  Welcome. Welcome to the Spin.
• 0:53
  Thank you. I'm excited to be here.
• 0:55
  It's a special Tuesday edition again.
• 0:57
  My son has another track meet, so they decided to put
• 0:59
  everything on Wednesdays. I'm sorry, Abigail.
• 1:04
  I'm savvy. I'm sorry.
• 1:08
  She's supposed to be included. Yeah, I know she's eating
• 1:11
  Cheerios over. There, she's munching on some
• 1:13
  Cheerios right now, having a grand old time.
• 1:16
  Thank you. Code Spin gets you 15% off Frog
• 1:20
  grips. You can also use Code Kyra 15
• 1:24
  for Frog grips. You want to get 15% off that
• 1:26
  way? No, no big deal.
• 1:29
  But we only invite winners to the show and that's why we have
• 1:36
  Kyra on today. The thing?
• 1:39
  I've never been invited to your show, that's why you've.
• 1:41
  Been on. Before you've been on.
• 1:43
  We knew he just said that. We knew you would be a champion
• 1:48
  and so we had to invite you before we get into.
• 1:51
  Before makes total. Sense exactly before we get into
• 1:57
  how you, you know, just took everybody to school.
• 2:02
  The kids say mogged spin. Is that?
• 2:04
  Oh yeah. OK.
• 2:05
  Moggers Mog. I think so.
• 2:06
  Is that what it is? I literally train with three
• 2:09
  1819 year olds and so yeah, I understand that.
• 2:13
  Quarters, Maxine, I think maybe that might also be.
• 2:16
  Yeah, cool. I don't think I heard that one.
• 2:20
  That's a stretch Before we get into it.
• 2:22
  Paper Street coffee Kyra Milligan wins the CrossFit
• 2:25
  quarterfinals. You can get your paper street
• 2:30
  coffee, the rogue Kyra's own coffee blend.
• 2:34
  Yeah, 30%. Off.
• 2:37
  Yeah, 30% off rogue bags of coffee.
• 2:41
  Use code KYRA between now and Sunday.
• 2:45
  Oh, snap. And you will get 30% off that.
• 2:49
  That's a pretty good deal. So yeah.
• 2:51
  Can have your morning coffee and you get a look at cute little
• 2:53
  rogue's face. Look at that, you get frost Soma
• 2:56
  and a bag of rogue coffee. So how do you do this?
• 3:00
  You you brew the coffee, you kind of, you know, do that sort
• 3:03
  of an espresso thing and then you take like a soma or a frost
• 3:06
  and you pour it on top. So.
• 3:07
  It's got Shake It Up. Cold action.
• 3:08
  I think she just drinks the can. Yeah, you drink the can while
• 3:11
  you're making sure espresso, right?
• 3:13
  Smart. Yeah, got it.
• 3:15
  That's the better thing to do. Keeper drinks the cans while I'm
• 3:18
  still sleeping so he doesn't make noise with the machine.
• 3:21
  That's a good. Idea.
• 3:22
  I like that, yeah. So yeah, papers St. coffee.com,
• 3:27
  use code KYRA between now and Sunday.
• 3:29
  Get 30% off for a little package there.
• 3:33
  Yeah. It's quite the weekend, Kyra.
• 3:36
  Were you surprised? Were you surprised?
• 3:38
  Well, I mean, I know you know your scores were good, but like
• 3:44
  to be first, so like obviously. We had the best camp at Proven,
• 3:48
  like Liv, Lucy, Riley, Kendall, like all of us were here.
• 3:53
  And it's always hard. Just like online semis last year
• 3:56
  where everybody's putting up a good score and you still are
• 3:59
  like crap, is this enough? And then you realize that you're
• 4:02
  just in the room with some of the best athletes in the world
• 4:05
  and we're all at the top of the leaderboard.
• 4:07
  So like I was stressing all weekend.
• 4:09
  I'm like, I only have an invite to Mayhem.
• 4:11
  Like I don't have an invite to anywhere else.
• 4:13
  So we're good, I hope. So you just just got to throw
• 4:19
  down and and beat everybody. Yeah.
• 4:21
  I, I, I was curious if you were surprised that it was by so
• 4:26
  much. Not necessarily winning, but if
• 4:29
  you look at all of the points, like everybody's within 20
• 4:32
  points of each other and then you're there's a 30 point gap
• 4:35
  between you and 2nd place. Yeah.
• 4:36
  That's yeah. I mean, I am surprised, but I
• 4:39
  also think like there might be a lot of tie break times that are
• 4:43
  kind of messing up some scores, you know?
• 4:46
  And so I think that gap will slowly disappear when scores
• 4:49
  aren't finalized or like approved or whatever.
• 4:54
  Johnny drama for Kiefer to poke his head out the door and wave.
• 4:59
  I do want to say there's no way. I told him he cannot be
• 5:03
  listening to this, if he is it's probably on his phone with
• 5:06
  headphones in and he lied to me about it but.
• 5:10
  Why is he not allowed to listen? Cuz like if I was hearing myself
• 5:13
  downstairs while he's listening to on the TV, I'd start
• 5:16
  freaking. Out.
• 5:16
  Oh, OK, OK. Like the one interview I got.
• 5:18
  To do with the. Games and I was trying to talk
• 5:20
  while also hearing myself. It was horrible.
• 5:23
  Yeah, that's hard. Especially when there's a delay,
• 5:27
  you're like, Oh yeah. Yeah, but I mean, Kiefer and I
• 5:31
  like joked around, we're like, no, we're winning quarters.
• 5:32
  Like I've always been fine online, but like I don't move
• 5:36
  like an open buddy and I was like, that's since crash.
• 5:39
  Like we've ran a lot. We've kind of just shifted our
• 5:42
  training gears and I was like, you know what, I don't want
• 5:45
  quarters. And yes, the workouts were
• 5:47
  perfect for me, I'm not going to lie.
• 5:49
  And so like, I looked at them, I was like, I'm not scared of any
• 5:51
  of these. Like, hell yeah, let's go.
• 5:54
  And I was more so joking about it.
• 5:56
  But I think it's really cool that it's like you can see when
• 5:59
  what we've done at Crash is it's been working.
