CRASH Crescendo Workouts Revealed, XENOM Founder Joins, CrossFit Open Updates & Wodapalooza Recap · The Spin Podcast

• 0:13
  Ladies and gentlemen, the Rostic Games Open starts now.
• 0:46
  Welcome to the Spin. We're back on Wednesday.
• 0:49
  It's good to be back on Wednesday night.
• 0:53
  Thanks for everybody that was joining us last week.
• 0:55
  Regularly scheduled program. We got a busy packed show and so
• 1:00
  we better just go ahead and get straight into it.
• 1:03
  You guys have probably, we talked about it, you've probably
• 1:06
  seen the articles I've written. We have the guy behind
• 1:09
  everything. The Zenom himself.
• 1:12
  Yeah, Mr. Zenom, that's that's how it works around here.
• 1:15
  That is your last name, Keith Zenom.
• 1:17
  I'll. Take it.
• 1:19
  Keith Barlow, welcome to the show.
• 1:21
  How are you doing? I Before we start, I I don't
• 1:25
  want to tell you how to do your business, but you need to wear
• 1:27
  some very futuristic spacesuit whenever you like.
• 1:30
  Zenom, that would be amazing. Yeah.
• 1:36
  Just think about it, Mull it over.
• 1:38
  Yeah, I should. Sorry.
• 1:39
  I should have had a helmet on. Yeah, helmet.
• 1:41
  Maybe it's like a little silver spacesuit that'd.
• 1:45
  Be cool. Tell us, how did the name come
• 1:46
  about? Oh, everyone wants to know this.
• 1:50
  I wouldn't have thought that it was like such an interesting
• 1:52
  thing. Never.
• 1:53
  Never mind a. Lot of time, a lot of times when
• 1:56
  they have this like you can like, you know, you just like
• 1:58
  search, like what is the meaning of Xenon?
• 2:00
  You know, get some type of like, you know, Greek or ancient type,
• 2:04
  you know, thing that kind of references and what you've kind
• 2:07
  of built it off of, but there's nothing out there for it.
• 2:10
  No, I mean, if I'm being honest, when you think about the naming
• 2:14
  for this sort of a thing, like it's very tempting to go down
• 2:18
  and, and often people will go down a name that like conveys a
• 2:22
  certain meaning or a feeling like it's judgement or something
• 2:25
  like that. Kind of the art, especially if
• 2:28
  you're thinking, OK, we want to really own this space.
• 2:33
  We want to own an idea is for it not to have connection to
• 2:36
  anything else. Obviously X there's 10 events,
• 2:39
  but I if you think that there's like more background to it, like
• 2:43
  there's, there's really not. I know that everyone enjoys the
• 2:46
  apocryphal high rocks hybrid rock star like, oh, like that's
• 2:51
  the reason. But we were looking for a name
• 2:54
  that we thought was distinctive, a name that would give us kind
• 2:58
  of ownership or something, make it clear that we're obviously
• 3:00
  we're a CrossFit competition, but we're something very
• 3:02
  different as well. And then the Decathlon of
• 3:05
  Fitness we thought was a really cool tagline.
• 3:08
  It fit the, it fit what we were doing.
• 3:12
  And I think the, if you were to ask people like 30 years, I
• 3:16
  always think of decathlon as like CrossFit before CrossFit.
• 3:19
  Like if you were to ask people 30 years ago, who's the fittest
• 3:22
  person in the world, 100% they would have said the fittest
• 3:25
  decathlete. And I think that we were very
• 3:27
  much of the, the thought, the thought process when we were
• 3:31
  coming up with the idea of the sport and, and how to structure
• 3:34
  the season, how to create something that obviously is very
• 3:38
  recognizably CrossFit, but that then standardizes and creates a
• 3:42
  format that that is comparable, that is global, that decathlon
• 3:47
  is a fantastic sport kind of holding our holding our minds.
• 3:51
  It's something that, yeah, has a great system, has a great
• 3:54
  structure and, and I think gives people a good understanding of,
• 3:57
  of who we are and what we're doing.
• 3:59
  Were there any names that like you look back on the like rough
• 4:02
  draft names that you were like, we almost went with this and it
• 4:04
  was just I'm so glad we didn't like a.
• 4:08
  Thousand of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 4:12
  We went down, we went down loads of different routes.
• 4:15
  Is it it's a it's a funny one. Like people will say, oh, Xenon,
• 4:20
  that's weird. But five years ago, so my, my
• 4:24
  background was I ran an agency called fittest fittest is APR
• 4:30
  and creative agency. We do a lot of work with Brian.
• 4:32
  We do a lot of work with people in the space, but but with high
• 4:36
  rocks. And so we started working with
• 4:39
  High Rocks right in their infancy, right at the start of
• 4:42
  it, before everyone in the world knew what it was and before it
• 4:44
  was the same fitness racing thing.
• 4:46
  And like everyone, when we first A, it was like Hydrox.
• 4:50
  Like what's Hydrox? I've caught it that at least 17
• 4:53
  times. And B, people were like running,
• 4:59
  who the fuck who is ever going to do 8 kilometers of running
• 5:03
  and eight functional? You guys are idiots.
• 5:06
  And we had that conversation so often.
• 5:08
  But now once you get over once, once you, you get over that hump
• 5:13
  of like, oh, it's unfamiliar. I'm not used to it.
• 5:16
  Then suddenly high rocks rolls off the tongue and xenom 2
• 5:20
  syllables. I mean, it's it's only been out
• 5:22
  in the public for a few weeks and I feel like you say Xenom
• 5:27
  and anybody that's been like clued in and like in that
• 5:30
  follows the the like the news space of it knows what you're
• 5:33
  talking about now, which I think is, you know, you're saying like
• 5:38
  it's not, it's not based off of anything else.
• 5:42
  Yeah. And that's been super cool to
• 5:45
  see. I mean, we obviously had
• 5:47
  expectations for when we launched.
• 5:49
  And I always thought that this was meaningful.
• 5:51
  I thought that it was a really, I always thought that it was
• 5:54
  going to be successful. And obviously we put a good
• 5:56
  portfolio of people around behind us and bring people into
• 6:00
  that team now as we grow. But the response really has been
• 6:04
  pretty incredible. Like I think we had this basic
• 6:07
  thought process, which was there are two million Crossfitters who
• 6:13
  are still in CrossFit affiliates.
• 6:15
  There's like another 2 million of them in like the broader
• 6:17
  ecosystem. And there's like a wider pool of
• 6:20
  people outside of that that are generally interested in
• 6:23
  constantly very functional movements performed at
• 6:25
  relatively high intensity and who are pursuing this broad work
• 6:28
  capacity across time, but that didn't have competition for
• 6:34
  them. And I don't mean when when I say
• 6:36
  that I don't mean that the Open isn't a competition.
• 6:39
  And I don't mean that the Rogue invitation isn't a competition.
• 6:41
  And I don't mean the CrossFit Games isn't a competition, but
• 6:45
  they're all very different things.
• 6:48
  And that there was this gap kind of CrossFit Games level
• 6:53
  experience for a person in a gym that has like these multiple
• 6:58
  access points. So like you could take apart in
• 7:01
  a Xenom in like the compete category, which is like your
• 7:04
  scaled version where you're doing handstand push ups to an
• 7:07
  AB mat and you're doing like basic pull ups.
• 7:10
  And it's an amazing, obviously tough test of 10 events.
• 7:16
  And then that could scale to the elite version, but also scale
• 7:19
  even further where you turn it into a pairs competition and you
• 7:22
  cut the work in half and create this kind of this sport that
• 7:27
  people could then really understand.
• 7:31
  And that was our, our basic idea was, hey, I think that this
• 7:33
  probably works. And from the response that we've
• 7:36
  had from how people have responded to tickets, from how
• 7:39
  people have just responded on socials, I mean, we added 11 1/2
• 7:43
  thousand followers super, super quickly.
• 7:46
  I think it's clear to me that that demand is out there in the
• 7:49
  market and and people love CrossFit like.
• 7:53
  Yeah, so like this has been out for a few weeks, but I I can't
• 7:57
  imagine like a few weeks plus one is when you came up with the
• 8:00
  idea, like what, what was that like that moment where you go, I
• 8:05
  have this idea, how do I take it from all right, I want to create
• 8:09
  this event that that's 10 events.
• 8:13
  And you start thinking through it and it's like, well, how do I
• 8:14
  even get to a point where I can launch?
• 8:17
  Like what is that process? How long has that been?
• 8:19
  Who have you worked with to? Get to this.
• 8:22
  Stage. So I would say like 9 months
• 8:26
  start to finish, so. It's faster than I would expect.
• 8:31
  Nine months is like the short term.
• 8:34
  There's like a philosophical answer there, which is a decade
• 8:36
  because. There it is.
• 8:39
  CrossFit. CrossFit was like the most
• 8:41
  foundational, transformational thing in my life.
• 8:44
  Like when I was younger, when I was like a young man, I was
• 8:49
  pretty overweight, not particularly happy.
• 8:52
  Found CrossFit genuinely the most transformational thing in
• 8:55
  my life. Met my wife in a CrossFit gym,
• 8:58
  built my first business in a CrossFit and experienced this
• 9:01
  like truly transformational power of training and
• 9:04
  competition. And it was so fundamental that I
• 9:08
  can't like, I can't talk about this business without talking
• 9:10
  about that experience that I had and like how beneficial like
• 9:16
  competition was for me, like during that period.
• 9:19
  And I think it's really clear that people, people train.
• 9:23
  They stay in the affiliates, they commit into training, they
• 9:27
  pursue when they have something to train for.
• 9:29
  So that's like the philosophical answer.
• 9:31
  But the real answer of like nuts and bolts is like really put it
• 9:35
  together and put the thought process together.
• 9:37
  About nine months ago, went out, raised, raised a bit of money
• 9:42
  from Wandeco, which is a venture capital company.
• 9:46
  It was the two managing partners.
• 9:48
  This guy called Jeffrey Katzenberg, who was the founder
• 9:52
  of DreamWorks Animations, and then he was the CEO at Disney,
• 9:55
  and then a guy called CJ Jaswa, who was one of the founders at
• 9:59
  Dropbox. So 2.
• 10:00
  Did it take did it take a lot of convincing?
• 10:03
  Like what was their initial thought when you approach them
• 10:05
  and say I want to build something that's this grand?
• 10:08
  I will say like to I don't know if they are like if they do any
• 10:13
  sort of fitness or if they work out at all.
• 10:15
  But to pitch this to non fitness dudes, I feel like I mean like
• 10:19
  really good business people can see through stuff that they
• 10:22
  don't really have experience in. But I feel like that would be
• 10:25
  the hardest mountain to to conquer.
• 10:27
  So, so both understood the fitness space, both, both both
• 10:30
  understood what's going on. And I think you can look at like
• 10:32
  the broader demographic of, of like events and in person real
• 10:36
  experiences. And you can look at high rocks,
• 10:39
  you can look at even like just look at like marathons, look at
• 10:42
  look at any of these like big mass participation, experiential
• 10:46
  events, like especially post COVID, like this is a world that
• 10:50
  that people absolutely crave. We're in a more and more digital
• 10:54
  world. Physical in person experiences
• 10:57
  ground people in their physical self and connect people in a way
• 11:01
  that very little else does. That is a secret that we've
• 11:04
  known in CrossFit boxes for for many, many years like that.
• 11:07
  That grounding that it, that deep relationship with your
• 11:10
  physical self and that development of physical autonomy
• 11:13
  is a groundbreaking, unbelievable thing.
• 11:17
  And you can look at that wider market experience and you can
• 11:23
  look at all of the the products that are being produced and, and
• 11:26
  the huge demand for them. Like, High Rocks just sold out
• 11:30
  eight days in New York, that's 40,000 people.
• 11:33
  And they sold it out in 24 hours.
• 11:35
  And then they opened another two days and then they sold it out
• 11:38
  again. Like the demand, the demand is,
• 11:42
  is huge in there. And so, yeah, Jeff and Jeff and
• 11:46
  CJ can't speak highly enough of them.
• 11:48
  Kind of saw saw the vision of what we wanted to do.
• 11:51
  And I think you can look at the CrossFit space and it's really
• 11:54
  clear that the competition space is there.
• 11:58
  I went to Water Palooza this weekend.
• 12:00
  It was packed. Yeah.
• 12:02
  It's pumping when it wasn't raining, biblical rain.
• 12:08
  And you can look at the other events in the space and see,
• 12:11
  hey, there's there's an opportunity to build a really,
• 12:14
  really cool business and that global population of people like
• 12:17
  when I can't tell you how hard High Rocks was at the start to
• 12:21
  like, make people want to do it. Like we had to create a genus.
• 12:27
  We had to create like a new genus of athletes.
• 12:29
  Like we had to create these people that wanted to run and do
• 12:32
  functional fitness and, and we called it fitness racing, but we
• 12:35
  had to like create that. And there's 1.8 million people
• 12:38
  doing it this year. When you look at CrossFit, I was
• 12:42
  like, oh, there's 4 million people out there already doing
• 12:45
  this thing. Like if I can make a really
• 12:48
  great competition that people really enjoy.
• 12:50
  And I think when people come to Dallas and they come to the
• 12:52
  first one and they see that we've got framework working on
• 12:57
  it who one of the event partners that everyone knows in the space
• 13:01
  have run all of the biggest investor events.
• 13:03
  We've just hired Wilson Pack. We've got Rogue on board like.
• 13:06
  Wait, Hold on. Hold on.
• 13:07
  Hold on. Hold on.
• 13:07
  You hired Wilson Pack. Hey, I know that guy.
• 13:12
  Yeah, yeah. For those who don't know, he is
• 13:14
  the the guy behind Syndicate ground.
• 13:17
  So yeah. So we've just hired him this
• 13:20
  event, like people will be when the images and everything come
• 13:24
  out. People should have gone to that.
• 13:27
  And that's what we have with High Rocks as well.
• 13:29
  It's like the yeah, once, once people see it.
• 13:33
  And there are 4 million people out there in the world already
• 13:35
  doing CrossFit that love this. And like, CrossFit is like built
• 13:39
  in competitors. Like, you're training at 6:00 in
• 13:43
  the morning and you're working out next to Jeff, the insurance
• 13:45
  salesman, and you're both, like, crushing yourselves trying to
• 13:48
  beat each other at 7 minutes of burpees.
• 13:51
  Like, tell me that guy doesn't want to come and do it in the
• 13:53
  Dallas Cowboys stadium in front of his wife and kids.
• 13:55
  And like make his thing that he does in the dark and in the cold
• 13:59
  and like a little bit niche and a little bit in a way like bring
• 14:02
  it out into the light. Yeah, when I I look at it like
• 14:06
  bringing the CrossFit Games to your average gym goer, your
• 14:11
  regular Crossfitter, this is your opportunity to see what the
• 14:15
  CrossFit Games is like for and you and you get to go do it.
• 14:20
  Yeah, exactly, exactly. And like exactly that that's
• 14:23
  our, our vision is OK, that that CrossFit Games level experience.
• 14:27
  Crossfit's a bit of an odd sport in that the best version of the
• 14:30
  sport in the world. No, no, Crossfit's an amazing,
• 14:34
  the best version of the sport only like 20 guys and 20 girls
• 14:38
  get to do. And if you've ever done any
• 14:40
  other form of like high level sport, you know how incredible
• 14:43
  that feeling is. Like when you go out on the
• 14:45
  field and you get that Super Bowl moment and and you get to
• 14:48
  be kind of the hero of your own story for a couple of days.
• 14:52
  And that's an incredible thing that you can then go and give to
• 14:55
  the people in the space that are that are already doing it, that
• 14:58
  are already training for it and have already built this.
• 15:00
  Like, I think people like kind of forget how incredible.
• 15:05
  The. Broad work capacity across time
• 15:07
  and modal domains that Crossfitters build, like the
• 15:10
  fitness and the physical capacity that people build in
• 15:13
  this space, it blows everyone else out of the water.
• 15:16
  There's a reason that the CrossFit Games finds the fittest
• 15:18
  on Earth like, and there's nothing out there at the moment
• 15:23
  that lets people display that in a test that is designed for them
• 15:26
  and captures that that broad capacity.
• 15:29
  And the, and the rest of the world just doesn't get it.
• 15:32
  They don't, they don't understand.
• 15:33
  Like I tell people this all the time, like if my wife gets down
• 15:36
  on herself because she's getting beat by Jeanette in a random
• 15:40
  workout, like like babe to your work colleagues and like to
• 15:47
  like, if you just go grocery shopping, you're the fittest
• 15:50
  person there. You're the freak.
• 15:52
  They think you're the fitness freak, but you, you know, you,
• 15:57
  you look at Tia Tumi all day and you think that you're not fit.
• 16:01
  But like, it's, it's insane. She's listening.
• 16:08
  But like, like just for your your regular CrossFit gin pop,
• 16:14
  you are in the 1% of the world. And it's, it's insane.
• 16:19
  And, and then it's like if you can take it for those people and
• 16:24
  give them the opportunity to put that fitness to the test.
• 16:27
  And obviously like it's a hard test.
• 16:30
  It's 10 events over 2 days. Like it's meant to be tough.
• 16:34
  There's obviously accessible entry points into it where you
• 16:37
  do it as a pair. You can split the work up, you
• 16:40
  can make it easier for yourself. But wherever you do it, like
• 16:43
  it's going to be incredible and you get to take and show like
• 16:48
  the people around you, what this fitness thing you do is in in
• 16:53
  the best venues in the world. I think that's incredibly
• 16:56
  exciting and incredibly, like powerful for those people.
