
  there used to be copyright
• 1:40:58
  issues all the time when he worked there,
• 1:41:00
  and HQ never pursued anyone
• 1:41:02
  in this manner.
• 1:41:03
  But I understand why they're doing it.
• 1:41:05
  This seems like direct competition.
• 1:41:07
  I will tell you,
• 1:41:09
  I have seen people use the
• 1:41:11
  footage they got at the
• 1:41:12
  games in an illegal manner
• 1:41:14
  and watch them escorted out of the games,
• 1:41:17
  get their media credentials taken away,
• 1:41:19
  clipped off their wrist,
• 1:41:21
  and escorted out of the building.
• 1:41:23
  Now this is not at the games.
• 1:41:25
  Like this person took stuff,
• 1:41:28
  gave it to a company that
• 1:41:31
  was not affiliated with
• 1:41:32
  CrossFit and let them use
• 1:41:34
  that for advertising.
• 1:41:36
  Um, but yeah,
• 1:41:39
  I don't think there's ever
• 1:41:40
  been a direct competitor
• 1:41:42
  really coming after
• 1:41:42
  CrossFit like this and
• 1:41:45
  they're going to protect their house.
• 1:41:50
  Yeah.
• 1:41:50
  It's just, it's crazy.
• 1:41:51
  Cause like all of these things that,
• 1:41:53
  that are like different versions of,
• 1:41:56
  you know, CrossFit,
• 1:41:57
  like the high rocks is, is an event,
• 1:41:59
  right?
• 1:41:59
  It's not, but it, you know,
• 1:42:01
  if you go to a CrossFit affiliate,
• 1:42:03
  you can train very well for this event.
• 1:42:06
  Obviously you have to have
• 1:42:08
  extremely good running capacity,
• 1:42:09
  but it's just too bad that
• 1:42:11
  it's not all working
• 1:42:12
  together and just kind of
• 1:42:16
  yeah, just more working together.
• 1:42:17
  Like we can be promoting
• 1:42:19
  high rocks as they could be
• 1:42:20
  sending people to, you know,
• 1:42:22
  affiliates and vice versa.
• 1:42:24
  And we're sending athletes
• 1:42:25
  to their events and same with the WFP and,
• 1:42:30
  you know, and just really grow together.
• 1:42:33
  Um, yeah, it's a missed opportunity,
• 1:42:38
  I guess, but, um,
• 1:42:41
  we are long so I'm gonna cut
• 1:42:44
  it we didn't even talk
• 1:42:45
  about crossfit getting sold
• 1:42:47
  or being put up for sale old news
• 1:42:51
  Um,
• 1:42:51
  but hopefully we'll learn more about
• 1:42:52
  that as we move forward and we can,
• 1:42:55
  next week we will,
• 1:42:56
  we'll just close out and we
• 1:42:59
  won't have any new workout to talk about.
• 1:43:00
  We'll have some of the
• 1:43:02
  challenger stuff for the
• 1:43:03
  WFP to talk about some stuff like that,
• 1:43:06
  but, uh, we'll be back next week.
• 1:43:09
  We'll get into more detail
• 1:43:10
  about what WFP is doing as
• 1:43:11
  their challenger is live
• 1:43:14
  and the challenger qualifier.
• 1:43:17
  We'll look at who is going for it.
• 1:43:19
  I saw one of the three of us
• 1:43:21
  on the leaderboard already
• 1:43:23
  in the Challenger leaderboard.
• 1:43:26
  Just so you know,
• 1:43:27
  I put my hand in the ring.
• 1:43:28
  I got my confidence up after this open.
• 1:43:33
  Not.
• 1:43:34
  Not me.
• 1:43:35
  But one of the three of us has signed up.
• 1:43:38
  I haven't decided yet
• 1:43:39
  whether I'm doing it.
• 1:43:41
  I put my money in there just
• 1:43:42
  to support them right away.
• 1:43:44
  But
• 1:43:47
  Well, we'll see.
• 1:43:49
  So next week we'll talk about that.
• 1:43:50
  We'll talk about the
• 1:43:52
  leaderboard and the qualifiers.
• 1:43:53
  We'll talk about the sale of CrossFit.
• 1:43:55
  We'll talk about anything
• 1:43:57
  else that comes out about
• 1:43:57
  the WFP and we'll finish up
• 1:43:59
  twenty five point three
• 1:44:01
  plus anything else that
• 1:44:02
  comes out in the CrossFit
• 1:44:03
  space as well as you.