• 6:02
  So I'm excited for this season. Good.
• 6:05
  Yeah. So you, I mean, you saw those on
• 6:06
  Monday and you were just excited about all of them.
• 6:10
  Yeah, I was excited. Don't get me wrong.
• 6:12
  Like they look, they're great workouts.
• 6:14
  None of them scared me, but they weren't like what I wanted to
• 6:20
  see from a semi or from a quarterfinals.
• 6:22
  Like I wanted to go to semifinals being tested almost
• 6:26
  like a semi final to kind of see where you're at.
• 6:29
  I'm so excited. I won absolutely like but I kind
• 6:33
  of wish there was like GHDS hands and walks stuff that like
• 6:36
  I can see how much better I've gotten and test before it
• 6:41
  matters to get my ticket at the games that's.
• 6:44
  Fair. But I'm not mad about it either.
• 6:46
  That's OK, John's mad. For you, I'm not mad about it
• 6:49
  either. I Yeah.
• 6:51
  Yeah, you're not the only semi final athlete here in the panel.
• 6:54
  Oh yeah, congratulations John. What?
• 6:57
  I made the semi final. This isn't about me.
• 6:59
  We're about Kyra. About Kyra.
• 7:01
  Wow, congratulations. John.
• 7:03
  What's more impressive, Kyra winning the Kyra winning
• 7:07
  quarterfinals or John making it the semifinals?
• 7:09
  What's? More impressive.
• 7:10
  ABS, ABS. Well, I don't know, 'cause then
• 7:13
  it's kind of an insult if you say Kyra.
• 7:15
  I well if. You say John, I mean.
• 7:17
  I. Get I get that's.
• 7:19
  Winning. Winning is insane.
• 7:24
  Winning is insane. It's an accumulation of like
• 7:27
  multiple factors, good workouts, great training.
• 7:29
  Like you, you were primed at the right time.
• 7:31
  You didn't get sick. There's like so many factors
• 7:34
  going and like John's fit right now.
• 7:36
  I was a little surprised when John was like, I'm going to I'm
• 7:40
  going to make it to semifinals. I was like, all right, like
• 7:43
  we'll see. So he.
• 7:45
  Never said which one. Yeah, yeah.
• 7:49
  He's got online, that's it. I but also like go ahead.
• 7:53
  Sorry, like if you look at my open scores too, like I got 8th
• 7:57
  and 5th or something and then the wall ball one, we won't talk
• 8:01
  about that. So like it's not just
• 8:02
  quarterfinals? Like I.
• 8:03
  I do feel very fit right now and I feel excited.
• 8:06
  I I like to think that Nicole Hanches just made a monster out
• 8:13
  of you in beating you in the first workout and then.
• 8:16
  That's that's your athlete. That yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 8:19
  yeah. And then it and then it made
• 8:21
  this monster that wins quarterfinals.
• 8:23
  Basically, this is she's your Ben Smith.
• 8:26
  You know what I mean for Matt Fraser.
• 8:28
  She made an online right as of right.
• 8:30
  Now, yeah, she was. She's 808686 in the world so she
• 8:34
  should be at syndicate. That's exciting.
• 8:36
  Yeah, yeah, we're, we're, we're stoked, but.
• 8:38
  See, so I hope that too with our feud that we don't know we have
• 8:43
  secret. Feud.
• 8:45
  Like she, she tells me like the girls that she beat and and I'm
• 8:48
  like, yeah, but hey, you until you beat them.
• 8:52
  Someone. Hell yeah.
• 8:54
  I tell her go ahead. That's why I was like telling
• 8:57
  people I'm like, if you beat Tia while she's pregnant and it's
• 8:59
  open workout like them for you. When I was judging them at
• 9:02
  Friday Night Lights, I'm like, I know you're mad about your
• 9:05
  score, but like you beat Tia. Like, that's kind of cool.
• 9:12
  Speaking of like the proven, like who did you did you work
• 9:15
  out along like next to someone on all of the workouts?
• 9:19
  Yeah, for most of them, except for both times I did the shuttle
• 9:22
  run workout, I always had somebody by my like bias.
• 9:26
  It just kind of depended on like day one I did the row handstand
• 9:31
  push up and the shuttle run workout and then some people
• 9:33
  only did the bar muscle up 1. So you always had someone to go
• 9:36
  with for the most part, but you didn't have to like, follow what
• 9:40
  everybody was doing. Yeah, and I mean, it's not just
• 9:45
  even those who were in Nashville alongside you.
• 9:48
  I mean, obviously Colton does well, Olivia does well, Lucy
• 9:51
  does well. But then you go over to
• 9:54
  Australia and you have Jay and Ricky and Gracie all doing it
• 9:59
  from Australia. Like what is going on with
• 10:00
  proven like? Yeah, I think the men and and
• 10:04
  woman to win like they both won in the same camp is, is pretty
• 10:10
  impressive. Even even if even though the
• 10:12
  workouts are what they are, it's still that's still incredibly
• 10:14
  hard to do. But even like if you look at top
• 10:17
  ten, like a lot of us are proven.
• 10:19
  So even like, like Maddie, you know what I mean?
• 10:22
  I'm thinking of people like. Her Maddie Fouts, yeah.
• 10:25
  Yeah. She didn't.
• 10:27
  Right. I mean, I've, I've screamed to
• 10:29
  people she's going to make the games this year and you don't
• 10:31
  know her name and this is probably the best she's ever
• 10:33
  done. And I'm really excited that she
• 10:36
  ended up getting a backfill spot to Mayhem.
• 10:37
  It'll be super cool for her. Who's more stressed during
• 10:41
  quarterfinals, you or Kiefer? Kiefer for sure I think.
• 10:46
  And like I've talked about this. Before, but like last year I was
• 10:49
  stressed like, you know, the sophomore slump that people say,
• 10:51
  like, you think you have something to prove.
• 10:54
  And then this year I'm seriously having so much fun.
• 10:56
  I don't know if it's like again, because I have my little, what I
• 10:59
  call my daughters or sisters training with me and they're
• 11:02
  keeping me young and just, it's just fun.