• 17:03
  Yeah, John, John's over there in Houston, so it's not too far of
• 17:06
  a drive. John only coaches moms.
• 17:08
  OK. I don't only coach moms the that
• 17:12
  just seems to be the clientele. Market that's a targeted
• 17:15
  demographic that. Goes my way.
• 17:18
  So, so you come up with an idea nine months ago, Wonderco throws
• 17:23
  money at you and they're like, yes, let's do this.
• 17:26
  I now need to make 10 events. How does that process go?
• 17:30
  Like where? How did you come up with 10
• 17:32
  events? Want a specific?
• 17:36
  Programming. Yeah, if you want to share the
• 17:38
  10th 1:00, there's 236 people that would love to hear it.
• 17:41
  But no. Tell us about the start of the.
• 17:46
  Yeah, exactly. Done.
• 17:47
  Yeah. Just give me 10 events, please
• 17:49
  tell me. No, I mean, it's a, it's an
• 17:52
  interesting challenge no one's ever had to think about way
• 17:57
  before, which is make it, make it a great test, make it
• 18:03
  something that captures broad work capacity across time and
• 18:06
  modal domains. Make sure it scales across not
• 18:10
  just like 2 events, but scales to 10 to 20 to 30 to 40 to 50.
• 18:15
  When you start getting into that like you start.
• 18:17
  Getting competitions, Tyler, not events.
• 18:19
  Oh, OK. The our terminologies here.
• 18:23
  Sorry. So it's a competition?
• 18:24
  I was like, what? Yeah, that's a competition with
• 18:29
  10 events inside it. You start then getting into like
• 18:33
  the logistics of, OK, how do I move all of this kit all the way
• 18:37
  around the world? Like how do you make that work?
• 18:39
  And you have to then work within some constraints on that front.
• 18:43
  We also didn't want to work with specifically, I didn't want to
• 18:47
  work with a named programmer or like a named camp or something
• 18:52
  to design the events because obviously everyone in the
• 18:55
  CrossFit space has an opinion about everyone else.
• 18:58
  So we worked with Motion Serviton, which is a gym in the
• 19:02
  UK. They came forth with the
• 19:04
  CrossFit Games and the teams in 2024.
• 19:08
  Really great a group of guys, very, very experienced multiple
• 19:12
  time regional semis athletes, programmed a lot, owned 2
• 19:17
  affiliates as well in the UK with 600 members.
• 19:20
  So had like the obviously what we've built is we want the elite
• 19:26
  athletes to come and have a go at it and it needs to test them
• 19:28
  and it needs to be an incredible test for them.
• 19:31
  But it really has to serve the person in the affiliate and it
• 19:35
  has to give the person in the affiliates something to go and
• 19:38
  train for, but also then the affiliate owners something to
• 19:41
  coach around. That was the way that we thought
• 19:43
  about it. So, yeah, we worked with them.
• 19:47
  I have my, I have my L1 and my L2, but I am not, I am not Mr.
• 19:52
  Programmer. So we went and we went and
• 19:55
  found, yeah, the right people to go and program it.
• 19:58
  And look, it's CrossFit. And so everyone is going to have
• 20:03
  an opinion. People are going to be like I
• 20:05
  would have done. Overhead pistol squats.
• 20:08
  That's the best. That's the.
• 20:10
  Best test. Hey, let's not get into grid
• 20:12
  grid talk here, OK? This is this is not that podcast
• 20:15
  and. That was a big that was a big
• 20:17
  thing was like we didn't want it to become they had to be.
• 20:21
  You can, you can look at this sort of the creating this sort
• 20:25
  of a test and you can get really complicated and you can really
• 20:29
  over engineer it. And what you want is it to look
• 20:33
  good and to be a good test for the elites, but to test everyone
• 20:38
  across the board at a similar rate, something that you can
• 20:41
  assign specific values to. So we use this, we use the elite
• 20:45
  performance Index. So all that is, is, is the same
• 20:48
  scoring system as Decathlon. So essentially you either have
• 20:52
  to have a Rep denominated workout or you have a time
• 20:56
  denominated workout. If it's Rep denominated, then
• 20:59
  you award points per repetition or you award points per second
• 21:05
  in a time denominated workout. And those workouts they either
• 21:08
  sit linearly so you award points on a linear basis or you do them
• 21:13
  with a slight C curve. So you either flatten the top or
• 21:16
  you flatten the bottom that you have to.
• 21:20
  It's a super complicated process to make that system work
• 21:23
  properly, but if? You get.
• 21:27
  It's just I'm picturing Keith trying to explain this to other
• 21:32
  people. Keith, I don't know if you know
• 21:34
  this, It created a scoring system that basically does this,
• 21:39
  but it does it like to the field that exists at the time.
• 21:43
  OK, so the 100 is the. It's not a grand field, it's a
• 21:46
  field per competition. It's it's like a real time
• 21:49
  equation every time where you have a set equation that the
• 21:53
  standards can shift if somebody tops it right.
• 21:56
  And the hardest part is that people don't get how hard this
• 22:00
  part is to sell it quickly and make people even barely
• 22:04
  understand it. Yeah, that's the best way I can
• 22:08
  think to. Describe.
• 22:09
  Yeah, it's it's. But he's got the Decathlon to go
• 22:11
  back on, so he can just be like, guys, you don't get it.
• 22:14
  It works like the Decathlon, it's just CrossFit.
• 22:16
  Yeah, mine was made from scratch.
• 22:18
  Yeah, Tyler's like I got to walk you through five different
• 22:21
  graphs to get to the point. Your your model is.
• 22:24
  We looked at that as a as a model of score.
• 22:28
  If you well see Keith, The thing is the call's now over because
• 22:32
  you didn't go with it. So thank you.
• 22:33
  For your. Time, Tyler, just Tyler just got
• 22:37
  so excited. Obviously we're doing different
• 22:42
  things like we're designing a system that we want to work for
• 22:46
  hundreds of thousands of people. And if you then have this model
• 22:49
  where you adjust essentially for every world Rep, basically what
• 22:52
  you're saying is you adjust for every world record that then
• 22:55
  becomes your like 1000 points score and and the system
• 22:58
  adjusts. So you're not doing that.
• 23:00
  No. So in our there is a theoretical
• 23:04
  1000 points. So we award, say, we award 7
• 23:08
  points per Rep for whatever the workout is, and 1000 points
• 23:13
  would be the best possible score that an elite Crossfitter would
• 23:18
  get. Not necessarily the best score
• 23:19
  that like if it's the snatch, not necessarily the score that
• 23:22
  an Olympic lifter is going to get.
• 23:24
  So an Olympic lifter might turn up and say, we say I'm not going
• 23:29
  to give any of it away because we've not actually revealed it
• 23:31
  yet. But say, say theoretically, we
• 23:34
  set an elite snatch score for men at 150 kilos, but then an
• 23:40
  Olympic weightlifter turns up and he's just like, hey, I'm
• 23:43
  going to come and do this. I'm going to come last on every
• 23:45
  event. But I just want to do the, I
• 23:47
  just want to do the snatch and I'm going to get 100 and yeah,
• 23:50
  and I'm going to get 1150 points then.
• 23:54
  That's the way our system works. So you can get over the 1000
• 23:57
  points. Oh, you can't go.
• 23:58
  OK, so it just said to put. OK, cool.
• 24:01
  I thought. I thought if it got broken then
• 24:04
  the standard resets and that's the new 1000 points.
• 24:08
  That makes it really difficult because then you have to like
• 24:10
  reset every historical record. You're constantly like changing
• 24:16
  the field. Whereas like if you have this
• 24:18
  system, then your results from this year versus next year, it's
• 24:23
  really easy to look at and say, OK, the person who won this year
• 24:26
  got 8500 points and then next year was 8700 points.
• 24:31
  And the quality of the field has shifted consistently because
• 24:34
  then you can make it's one. It's probably the the best
• 24:37
  debate in CrossFit, like who is better, Rich Froning or Matt
• 24:40
  Fraser. And it's impossible to ever.
• 24:42
  No, it's not. But it's impossible to make a
• 24:47
  direct comparison. Yeah, but you know the answer.
• 24:50
  Yeah, I have no. Answer.
• 24:51
  I have no opinion on you. Oh, you do though.
• 24:55
  Well, if you don't, then we'll invite you in the next show and
• 24:58
  I will change whatever opinion you do have.
• 25:01
  From a sports talk standpoint, this is really cool because you
• 25:05
  know, you can say like if if the Max score is 100 on any event,
• 25:09
  you can be like, well, the Max score ever achieved in this, you
• 25:12
  know, in the snatch event is 110 points or whatever.
• 25:15
  I think that that I'd like that you're not resetting it.
• 25:19
  I think that makes it. Would there be go ahead span?
• 25:22
  Yeah. Do you, I think probably on the
• 25:24
  same page as you John, like if you had created this in 2012, I
• 25:29
  think the athletes today would be over 1000 points every event.
• 25:33
  Yeah, and that. That wasn't my question.
• 25:35
  Do do you have any concerns about in like in 15 years like a
• 25:41
  330 LB snatch is not going to be?
• 25:44
  I actually think we're tapped out for strength, but go ahead,
• 25:47
  it's. Been.
• 25:47
  Yeah, I was going. To say I I think, but like a cap
• 25:49
  out at 3330 or in like that's not a huge issue for more
• 25:54
  athletes, but they can also run faster or do things faster than
• 25:59
  we had thought today. I think that one of the things
• 26:03
  that makes like firstly not a huge concern because then the
• 26:07
  scoring system just moves on. Someone becomes someone.
• 26:11
  I think that the person, the best person in this is probably
• 26:14
  like an 8 and a half 8 1/2 thousand point athlete.
• 26:18
  When when we start, say in 10 years time, like that's really
• 26:22
  progressed, then those brackets just start to move and OK,
• 26:26
  that's an 11,000 point athlete. Like that's that's not the end
• 26:29
  of the world. Like you still.
• 26:30
  It would be an achievement to be over 10,000 if we would probably
• 26:34
  make a big deal of like if somebody got over 10,000, like
• 26:37
  the first person to ever break 10,000 would be would be like
• 26:41
  Eddie Hall's deadlift. Yeah, yeah.
• 26:43
  It would be like, oh wow, OK, this person is.
• 26:46
  Really. Like that's Xenom's 4 minute
• 26:48
  mile. Yeah, And that's like no one
• 26:50
  ever changes. If you think about it, you take
• 26:53
  that perspective, but no one ever changes the 200 meters
• 26:57
  because Usain Bolt ran it too fast.
• 26:59
  But no one's ever like, hey, guys, this scoring system, it
• 27:03
  doesn't work anymore. We need to put some ankles on
• 27:05
  his weights. Like we need to make it harder.
• 27:07
  Like like in the traditional sense of like athletics or or
• 27:13
  that kind of that kind of a challenge.
• 27:17
  Like you just look for continued better performance.
• 27:19
  And you say this is a really good test.
• 27:21
  And I think that's super key here is the test stays the same.
• 27:27
  But for anyone who is thinking about doing a Xenon, like the
• 27:29
  way to get better at the test is obviously not just doing the
• 27:32
  same 10 tests over again. Like the best way of getting
• 27:35
  better at this is going to be continuing to practice
• 27:38
  constantly varied functional movements performed at
• 27:40
  relatively high intensity, maybe with some more specialization,
• 27:43
  maybe with some more focus around it.
• 27:45
  And I've had some really interesting conversations with
• 27:47
  coaches who are like, OK, how do I pick this apart?
• 27:51
  Like if I have six months to get someone ready, like how do I
• 27:55
  actually go and pursue this? I think it'll be really
• 27:59
  interesting. Like I'm, I'm genuinely really
• 28:01
  interested to see how people approach the training for it.
• 28:04
  I'm interested to see how they approach taking part in it.
• 28:07
  Yeah. They, the athletic, you know,
• 28:11
  the training aspect of it is really cool.
• 28:13
  The the hardest part about CrossFit when you're training is
• 28:17
  you. You never know what you're going
• 28:18
  to get when you actually get to the competition.
• 28:21
  And what's cool about high rocks is people know what paces they
• 28:25
  need to hit if they want to be competitive.
• 28:27
  And then if they want to like really start, you know, you
• 28:29
  listen to hunter talk about high rocks and it's like he knows
• 28:32
  what he needs to be doing in training.
• 28:33
  He knows what you know, what good times are and his his
• 28:38
  training dials in because of that.
• 28:39
  And you can do that with Xenon where you could you could never
• 28:44
  do that before. Like you know on and you know,
• 28:47
  you know you're going to need to hit X like you can even back
• 28:50
  calculate for me, I'm not a good snatcher.
• 28:53
  So it's like if I want to do well across the competition and
• 28:56
  I know that I'm going to hit like, I don't know, 225 or
• 28:59
  something, I know that I need to make up for it here in this
• 29:03
  piece because I can't do well in the snatch piece.
• 29:06
  So I think like coaches like this is a really good
• 29:10
  opportunity for coaches to open up a whole new.
• 29:13
  And once you do one, once you do one, you'll have a whole a whole
• 29:17
  score sheet to see. Well my snatch is 600 points, so
• 29:22
  do I have an easier time making that 800 or an easier time
• 29:26
  making the 3K run 2K ski faster? Right?
• 29:32
  They're gaining ground on that. And this was my whole, this was,
• 29:35
  this was the reason that I created the scoring system I
• 29:38
  created, because Sam Dancer was never going to be able to do
• 29:42
  like a good 7K run. Like he just can't train enough.
• 29:46
  He's too strong, he's too big. He's never going to do that.
• 29:48
  This gives. Somebody.
• 29:51
  Yeah, and it's like this gives him an opportunity to be like,
• 29:54
  OK, I know I'm just going to suck at that event.
• 29:56
  Problem. It sucks to have that.
• 30:00
  Well, like if you look at like the Tour de France, like a Sam
• 30:02
  dancer would be like a like a Sprint specialist in the Tour de
• 30:05
  France, who, who, who wins specific stages and stuff like
• 30:08
  that. Yeah, Do you know how big the
• 30:11
  sprinters are in the Tour de France?
• 30:13
  Probably not as big as Sand Dancer.
• 30:15
  They're 100 and they're 165 lbs. Yeah, huge, huge.
• 30:19
  But. Their quads make up a belt, so
• 30:21
  I'm. Just I'm just, I'm just saying
• 30:23
  like they're like, yeah, I, I he'd be a specialist in Xena.
• 30:28
  Yeah, this, this whole point brings me to my second business
• 30:31
  pitch, which is I think you have an opportunity with and this one
• 30:35
  again mulled over you, you get the camps that exist and you let
• 30:41
  them have teams now. Don't make this mistake where
• 30:44
  you you have them, you know. I'm really listening now.
• 30:48
  Like I think he knows what he wants to do, Tyler, but don't
• 30:51
  go. Ahead, don't have them do the
• 30:54
  workouts. You can either have them do the
• 30:56
  workouts together, maybe have like a team of four, but that
• 30:59
  way you can accentuate your specialists.
• 31:02
  But then they take other events off and different things like
• 31:04
  that. I think the camps would like
• 31:06
  really eat. Oh, I see.
• 31:07
  What? That's here, too.
• 31:08
  Yeah, you could have a strength specialist.
• 31:10
  Yeah, endurance specialist, gymnastics, I mean.
• 31:13
  We've thought. About 3.
• 31:15
  Yeah, we've thought about a lot of stuff, but like I don't, I
• 31:18
  don't particularly want to get into like a grid system where
• 31:21
  you have like these super specialists.
• 31:23
  I don't grid. Super cool special.
• 31:27
  No, it's like super cool sport doing that, like hyper
• 31:31
  specialism where then people are like bounce cleaning 140 for
• 31:36
  like a set of eight or something.
• 31:38
  And but that's what they do. I think that we really value the
• 31:43
  overall athleticism and the the the beneficial characteristics
• 31:49
  of being generally well, broad adaptive fitness.
• 31:53
  Like if you go and read, I went and read like a lot of like the
• 31:57
  very early like CrossFit journal stuffs.
• 31:59
  And if you read like Glassman just like talking about sport
• 32:03
  and he's basically saying, hey, if you squat 900 lbs, I know you
• 32:08
  don't run a 4 minute mile. If you run a 4 minute mile, then
• 32:12
  I know that you probably can't deadlift 2 times your body
• 32:15
  weight like and, and those aren't whilst you want to, you
• 32:18
  want to keep this constantly varied functional movements.
• 32:22
  We want to standardize it, but we don't want to lose the spread
• 32:26
  of that generally beneficial broad adaptive fitness.
• 32:30
  So I wouldn't want to encourage people down that route, but I
• 32:35
  think this is a really interesting moment and
• 32:37
  opportunity for the sport to yeah, what happens with the
• 32:41
  camps? Like how do they approach it?
• 32:43
  We will release our our full season structure.
• 32:46
  There will be incentives there for people to perform well,
• 32:50
  100%. And I think so when we were when
• 32:55
  I was coming up with the idea, I spoke a lot with affiliate
• 32:58
  owners and I think affiliate owners probably have the same
• 33:02
  experiences as anyone who's running a programming business
• 33:04
  or or trying to coach me from CrossFit for whatever thing.
• 33:07
  And I, I can't hearing 2 pieces of feedback like 1 was Hyrox has
• 33:11
  been amazing for my business. I got 50 new members.