• 11:05
  Like I literally walk into the gym and it's fun.
• 11:07
  Like Lucy's here, It's fun. We're just going at it with each
• 11:09
  other. And yeah, so he's just stressed
• 11:12
  because I walk in and he's like, Are you ready to go?
• 11:13
  I'm like, sure, OK, just tell me what I'm doing.
• 11:18
  That excites me for you because I feel like there's something to
• 11:21
  that. Like I'm going to call it the
• 11:23
  Hopper Renaissance, where like you kind of kill yourself and
• 11:27
  then you don't get the results and then you start having fun
• 11:29
  training and then you're just like, I'm keeping it fine no
• 11:32
  matter what. If I got to take a week off, I'm
• 11:34
  taking a week off. And then and then, you know,
• 11:37
  next year he won the games. Like it's the best version of
• 11:40
  him he's ever been. We're going top ten this year
• 11:43
  and then we'll see about. That but.
• 11:46
  I mean 1/4 finals. But I'm, I'm just saying it, it
• 11:49
  bring like, I just feel like that's the recipe that bringing
• 11:52
  out the best version of yourself.
• 11:54
  And I think it's harder than most people realize for athletes
• 11:58
  to keep that mindset. Most people just want to bang
• 12:02
  their head into a wall forever. I'll tell you you.
• 12:05
  Have to like surround yourself with those right people like
• 12:08
  again this weekend. Yeah, we all wanted to beat each
• 12:11
  other for sure. But like, I did my handset push
• 12:13
  ups 1st and then Liv did it the next day and she beat me.
• 12:18
  She got first in the world. I got second on it.
• 12:20
  And I was over there like congratulating her.
• 12:22
  Like I was so excited for her. Like you just have to like check
• 12:24
  your ego and be like, you know what?
• 12:25
  That was a great score. Mine's a great score.
• 12:27
  We're both moving on. How fun is that?
• 12:30
  I'll tell you how most people can like what is it called?
• 12:34
  Sympathize with what you're talking about, where you try too
• 12:38
  hard and then you kind of let loose.
• 12:40
  It's like with bowling. I feel like if you go bowling
• 12:44
  like, and you're just like, I don't care, you'll do great.
• 12:47
  And then the moment you try, there's no way you can hit a
• 12:50
  single pin. So yeah.
• 12:51
  That's actually pretty accurate and not know where you're going.
• 12:54
  With that. I need to hear some of these
• 12:57
  bowling stories, Tyler, actually, you know, if there's
• 13:00
  some deep trauma with that. I swear to God, if I go the
• 13:03
  first game of bowling, I'm like, I can GoPro.
• 13:06
  The moment I think that it's all over, it's all over.
• 13:10
  We can go bowling after mayhem. Yeah, we'll do that.
• 13:14
  That's why you might take it to the games by going bowling.
• 13:19
  Yes, you got mayhem 3 weeks from now I think.
• 13:22
  It's three weeks doing 2 training weeks and then AD load
• 13:25
  and we're out there. Yeah, out there.
• 13:28
  So that was your, that's your, that's your only one we were
• 13:31
  talking about earlier. You signed up for Taurian, is
• 13:35
  that correct? Yeah, I sent up for Taurian
• 13:37
  leaderboard and I would like to go there regardless.
• 13:39
  Like just 'cause I think me, Maddie Gracie out there would be
• 13:42
  pretty fun and I've always wanted to go.
• 13:44
  It looks like one of the coolest competitions in the entire
• 13:47
  world. It's going to be everybody from
• 13:50
  proven is going to be there. So might as.
• 13:51
  Well, yeah, but like, and that's why I'm like, I want to go now.
• 13:54
  Like I'm super close to a lot of the athletes that live over
• 13:57
  there who are going to go over there.
• 13:58
  And then hopefully Kiefer will be there too, since he is like
• 14:01
  great. Gracie Zane has a team, Bailey,
• 14:05
  everyone else. But yeah, Torian, Torian and
• 14:08
  Mayhem are the two that I'm looking at.
• 14:10
  I don't know about legends. When I get the invite, I can
• 14:13
  decide about that. But who?
• 14:15
  Knows back-to-back weeks. I mean, why not?
• 14:19
  That's just go win mayhem and that's all.
• 14:21
  That's all that matters. Yeah.
• 14:22
  Yeah. Then you don't have to worry
• 14:24
  about it, you just start training for.
• 14:26
  Them I like competing, might as well just turn around and go do
• 14:30
  it again. Right, turn right around and go
• 14:32
  to Knoxville and go down there. It's it's.
• 14:35
  Yeah, then go to Torres. Man, she had a hard sigh.
• 14:38
  Our flight. From Australia, but I will be
• 14:44
  down there regardless because everybody, like most people from
• 14:47
  the gym aren't going to be down there so I'll be there to
• 14:49
  support them for sure. That'd be cool.
• 14:51
  Yeah. Do you plan on going out to
• 14:54
  Mayhem and running the trail? If we're allowed to, yeah, I
• 14:58
  would love to. I The only time I've done that
• 15:00
  trail is when I went team with Mayhem and we mountain biked on
• 15:03
  it and I have horrible memories so I would like to do it on my
• 15:07
  feet. So with running, I feel like
• 15:12
  you've gotten better this year. You you were on a team with a
• 15:16
  few people on Hyrox and set the open relay world record.
• 15:22
  I think if anybody would ask if there's a world, if there's a
• 15:25
  Hyrox world champion or or world record holder, they would not
• 15:29
  say Kyra a year ago. But here you are.
• 15:31
  What is? What has that trading been?
• 15:35
  It's been fun. Like again, Crash.
• 15:38
  I was really excited for it. It kind of shit the bed There
• 15:41
  was again, like wasn't really having fun kind of.
• 15:44
  And so Keeper and I sat down, looked at everything and we've
• 15:48
  been working with a running coach named Mark and he's great
• 15:52
  and I'm running 3 * 3 or 4 times a week.
• 15:57
  All my things have improved. I actually enjoy it.
• 16:00
  I'm literally PR ING my 5K10 KS and everything else and I'm
• 16:04
  really excited. I like want there to be a
• 16:07
  straight run to show that I can actually hang with the girls
• 16:10
  now. And it's not just like, hey, is
• 16:11
  Kyra going to get zero or three points like, but at the same
• 16:16
  time, I'm like, I'm OK with a running workout.
• 16:20
  So is that more? Is that more than you've run in
• 16:21
  the past, or is it different? It's definitely different.
• 16:24
  So like I, I've always had a problem with like shin splints
• 16:28
  and stuff and like if they go, they go and I just can't pick up
• 16:31
  my feet. And so now, like running
• 16:33
  mechanics, everything has just been so much better.
• 16:37
  And like, I really, really enjoy running.
• 16:40
  Do you, do you think that's from proven with the high rock?
• 16:43
  I mean is Mark associated with high rocks and proven or is it
• 16:46
  completely separate? No, it's completely separate.
• 16:49
  Yeah, OK. And that's like we're like
• 16:52
  keeper is such a great coach too that something's not working
• 16:55
  outsource kind of figure out like what else I need because
• 16:58
  the stuff that he programs just for that might not work for me
• 17:01
  or it works for somebody else and it's been good.
• 17:04
  John, it's a hire, Mark. It's a Hinshaw sort of situation
• 17:09
  where he's like, hey, you know, people give him a call.
• 17:12
  Kind of, yeah, I guess. Have you seen McFarlane USA?
• 17:19
  You guys should watch that movie tonight.
• 17:21
  Thanks, keeper, on your next date night.
• 17:24
  I it's just I've never been more.
• 17:26
  I mean, you're you're fine, but I've never been more motivated
• 17:29
  to go running than after that movie.
• 17:31
  It's a movie about running. But I'm telling you right now
• 17:34
  like. Sounds riveting.
• 17:36
  I almost shed. I almost shed tears.
• 17:38
  I almost shed tears. It's, it's, I'm, I'm serious.
• 17:41
  It is such a good movie. And I think I went and ran the
• 17:45
  first time I watched it, it was like 9:00 PM and I just went
• 17:48
  outside and ran like Forrest Gump.
• 17:50
  And then I was tired like like 6 minutes later and was like well
• 17:54
  how? Was that unfortunately like
• 17:57
  Keeper also hates this about me but like motivational stuff
• 17:59
  doesn't work for me. It's feel good girl.
• 18:02
  It's not motivation. No, I got.
• 18:04
  No. When keeper goes that, he's the
• 18:06
  better athlete and the better runner.
• 18:08
  I'm like, let's go, freaking run.
• 18:09
  OK, let's go. Look, listen to listen to your
• 18:12
  coach, OK? And I'm about to be a grid
• 18:17
  champion, so 3 for three. I don't even know if you can
• 18:24
  count that. Why?
• 18:26
  Because you're just. Counting you just no, no, no.
• 18:28
  You got drafted by the best team.
• 18:29
  You're you're you're Kevin Durant going to the Warriors
• 18:32
  like it's not you still. Got to be a good player to get
• 18:36
  on the best team. He doesn't get credit for those
• 18:38
  dreams. That's just messed up.
• 18:41
  You're not sitting there because you're fit.
• 18:43
  John's just mad you didn't go to his team.
• 18:45
  That's. No, no, a little bit, yeah.
• 18:48
  John will say this, and then he'll make an argument for why
• 18:50
  LeBron is the best of all time. That's OK, A lot of my friends
• 18:54
  do grid and they're all mad at me that I didn't go on their
• 18:56
  team. I mean, like, like, you're fine.
• 19:00
  It's just you're fine, an easy thing to do.
• 19:03
  It's like that's all. If it makes you feel any better,
• 19:06
  it's really humbling me how fast everyone moves.
• 19:08
  I'm like I don't understand. CrossFit.
• 19:11
  It's not CrossFit. Like I told I almost got Dallin
• 19:15
  to come down. Colton was supposed to do a
• 19:17
  couple matches, but then he got hurt, which sucks.
• 19:20
  But I I told Dallin and Jason, I'm like, guys like you don't
• 19:24
  understand. I don't think you can beat me at
• 19:26
  this stuff. And, and they would laugh and
• 19:28
  I'm like, it's 20 seconds. And if you don't have the power
• 19:32
  that I have, you're not going to beat me.
• 19:34
  Like, like it's, it's, it's not CrossFit and.
• 19:38
  Nope, I literally just got my assignments and I was like I'm
• 19:41
  doing what now? But I feel like your strength is
• 19:46
  significant enough that you can just do everything.
• 19:49
  Yeah, I mean, it's not. Yeah, all of it looks fun.
• 19:50
  I'm like just put me in wherever you need.
• 19:52
  Me. Yeah, You.
• 19:52
  You don't have to hit the standards.
• 19:54
  Just get close and you're fast. That's all you.
• 19:57
  Guys do pistol thruster city that.
• 20:00
  Doesn't look fun, Yeah. Yeah.
• 20:03
  So has it, has it sunk in that you've won quarterfinals?
• 20:06
  Like have you sent in all the videos?
• 20:07
  Like where is that? Process yeah, I sent in all the
• 20:09
  videos. I think they've watched it so
• 20:11
  hopefully getting my approval. I'm not like worried about it or
• 20:14
  anything but I will say when like I first looked at the
• 20:18
  leaderboard, obviously was sitting there refreshing it over
• 20:21
  and over at 2:00 and then I saw I was in first and so I went
• 20:25
  back to look at my videos and I was like did I put in the right
• 20:27
  scores? Did I do all the rest like?
• 20:31
  And then I texted Keeper. I was like, I'm scared.
• 20:34
  I don't understand. But yes, now that I'm like, OK,
• 20:38
  everything's great. All the scores are correct.
• 20:41
  I'm happy. You didn't even believe you won.
• 20:43
  You were like I've I've messed this up.
• 20:45
  Somewhere, well, because I submitted my scores, I think
• 20:50
  Saturday, yeah, Saturday. And then when I woke up I went
• 20:54
  to go double check and I put the bar muscle up one in as 447
• 20:58
  instead of 647. So then I was like, did I do
• 21:01
  that for all? Of them.