• 33:14
  That's great. Two Hyrox is a problem for my
• 33:17
  business because how people achieve their personal fame,
• 33:21
  their personal status within their own lives.
• 33:23
  Right now, it comes from the the experiential fitness that
• 33:27
  they're doing. And that is a power output based
• 33:30
  running paced modality, which means that no one is coming in
• 33:33
  and saying, man, I really wish I got tendering muscle UPS.
• 33:36
  They're coming in and saying I want to do more conditioning, I
• 33:38
  want to run, I want to do the sled push.
• 33:41
  So when I was thinking about what we could bring into the
• 33:44
  space that that wasn't abrasive or or or bad for the area, it
• 33:51
  was like, it's got to be good for those affiliate owners.
• 33:53
  So what we have to do is we have to create a sport that
• 33:56
  incentivizes the athlete, the person in the box to say, hey,
• 34:01
  coach, I want to clean 140 kilos.
• 34:05
  Like not and obviously not 140 kilos, but I just want to, I
• 34:07
  want to get better at my clean and I, I want to be able to use
• 34:09
  tote bar, toast bar. OK, great.
• 34:12
  Then we're taking you down the path that I think the whole
• 34:14
  sport wants to, wants to follow, which is to continue to pursue
• 34:19
  the methodology and the prescription as it was
• 34:22
  originally set out and and not become hyper focused on on one
• 34:25
  thing or the other. So there's three divisions you
• 34:30
  compete. Is it RX and elite?
• 34:33
  Yeah. So, so when people sign up, like
• 34:39
  how does elite? Like what is the elite field?
• 34:41
  Like how big is it? Who's that for versus somebody
• 34:44
  that's RX? It's yeah.
• 34:47
  Well. The elite field is a is a an
• 34:49
  invitation field. So you select yourself into
• 34:52
  Elite and then our sport team reviews.
• 34:55
  If you don't get into Elite, you get placed into RX.
• 34:58
  Is that based on the number of Instagram followers or is it
• 35:01
  like actual metrics of how? Good it is actually how good you
• 35:04
  are at fitness. Yeah, we've got.
• 35:06
  Who deems that stay again? How do you deem how good they
• 35:10
  are at fitness though? Auditions.
• 35:12
  Auditions, no, we have three. We have 3 metrics internally.
• 35:19
  We haven't actually announced this yet.
• 35:23
  Yeah. So, so we'll look at we'll look
• 35:25
  at obviously previous performance and and that's a
• 35:27
  combination of looking at like the Rogue Invitational rankings,
• 35:30
  looking at a previous Xenon score that's occurred or through
• 35:35
  this four teams discretion. But yeah, so the elite category
• 35:39
  is is limited and that's like if you go and look at the workouts,
• 35:43
  I would not go and do the elite category.
• 35:45
  I'd have a terrible time going and doing the elite category.
• 35:48
  And I would not recommend everyone to go and select that.
• 35:53
  But that that would be like, look, when when the event is
• 35:57
  you'll have quarterfinals will have finished, semi finals will
• 36:00
  have finished. I already know that there's like
• 36:04
  a fair few of the the elite athlete field that that will
• 36:07
  come and compete in this. You've got some crazy people
• 36:11
  that might come and do it before the games, but that's like
• 36:13
  obviously not that the core focus at the RX level.
• 36:16
  Basically you're doing the open RX if that's what you're, if
• 36:19
  you're that's the type of athlete you are.
• 36:22
  And then at the compete level, if you look at the way the
• 36:25
  workouts are generally structured, even where they have
• 36:28
  like relatively high complexity gymnastics or something in them,
• 36:32
  there is an attainable starting point that takes people up to a
• 36:36
  certain level. And then, OK, you haven't got to
• 36:40
  buy a muscle up. Same as the open.
• 36:41
  Like you have some bits where people don't manage to progress
• 36:45
  from, but that you then have this big incentive to go and
• 36:48
  learn that skill and and go and progress.
• 36:50
  Yeah, so. Have you considered inviting any
• 36:55
  influencers? No.
• 36:58
  How about how about John and Tyler?
• 37:00
  How would you? Would you?
• 37:01
  How about John? Tyler I'll I'll put it like
• 37:03
  this. I'll put it like this.
• 37:04
  The elite, the elite category. There is no workout that I can't
• 37:08
  do and and I'll even go out on a limb and say I'll have the
• 37:14
  highest score in two of the events.
• 37:17
  OK, what's 2? The snatch and the clean.
• 37:22
  The 108642 Clean Adder 315. You don't snatch 315, you snatch
• 37:28
  more than 315. No, no, I wanted to, but I got
• 37:30
  hurt. That's a serious snatch, Jesus.
• 37:35
  And he cleaned 4 O I'm asking 400.
• 37:38
  Well, don't ask me about, don't ask me about my 3K run, 2K ski,
• 37:42
  but it'll, it'll get done. And that's the beauty of it is
• 37:46
  like, OK, yeah, you come and you crush like 2 of the events.
• 37:49
  But if you've got massive glaring holes across certain
• 37:52
  time domains and certain modalities, like you'll get
• 37:55
  found out. I think that the, I think the
• 37:57
  fittest person on Earth will still win a Xenon.
• 38:00
  I think the person who wins the CrossFit Games would win a Xenon
• 38:05
  because the the test is is broad enough.
• 38:08
  That said, it's not probably the best way of finding the fittest
• 38:11
  person on earth. To do that.
• 38:13
  You need unlimited resource, unlimited time, best.
• 38:18
  And just like be like, OK, yeah, you're going to do a marathon
• 38:21
  row. Now.
• 38:23
  Like logistically, if you think about that, how difficult that
• 38:27
  is, like you can't, yeah, we can't do that.
• 38:30
  Other people are much, much better at doing that and have
• 38:35
  loads of experience and we wouldn't add massive value in
• 38:39
  pursuing that route, which is why we very much went down.
• 38:43
  What we thought about was like, where's the white space in the
• 38:45
  industry? Like where is no one doing
• 38:47
  anything? Where is no one building
• 38:48
  anything? And it was in I don't want to
• 38:52
  use the word mass participation because I think that is unfair
• 38:55
  to a cross fitted to say that you're doing mass participation.
• 38:58
  You're not you're doing like you would instantly by just putting
• 39:02
  the one Rep Max snatch in, you instantly eliminate 95% of
• 39:06
  people that do a high rocks like.
• 39:08
  And so I don't want to call it mass participation, but that's
• 39:10
  where the space was of. There is no one trying to build
• 39:14
  this thing at the moment. So we can come into this space
• 39:18
  and then be able to work really friendly, do an amazing deal
• 39:21
  with Rogue, do a deal with CrossFit and build something
• 39:26
  that I genuinely think like as the rising tide lifts or ships
• 39:29
  in this situation, I think that if we're super successful, we
• 39:33
  drive people into affiliates. We drive people into affiliates.
• 39:36
  We give people a reason to train.
• 39:38
  And that's good for, it's good for CrossFit.
• 39:40
  But it's also, it's good for the brands in the space.
• 39:42
  It's good for. We've had like so much interest
• 39:45
  from brands who have been in the space, who love the space still
• 39:52
  and are like, oh, this is cool. Like, how do we get involved?
• 39:56
  Yeah. The, the media part of this,
• 40:00
  like one of the best things about high rocks is that you
• 40:03
  have all kinds of like, what did you say?
• 40:05
  1.8 million people who are all going there taking pictures and
• 40:08
  posting them to their social media.
• 40:10
  And it looks, it looks huge and it looks cool.
• 40:13
  And it's like if you amplify or if you take that and copy and
• 40:16
  paste it over into the CrossFit sphere, you know, the, the
• 40:18
  largest part missing is that the normal person doesn't have their
• 40:22
  CrossFit Games experience like that where it's huge and it's,
• 40:25
  you know, super shiny and. This, this will accomplish that.
• 40:29
  And so, you know, when you were kind of going over that, I was
• 40:31
  like, yeah, that's that's the part that will grow, grow the
• 40:35
  entire pie. Yeah, absolutely.
• 40:38
  I mean, I know a lot of the stats from high rocks, like the
• 40:41
  average person, he goes to high rocks, they post like minimum of
• 40:44
  three times like in the training, they do the event and
• 40:48
  post, they post 100 stories. They like they do the marketing
• 40:51
  for high rocks and we, we, I think you should learn lessons
• 40:58
  in, in business, in, in whatever you do, you should learn lessons
• 41:01
  from people that have done it really well.
• 41:02
  But you should learn the right lessons.
• 41:04
  And I think the right lessons from higher ox are in like the
• 41:07
  production level in the quality of what you do and how much you
• 41:09
  care about the person who is taking part.
• 41:12
  Like from from check in, from the minute you purchase the
• 41:15
  ticket to check in to how you compete, to the training, to the
• 41:20
  warm up equipment to how you're to how you're managed, how
• 41:24
  you're marshalled to how you're judged.
• 41:26
  Like that's the bit that we should be learning.
• 41:28
  And I think there's quite a lot of instead us like CrossFit then
• 41:34
  trying to or people or things in the space kind of saying, OK,
• 41:39
  how do we make a fitness race? Like how do we make a fitness
• 41:42
  race for Crossfitters? And I was of the opinion that
• 41:48
  that's not the lesson to learn. Like the lesson to learn is do
• 41:50
  CrossFit at massive scale really, really well.
• 41:53
  Adapt it a little bit. Yeah.
• 41:57
  Have you, I want to leave you with one last question.
• 42:01
  I've seen it in the comments here and others.
• 42:05
  So I don't think it's a surprise like the $500 is.
• 42:09
  I think it might be higher than it's higher than Hyrocs.
• 42:11
  It's probably one of the higher fees for competition.
• 42:16
  What will people who are on the fence of it going, man, that's
• 42:19
  expensive. Like give them their pitch of
• 42:22
  what what they're going to encounter when they go to
• 42:25
  Dallas. Like vendors, Like what is that
• 42:28
  experience going to be like to maybe push somebody over that
• 42:32
  fence to go try this out? Sure.
• 42:35
  And come to Dallas, do the best competition you've ever taken
• 42:39
  part in be be catered to from the moment you come in to the
• 42:45
  moment you leave with the the highest level of production and
• 42:50
  care. Huge investment from brands,
• 42:52
  huge investment from from people in the space.
• 42:56
  Do it in. Do the thing that you do every
• 43:01
  week, every day in one of the best stadiums in the world.
• 43:05
  Be elevated to that place. Yeah, come and come and
• 43:11
  experience when I don't know if you've ever done, I'm sure you
• 43:15
  guys have done your L1. But they say like when you're
• 43:18
  trying to convince someone to why they should come and do
• 43:21
  CrossFit and the answer is come to open, like come to bring a
• 43:24
  friend on the Saturday, come to the class on Saturday.
• 43:27
  Like come and experience it. Come and come and see it.
• 43:29
  Come and do it. Yeah.
• 43:33
  It's like it is. It's that Super Bowl moment.
• 43:36
  It's the it's the thing that High Rocks did so incredibly
• 43:40
  well was to give people the moment in their lives that that
• 43:46
  takes them back. That is the Super Bowl time.
• 43:49
  That's them on the floor in front of the crowd doing their
• 43:54
  thing. Yeah.
• 43:56
  Awesome. Appreciate it.
• 43:58
  Mr. Zenom. Keith Barlow.
• 44:00
  Mr. Zenom. Keith Zenom.
• 44:02
  Appreciate it. Yeah, you got you got your work
• 44:06
  ahead of you, but it sounds like if you got Wilson working with
• 44:08
  you, I don't know what his role is, but good choice.
• 44:11
  He will. He will definitely do a very
• 44:13
  good job for you and looking forward to see what event 6 is
• 44:16
  here. Very, very.
• 44:17
  Amazing. It'll come, It'll come soon,
• 44:20
  it'll come soon. Do you guys want to compete?
• 44:23
  Yes, these guys definitely want to compete.
• 44:25
  Yeah, I I want to do the Elite 1 though, man.
• 44:29
  It's a no no. John, John and Tyler need to do
• 44:31
  RXI. Want to do No, I want to do
• 44:34
  elite pairs with John, Yeah. OK, I think we can maybe make
• 44:38
  something happen. Well, let's do it.
• 44:42
  I I promise you we won't be last place.
• 44:45
  How's this going to? How's this going to work in the
• 44:47
  Snatch 'cause I I don't, I'm not.
• 44:48
  Yeah. How does it how?
• 44:50
  I have one question I have. Can we we?
• 44:52
  Have I only have six more questions?
• 44:53
  Very quick there, John. How did you figure out the
• 44:56
  standards? What do you mean?
• 44:58
  Like for 1000 points in each category, how do you figure out
• 45:03
  what that thousand points is? Testing, yeah.
• 45:06
  So we, we, we've tested this through quite a few athletes
• 45:09
  from a range of capabilities. Yeah.
• 45:13
  So we have a, we have a, we have a good picture of what we think
• 45:16
  the best in the world can. It's not the best in the world
• 45:20
  in terms of like I said, it's not an Olympic weightlifter, but
• 45:23
  it's the best cross fitter in the world.
• 45:25
  And and you can do a you can obviously do a a lot of looking
• 45:29
  at historical data and and looking at games results and and
• 45:33
  figuring stuff out from that side on on the elite.
• 45:35
  We've also had quite a few elite athletes come through and and
• 45:38
  test on the NDA. Yeah, if you.
• 45:43
  The run ski is like what would Roman put up in the run ski?
• 45:47
  And then that's 1000 points, yes.
• 45:50
  Yeah, Essentially. Yeah, not, yeah not, not not
• 45:55
  exactly, but yeah, OK. The general, the general
• 45:59
  process, what was your question on the snatch as well?
• 46:02
  So if we do team or if we do partners right, John's obviously
• 46:07
  going to do the snatch like I'm I'm going to offer.
• 46:10
  Combined combined pounds. Tyler, OK.
• 46:12
  Yeah, Sorry, John. It's fine.
• 46:20
  That actually like that motivates me because then I can
• 46:24
  again do better on the other parts that I would do better AT
• 46:28
  and like not stress out about training for the snatch like
• 46:31
  I'll obviously want to train for the snatch, but like.
• 46:34
  I actually think you're going to hurt me on the bike more than
• 46:36
  the snatch. I think so too.
• 46:38
  I yeah, I think that that is the worst, like the worst, best test
• 46:43
  on that. You're a little bit fatigued, so
• 46:47
  it's not like you obviously coming off the the rope line
• 46:51
  will walk work out. So you're coming into it a
• 46:53
  little bit fatigued. But yeah, the anyone who's ever
• 46:56
  done a 62nd bike knows how that feels.
• 46:58
  You get the longest break after that before you go.
• 47:02
  Into the is the standard over or under 60 Cal.
• 47:09
  I did it fresh and I got 49. I think that.
• 47:15
  It's over. Yeah, yeah, I think. 80 Cal
• 47:18
  because Martine Lisi's did 80. One, yeah, I think you've got
• 47:22
  some, some big boys in the space that, that, yeah.
• 47:25
  RIP, RIP that apart. Yeah.
• 47:28
  OK. I was just curious.
• 47:29
  That's that's what I'll be. I'll be I'll do 60 cals.
• 47:32
  That's what I'm going to do. All right.
• 47:35
  Yeah, OK. You know how many you know?
• 47:36
  Yeah. I can't.
• 47:37
  I can't get more and I can't get less.
• 47:38
  That's just what it's going to. Be How many did you say you did,
• 47:40
  Keith? I got 49.
• 47:42
  That's pretty impressed. 50. 49 is impressive.
• 47:48
  Like the workout that see that definitely suits me.
• 47:51
  Are you taller? I'm like 62.
• 47:54
  You're a big cyclist. I'm sorry, are you are you a big
• 48:00
  cyclist? No, I'm just like quite a big
• 48:03
  guy. I played, I played rugby when I
• 48:05
  was younger and at one point I, I basically, I said like it
• 48:10
  transformed my life. Like I got into CrossFit, I met
• 48:12
  my wife in across the gym. I at one point got into really,
• 48:15
  really good shape, convinced her to marry me.
• 48:19
  And then I was like, OK. And.
• 48:23
  No, we, we would love to. We'll, we'll film our experience
• 48:26
  and like and everything and we'll make a big deal out of it.
• 48:29
  OK, yeah, I'd love to have. You only trash the parts that.
• 48:31
  I'm back. We can we can have Andrew
• 48:33
  documented if he wants to, Tyler.
• 48:36
  Excellent. We'll figure.
• 48:37
  Out something he's. Been noticeably quiet about this
• 48:40
  so I'm like OK. Cool.
• 48:42
  Are you waiting for it? Are you waiting for it?
• 48:45
  His response? I've been pretty surprised at
• 48:48
  like whenever you launch something in this space, you
• 48:51
  kind of affect. People.
• 48:54
  And just fire shots at you, especially if you're not like a
• 48:56
  face or a name. Like I would be known to like
• 48:59
  brand owners and like athlete management stuff, but no one
• 49:02
  else like knows who I am. So I was definitely, I was quite
• 49:06
  like, pleasantly surprised at the reception that we had when
• 49:08
  we came in. Yeah, So I'm sure.
• 49:12
  No, I'll get, I'll get in touch with you Keith and we'll try to
• 49:14
  work something out and try to get you guys to show to set the
• 49:17
  standard in Dallas June 27th and 28th.
• 49:20
  Thank you, Keith. Amazing.
• 49:23
  Good luck getting it all set up and we'll be right back after
• 49:25
  this break. Thanks, Keith.
• 49:35
  The Doctor of the. Future will give no medicine.
• 49:38
  You were an elite marathon runner.
• 49:41
  I would say the last thing you want to do is start running.
• 49:45
  Cancer is very preventable. It's not whether you believe,
• 49:47
  it's what the data tell us. The evidence is massive to
• 49:50
  support that. I could take you off of your
• 49:54
  medications, you've heard plenty.
• 49:57
  About how fat. Could turn into ketones, and I'm
• 49:59
  here to tell you that you're not hearing enough.
• 50:04
  I want everyone in the world to know that There you go, Keith
• 50:12
  Barlow, man, that was we. We, we made him overstay as
• 50:16
  welcome. But.
• 50:18
  What's the date for Dallas? June 27th, 28th.
• 50:21
  All right, so I'm going to be in the midst of Grid League
• 50:24
  training. You'll be ready.
• 50:25
  So you'll be really strong. I mean, no, yeah, I'm not
• 50:28
  worried about my part, but I'm just letting you know that also
• 50:30
  like on on the stuff that I'm not good at, I'm going to be
• 50:34
  exceptionally not good at that stuff at the.
• 50:36
  Run. That's what I'm.
• 50:38
  That's what I'm I got. Three months.
• 50:41
  Do you think he'd be better off doing the stuff he's good at or
• 50:44
  doing the stuff that he's bad at?
• 50:46
  I think it's. Me.
• 50:48
  Yeah. I'm I, I.
• 50:51
  I think that's the thing, it's the balance.
• 50:52
  It has to be somewhat balanced. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 50:55
  Because you bring it down or bring it up.
• 50:57
  I for me, the way the way I see training for this is just going
• 51:00
  to be like the stuff that I could be good at.
• 51:05
  You want to be good at. You want to be.
• 51:07
  I want to be. Good at but like the training
• 51:09
  that I have to put into those is not like a huge amount more to
• 51:14
  get like way better at it and then the stuff that I'm bad at
• 51:18
  like. It's so much for a little.
• 51:20
  Yeah. And it's like I, but I can just
• 51:22
  amp up the training just a little bit on that.
• 51:24
  It's like I'm talking 20% and then I'm, I'm solid.
• 51:27
  Like I'll be the best I can be at that event.
• 51:29
  I think I'll probably try to do the workout stuff like like a
• 51:33
  workout version of it, like once a week, you know what I mean?
• 51:36
  Like once a week that you do you and and then you know, I'm
• 51:41
  griddling training so I really don't have to do like the
• 51:43
  weightlifting stuff just 'cause I'm doing it and that's the
• 51:45
  right. All right, time for some viewer
• 51:48
  comments when? You move on.
• 51:50
  I'm going to train the 60 Cal byte.
• 51:52
  I will have to train that. I really wish it was July 20th
• 51:55
  because I'd be like mid Tour de France, you know what I mean?
• 51:58
  I'd be really prepared for it peaked.
• 52:00
  Oh dude, I yes, I don't think you would be.
• 52:03
  I don't think you want to be peaked for it.
• 52:04
  I think if you told Dal and he had to do a one minute bike
• 52:07
  Sprint, he'd be traumatized. He'd be.
• 52:08
  Like, no, I'm not I'm not pushed myself to the depths that Dal
• 52:12
  and has. That was clear in this open
• 52:14
  workout because we had similar like time discrepancies of when
• 52:18
  we thought we were going and when we weren't.
• 52:19
  When we actually went. I DM Ed Allen.
• 52:22
  I was like 4 minutes in the workout.
• 52:25
  It became very real that I am not you and and he thought that
• 52:32
  was funny. But all right, viewer comments
• 52:33
  here we go. First up at NJSB Construction,
• 52:40
  do you think Austin, that's Austin Hatfield needs a change
• 52:44
  of scenery like moving to proven to have any shot at winning?
• 52:49
  I got asked this question like 5 times.
• 52:57
  I don't think it's necessary but I don't think it's the worst
• 53:04
  idea. But I don't think it.
• 53:06
  I don't think he needs to, no. Does he need to break up with
• 53:09
  Haley? No comment I I, I it's like
• 53:19
  having a baby a little bit because when you're when you're
• 53:22
  in the new girlfriend boyfriend, I mean, I guess they've been
• 53:25
  dating for a while, but like you just do stuff with them all the
• 53:29
  time. Like you don't have an obsession
• 53:32
  like you're going on dates, you're going to Disney World
• 53:34
  like you're and like it's no, it's great.
• 53:36
  It's great, you know, go love each other like it's awesome,
• 53:39
  but you're in the lovey dovey puppy dog phase and that takes a
• 53:44
  lot of your time and and just mindset and thinking like it
• 53:50
  just does. I'm not saying it's a bad thing,
• 53:54
  but it just does. You know, when you have maybe
• 53:57
  not as much as having a kid because you can always be like,
• 54:00
  hey, I got to get this done. You know what I mean?
• 54:03
  Like. Sorry, Abby.
• 54:04
  Give me two hours. Yeah.
• 54:06
  Abby, Grace, I I can't do that. But so.
• 54:11
  I was thinking about athletes that I like that I really get
• 54:17
  behind, like I like big fandom for right.
• 54:21
  And like generally they seem to have some demon that they're
• 54:25
  trying to conquer. And I, I, Austin particularly
• 54:29
  came to my head and I don't know what that is.
• 54:32
  There's no demon. There's no demon.
• 54:34
  And then like Haley comes along and and maybe it has nothing.
• 54:39
  You're. Saying Haley Adams is a demon.
• 54:41
  No, no, no. Haley comes along and it's like
• 54:43
  he's just. I don't.
• 54:45
  Want to put this on zoom? I hate it either.
• 54:47
  I hated it whenever but it. Is the.
• 54:50
  Thing that changed, yeah, but they put Ellie Turner on Justin
• 54:53
  and I hated when they did that and and I just.
• 54:56
  I don't want to do that with Haley and Austin.
• 54:59
  It is it it is a thing. It is a thing.
• 55:03
  It does make a difference. But I I'm not going to say
• 55:08
  that's the reason he's messing up in competition or he's overly
• 55:12
  confident or he's not winning the games.
• 55:15
  I don't think that's true. It's just it is a thing that you
• 55:19
  have to be aware of. What this means, Austin, is that
• 55:22
  we believe in, we want you to get there.
• 55:24
  And we're just wondering why. Yeah.
• 55:27
  Let us know. Why aren't?
• 55:28
  Why aren't you there? Why are you doing what I want?
• 55:36
  Really. Jeanette has heard that
• 55:37
  sentence. At at the penis blue.
• 55:40
  No, the pen is blue. Which one?
• 55:43
  Is it pen is blue? The pen is.
• 55:44
  Blue OK, sorry it's hard to tell.
• 55:49
  JY has the personality of the guy that always has a bottle of
• 55:53
  ghost pepper hot sauce and is always like just try it, it's
• 55:56
  not even that hot. Couldn't be more wrong.
• 56:00
  I don't know who that guy is, but Tyler, go ahead.
• 56:03
  There's there's no they like that.
• 56:04
  Nope, that's it's I. I get what you're saying, but
• 56:09
  you're wrong. Can you explain it to me?
• 56:12
  Because I don't. I don't understand it.
• 56:15
  Neither does spin. He's like.
• 56:17
  Inform us. He's kind of saying, you know
• 56:21
  how Jason kind of like he's like, dude, just do it.
• 56:26
  Like I got like you like it's ain't no big deal, but it's like
• 56:30
  kind of a big deal, he's saying. You're kind of like that.
• 56:34
  No, I'm not like that at all, OK?
• 56:38
  I'm a very light, hey, do what you want like that kind of guy.
• 56:44
  Yeah. OK before I get to the next one
• 56:47
  I do have to tell you guys got got good deal for you between
• 56:53
  now and 2:00 PM if you go and use code hog on paper street
• 57:00
  coffee. HOG.
• 57:02
  Hog@paperspaperstreetcoffee.com You will save Not 10%, not 20%,
• 57:12
  not 30%. Are you kidding me?
• 57:15
  Not even 40%, but 50% off everything at Paper Street
• 57:21
  Coffee. Everything.
• 57:23
  Everything every You guys spend more than 25 bucks, but why
• 57:27
  would you order something if you're not going to spend 25
• 57:29
  bucks? It's $50.
• 57:31
  Essentially you're spending $50. That's only $25.
• 57:35
  That's only 25 bucks. You spend 100 bucks.
• 57:37
  It's only 50 bucks when you use code hog HOG.
• 57:41
  HOG. That's a that's.
• 57:43
  A freaking great deal. Hog to me.
• 57:45
  I know how it's spelled, really, but now it's spelled HAWG.
• 57:50
  Yeah. Yeah, don't do that though.
• 57:52
  Don't do that. Use HOG to get the deal.
• 57:54
  If you type in HAWG, it might be cooler, but you're not going to
• 57:58
  get the savings so. Maybe that's the cheap code to
• 58:01
  that 75%. Off that might be 75% off, you
• 58:04
  never know. There we go.
• 58:07
  Frog grips. You better use code spin.
• 58:09
  That's right, you. Cancel it Freeboard.
• 58:15
  That's how you do it. That's amazing.
• 58:17
  That's how you do it. Thank you, Summer.
• 58:19
  Back to viewer comments. Let's here we go at imperfect.
• 58:25
  Still worth it. All right, after listening to
• 58:28
  Mirham's name be butchered for a year now let's try to give some
• 58:33
  help here. You're pronouncing it with a
• 58:35
  hard H Mirham, which isn't there.
• 58:38
  Replace it with AY, like year. Miriam, you're good to go.
• 58:43
  Mir hum. Listen.
• 58:45
  Miriam. Miriam, Miriam, Miriam.
• 58:48
  Listen in. Perfect.
• 58:50
  Still worth it. I say her name like I want to
• 58:54
  say her name. OK when she does something worth
• 58:59
  a name change. It will happen.
• 59:02
  She's won the Open. Twice.
• 59:03
  No dude, if you have a name. Hey, we put we we were called
• 59:07
  out Mir hum. Before anybody knew who she.
• 59:10
  Was nobody knew her. We're calling her Mir Hum.
• 59:12
  People were like on the Mir Hum train.
• 59:14
  I don't. Know yeah, we love we love
• 59:17
  Miriam when if she ever wins the CrossFit Games then I will be
• 59:22
  like Miriam Emmanuel von. Miriam, Miriam.
• 59:29
  Miriam. Miriam.
• 59:31
  Miriam. Miriam.
• 59:32
  Miriam. Miriam.
• 59:34
  Miriam. Miriam.
• 59:37
  I will call her by her full name and of her forefathers name if
• 59:43
  she wins the CrossFit games and it will never be said
• 59:45
  differently ever again until that point.
• 59:49
  That super strong Bunny hoppin like woman is named Miriam.
• 59:56
  Yes. That's right.
• 59:58
  I think I can help with this pan pan situation.
• 1:00:04
  Just somebody. Clear the way she.
• 1:00:06
  Jumped, pronouncing it. 6 jumped over a box.
• 1:00:09
  I want to call that like the mirror him way or the mirror
• 1:00:13
  him, yeah. It's like it's still by the best
• 1:00:17
  mirror. That's my favorite video I've
• 1:00:19
  made in in quite some time. I, I, dude, I tried to make it
• 1:00:23
  look like that. I'd be like, no, the way she
• 1:00:25
  does it, like you just can't move like that.
• 1:00:27
  And then I was like, I try. I was let me do two or three
• 1:00:30
  reps like how she does it and I like tripped over my feet trying
• 1:00:34
  to jump over the box and it was the most unathletic I've I have
• 1:00:39
  ever felt like and I'm I what? If you did, what if you just did
• 1:00:42
  20 inches though? Would that?
• 1:00:44
  Help. No dude I did it on 20 inches
• 1:00:46
  like I I tried to move. 12 inches.
• 1:00:49
  Like she moved and it just my body couldn't do it.
• 1:00:53
  And it, I've never felt more unathletic.
• 1:00:56
  And it, I don't know how I tripped over my feet, but it was
• 1:01:00
  because I'm usually like pretty good at emulating stuff that you
• 1:01:04
  see and, and, and could not do it.
• 1:01:06
  It was, it was wild. And I was like, well, that's not
• 1:01:08
  happening again. There are a couple couple guys
• 1:01:10
  in my gym made fun of me. You know, I was like, OK, well
• 1:01:14
  I'm going to handstand walk now because none of y'all can do
• 1:01:16
  that. So that's that's yeah.
• 1:01:18
  All right. Thank you.
• 1:01:20
  Imperfect Mirahem is great at Michael Barakat.
• 1:01:27
  I love 26.2 for once. I paced well on open workout and
• 1:01:30
  did 8 ring muscle UPS. My first ring muscle UPS in a
• 1:01:33
  whatever while everyone in the box was cheering for me.
• 1:01:36
  Was a hell of an experience. I think I respond.
• 1:01:39
  I think I responded to this and said Tyler tried to take this
• 1:01:41
  away from you. I wanted to take it away from
• 1:01:44
  me, Michael. So, Mikkel.
• 1:01:48
  Mikkel, Michael. Michelle better Michelle BearCat
• 1:01:53
  If he got 8 ring muscle UPS he probably had time to do 1 under
• 1:01:58
  10 minutes just. How accomplished would you have
• 1:02:02
  felt then to? Do that one ring muscle.
• 1:02:05
  Yeah, yeah. You're you guys are rolling.
• 1:02:07
  And I'm going to bring it all back.
• 1:02:09
  Yeah, yeah. You guys hate the 75 percenters.
• 1:02:13
  You talk to you, I'm in. Your camps man, I'm just playing
• 1:02:16
  devil. But you're kind of little in
• 1:02:18
  mine. I just.
• 1:02:20
  A little bit at Jill Rogers. I think the Open should be for
• 1:02:23
  the average Crossfitter. The rest of you all get several
• 1:02:27
  more competitions to prove your awesomeness.
• 1:02:29
  If you were for the community and building CrossFit, why
• 1:02:32
  should all over the Open being for the first time muscle up?
• 1:02:36
  Because Tyler wants to be challenged.
• 1:02:38
  He doesn't want to go faster. He just wants to.
• 1:02:40
  Yeah. He's obviously an RX zenomer and
• 1:02:45
  he wants to be an elite zenomer. I'm an elite I, I will be an
• 1:02:49
  elite zenomer. You know, I, I, I felt a little,
• 1:02:52
  I, I'm curious if it's like you have to be a certain.
• 1:02:57
  And maybe when he said elite, like we're not, we're not
• 1:03:00
  thinking the, the elite like how we're thinking elite.
• 1:03:03
  Like maybe his, his version's a little bit different.
• 1:03:06
  But like if he made it seem like if you're not CrossFit games,
• 1:03:11
  CrossFit semi finals athlete, like you're not going to do
• 1:03:13
  muscle UPS in the workout. Like that's what he made it seem
• 1:03:16
  like. I'm like, dude, I'm you need an
• 1:03:19
  in between, then you need an in between because you're going to
• 1:03:23
  have specialists that can do everything right.
• 1:03:25
  Well, that's, that's the thing. So it's like we have the
• 1:03:28
  capability to do all of the elite workouts at a decent pace.
• 1:03:31
  You know we're not going to be anywhere close to the elite
• 1:03:33
  paces. We're not going to win.
• 1:03:36
  But you but you want to be able to do that elite level to see
• 1:03:39
  where you stack up against somebody.
• 1:03:41
  Actually, no, the the I just think about it like that.
• 1:03:45
  It's it's almost exactly like World fitness project where they
• 1:03:52
  introduced the Challenger division.
• 1:03:53
  Yeah. And like, yeah, and like Tudor
• 1:03:57
  and Jack and Ty, I think in the first Indianapolis qualified for
• 1:04:02
  Challenger and they're like, oh, you don't get the £70 dumbbell,
• 1:04:05
  you get the £50 dumbbell. And they're like I I could.
• 1:04:08
  I could do the £70 and things like that.
• 1:04:10
  And so I think that that might be my like, one thing is maybe
• 1:04:14
  rethink it at some point is like, if you can do all the
• 1:04:17
  movements you want to see how you stack up to whoever some one
• 1:04:22
  of these top athletes does it because you're not going to feel
• 1:04:24
  as accomplished in the RX not getting to do the ring muscle
• 1:04:27
  UPS. If you can do those, like a top
• 1:04:30
  ten, a top 10 percenter can do all of that stuff like it's
• 1:04:34
  nothing's too heavy or too too skilled for a top 10% athlete,
• 1:04:38
  but they're not going to get that opportunity.
• 1:04:40
  When he was talking about the handstand push ups and he's
• 1:04:42
  like, you know, the RX is going to do them to an, you know, an
• 1:04:45
  ad mat or whatever, I was like there's nothing stopping me from
• 1:04:47
  moving the ad mat. No, we'll compete, compete.
• 1:04:50
  No, the compete, the scale to the compete is that.
• 1:04:52
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. But but still like I think if
• 1:04:57
  you want the option to do elite it, you should be able.
• 1:05:00
  You're paying $500. You should be able to go.
• 1:05:04
  You should, yeah, go sign up for whatever you want to.
• 1:05:06
  I, I that would be my one change too.