• 21:05
  There. Oh my gosh, I'm kill layman.
• 21:07
  I don't even. Think 447 is possible?
• 21:11
  I was like, oh damn. Probably like 647 is possible
• 21:15
  after I did it, but. Did you see Tyler?
• 21:17
  Did you see our little attempt at it?
• 21:20
  How'd it go? Kyra.
• 21:21
  Not Kyra. Kyra.
• 21:23
  We're we're also get 647. No, no, no.
• 21:26
  Yeah. They were still working out at
• 21:28
  6:47, yeah. We we were tied for the first
• 21:32
  ever 10 minutes just back and forth.
• 21:35
  Were you doing Iman? I was doing an imam.
• 21:38
  I don't know what Tyler. Was doing.
• 21:39
  I was on my own adventure as usual.
• 21:41
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we were just tied for 10
• 21:43
  minutes and then it crept me ahead just by a little bit.
• 21:47
  And then it just was like, Tyler exploded.
• 21:50
  He died. Every time he did a hang clean,
• 21:52
  he would just throw the dumbbells 5 feet and then he'd
• 21:54
  have to go gather the dumbbells. And I'm sorry.
• 21:58
  That's the thumbnail, and it was representative of the of the
• 22:01
  working. Listen.
• 22:03
  Why is John sitting? Listen, look, little girl, OK?
• 22:09
  It's your grip, not your heart, right?
• 22:11
  Why? Are you saying no?
• 22:12
  It's it's hold on to it. I can't hold on to it.
• 22:15
  What am I supposed to do? Why not sit down?
• 22:17
  You want me to just stand there and be like I can't do nothing?
• 22:21
  That's what I did, Tyler. Won honestly.
• 22:27
  He. Did win that he.
• 22:28
  Did win somebody couldn't count to 120?
• 22:30
  No. Well, I mean I redid the
• 22:32
  workout. I won by technicality.
• 22:34
  Winning is winning, John. Anyway, anyway we were tied at
• 22:37
  10 minutes and then I finished at 12 O 9 and he finished at
• 22:40
  1417 and we were tied with 20. Reps.
• 22:44
  At with 20 reps left we were tied and it took 4 minutes like
• 22:48
  he had a little bit of a tantrum.
• 22:50
  What was the time cap? 15 minutes.
• 22:53
  Hell yeah. Then.
• 22:55
  Then I was I miscounted and was one Rep short and had to redo
• 22:58
  the workout. So I I had to catch that for you
• 23:02
  as I. I appreciate you doing that too.
• 23:05
  That was the greatest text. We.
• 23:08
  Do no. Oh, I did a drastically
• 23:10
  different strategy and it worked so much better.
• 23:13
  A strategy that would work. For, and let me tell you
• 23:15
  something, Kyra, I sat down five times during that one and I was
• 23:20
  30 seconds faster. Thank you very much.
• 23:22
  But if you didn't sit down, imagine how much faster you'd be
• 23:25
  if you just stood under. My.
• 23:27
  Heart, John. Imagine how much better it would
• 23:29
  go. Dang, I like my strategy.
• 23:32
  I thought my strategy was great. What was your strategy?
• 23:35
  Go. That was her strategy, yeah.
• 23:37
  Mine was literally chill like I finished and I was like OK my
• 23:41
  grip hurts that's about it. But like I did 10 bar muscle UPS
• 23:45
  into 5 rounds of 12 dumbbell cleans but I did 6 drop 6:00
• 23:52
  every single time. 6 bar muscle ups and then I finished the rest
• 23:56
  of the cleans after. So in my head I just had to
• 23:59
  think 5 rounds for time of like a chill pace and then just
• 24:02
  finish those cleans. Those how many cleans was it at
• 24:07
  the end? I think just 20.
• 24:09
  That's crazy. That's all Tyler had, too.
• 24:11
  Yeah, that's all I had, man. Yeah.
• 24:14
  Look, look. That's when I.
• 24:15
  Shifted the E mom. Your judge is literally vibing
• 24:21
  to the music. Here goes, John.
• 24:26
  I'm having a grand old time man. This last these last few of the
• 24:31
  bar muscles, I was just like, there's no reason for me to not
• 24:34
  break them up smaller. Are we going to sit here and
• 24:36
  watch this? Like son, did you have a judge?
• 24:39
  Yeah, he's in the back. Did he just sit?
• 24:42
  He just sat and counted. Yeah, and he counted
• 24:45
  incorrectly. This is where it is a really
• 24:48
  hard one to count. I like so so Dave Charbonneau
• 24:51
  judged on mine. But for that one like Kiefer was
• 24:53
  my second Rep counter just in case I went off game plan just
• 24:56
  to make sure everything was good.
• 24:59
  As you can see, I had two judges.
• 25:00
  I can't believe just how like equal and then Kyra, look at the
• 25:07
  time we're tied at 11 minutes and it takes him 3 minutes to
• 25:13
  the next 20 reps. When she told me I had 20 left,
• 25:19
  I'd like to die. Was this live?
• 25:21
  No. Oh you guys should have done a
• 25:23
  live and just saw how many like followers started just leaving.
• 25:29
  There were a lot there were too many live streams for to have
• 25:31
  John and Tyler do it, Yeah. There's too like too many of
• 25:34
  y'all were going live like we only do that.
• 25:36
  People would have loved to watch you guys because then you can
• 25:39
  actually see what normal. Approachable fitness is.
• 25:43
  Yeah, like I wouldn't want to watch Colton for it.
• 25:46
  Like, well, that's not happening.
• 25:49
  John, it's just so unfair watching you do these cleans.
• 25:52
  It's like. Maybe you should sign up for
• 25:54
  Grid Tyler. Maybe.
• 25:56
  You know, or JY Barbell jybarbell.com if you want to get
• 26:00
  strong or. Just just throw in the
• 26:04
  dumbbells. Just I I wanted to just launch
• 26:07
  those. Look, he's got 10 reps left.
• 26:09
  He's got 10. Just go do it, man.