• 1:05:08
  And like, they should be allowed to invite whoever they want to
• 1:05:11
  invite. But if their slots open.
• 1:05:13
  It's like high rocks, right? Like there's the elite 15 like
• 1:05:16
  that. They get their own race.
• 1:05:17
  If you want to have an elite heat, that's like you get the
• 1:05:21
  whole floor to yourself. You're not trying to plow, you
• 1:05:23
  know, plow past people or get like, you know.
• 1:05:26
  And they won't have the top. That's fine, but like Elite
• 1:05:29
  still has all the pro weights you can still do, you just suck
• 1:05:32
  at it right? So all right, last one here.
• 1:05:36
  And then the big news with crash Crescendo at AE 2.3.
• 1:05:41
  Hey again, never called in like you asked to explain why I have
• 1:05:44
  watched CrossFit from 2012 but have never actually tried it.
• 1:05:48
  Mostly because I haven't come up with the legitimate excuse yet
• 1:05:51
  as to why. But I will be at Syndicate Crown
• 1:05:56
  this year. I will come by and say hello if
• 1:05:58
  I don't die for my non CrossFit lifestyle first.
• 1:06:03
  I'll tell you what AE 2.3. I think we should have them on
• 1:06:06
  the broadcast. We not only should we have you
• 1:06:08
  on the broadcast, we should also do a workout with you.
• 1:06:12
  Yeah. Get you to try CrossFit a little
• 1:06:14
  bit. We can make it simple.
• 1:06:17
  That could be the JY Barbell challenge.
• 1:06:18
  We. Do something like that so that
• 1:06:21
  is it. Viewer comments.

  Jr. was going to share them on Friday and then he shared them
• 1:07:19

• 1:07:49
  So we'll get some, we'll get some good reps in there.

• 1:11:08
  synchro sandbag squats and a one mile trail run.
• 1:11:12
  You'll see. I love this workout.
• 1:11:14
  You'll see the sandbag weights are 50405040, Jr. told me.
• 1:11:19
  If you want the the chicks to do the £50 sandbags, they can do
• 1:11:24
  it. You can do it.
• 1:11:25
  You just choose whoever gets the sandbag.
• 1:11:28
  Maybe if you get there first, you pick the 40, if you're the
• 1:11:30
  last, you pick the 50. I don't care.
• 1:11:32
  Jr. doesn't care. You just you decide how.
• 1:11:36
  You want to carry? I take it back, Tyler, I let's
• 1:11:38
  do a partner workout and let's do this workout.
• 1:11:41
  We can do that. I'll.

  Get the 40 so that is. Friday I'll take the 50.

  That that is Friday morning. You're probably going to run
• 1:11:49
  faster though. Do you have to run together?
• 1:11:54
  Do you have to run? Together.
• 1:11:56
  I don't think so. I don't know.
• 1:11:57
  I would bet no. I, I bet it's the the last one
• 1:12:01
  or maybe total time. Total time what I've what I
• 1:12:03
  haven't told us all the specifics will be emailed to all
• 1:12:07
  the competitors over the weekend.
• 1:12:09
  So you'll get the whole workflow, the flow and all the
• 1:12:11
  details, movement standards. Dude, I really want to do this
• 1:12:14
  workout. Tyler, it it the I think the
• 1:12:16
  like workouts like these are so fun to do.
• 1:12:19
  I I know like they're not the most fun to like watch, but to
• 1:12:22
  do they're really really. Fun.
• 1:12:24
  Yeah. That was like my favorite, my
• 1:12:26
  worst event at TFX and my favorite event at TFX was the,
• 1:12:30
  what was it, 5K run with the weighted vest.
• 1:12:34
  The trail part of this I find interesting because I don't
• 1:12:38
  know. Like is it back behind Crash?
• 1:12:42
  I don't know. I'm so the the we did a 5K and
• 1:12:46
  it was located at a a park. It was a park that we did like
• 1:12:50
  when I when I did crescendo and there was a hill at the end of
• 1:12:53
  the park. So I'm hoping, I'm hoping it's
• 1:12:56
  that I was like, AI was like a nice little hill at the end.
• 1:13:01
  OK, CrossFit. I'm going or No?
• 1:13:06
  I'm excited. I'm excited.
• 1:13:08
  Would you stop it, John? I'm excited for the JY Xenon
• 1:13:11
  debrief excuses. I don't know what this that
• 1:13:15
  means, he says. I give excuses a lot and I feel
• 1:13:19
  like I really don't. Do y'all think I give excuses a
• 1:13:23
  lot when I do things? No.
• 1:13:27
  I feel like I'm when I I say hey I was trash.
• 1:13:31
  We'll get into that here in a bit on CrossFit update.
• 1:13:35
  Speed Tour, John. Speed Tour.
• 1:13:38
  Event #2 This is for more than just the no, it is the Coed
• 1:13:45
  advanced as well. Four time same sex pairs, 12
• 1:13:50
  rounds. I mean.
• 1:13:52
  Six The first six rounds were the male pair, the second six
• 1:13:55
  rounds were the female pair. 12 Dumbbell bench press A 40 foot
• 1:13:59
  sled pull 75 LB dumbbells for the men, 50 for the women, and
• 1:14:05
  the sled for the men will have 545 LB plates and the women's
• 1:14:09
  will have 3 do. You wonder how much plates the
• 1:14:12
  sled is. I just I these just I just. 45.
• 1:14:15
  I just want to do them 540 fives 5.
• 1:14:18
  By 45. Yeah, my guess is on the turf
• 1:14:21
  this, it's probably, you know, it's, I'm sure it's on the turf
• 1:14:23
  and I'm sure it's the the Rogue One.
• 1:14:25
  It's like £100 plus the. So you this would be like, I go,
• 1:14:30
  you go, Yeah. Yes.
• 1:14:32
  Tyler. Yeah, which is cool.
• 1:14:34
  Yeah, you can just. Move.
• 1:14:36
  Dude, I I mean I think. Who's moving through 2075 LB
• 1:14:41
  dumbbell bench press? I'm broken.
• 1:14:43
  Easy peasy. I'm going to have to break it up
• 1:14:45
  probably. Especially if I get a break.
• 1:14:48
  You get a break because the other person I got to go.
• 1:14:51
  I think you're overestimating the the all of the athletes on
• 1:14:55
  this one, John. Oh no.
• 1:14:56
  No, no, I'm talking about me and Tyler.
• 1:14:59
  Are you doing the women's weights or?
• 1:15:01
  No, no dude, you think I can't do 70 fives?
• 1:15:03
  Unbroken, I think you are overestimating everybody else in
• 1:15:06
  the. Field.
• 1:15:07
  Oh no, they're not going to go unbroken.
• 1:15:08
  I'm just talking. About talking just.
• 1:15:09
  You no me, I'm talking about me and Tyler are going to do these
• 1:15:12
  work and they see they they every workout.
• 1:15:14
  I don't have only seen two, but I've just been really like, I
• 1:15:18
  want to go do it. Yeah, so far that's fair.
• 1:15:21
  Yeah, I I think that's the trap, John is like people are going to
• 1:15:26
  try to push the dumbbell bench. The benches.
• 1:15:28
  As they can. No, no, I, I think we'll see a
• 1:15:31
  lot of failure. What's funny is that 75 is just
• 1:15:36
  slightly heavier than the 70 would be, right?
• 1:15:39
  And so I'm curious if it throws the men off.
• 1:15:41
  I think it'll, I think you thought I, I still think, I
• 1:15:44
  still think the women will struggle more than the men on
• 1:15:46
  this. And the women will have to be
• 1:15:49
  smarter than the men on this. I think this workout is one with
• 1:15:51
  your women and not your men. Right.
• 1:15:55
  Do you think the pulling being the opposite of a press is going
• 1:15:59
  to like compound itself? Yes, it'll be a lot of upper.
• 1:16:04
  Body, it's going to be a little bit surprising of like, oh, I
• 1:16:08
  cannot expect this. It what it'll it'll make you
• 1:16:10
  breathe heavier. It won't take away from your
• 1:16:12
  press, but it'll make you breathe heavier.
• 1:16:17
  The this is this is just AI just really like this workout.
• 1:16:25
  I do think the women are the difference in this 20 bench
• 1:16:29
  press is a lot. So it's 3 rounds.
• 1:16:31
  It's 60 total bench press, but 2020 unbroken is like a
• 1:16:35
  considerable set. It's not 12 like I for sure 20
• 1:16:41
  is not unbroken for all of the guys either.
• 1:16:44
  I just. I don't, I don't think, I think
• 1:16:45
  it'll maybe a handful actually get through it and they're like,
• 1:16:48
  they're like a, they're like a John, right?
• 1:16:50
  Like they probably sucked, they probably sucked in the first
• 1:16:54
  event and now they're like, okay, I.
• 1:16:56
  Bet Tyler should surprise you on this.
• 1:16:57
  Yeah, I do well. I do pretty well on.
• 1:16:59
  This. I wouldn't mind you going for
• 1:17:01
  it, Tyler, even if you fail and I have to wait on you.
• 1:17:06
  I just said, 'cause I I think I, I don't, I kind of think that
• 1:17:09
  you might be able to. I we'll, we'll see when we get
• 1:17:11
  there. Yeah, we'll see.
• 1:17:12
  Your range of motion. I think it's a.
• 1:17:13
  Trap. I think it's a trap.
• 1:17:15
  I do think it's a trap though. Yeah, I I don't think it's going
• 1:17:18
  to be as easy as you. Guys, I think we go ahead first
• 1:17:20
  in the trap, Tyler, and see if we get caught.
• 1:17:21
  Oh. Hell yeah, every time.
• 1:17:23
  I mean that makes more sense. All right, event 3 four time.
• 1:17:29
  This is the this is the one that you guys saw on Instagram that I
• 1:17:34
  kind of tricked you guys on first one Coed pairs pair 157913
• 1:17:41
  of synchro burpee box jump over and step down and 100 foot
• 1:17:47
  synchro plate push. Gross. 4535 if you.
• 1:17:51
  Haven't done a plate push like that.
• 1:17:53
  Plate push. People might think like a plate
• 1:17:56
  push. Plate pushes suck.
• 1:17:59
  Like they are really, really hard.
• 1:18:01
  And like you, you'll fly for 50 feet and then after like you
• 1:18:06
  will hit a moment where you can't just like trudge, trudge,
• 1:18:10
  trudge, trudge. And when you get to that moment,
• 1:18:13
  it's like you just can't move anymore.
• 1:18:16
  And then you go to this like the Frogger push that I like to call
• 1:18:19
  or you're like push, hop, push, hop.
• 1:18:21
  And like that's if you can't just push all the way, that's
• 1:18:25
  what you go to because then you're stuck and then you got to
• 1:18:27
  rest, right? It's this will be gnarlier than
• 1:18:32
  people think. Like if you think about like
• 1:18:34
  it's 5791113, that doesn't seem like very much big sets.
• 1:18:39
  There's a reason this is a 20 minute time cap.
• 1:18:42
  I think this workout would be way harder than people think.
• 1:18:46
  And then the second pair will then go down the ladder 1311975
• 1:18:51
  of the same movements for those the synchro burpee box jump over
• 1:18:56
  and down. It is a burpee.
• 1:19:00
  You jump over the box and then you jump back over the box.
• 1:19:05
  So it's one burpee 2 box jump overs.
• 1:19:09
  So for for both up and down or just?
• 1:19:12
  Down, no. So one Rep, when you say when
• 1:19:14
  you see five, you're going to do a burpee, jump over the box,
• 1:19:18
  jump back over the box, that's one Rep.
• 1:19:20
  So 1 burpee and two box jump. Over.
• 1:19:21
  It's like a Pogo burpee box jump.
• 1:19:23
  Over, Yeah. So you're going to do at the end
• 1:19:24
  of the day, there's 45 reps there.
• 1:19:26
  If you add up 5791113 you're going to do 45 burpees and 90
• 1:19:31
  box jump. So it's way slower than people
• 1:19:33
  think. Yes.
• 1:19:34
  It's not going to be like Burpee, jump over and you're
• 1:19:36
  done in 25 seconds. I like.
• 1:19:38
  This workout I I don't think I would I don't think I would be
• 1:19:41
  good at this workout, but I I. Sorry, John.
• 1:19:46
  Go ahead. I think the synchro plate push
• 1:19:48
  is what is going to like. You're gonna go after that.
• 1:19:52
  You're gonna go to the seven. You're gonna go No.
• 1:19:54
  Somebody's gonna be somebody's gonna be better than somebody,
• 1:19:57
  and you're just gonna have to wait like this is your weakest
• 1:19:59
  link. And I people are underestimating
• 1:20:03
  the tricep fatigue they're going to have.
• 1:20:06
  They just did a whole bunch of bench press and then you do you
• 1:20:09
  have the, the push up on the burpee box jump over, but then
• 1:20:12
  the plate push your arms are extended like on your original
• 1:20:16
  push. The tricep fatigue in this
• 1:20:19
  workout specifically will be very sneaky, but I it's going to
• 1:20:25
  hit. It's going to hit.
• 1:20:26
  I think the the Pogo burpee box jump over actually it would help
• 1:20:32
  me because I think you're going to get a little bit more breath
• 1:20:37
  than you would if you were just doing another burpee box jump
• 1:20:40
  over on the other side. Like there's more time between
• 1:20:42
  each burpee. And so I think that that that's
• 1:20:45
  going to help you move a little bit faster through those than I
• 1:20:47
  think you otherwise. Would I guarantee people will
• 1:20:49
  mess up too and they'll start doing burpees on both sides of
• 1:20:51
  the box and then you'll be like no, no, no, no, you got to win.
• 1:20:54
  This is. A very interesting.
• 1:20:56
  I like it. Work out.
• 1:20:58
  Yeah. So like if we were to do it,
• 1:20:59
  we'd only do one set. Correct.
• 1:21:02
  Because it's pair one, Yes, you know what I.
• 1:21:06
  Mean so that is, that is Saturday morning, Saturday
• 1:21:10
  afternoon event #4 here it is. Four time, same sex pairs, 3
• 1:21:20
  rounds. We're gonna bring out the cut
• 1:21:22
  rope. 10/6 cut rope climbs, split however you want or split
• 1:21:29
  pair 220D balls over the five foot yoke 150 slash 100 lbs
• 1:21:34
  split those, switch when both pairs finish, then directly into
• 1:21:41
  a 100 foot conga style handstand walk.
• 1:21:46
  All. 4 The key to this is yes, it's all four of them.
• 1:21:51
  You could be a foot apart, you can be 10 feet apart, you could
• 1:21:54
  be 100 feet apart. If you want to be all holding
• 1:21:57
  hands going across, go for it. It's a 50 foot down and back, 25
• 1:22:02
  foot unbroken segments. And basically it's just all four
• 1:22:07
  of them. Your choice, how close you get,
• 1:22:09
  at what order you go, how you make it down the field and back.
• 1:22:13
  So yeah, if if all four are great at handstand walking and
• 1:22:18
  you want to be a foot apart, go for it.
• 1:22:21
  But then you can also go down like bowling pins and ruin
• 1:22:24
  everybody and have to start over.
• 1:22:25
  I like the parody in this workout.
• 1:22:27
  So the rope climb is going to favor the gymnast, the the D
• 1:22:30
  ball over the yoke is going to favor the strong person, and
• 1:22:33
  then it's going to favor the gymnast again at the end.
• 1:22:35
  But you're kind of limited to your worst handstand Walker in
• 1:22:38
  that in that portion anyway. The you, but I mean they all got
• 1:22:44
  to do it all because you switch every round.
• 1:22:46
  Right. So like you're, you're, you're
• 1:22:49
  picking. One pair which are not going to
• 1:22:51
  be easy at the. End Yeah, you're picking one
• 1:22:53
  pair to do 20 cut rope climbs. We're not finishing this
• 1:22:56
  workout. We're I don't even know how we
• 1:23:00
  would do this. I mean, we would probably pick
• 1:23:02
  the D ball over the five foot yoke.
• 1:23:05
  And do that twice instead. And do that twice.
• 1:23:10
  You disagree. You would since it's same.
• 1:23:13
  Is it? I don't, I don't know.
• 1:23:14
  This could be each person does 3 rounds or one group does one
• 1:23:19
  more, I'm not sure. Is it just three total rounds do
• 1:23:22
  you think? No, it's it's.
• 1:23:25
  Yeah, I think it's. 3 So I think it's six you're going to do each
• 1:23:31
  piece 3. Times.
• 1:23:34
  Yeah, I think so. So what would we do?
• 1:23:41
  You just start on pair one and. Just start wherever you wanted
• 1:23:43
  to go for. Basically recommend starting at
• 1:23:45
  the rope climbs. You just basically you're not
• 1:23:48
  getting rest if somebody else is slower than.
• 1:23:49
  You so you do 6 rounds and then ping pong back then and then the
• 1:23:54
  handstand walk. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:23:56
  I don't think we're going to get to the handstand walk, Tyler.
• 1:23:58
  No, right now this is straight through, straight, straight
• 1:24:01
  handstand walk. Nothing.
• 1:24:02
  Nothing silly. I'm going to hold you back in
• 1:24:05
  this workout like, like because I'm not going to be able to do
• 1:24:09
  the cut rope climbs after the first round.
• 1:24:12
  I, I, I, I, I will be able to get through the first round and
• 1:24:16
  then, and then you're going to have to do more rope climbs than
• 1:24:20
  it's going to have. It'd be like a 7/3 split.