• 26:10
  I don't. Think you understand how bad I
• 26:12
  feel in this moment? I I was throwing a huge pity
• 26:15
  party for myself the whole time. Dude, there's one I don't I I
• 26:19
  think he picks the dumbbells up and just puts them back down.
• 26:23
  I just forget it. When I started off that last set
• 26:27
  of 20, I was like, I felt terrible.
• 26:29
  And I was like just do singles. And then I did 2 and I was like,
• 26:32
  don't do singles. This is a terrible idea.
• 26:37
  It looked great. What looks great?
• 26:42
  All of it. Except for that the dumbbell
• 26:44
  throwing is not good, but thrusted it looks.
• 26:48
  Great, he's literally got 6 reps left.
• 26:51
  I paced this perfectly. I failed my last Rep I.
• 26:54
  Paced this perfectly. Yeah, yeah, perfectly.
• 27:00
  Hell yeah. Great score.
• 27:03
  I thought it was two 100 and wait.
• 27:05
  Did you make semis? No, I, I learned.
• 27:10
  She didn't know what to say. Look, he's got 3 reps left.
• 27:16
  He's like, we're I don't care. This is what a lot of people
• 27:20
  looked like though. Like those last dumbbells?
• 27:22
  Were you gonna? Try to save them.
• 27:23
  It was bad. No, you ain't got to make I
• 27:26
  that. I learned a big lesson doing
• 27:28
  this because when I watched John and I on the playback, I was
• 27:31
  like, if I had known I was ahead of John because there was times
• 27:34
  I was like 10 reps ahead of you, I would have just tried to
• 27:36
  extend the. Gap the whole time I.
• 27:41
  Hate. I hated this.
• 27:43
  I'm sorry, I'm sorry. No, it's all good.
• 27:45
  I understand. Hey, you know the saving graces?
• 27:48
  You can take the first one from the floor.
• 27:50
  Spin, spin, cut the cut the audio.
• 27:53
  I sit down right here and I go. That was pitiful.
• 27:59
  Oh man, but you? Tried your best and I'm proud
• 28:02
  of. You.
• 28:02
  I didn't. I didn't try my best.
• 28:04
  I wish I did. Like you tried your best, I
• 28:06
  don't think you could have gave anything.
• 28:12
  Else. Anyway, congratulations, Kyra.
• 28:14
  I'm sorry for making that. Yeah, yeah.
• 28:17
  That was great. Thank you.
• 28:18
  That was the highlight of my weekend right there.
• 28:21
  I'm not sure about that, but appreciate you playing along
• 28:24
  Kyra. Thank you. 3 weeks from now, go
• 28:27
  go to go to Cookeville, watch Kyra live or not and just watch
• 28:31
  the stream. And yeah.
• 28:33
  Either one, but cheer for me at least.
• 28:35
  One of the two probably do shows before and after.
• 28:40
  Yeah, something like that, yeah. Wait, you guys are not going to
• 28:41
  be there. Tyler and Spin will be I.
• 28:44
  I would not be. No, I don't think any of us will
• 28:46
  be. Oh, never mind.
• 28:47
  No. No, we'll just be doing.
• 28:48
  We'll just be doing shows, Sorry.
• 28:50
  We're going to cover the fire out of it though.
• 28:52
  That's. Exactly, I thought.
• 28:55
  You guys were going, What happened?
• 28:57
  We got crashed crescendo the next weekend ago OK.
• 28:59
  Yeah, we thought we're doing travel.
• 29:01
  Twice I'm about. To It's called preparation,
• 29:04
  Kyra. I have a child, yeah.
• 29:05
  Yeah, Yeah, OK. Sorry, responsibilities,
• 29:08
  understand? Exactly.
• 29:10
  Well, good luck and we'll see at the games though for sure, yes.
• 29:14
  For. Sure.
• 29:14
  Yes, Yes, ma'am. Thank you.
• 29:16
  Guys. Have a good.
• 29:17
  One time this weekend. Good job Tyra Milligan, the
• 29:23
  champion. CrossFit dude.
• 29:25
  I'm excited to see the evolution of her.
• 29:31
  I had no idea. Like, I don't think anybody had
• 29:34
  an idea that that was coming, but I'm so excited.
• 29:36
  For I didn't, but like I I wanted to see it.
• 29:40
  Maybe Kiefer knew. I want to see if that like if
• 29:43
  the the jump is real and like, like she, I mean how what she
• 29:47
  did in high rocks, like I, I want to believe it.
• 29:50
  That's why I'm excited to see it, you know?
• 29:53
  It is crazy like to just change your training up to like where
• 29:59
  you're doing more running and stuff because.
• 30:00
  It's like since October, it's been 5 months, like it had that
• 30:04
  kind of improvement that's. A huge evolution in that amount
• 30:07
  of time? Great.
• 30:08
  Whoever this Mark guy is, we need to seek him out.
• 30:12
  Yeah, who's Mark? Better.
• 30:14
  Than her running. I was looking in the comments
• 30:17
  like what are you talking? About yeah, is this show on
• 30:21
  Tuesdays? No, it's only this should be the
• 30:23
  last Tuesday. We do it for a long time.
• 30:26
  We may be earlier on one Wednesday in a couple weeks, but
• 30:30
  blame middle school track season here in Nashville.
• 30:33
  And yeah, look, James is going to teach Tyler how to squat at
• 30:40
  Syndicate. That's going to be exciting.
• 30:41
  James is going to syndicate. Yeah, he's going to.
• 30:44
  Go to syndicate. Awesome James.
• 30:48
  I don't think he can I. Didn't know what was coming.
• 30:51
  There, I know how to squat, it's just my ankles don't do a whole
• 30:55
  lot, especially when I'm tired. Apparently I don't know how to
• 30:58
  borrow my slab, so you're all right.
• 31:00
  Yeah, the comments were brutal. I clicked on every single one
• 31:05
  and they all have either of no videos or they're 55 years old
• 31:09
  and they've never seen parallel Scott in their squat in their
• 31:11
  life. Your your angle's really bad
• 31:15
  like. That's why I posted the
• 31:16
  Instagram thing but throw. The dumbbells 500 times.