• 1:24:23
  I would be OK with that if you did more of the the.
• 1:24:26
  Yeah, no, of course, of course I'll do more of the D ball.
• 1:24:28
  But like, I just think it's going to be slow because I don't
• 1:24:31
  think. You can.
• 1:24:33
  Do what we want to be. OK.
• 1:24:35
  All right. Yeah, it says split.
• 1:24:38
  I think we can do whatever we want the the but like if you end
• 1:24:41
  up doing 10 or 577, you do 19 cut rope climbs.
• 1:24:48
  Like you're going to slow down, like you're not going to be able
• 1:24:52
  to just keep on doing them. We'd get to that when we had to
• 1:24:55
  cross that. Bridge I'm just saying I think
• 1:24:57
  we would be stuck and it would be my fault and that's that.
• 1:25:01
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think we're listen, listen for whatever you
• 1:25:05
  holding me back on I'm doing my part on this of holding you
• 1:25:08
  back. I just, I just know that I am.
• 1:25:12
  It is what it is man, like. You're allowed to dude to pull
• 1:25:16
  up a rope. Don't give me an excuse,
• 1:25:18
  Crossfatter. Get on to me.
• 1:25:19
  I'm just, I'm just, I'm just a really.
• 1:25:22
  I can give you the excuse you can't give it yourself.
• 1:25:25
  What's crazy is our strict pull ups were the same, right?
• 1:25:28
  And then like just just our strict pulling.
• 1:25:31
  I'm probably better because we went to bar muscle ups and I
• 1:25:33
  want that endurance aspect, the pulling endurance.
• 1:25:37
  Yeah, I don't get why you can't. Is I'm extremely bad at it's.
• 1:25:41
  Called. Call Austin.
• 1:25:42
  He'll give you some tips. Call.
• 1:25:44
  Austin, right, that pulling endurance is something that I
• 1:25:48
  mean, I it's right there with running for me.
• 1:25:53
  Yeah, All right. That's that's Saturday.
• 1:25:55
  That's Saturday, Sunday and Sunday.
• 1:26:00
  Bailey Dominion says there's a handstand walk at the end of
• 1:26:02
  each round. But we'll, we'll see.
• 1:26:04
  Once we get the I'm I'm sure it'll be explained to us.
• 1:26:08
  Yeah, if athletes will get get the full description on the
• 1:26:12
  weekend. That makes.
• 1:26:15
  Sense event 5 Coed pairs pair one athlete one 180 calorie row
• 1:26:23
  the while the other athlete is doing 100 Med ball GHD sit ups.
• 1:26:28
  Expect the line on the GHD so don't be doing any of those.
• 1:26:31
  The World fitness project sit ups switch as desired.
• 1:26:36
  Pair 2 will do the exact same thing directly into one pair
• 1:26:42
  work one pair rest of 90 synchro front squats AT225155 No no Nope
• 1:26:54
  all done in 18 minutes. This.
• 1:26:56
  Blow. Well I wonder what happens like
• 1:27:01
  if you finish the Med ball sit ups before the row.
• 1:27:07
  You can switch as you desire. They switch as desire, so each.
• 1:27:10
  Yeah. So you just go back.
• 1:27:10
  And forth you just go back and forth.
• 1:27:12
  Yeah, if you finish the GHDS and then you guys would just Sprint,
• 1:27:15
  you know, 20 more Cal Row or whatever it ends up being and.
• 1:27:19
  Then the two to to finish. The GHD should get done first.
• 1:27:24
  With the front squats, it's just really rude.
• 1:27:27
  I mean, you got to have your your your squatters in pair one,
• 1:27:33
  right? So that when pair 2 finishes,
• 1:27:35
  you go and do the squats and try to get as much as you can done
• 1:27:40
  while the other group rests like, but they're not going to
• 1:27:44
  get a ton of rest. Like I don't know how many 225
• 1:27:47
  front squats you could do after that even with dude. 9090 is so
• 1:27:52
  much. No, it's synchro.
• 1:27:56
  Is it from the floor? The pair?
• 1:28:00
  The pair? I see what you.
• 1:28:00
  Said the pair. Yeah.
• 1:28:01
  So each pair would do probably 45.
• 1:28:03
  If it's from the floor, that's. Disgusting.
• 1:28:05
  It's gonna be from the floor. Yeah, yeah, this one's the
• 1:28:12
  worst, I think. Like, yeah, we wanted the same
• 1:28:15
  expression like this doesn't, I don't want to do this.
• 1:28:18
  This is this is it looks. It looks disgusting.
• 1:28:21
  This is the this is the workout on Sunday where I'm like, OK,
• 1:28:24
  I'm done. Like I'm just.
• 1:28:26
  This, this is this is where the winning team, yeah, whoever wins
• 1:28:30
  this, I think is going to win the whole competition.
• 1:28:32
  Yeah. If you can do it, yeah.
• 1:28:34
  Especially think about, I think your abs are going to be sore
• 1:28:37
  after the the burpees and plate pushes and then and then you
• 1:28:45
  have to go into like the road GHD sit up like you're going to
• 1:28:48
  just be smoked. I don't like this spark.
• 1:28:53
  No, this is the one that's like, not fun.
• 1:28:56
  If if hold on, just wait, we have 18 minutes.
• 1:29:00
  So we'll how are we even going to do this?
• 1:29:05
  We would just. We would finish the one of the
• 1:29:09
  pairs and then because it doesn't really matter, like
• 1:29:13
  they're doing the same amount of work anyway.
• 1:29:15
  The 90 Synchro Front squat 45. Yeah, You would just go 1 to 1
• 1:29:20
  like both of us would work and do synchro, but then we would
• 1:29:23
  rest for whatever time that we. Yeah, yeah, I'm just.
• 1:29:25
  Wondering if 45 one and two go at the same time.
• 1:29:29
  Yeah, they do it. It reads that way to me.
• 1:29:32
  Yeah, so there is no rest in between.
• 1:29:35
  Yeah. But then I guess you just do the
• 1:29:36
  same thing. You're you're all just doing the
• 1:29:38
  same thing. You're going.
• 1:29:39
  To have two GHDS and two rowers in each lane.
• 1:29:42
  Yep. And then you finish and then
• 1:29:44
  have to stare at a barbell that you don't want to touch.
• 1:29:47
  Right. OK.
• 1:29:47
  So and it'll just be 45 synchro. So you're you're probably going
• 1:29:52
  to be the weekly. Yeah.
• 1:29:58
  Well, I think you're going to be, you're going to be fatigued
• 1:30:01
  enough. These are two movements I'm good
• 1:30:03
  at though. Like I'm not.
• 1:30:04
  They're not the. Row or the GHD sit up.
• 1:30:07
  Both of them I think I'm better than you and both of these.
• 1:30:10
  I think for that amount of reps we would be OK.
• 1:30:13
  And then what saves me in the front squats is that you would,
• 1:30:16
  I think you would be fatigued enough that I would be all
• 1:30:18
  right. It's just if I'm going.
• 1:30:20
  To be. I hope so.
• 1:30:21
  I just think 45 is so much. Yeah.
• 1:30:24
  That you're just going to hit a wall.
• 1:30:26
  Yeah, probably stare at the barbell waiting for you.
• 1:30:28
  Like, come on, Tyler. Like we have 45 front squats at
• 1:30:32
  2:25, I'm thinking three sets of 15 and with like a minute rest
• 1:30:36
  of. Them no.
• 1:30:39
  Nine sets of five. That's that's what you were.
• 1:30:42
  Nine sets of 53. 103 sets of. Five.
• 1:30:44
  And then we're going to be like. 15 sets of three?
• 1:30:46
  I don't know. I I would go. 10 and then like
• 1:30:49
  fives and threes. That's yeah.
• 1:30:54
  How are? You 55 squat clean singles to
• 1:30:56
  finish it. Yeah, squat.
• 1:31:02
  Clean singles might be better for me honestly.
• 1:31:05
  Yeah, that's disgusting. No.
• 1:31:07
  We're not doing 45 squat clean signal signals.
• 1:31:10
  Let's just, we'll just do it. I'm going to be frustrated at
• 1:31:12
  you, but you're going to be frustrated at me and the one
• 1:31:14
  before this, so. Matthew Warren Do the winners
• 1:31:18
  get like an invitation to syndicate?
• 1:31:20
  No. So the they will be syndicate to
• 1:31:24
  come. Those invites will already be
• 1:31:25
  out. I think you'll see a lot of
• 1:31:30
  teams that get invites to Syndicate.
• 1:31:34
  That will also be it crash and the the invites the the team is
• 1:31:41
  that Syndicate will are getting invited by their open
• 1:31:45
  performance. So if you go look at the
• 1:31:47
  CrossFit Games, the open leaderboard and switch to teams,
• 1:31:51
  Wilson's going to take the Top 40 teams in the world and say
• 1:31:56
  here's your invite Once, once the CrossFit Games finalizes the
• 1:32:00
  leaderboard, whatever that's that means, we'll also invite
• 1:32:03
  the 40 teams in the world. Give them a few days.
• 1:32:07
  Whoever doesn't accept till then, go down the neck down the
• 1:32:09
  line and say you're up until he gets a roster of 40 teams.
• 1:32:14
  So I was, I was looking through that and I mean like, I just
• 1:32:18
  assume most international teams are not going to come.
• 1:32:21
  We tried to John and I tried to get Zayn and and his team to
• 1:32:25
  come over, but he wants to go to he wants to go to Taurian.
• 1:32:28
  Why? He's going to have to go I I bet
• 1:32:32
  he goes 85 or lower, yeah. In the world Max Vargas what
• 1:32:39
  team is Max on? It's a tune up Keema.
• 1:32:44
  He's one of the gems. I I don't want to say the wrong
• 1:32:47
  1 so I've already. Yeah, let's, let's know Max.
• 1:32:49
  Yeah, Max, tell us what team you're on there.
• 1:32:51
  There's only like a couple that go do this.
• 1:32:54
  So, yeah, I mean, I, I think I've heard some teams that said
• 1:32:58
  they're going to come out and do it.
• 1:33:00
  And Oh yeah, I got the right one.
• 1:33:01
  Good deal. OK, I didn't want to.
• 1:33:05
  Say that Kathy's saying because Toreen is lit.
• 1:33:08
  Toreen is lit, I get. It's fair, they're not.
• 1:33:12
  We're not doing the live stream for Taurian, so there is a
• 1:33:15
  little bit of a knock on them. Tyler, I've decided that let's
• 1:33:17
  just not do this event. I understood.
• 1:33:20
  Yeah, I think you're gonna get to the first four and then you'd
• 1:33:22
  say we're good. Call it a tired.
• 1:33:26
  I think we got ring muscle UPS in this last 1 though.
• 1:33:28
  I you think so? They're gonna.
• 1:33:29
  Want to do it? Yeah.
• 1:33:30
  There's a lot of stuff on it. It's a last one.
• 1:33:33
  Yeah, the last event. It's called Hangover.
• 1:33:36
  So you're gonna feel like after you do the that last one, here
• 1:33:40
  it is, Water file, waterfall style, same sex pairs.
• 1:33:44
  Yeah, one pair works. One pair rest 30 synchro bar
• 1:33:47
  muscle UPS, 40 kettlebell hang snatches with the 50 threes or
• 1:33:53
  30 fives. 50 kettlebell hang clean and jerks with the 70s and
• 1:33:57
  50 threes, finishing up with 60 kettlebell deadlifts, the one
• 1:34:02
  50s and the 1:06. All kettlebell movements can be
• 1:34:05
  split between the pairs as desired.
• 1:34:08
  Now when it says waterfall, where do they start?
• 1:34:13
  Do they wait for the one pair to finish first and then they go?
• 1:34:17
  Sounds like it. OK.
• 1:34:24
  No. Oh yeah, waterfall style.
• 1:34:25
  One pair where? Oh God.
• 1:34:28
  Yeah, you got to do it all, man. 60 deadlifts so 303040.
• 1:34:32
  The 50 cleanengers and 60 deadlifts are disgusting.
• 1:34:35
  The the like the I think the 40 snatches are the easiest part.
• 1:34:39
  This workout's disgusting. It the the last two workouts are
• 1:34:43
  not like not a fan. They're they're they're how many
• 1:34:47
  people actually do kettlebell hang clean jerks?
• 1:34:52
  Like not, I mean maybe a little bit, but not very often.
• 1:34:55
  I used to do them a lot more. I haven't done them I think in a
• 1:34:58
  couple years. I I I do the mint grid.
• 1:35:04
  Yeah, but they used to be a lot more common.
• 1:35:07
  I feel like we used to do them like maybe 16 or. 17 I feel like
• 1:35:09
  when the dumbbells came out, that's what everybody then
• 1:35:11
  switched to is like, we'll just do dumbbells.
• 1:35:14
  This is so many reps though. It is.
• 1:35:17
  It's this is really bad the way you felt in the the rope climb
• 1:35:22
  workout, John, where you thought you would slow me down.
• 1:35:26
  That's how I you. Think you're going to slow me
• 1:35:27
  down in this? We're going to get to the hang
• 1:35:29
  cleaning jerks at the 70s and it's just like I'll be able to
• 1:35:34
  do it. I was just way too slow.
• 1:35:36
  Yeah. Well, yeah, the good news is
• 1:35:39
  that you know what, we're probably.
• 1:35:42
  Going to end up doing like you do 3 and I do 5 and like, it's
• 1:35:46
  not like, and that's just how we're going to do it until
• 1:35:48
  they're over, you know what I mean?
• 1:35:50
  Oh, so you want to be one pair and I be the other pair?
• 1:35:52
  No, no. Where we work together.
• 1:35:54
  You split it however you want to split it.
• 1:35:56
  Oh yeah, that's right. The deadly I think it'll be
• 1:36:00
  fine. The deadlifts.
• 1:36:02
  I got some. I got some notes here.
• 1:36:06
  Event 5. Both pairs work at the same
• 1:36:08
  time. This is from Jr.
• 1:36:10
  So event five, well we just looked at both pairs are working
• 1:36:12
  at the same time. Like we got to the finale is a
• 1:36:15
  true waterfall. Once pair one leaves the bar
• 1:36:18
  muscle up, pair two starts on the bar muscle.
• 1:36:21
  Oh, that's fun. So after so you send your best
• 1:36:23
  athletes first so the other one won't catch them but right.
• 1:36:29
  And weather permitting, this one is outside.
• 1:36:36
  Oh, on the new. The new rig that's outside in
• 1:36:39
  the back. Dude I hate the last two
• 1:36:43
  workouts. I I don't hate it in this way,
• 1:36:46
  Jon, because think. About it not as a programming
• 1:36:49
  standpoint. They're just disgusting.
• 1:36:51
  It's like the first four look really fun and then the last two
• 1:36:58
  are like, I have no desire to do it.
• 1:37:02
  I would never do it like as a pro as like, oh, I'm going to go
• 1:37:06
  do that like as a workout. You know what I mean?
• 1:37:10
  John, think, think about this, this, this isn't that bad.
• 1:37:13
  I mean, it's bad, but think of it's, it's not as much as you
• 1:37:17
  think it is because it we would be on the same pair.
• 1:37:20
  We're going to split. You're going to do 15 bar muscle
• 1:37:22
  UPS if we go 5050. No, that's synchro there, chief.
• 1:37:26
  Oh shit. Well, OK, that's fine.
• 1:37:29
  That's fine. The bar muscles are fine where
• 1:37:31
  we put the. Bar muscles are fine.
• 1:37:32
  The hang snatches you're only doing 20.
• 1:37:34
  The hang kettlebell clean and jerks you're only doing 20.
• 1:37:36
  I mean 25 still a lot but. I think you get, I think the
• 1:37:39
  hang clean and jerks. The hang clean jerks are the
• 1:37:42
  hardest. That's going to be the hardest
• 1:37:44
  part. The hardest part, yeah.
• 1:37:46
  And then it's 30 kettlebell deadlifts.
• 1:37:47
  Yeah, I just, I think, I think we'll get to the clean and jerks
• 1:37:52
  just fine. And then I think the clean and
• 1:37:56
  jerks are going to be like, we fall apart.
• 1:37:58
  Like I, I, I'm really hoping that 15 minutes is like a tight
• 1:38:02
  cap. Now the hard part about this is
• 1:38:06
  that it's double S for the snatches.
• 1:38:11
  And the cleaning they. Yeah, but the the double the
• 1:38:16
  double hang snatch is way more difficult than a double hang
• 1:38:21
  clean and jerk. I think they're the same hard
• 1:38:26
  with those weights. With those weights.
• 1:38:28
  No, I think the 70s are so much harder.
• 1:38:30
  No, I I think the cleaner Derks are the like the worst thing.
• 1:38:35
  And I don't think the 150 is going to move very easy.
• 1:38:38
  I think we're doing fives on that.
• 1:38:41
  Yeah, we're not gonna Yeah, that's that's gonna be terrible.
• 1:38:43
  I. Think how is your grip gonna
• 1:38:44
  feel after this? I don't have good grip and.
• 1:38:47
  Dress. No, it's gonna be I can do these
• 1:38:49
  things, but it's like. A1 off 30 bar muscle UPS.
• 1:38:52
  Keep doing it. You know what?
• 1:38:54
  I mean, it's starting to hang on everything else.
• 1:38:56
  I'm wearing my frog grips the entire time.
• 1:38:59
  On E we're allowed to, are we? Allowed to do that?
• 1:39:01
  Yeah. Yeah, me too.
• 1:39:02
  We're not officially signed up, whatever we.
• 1:39:04
  Want we're doing it we're. Doing it.
• 1:39:05
  Yeah, yeah. I don't care.
• 1:39:06
  I don't care. That's true.
• 1:39:08
  That's true. That is it.
• 1:39:10
  I don't want to do the last two like like you're going to like
• 1:39:15
  you have to want to do the last two for us to do the last two.
• 1:39:18
  If you like, don't have an adamant stand, then we're not
• 1:39:23
  going to do it because I'm not going to make you do it.
• 1:39:25
  I I. I think we do all six on
• 1:39:27
  Thursday. At Crucible, I made you do all
• 1:39:30
  the workouts. I know I, I, I'm not going to
• 1:39:34
  make you do this. At AR Roth no, they are we we
• 1:39:40
  are doing the commentary. We're going to all three be
• 1:39:42
  there. No, but me and Kyler like to.
• 1:39:45
  We like to do the workouts in the morning before the actual
• 1:39:48
  elites go. It's it's fun for them because
• 1:39:50
  they can see OK, like this is where it's bad.
• 1:39:53
  Obviously they're not working strategy off of us, but they
• 1:39:56
  they they can say this work gets really bad.
• 1:40:00
  They're like if it's super hard or super easy, right?
• 1:40:03
  If we're finishing under the cap, then it's probably not.
• 1:40:05
  Not super hard, right? The deadlift, the the sled push
• 1:40:10
  deadlift workout that we did for Crash.
• 1:40:11
  Very comparable. I was glad we did that one
• 1:40:14
  though, because you. Saw where it got.
• 1:40:17
  Yeah, it was so different. Once you did it then it then it
• 1:40:20
  seemed on paper. Agreed.
• 1:40:22
  Are the same sex teams going to be different or the same
• 1:40:24
  workouts? There'll be the same workouts.
• 1:40:26
  There'll be slight modifications for that.
• 1:40:28
  Those this, this, we're talking about the elite actual workouts.
• 1:40:32
  Are you going, Lucy? Assume so so.
• 1:40:39
  And if we can't, we can't. But me and Tyler just like to do
• 1:40:42
  those things. Where?
• 1:40:43
  Hey, Matthew, calm down. We got we got 15 minutes.
• 1:40:46
  We will get through this. OK, OK.
• 1:40:49
  Just be good, all right, that's CrossFit crescendo.
• 1:40:54
  The those slides will be out on Instagram probably any minute
• 1:40:58
  now and then if you were competing, you'll get an e-mail
• 1:41:01
  this weekend with all of the flow, all the standards, all the
• 1:41:04
  details you need so you don't have to listen to three of us
• 1:41:07
  try to figure it out on the fly. CrossFit Updates Before we get
• 1:41:14
  into Tyler and his updates, we do need to find out who won the
• 1:41:21
  Cross the barbell spin. Oh, thank God.
• 1:41:25
  Update Update. I would have spaced this week.
• 1:41:30
  I had it, I had, I had it queued up so.
• 1:41:33
  I know which one I want to double if it's me.
• 1:41:37
  I, I think it's me. I don't know.
• 1:41:39
  No one knows, but I think it's me.
• 1:41:42
  Oh, look at this. Vindicate if you've been living
• 1:41:45
  under a rock. Colton Mertens won the open Use
• 1:41:49
  code Mertens 26 for 26% off your order.
• 1:41:54
  How did you figure that out? Mertens 26 for 26% ends at
• 1:41:59
  midnight tonight. A limited edition Golden Iron
• 1:42:03
  Hog Tees are available. Golden Gate VND k8.com code
• 1:42:12
  Mertens 26 for 26% off. If you want to save less money,
• 1:42:17
  go use code spin and I think you saved 15%.
• 1:42:20
  So your choice. I would use the Mertons 26 for
• 1:42:24
  the next few hours. Thanks, Travis.
• 1:42:29
  All right, here we go. Real go thread.
• 1:42:36
  That's right, here we go, some of the top athletes.
• 1:42:39
  Speaking of Colton Mertens, he was the top athlete on the
• 1:42:43
  Barbell Spin leaderboard as well.
• 1:42:44
  How about that? Nobody beat him in in the Open
• 1:42:47
  or the Barbell Spin Open. Carolyn Prevo, 8th place in the
• 1:42:52
  world, winning that one. Zane Schellebert, Healy, he'll
• 1:42:57
  be on a team. He had the best team in the
• 1:42:59
  world, 51st there in the men's side, Noah Wilson, Mathias
• 1:43:06
  Porter, Jason Ray, Alex Morris, Nico Bedon, Logan Brown, Tucker
• 1:43:12
  Macklemore, Magnus Lunander. Not on a team, signed up late,
• 1:43:18
  undrafted On the women's side, Carolyn Prevail, Kyra Milligan,
• 1:43:22
  Hannah Hardy, Ledo Callagiani. 44th.
• 1:43:25
  I feel like that's a probably APR for Ledo, Samantha Pugh,
• 1:43:29
  Morgan Petullo, Nicolette Torregiani, Nicole Hunches.
• 1:43:34
  It's my girl. Ally Zerky and Megan a poll post
• 1:43:38
  Hilarious. Those were the top athletes in
• 1:43:43
  the barbell spin #leaderboard. After this, who do you think did
• 1:43:52
  the best? There's there's a lot of trash
• 1:43:54
  pandas there on the men. There's a lot of meat spins on
• 1:43:56
  the women's side. I think I'm first, John.
• 1:44:01
  I fear I'm the worst way. I do not like being in second.
• 1:44:04
  I remember last year was we were first in Week 2 and then we we
• 1:44:08
  won. I did not like being second.
• 1:44:11
  This this year spin, you were in first.
• 1:44:13
  Right, I was in first. We'll find out age group.
• 1:44:17
  Shanna, Shanna Bunts, second place in the 60 to 64 division.
• 1:44:22
  She'll be going to the age group quarterfinals next week.
• 1:44:25
  John Kim, 7th and Talia Vosaki 35th.
• 1:44:28
  Those are the best age group performers.
• 1:44:30
  Tyler, you beat John 11 thousandth in the world.
• 1:44:34
  John 14 thousandth. This was not a good time.
• 1:44:37
  I did one workout and so this was not a good, not a good open
• 1:44:44
  for me. We'll forget it and then move on
• 1:44:45
  to next year. That last workout really caught
• 1:44:48
  John back. Up.
• 1:44:49
  Yeah. How?
• 1:44:49
  How did that last workout go for you, John?
• 1:44:52
  Dude, I think if I would have had like a like whatever score I
• 1:44:55
  would put up today, I'm curious if if I'd be ahead of.
• 1:45:01
  You. What?
• 1:45:02
  What how did you do 26.3? John, can you tell this tell?
• 1:45:06
  Share with the viewers I had a flight at 9:00 AM and I was
• 1:45:10
  supposed to be home at 11 AM and I was going to do the workout in
• 1:45:13
  the afternoon at my gym. The flight got delayed for five
• 1:45:19
  hours, then we had to stay in the air for like an extra hour.
• 1:45:25
  I did not get to my car until 6:00 PM so it's good.
• 1:45:32
  You have an hour, you have an hour, you're in central.
• 1:45:33
  I map the nearest CrossFit gym because my gym is an hour away.
• 1:45:37
  Oh. That's cool.
• 1:45:38
  I go start my car. My car is not start the there's
• 1:45:43
  something wrong with the engine I'd have.
• 1:45:44
  Called it at this point. I go to Uber for to the nearest
• 1:45:50
  CrossFit. It's 15 minutes away.
• 1:45:53
  I get into, I get to this gym at about 6:25 and then I put on I,
• 1:45:59
  you know, did the waiver. They said I could do it in the
• 1:46:01
  corner. I'm like cool.
• 1:46:03
  And then I put on 95 lbs, got 2 sets of 10s, started the clock.
• 1:46:10
  You didn't warm up. I hadn't had time, Tyler.
• 1:46:13
  You had to do it and load to the score.
• 1:46:15
  Yeah, the fur like the I did, I did 2 burpees and then and then
• 1:46:20
  I and then I started. There we go.
• 1:46:23
  John's always got an excuse. I don't know how this is.
• 1:46:26
  I'm literally telling my day. Of excuses to have this one's
• 1:46:31
  pretty. Damn good, the 1st 2:00.
• 1:46:34
  Were pretty damn. Good.
• 1:46:35
  I just could not believe it when you you texted us and were like
• 1:46:37
  I've been on a plane and it's a 5 hour delay but I can't get off
• 1:46:40
  this thing. Dude, and I was like the whole
• 1:46:43
  time I'm like, I'm not, I'm not going to get this done.
• 1:46:46
  I I this is like, I'm not, I'm going to, you know, be out of
• 1:46:50
  the open. And I was very thankful to
• 1:46:54
  U-turn CrossFit. They were very accommodating.
• 1:46:57
  So go give U-turn CrossFit a shout out.
• 1:47:01
  Beautiful folks. One of the coaches knew me and
• 1:47:05
  that was that was cool. He was like, hey, I watched the
• 1:47:07
  show. So he was a fan of the show.
• 1:47:09
  Daniel Arneson, Rex Grant. There you go, Dan.
• 1:47:13
  That's always good to see. I wasn't even close.
• 1:47:16
  I should pay you 499 for that. Anything to takedown Grant.
• 1:47:21
  Yeah. So yeah, good job, got it done.
• 1:47:23
  I know 4 minutes into the workout I was like, I just need
• 1:47:26
  just get a score. Just get a score.
• 1:47:29
  Like I didn't want to do it at all.
• 1:47:30
  And I was like, just just get it.
• 1:47:32
  I feel like the Imam idea you had was something I fell back to
• 1:47:38
  about four minutes in. I was like just do the burpees
• 1:47:40
  in a minute cuz I knew the other stuff I could do in under a
• 1:47:43
  minute, but I was like just do the burpees in a minute.
• 1:47:46
  I actually went to a lot of knee burpees in the the old Carolyn
• 1:47:49
  Prevo method. Knee burpees.
• 1:47:52
  Like you just go up to 1 knee and then you step up.
• 1:47:54
  But yeah, so yeah, that's how that went.
• 1:47:59
  Glad it's over on the quarterfinals.
• 1:48:01
  What a good sign. Yeah, that's how bored I was.
• 1:48:04
  Dude, the text messages were golden.
• 1:48:06
  I felt. I was like, we're going to see
• 1:48:08
  some news report the TSA pulled a guy off a plane.
• 1:48:12
  John was losing his mind. I was like, guys, it was it was
• 1:48:17
  it was I was it was having a rough time when the car didn't
• 1:48:20
  start. So then after that, after the
• 1:48:22
  workout, I ubered back to the car, ordered a tow truck, got
• 1:48:26
  the tow. So sat in the little parking
• 1:48:28
  spot building for an hour and then like got towed to the
• 1:48:32
  nearest Christian Brothers. It's a car fixing place.
• 1:48:35
  And it Leslie picked me up and then 40 minutes later we were
• 1:48:40
  home. So I got home at 10:00 and I was
• 1:48:42
  supposed to be home at 11:00. And it was just, it was just, it
• 1:48:45
  was just not a good time. But the workout got done on, on
• 1:48:52
  and onward and upward there. You go and what you guys all
• 1:48:57
  want to know. 12. 75 point 474.2.
• 1:49:04
  'Cause there's a big gap, you know what I mean?
• 1:49:06
  And and I was the last place person so like you.
• 1:49:09
  Were making up ground though. Last time I was falling back.
• 1:49:13
  Tyler was hanging steady. You were catching up.
• 1:49:16
  God span, you're making me nervous all.
• 1:49:18
  Right. I think Tyler won for the second
• 1:49:20
  year in a row and I'm I'm last place.
• 1:49:23
  Here we go. Which one do you want to see
• 1:49:24
  first? 1st.
• 1:49:27
  First place. Yeah, let's go first.
• 1:49:29
  Place all right, first place of the barbell spin open challenge
• 1:49:34
  Trash pandas. There you go, Tyler.
• 1:49:37
  Yes. We did it again.
• 1:49:39
  I did not help in week 3, but we did it again folks.
• 1:49:42
  You did. You did.
• 1:49:44
  Thank. God, you guys are happy.
• 1:49:46
  Trash band 2 years in a row. Two years, That's impressive.
• 1:49:53
  2nd place, not doing a workout twice.
• 1:49:57
  Here we go. Yeah.
• 1:50:00
  Team meets Phil. Oh John Oval team in 3rd place.
• 1:50:07
  Which one's it going to be, John?
• 1:50:10
  I'm going to do the second one. OK.
• 1:50:13
  So I got. Just double the reps, Yeah, just
• 1:50:18
  double the time. Yeah, just double the reps and
• 1:50:19
  double the time. You think I can finish it?
• 1:50:23
  No, no. I honestly 440 ring muscle UPS
• 1:50:31
  at the end feeling like that's 150 that's. 156 before your PR.
• 1:50:37
  Yeah, I think I might go. I think I might go Twos.
• 1:50:42
  From the start. Yeah.
• 1:50:44
  The overhead lunges are going to be the worst part of that whole
• 1:50:48
  workout. Yeah, I think I just got to slow
• 1:50:50
  those down. I'm pretty good at overhead
• 1:50:52
  lunges. Be limited to this Vicky for
• 1:50:54
  some Ovaltine to get through 26.2 again.
• 1:50:57
  Thank you, Vicky. So what is it?
• 1:51:00
  How? How is it?
• 1:51:01
  160 feet foot lunge, that's how. It's it's times.
• 1:51:06
  It's was it 2 times through. I was going to give him dealer's
• 1:51:09
  choice because he's got to do this workout.
• 1:51:11
  So dealer's choice on how he wants to do it.
• 1:51:14
  Yeah, I kind of think you just double everything and double the
• 1:51:16
  time and go. Yeah.
• 1:51:20
  I agree. It's like unpartitioned it's 26
• 1:51:22
  point. Two, I would be even OK with you
• 1:51:24
  doing it where you did all the rounds of everything up to the
• 1:51:27
  ring muscle UPS. It's.
• 1:51:28
  Just double. The.
• 1:51:29
  Rounds. You can't do that.
• 1:51:31
  No, I'm just curious at how many ring muscle UPS I'll.
• 1:51:33
  Get. You can do it twice around.
• 1:51:35
  You can do it all the way through and then all the way
• 1:51:36
  through again, or you can just double everything.
• 1:51:38
  Partitioned or. Unpartitioned.
• 1:51:40
  Yeah, exactly. Like I'm, I'm just trying to
• 1:51:43
  think like as soon as I get to the ring muscle UPS, the
• 1:51:46
  workout's over because then I just go to twos and I just get
• 1:51:50
  what I can get. Right.
• 1:51:53
  It'll be interesting to see, you know, how much slower you'll
• 1:51:57
  have to go. And like, if you can finish it,
• 1:51:59
  I think you'll get deep into the ring muscle.
• 1:52:01
  Up. Yeah.
• 1:52:01
  Do you think I should finish no matter what?
• 1:52:03
  No Cap. No, Cap it.
• 1:52:05
  You need to cap it. Cap it.
• 1:52:06
  Yeah. Cap yourself.
• 1:52:08
  I mean, if I'm close, it doesn't matter I.
• 1:52:10
  Mean if you're we can't stop, but our opinion is to stop.
• 1:52:14
  OK y'all act like I'm going to hurt myself, go ahead.
• 1:52:18
  Well, we we have good reason. There's precedent for that, so
• 1:52:23
  it's called being a. Warrior.
• 1:52:24
  That's what that's called. As for the actual CrossFit
• 1:52:28
  update itself, you can watch Tyler's video and he can yell at
• 1:52:32
  him, you can make videos about him, whatever.
• 1:52:35
  Either way, there's a CrossFit update video for you.
• 1:52:38
  Gets you everything caught up in 7 minutes and it's actually.
• 1:52:43
  The start, yeah, I screwed up a couple things.
• 1:52:46
  I I feel mad at like midnight, but the the plan on that is for
• 1:52:53
  the every week going through quarterfinals and semifinals, I
• 1:52:58
  will give you guys updates. So, you know, just kind of doing
• 1:53:00
  the old CrossFit update show thing, tell you who to watch and
• 1:53:06
  you know, try to make it easier for you guys to follow because
• 1:53:09
  it is complicated. Yeah, I don't, I don't know if
• 1:53:12
  there's too much to talk about from a standpoint of it's the
• 1:53:15
  open, it's pre season, they're all moving the quarterfinals.
• 1:53:19
  Outside of teams that moves like qualify to like syndicate, it
• 1:53:23
  doesn't matter from the top athletes.
• 1:53:26
  There's nobody that we thought was going to qualify that didn't
• 1:53:31
  other than Bronislaw, which we've talked about the last two
• 1:53:33
  weeks because he has an injured knee.
• 1:53:36
  So if everybody else is qualified, there's no Brent
• 1:53:39
  Fukowski who's like 19 hundredth or whatever it is just to try to
• 1:53:43
  get through like everybody is top couple 100.
• 1:53:47
  We'll see him next week do quarterfinals and.
• 1:53:51
  It was the the one that I was like, this is going to be the
• 1:53:53
  hardest one just to be excited about filming because it was
• 1:53:57
  like there's like there's not any speculation.