• 31:22
  What a baby. Brian Cawley definitely did not
• 31:25
  do the workout. Hiller Fat Definitely a couple
• 31:29
  of no reps Leaf Razor's the nicest of everybody.
• 31:36
  Thanks Taylor W. Wonder if Hillary will No Rep
• 31:40
  you guys. John Muted.
• 31:42
  I haven't posted Andrew literally talking about my bar
• 31:45
  musclips. Does he talk about insane how
• 31:48
  idiotic people are? Holy, like ain't.
• 31:52
  I'm not. I'm not disagreeing with you
• 31:54
  guys. But the people who are talking
• 31:57
  Tyler like. Didn't make quarterfinals.
• 32:00
  Are just are just no didn't make the open like that's the point
• 32:06
  I. Hope one of those is our guy
• 32:08
  who's never done CrossFit. Yeah, it'd be great.
• 32:12
  I, I took a screenshot because I was like, after we put it out, I
• 32:16
  was like, I'm squatting to death.
• 32:18
  I asked both of my judges was I squatting to death?
• 32:21
  And they were like 100%. And then I take AI, take a
• 32:24
  screenshot of one of my reps both feet on the ground.
• 32:27
  This dude said I didn't squat to depth and I'm freaking rock
• 32:31
  bottom on every single. That's how I squat his rock
• 32:34
  bottom. I I.
• 32:37
  Have nowhere left. There's nowhere in my leg to go.
• 32:39
  Click on Dalton. Blank, blank click.
• 32:41
  Just click on him. Yeah, let's dock.
• 32:43
  Let's. Click on his profile.
• 32:45
  No, not not, not his comments. Just click on his profile.
• 32:48
  Let's just see what this guy's about.
• 32:50
  Oh sad song. Freaking freaking nothing.
• 32:55
  You should be ashamed of yourself. 2025 Tanner beat down.
• 32:59
  That's a cool playlist. And.
• 33:01
  Whoever. This this guy is shouldn't talk
• 33:03
  either. All he does is comment negative
• 33:05
  stuff. Who's that?
• 33:07
  Clock Cutter. Clock's fine.
• 33:11
  Yeah. So yeah, they were they they
• 33:13
  came after you. Thank you.
• 33:16
  Thank you for the hate. But I'm like, I'm like, guys,
• 33:19
  like we're literally like, Kyra said.
• 33:22
  We're not elite people, but we're we're, you know, we're all
• 33:26
  right and we're trying to show you all what all right looks
• 33:29
  like. I feel like there's not a big.
• 33:32
  All right, contingency. Well, what most people are, I
• 33:35
  would say what most good people are in the population, there's
• 33:39
  not a lot of videos out there with those people, right?
• 33:44
  There's a lot of I would say. Yeah.
• 33:46
  I mean, I think there's there are some out there, but they're
• 33:48
  not. You can't find them.
• 33:49
  You don't know who they are. Right, I'm going to need you to
• 33:52
  stop it. Definitely definitely just need
• 33:57
  to reason with her. Makes sense.
• 34:01
  Should we do some viewer comments like the real ones?
• 34:04
  Yes. That would be a good one.
• 34:06
  These are from last week. Yeah.
• 34:10
  So here we go. First one at Benita L Benetil
• 34:17
  165. Danielle Brandon got 4th at the
• 34:20
  last games and Roman got ninth. They should swap on the
• 34:24
  mountain, John. It's not about the games last
• 34:30
  year. I mean that does, I mean that is
• 34:32
  a probably the biggest attribute, but it's also just
• 34:38
  how fit you are in general and the women.
• 34:40
  For the women, I think there is 9 guys who are in the running to
• 34:44
  podium the Games and for the women I think there is a really
• 34:50
  one is then there a gap and then there's another and then there's
• 34:53
  a gap and then there's three people and the mountain
• 34:55
  represents that. Let me ask you this between
• 34:58
  Danielle and Roman, who's more likely to win the games?
• 35:04
  I to win the Games I would say Roman and to podium the Games I
• 35:08
  would say Danielle. Not this year.
• 35:11
  I would a year, any year in general, like to podium.
• 35:15
  Danielle my podium this year, Danielle my podium next year.
• 35:18
  Danielle's in the run for podium every single year.
• 35:21
  Has she done it yet? No, but she she is capable
• 35:24
  though. Roman, he just has to get lucky
• 35:28
  the way James got lucky, he's got to get lucky the way Jason
• 35:30
  got lucky and I and like that can happen.
• 35:33
  They're all what's. He going to get lucky with.
• 35:35
  Though that that can happen. What does he need to get lucky
• 35:38
  enough, though, to win? He would still win things like
• 35:41
  the alpaca, like his his, he's the best legless rope climber
• 35:45
  out of all the big guys. He's, you know, there's now
• 35:48
  there are two, three guys that can do machines the way he can,
• 35:51
  but he's still in the running. He's the best runner out of all
• 35:56
  of the big guys. Like there are things like Roman
• 36:00
  has crazy home runs. They just haven't shown up in
• 36:03
  two years. All right, we're gonna, we're
• 36:06
  gonna, we're gonna do, we're gonna ask me one more question
• 36:10
  and then I'm gonna put this, I'm going to put this a stop to
• 36:13
  this. We're going through that phase.
• 36:15
  Dude, why don't you? Yeah, go, go.
• 36:20
  Does that make sense? So there are home runs that
• 36:22
  Roman can do that just haven't shown up and or he's been hurt.
• 36:27
  I I still think Roman absolutely could win the games.
• 36:32
  Do I think he needs to be the fittest version of Roman we've
• 36:34
  ever seen? Yes.
• 36:35
  Do I think he needs to get lucky with the programming?
• 36:37
  Yes. But I still think the path is
• 36:41
  there. Danielle has gotten 4th twice in
• 36:46
  in in in games that were good for her, right?
• 36:50
  Like everything except the back squat.
• 36:52
  Tell me what was going to be bad.
• 36:55
  What separates Danielle and Roman is there's always going to
• 36:58
  be that heavy thing. There's always going to be that
• 37:02
  event that. She's got a new coach now.
• 37:07
  I've heard there. I've heard that before.