• 1:53:59
  There's no like crazy. So like, you know, Austin did
• 1:54:02
  get shot in the foot and like can't do the open or something
• 1:54:05
  like that. It was, it was just straight
• 1:54:07
  down the, that's right, middle. Hey Grant, I think I think you
• 1:54:12
  got beat by Daniel, so go go work on your 26.3.
• 1:54:19
  And last but not least, what a palooza recap.
• 1:54:24
  John, you were there. I was.
• 1:54:28
  How was it? Did you have fun?
• 1:54:30
  First time in first time in Miami.
• 1:54:32
  I see what people say when they say like, well, the vibes were
• 1:54:35
  just really fun. Like and I, I always thought I
• 1:54:38
  was like, OK, like that's how I felt about that.
• 1:54:41
  But but I get it. Like everybody's just having a
• 1:54:43
  good time there like in a, in a, in a good way to not like in a
• 1:54:47
  partying way. There is that, but it like it's
• 1:54:50
  still like during the day like it's, it's everybody's just
• 1:54:53
  trying to have a good time. Nobody's taking it too serious
• 1:54:56
  or anything. The like it obviously it's not
• 1:55:00
  fun when it rains like it did, but we had a really good first
• 1:55:04
  two days and then the time that it rained really hard originally
• 1:55:09
  was in the middle of their sandbag complex workout.
• 1:55:12
  And it was really fun watching them try to get through this
• 1:55:16
  workout at a monsoon. Like, like, like, I mean,
• 1:55:20
  everybody. I don't feel like the the live
• 1:55:22
  stream didn't show, I don't think how hard it was raining.
• 1:55:25
  Oh, dude, it was, it was wild. And like, you didn't realize,
• 1:55:28
  even as a spectator, you didn't realize how wet you were getting
• 1:55:33
  because you're, you're watching them get through this.
• 1:55:36
  And I'm like, and I know I, I told Ty to like do the sandbags
• 1:55:40
  a certain way. And I'm like, oh, please God,
• 1:55:42
  don't let me mess him up. Like, like, because, like this.
• 1:55:45
  So I'm like making sure that's working out OK.
• 1:55:47
  And, and like you're, you're, you're just, you're in it,
• 1:55:50
  right? You're just, you're in, you're
• 1:55:51
  in the workout, you're in it. And then the second they
• 1:55:54
  finished, you've been in this, you've been in it for way too
• 1:55:59
  long. Like, you would have been like,
• 1:56:00
  all right, I'm out like 10 minutes ago.
• 1:56:03
  But that doesn't hit you until they're done with the workout.
• 1:56:06
  And then when it hit you, it's far too late.
• 1:56:08
  Like it's every, everything is way more wet than you think.
• 1:56:12
  And then, like, clothes are like permanently ruined.
• 1:56:14
  Like we went to the hotel and like, these clothes were wet
• 1:56:19
  three days after the fact. By the way, I left my suitcase
• 1:56:24
  in my car and it's still at the shop.
• 1:56:27
  So I'm sure, I'm sure that smells wonderful.
• 1:56:31
  John, that's the worst movement. Yeah, no, Trust me.
• 1:56:35
  I heard it from my. I heard it from my wife.
• 1:56:37
  Trust me, how hot is it in Texas?
• 1:56:38
  Right now me and my wife had a you know.
• 1:56:41
  A discussion. A discussion about it for sure,
• 1:56:45
  but but it was great. So I went to I went to the frog
• 1:56:49
  grip booth and I was like, Hey, guys, can I get the purple the
• 1:56:56
  purple grips in the extra small because my wife really wanted
• 1:57:00
  the frog grips and I and I was going to pay for it.
• 1:57:02
  And I was like, do I use, do I do code spin?
• 1:57:04
  Like do I get 50% off right? And then the frog grip guy was
• 1:57:08
  like, you got it, man, go ahead. And I was like, let's go frog
• 1:57:13
  grips. I am a fan like not that I
• 1:57:16
  wasn't a fan earlier, but like now I'm like that's my grip
• 1:57:21
  break like and I and I I'm. Going to shout grips out there.
• 1:57:25
  Shout them from. There, if you've ordered frog
• 1:57:26
  grips and you didn't use code spin, cancel your order, cancel
• 1:57:30
  your order and then reorder them like like Summer did.
• 1:57:32
  Sean's the best from Frog. Grips for sure.
• 1:57:35
  Look, she's got them on. She's the car too.
• 1:57:38
  Throw the car away. Look at that.
• 1:57:40
  The purple lavenders. Oh, there, it's on the inside.
• 1:57:43
  Yeah. All right.
• 1:57:44
  Yeah, it's cool. It's cool. jybarbell.com.
• 1:57:48
  If you want to get strong, $25.00 a month is all it is. 2
• 1:57:51
  week free trial, Free trial, jybarbell.com.
• 1:57:55
  Go hit me up. Anyway.
• 1:57:58
  So that was fun. Went to King Kong tent, did not
• 1:58:01
  have the same experience, but we're not going to go through
• 1:58:03
  that. King Kong bags are the best bags
• 1:58:05
  out there. You guys need to you guys need
• 1:58:07
  to buy more bags so they know. Who?
• 1:58:09
  Who we are. It's OK.
• 1:58:11
  I cancelled my flight. It was fine, but it was a
• 1:58:14
  problem for a time. Those are no, no, that was a
• 1:58:17
  great joke. But anyway, other than like, it
• 1:58:21
  was a really, really, really fun time.
• 1:58:24
  Even though the competition got as much rain as it ever has had
• 1:58:29
  the inside the Miami Beach thing gym was was really, really cool.
• 1:58:35
  Although I heard there was a slight controversy with the
• 1:58:37
  Miami Beach gym. Did you guys hear about this at
• 1:58:41
  all? No.
• 1:58:42
  So you were there. You were at that gym.
• 1:58:44
  Yeah, he was. He live streamed it.
• 1:58:46
  Instagram, Yeah. Yeah, you, John just texted us,
• 1:58:50
  said send everyone to my Instagram.
• 1:58:52
  No context. It's like why?
• 1:58:54
  He said no. He said doing 26.3 yeah, send
• 1:58:57
  people to my Instagram. I'm like OK.
• 1:59:00
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. And none of you did, so it's OK.
• 1:59:02
  But every everybody was on I. Shared it.
• 1:59:05
  Everybody was on Justin's YouTube.
• 1:59:06
  It's OK, just another one for the boys interrupted.
• 1:59:10
  Well, it probably got confused when James went live on Friday
• 1:59:14
  night and the stream was sideways.
• 1:59:16
  But yeah, that's on him. That's not on.
• 1:59:18
  That's not on us like he anyway regardless.
• 1:59:22
  And that was cool too, that they did the last event.
• 1:59:24
  Yeah, so. What happened with CrossFit
• 1:59:25
  Miami Beach? So apparently if you look up
• 1:59:30
  Miami Beach CrossFit gyms drop in prices, it's like $30.00 for
• 1:59:34
  a drop in, like $90.00 for a three day pass.
• 1:59:40
  And they were. But during spring break or Water
• 1:59:44
  Palooza weekend, it was $50.00 for a drop in and $135 for a
• 1:59:49
  three day pass. And they had been called.
• 1:59:50
  Smart businessman. They'd been hiking up their.
• 1:59:52
  Price. I like it.
• 1:59:54
  You do. It's demand pricing.
• 1:59:57
  Yeah, they charged $50.00 to everybody that wanted to drop in
• 2:00:00
  and people were dropping in for literally an hour, but it was.
• 2:00:06
  It's only $30 if you go there today, Grant 80 with parking.
• 2:00:11
  So like like he keeps. Saying that.
• 2:00:14
  They were, they were making out on people like like big time.
• 2:00:18
  So, you know, I think there were people who were a little bit
• 2:00:22
  upset about that and I understandably so.
• 2:00:25
  But anyway, what else? What else?
• 2:00:28
  What else? Do you have any questions?
• 2:00:30
  What about the actual competition?
• 2:00:32
  Could anybody beat Lucy? I mean she was 4 points down
• 2:00:36
  going into the last event. There were there was a six point
• 2:00:40
  gap, 1st to 4th place, Abby Dolman, Ariel Owen, Andra
• 2:00:46
  Moistus out of nowhere. And then Lucy Campbell and me
• 2:00:50
  and Brian actually had a talk on the on the pre shows that we
• 2:00:54
  were doing. And I told him if it comes down
• 2:00:58
  to one event and Lucy Campbell is in the competition, Lucy
• 2:01:02
  Campbell's going to win the competition.
• 2:01:04
  She is the most clutch athlete I think we have ever seen.
• 2:01:08
  You know, like Tia's never had to be clutch.
• 2:01:10
  She's just that much better. Like how many times does it come
• 2:01:14
  down to one event and Lucy comes out on?
• 2:01:16
  Actually Tia's probably anti clutch because it came down
• 2:01:19
  twice and she lost. Well, 2017 she tried to lose so
• 2:01:24
  just but we're not going to talk about the clutch of some Tia,
• 2:01:26
  but because it's because it's not there.
• 2:01:28
  But anyway, it's not the the I just I'm just kidding.
• 2:01:30
  I'm just kidding. Tia's, if it is women ever, just
• 2:01:33
  don't, don't worry about it. But comes down to one event.
• 2:01:38
  Who had, who wants it more? There is nobody better than Lucy
• 2:01:41
  Campbell. And sure enough, that's what
• 2:01:45
  happened. And the last event wasn't really
• 2:01:47
  particularly close. And she was surprised about
• 2:01:49
  that. She thought people would be
• 2:01:50
  around her. They weren't.
• 2:01:52
  Yeah. The athletes having to pay, by
• 2:01:57
  the way, to drop in to do that work out, I mean like.
• 2:02:01
  So, and I think she, I think there was a clip on about her
• 2:02:04
  when she goes like $50, like that's insane.
• 2:02:08
  They, I think they actually reached out to her and said, oh,
• 2:02:12
  we didn't know you were an athlete.
• 2:02:14
  You don't have to pay. And then she, and then I think
• 2:02:17
  she told them it's OK, everybody else has to pay to get in there.
• 2:02:19
  So like she was almost mad, like she was going to be the better
• 2:02:25
  person to to get at them a little bit.
• 2:02:27
  You know what I mean? Like that's kind of how that
• 2:02:28
  went down. But.
• 2:02:29
  But I mean, like in that in that instance, I'm waving it not
• 2:02:34
  because they're famous athletes, but because Water Palooza's in
• 2:02:39
  like a dire situation and we just like we got to.
• 2:02:41
  Deal with it, you just open. Sunday.
• 2:02:44
  Well, well, Sunday, no. Sunday is different though.
• 2:02:45
  I think everything was free on Sunday.
• 2:02:47
  Yeah, Sunday for the gym golf day.
• 2:02:48
  Well, for the. It was the IT was the days
• 2:02:50
  coming up. They didn't let any outside
• 2:02:52
  media in there. No, I think like Crossfat's
• 2:02:55
  saying here, Sunday was free. I believe that was for like all
• 2:02:59
  the gyms that did open up to let people do the workouts at the
• 2:03:02
  last minute. I know that like strength and
• 2:03:04
  conditioning downtown or downtown strength and
• 2:03:06
  conditioning Miami, the owner there's always been great to me.
• 2:03:11
  Like I stored my stuff there when I went the first time.
• 2:03:14
  They're cool. And so I was telling her, like,
• 2:03:18
  can you give people space to do it?
• 2:03:19
  Like they're she's no longer affiliated, but she opened up
• 2:03:22
  her doors and sent people over there.
• 2:03:25
  And so they got to get their video out, do a video, submit it
• 2:03:29
  like that versus being an affiliate.
• 2:03:31
  And it was like everybody just scrambling to find a spot
• 2:03:33
  because there aren't that many gyms in Miami Beach versus when
• 2:03:37
  you're on the mainland. And so, yeah, she took care of
• 2:03:41
  people and helped. And I think a couple other gyms
• 2:03:42
  did too as well. But yeah, I think it's a mad
• 2:03:46
  scramble because it's like, I know pool boy was like his, his
• 2:03:50
  heats were cancelled twice, I think it was.
• 2:03:53
  And he's like, and he ended up doing it there.
• 2:03:56
  Like they just grabbed equipment and started doing it.
• 2:03:58
  Like just I don't even think Quadaplus is probably like cool
• 2:04:02
  with it, but because it's still lightning and raining and stuff.
• 2:04:04
  But he did got it done. So yeah, anyway.
• 2:04:09
  Hey, what's the chances you're going to get struck by lightning
• 2:04:11
  anyway? No, honestly, I should.
• 2:04:13
  It's. Low.
• 2:04:14
  It's low. So yeah.
• 2:04:16
  And then on the men's side, James Sprague is unbeatable.
• 2:04:20
  But I think the bigger, I think the bigger story is Sprague or
• 2:04:24
  not Sprague, Ty. Ty Jenkins.
• 2:04:27
  Getting second what? About him?
• 2:04:30
  He looked impressive. Yeah, dude, he's one of the best
• 2:04:32
  people in the world. I I told you, it's so much
• 2:04:35
  bigger now. Like when you you guys haven't
• 2:04:38
  seen him, but I feel like at Syndicate he still looked like a
• 2:04:40
  little boy. And I mean, he was, you know, he
• 2:04:43
  obviously he's super fit, but he's like he's, he's, he still
• 2:04:45
  has his like little boy body. He's filling out.
• 2:04:48
  And you know, you remember when Dallin had his little boy body
• 2:04:50
  and then there was one year was like, whoa, Dallin has a man
• 2:04:54
  body now, right Like that. Picture I posted of Sprague in
• 2:04:59
  the the season report. It was a card that I made years
• 2:05:03
  ago and I was like, you were thin and kind of like, like a
• 2:05:08
  kid looking wispy. Yeah, Wispy.
• 2:05:12
  Yeah, yeah. But like, I stood next to Ty and
• 2:05:15
  I went like he's every bit as thick as I am and I asked him
• 2:05:18
  how much he weighed. He's at 194, which just means
• 2:05:22
  he's got more musculature than I do, because when you look at the
• 2:05:25
  same big and you're less, right. But I'm just saying he has got a
• 2:05:28
  man body now. That's scary.
• 2:05:31
  He's gonna be good. And then just a real quick
• 2:05:33
  update. If you didn't pay attention on
• 2:05:35
  Monday, there's a tie for Austin Hatfield and Yonokoski.
• 2:05:39
  So what happened was during 26.3, Nick Matthew early on,
• 2:05:46
  like 4 minutes in, 4 1/2 minutes in, he changed his weights,
• 2:05:50
  added, added the 10 lbs to it for the 115 LB bar after the
• 2:05:54
  thrusters and then just started power cleaning, skipped the 12
• 2:05:58
  burpees. And apparently the next day, or
• 2:06:03
  I guess no, on Saturday, somebody was reviewing their
• 2:06:05
  video because they videoed themselves doing 26.3 to have it
• 2:06:08
  in case they, you know, set the world record and needed a video
• 2:06:12
  and realized that Nick did it, alerted Dylan and team.
• 2:06:16
  The problem, like it was technically passed like what the
• 2:06:20
  rule book says, is the appeal period, but the problem is it
• 2:06:24
  was part of the open workout so it it had to be like an official
• 2:06:28
  score, not what Wadapalooza could do right?
• 2:06:31
  So anyway, they moved Nick Matthew down the leaderboard to
• 2:06:34
  match his score from that, which then caused Yonakowski to then
• 2:06:40
  leapfrog Austin Hatfield from 4th to 3rd.
• 2:06:43
  But because it was after the deadline to do appeals,
• 2:06:48
  Wadapalooza worked with Austin and Yoda and they both agreed
• 2:06:51
  it's just tie for third place. So which is a little, little
• 2:06:57
  craziness there. It's a very like, all righty
• 2:07:00
  then, yeah. And just kind of moved on.
• 2:07:02
  Yeah. So can I, can I give one person
• 2:07:04
  a shout out before we leave? Because I know we're leaving?
• 2:07:06
  Yeah, you got one quick shout out there, John.
• 2:07:08
  OK, there is a woman named Jill or Jillian.
• 2:07:12
  I don't know. I don't remember which one, Jill
• 2:07:15
  or Jillian. But.
• 2:07:17
  But she came up to me and introduced herself and she is a
• 2:07:20
  New Zealander. And they came from New Zealand
• 2:07:24
  to Watapalooza. And they love the show.
• 2:07:27
  They watch the show every Wednesday or Thursday morning
• 2:07:29
  for them. Yeah.
• 2:07:32
  So I I met a Kiwi and she goes to CrossFit.
• 2:07:34
  HWPO. Apparently HWPO tried to buy
• 2:07:39
  them out because there was already a gym that was CrossFit.
• 2:07:44
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 2:07:47
  And then there's there's a little story about that.
• 2:07:49
  But you know we can a. Subscriber content or.
• 2:07:54
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. But anyway, thank you.
• 2:07:56
  Thank you for coming and seeing me miss Jill Slash Jillian.
• 2:08:00
  I I, I wish I remembered, but she's she was there for masters.
• 2:08:04
  Super ripped, like biceps bigger than bigger than Tyler's.
• 2:08:09
  But yeah, anyway. Always, always fun to meet the
• 2:08:13
  the those people we'll see. Hopefully we'll see some fans on
• 2:08:16
  in April at Crash. Crescendo will be live streaming
• 2:08:19
  it and then following up with Syndicate Crown.
• 2:08:22
  So thank you guys. We will see you guys next week.
• 2:08:25
  I apologize to absolutely nobody.