• 37:11
  Twice, actually. The So that makes winning
• 37:16
  really, really hard when you always have that event.
• 37:19
  Roman doesn't always have that event.
• 37:22
  That's the that's the only reason I say Roman's more likely
• 37:24
  to win, Danielle's way more likely to podium.
• 37:28
  Daniel's gotten 4th both time she's had a brand new coach at
• 37:30
  the games. And what happened the year
• 37:32
  after? We will not very good.
• 37:35
  So she's going to change coaches again in the next couple of
• 37:38
  months, right? Before the games.
• 37:39
  And then to win the games, it's a.
• 37:42
  Proven strategy. Job.
• 37:43
  You guys realize I have to drive an hour to take her there and
• 37:47
  then drive an hour to pick her up whenever I can, watch her for
• 37:50
  one hour and then put her to bed?
• 37:52
  Like, it's so much work to do that for an hour and a half
• 37:55
  show. And we wouldn't freaking be here
• 37:58
  if it wasn't for Spin's kid who can't stop running on Wednesday.
• 38:02
  It's actually Nashville's fault. It it really is.
• 38:06
  It was. It's 100% his fault for sure.
• 38:10
  Next question, next, next comment.
• 38:13
  That was a good one at Jason Jones.
• 38:16
  Spiegel's name should be Cheeks. It's not a very terrifying name,
• 38:22
  but you have to. There's there's a little bit of
• 38:24
  like mystique and domineering that needs to come from a name,
• 38:28
  and Cheeks just doesn't. Do it well, I mean, Jason's not
• 38:31
  that far off. We found out last week Miss
• 38:34
  Spiegel's gladiator name is going to be Crush.
• 38:38
  Crush. Crush So we did not pick that in
• 38:41
  blind rankings last week, but we were close.
• 38:45
  Crush just isn't enough. It needs to be like crush
• 38:49
  something or something Crush. What if in the intro she crushes
• 38:54
  a watermelon between her thighs? And then that's why she's called
• 38:58
  crush. But she probably can.
• 39:03
  I bet there's something. Like that?
• 39:04
  I bet there's something like that.
• 39:06
  What's what's it called? The only fans thing.
• 39:08
  That's not only fans. Pass, pass passes.
• 39:12
  I bet you there's a watermelon thigh crushing video on passes
• 39:15
  somewhere. There's only one way to find
• 39:18
  out, John. I'm not.
• 39:20
  You go. Ahead, I know.
• 39:23
  Next up at Faceless Projects. Spin is right about deterrence,
• 39:30
  but he's got it backwards. The punishment came after Ilsa
• 39:35
  confessed. People will make the connection
• 39:37
  and all this is going to deter is people admitting it.
• 39:43
  That I don't disagree. That's that's I'm not a bad
• 39:46
  take. I honestly.
• 39:49
  Did you watch? Did you watch Grant's video?
• 39:52
  Dude great video. You're talking about the second
• 39:55
  worst shooter in Crossbow. Yeah, yeah, the one that he
• 39:56
  published last night, the middle of the night.
• 39:58
  Yeah, you need to work on when you publish things, Grant, if
• 40:01
  you want people to watch it, but the.
• 40:03
  People should go watch Grant's video.
• 40:05
  It's called the second worst cheater at all of CrossFit and
• 40:08
  he basically just goes through the history of cheaters.
• 40:11
  The ones that Hill, the ones that Hiller called out basically
• 40:14
  last year, but a few of the. Earlier, but he's like every
• 40:16
  year there's a cheater, but like only once every four years
• 40:19
  there's a generational cheater and that was kale, right?
• 40:23
  So we're going to have to wait another four years before we get
• 40:25
  a generational cheater like that.
• 40:26
  So but second place after after the you know, the edit girl
• 40:31
  video and then he goes through just a couple guys that are that
• 40:36
  are there and then the one that he ends up landing on, I forget
• 40:39
  his name, but I think Cole something dude, every single
• 40:43
  workout he does is bad. Like it's it's so so bad.
• 40:47
  Like he does 170 reps in the 26.3 and he logs 270 or
• 40:52
  something. Why not?
• 40:55
  Hey, hey, hey, Kale, all you want.
• 40:58
  But my thing is he at least came out and like held to it.
• 41:02
  He was ride or die with that lie.
• 41:05
  That's why he's the number one of cheats.
• 41:09
  I know you got it. You got to respect number one of
• 41:11
  anything. Yeah, but he told everybody that
• 41:13
  he cheated with his fitness. No, John, he was, he had Rabdo
• 41:18
  and he had not been training for three weeks.
• 41:21
  I bet you Ilsa doesn't get last in every single event at Mayhem.
• 41:25
  What would have been great is if Ilsa came on Hiller's and he
• 41:28
  just showed her everywhere that she edited the video and her
• 41:31
  just be like, no, that's not that's not edited.
• 41:35
  That's not that's not me, dude. One thing I love the shadow, I
• 41:40
  love that Andrew does is he's he's very upfront without like
• 41:46
  like a gotcha feeling. He's not.
• 41:48
  Accusatory like. Like he's like, hey, Elsa, like
• 41:50
  this video is edited. What's up?
• 41:54
  But it's like even. Less than that, she.
• 41:56
  Goes, no, it's not. And I yeah, it is like, look,
• 41:59
  you can see by this line right here.
• 42:00
  Like that shouldn't be there. Like it's, it's so like.
• 42:05
  He needs to be a cop. Not coming after.
• 42:08
  It. Feels like there should be more
• 42:11
  like, right? But but like it's, it's, it's
• 42:14
  very interesting how we how we can do that.
• 42:17
  Yeah, why don't you? Why don't you see it?
• 42:22
  Let's see. Next up at Imperfect.
• 42:25
  Still worth it. Have never bought good grips
• 42:27
  before, but now the time has come.
• 42:30
  Frog grips it is. That's right.
• 42:32
  Code spin code 15%. Got people at my gym buying them
• 42:36
  man. That's how it should be.
• 42:38
  Do we have time for me for 5 minutes?
• 42:41
  Yeah. Are you going on a rant?
• 42:43
  No, I'm going to put her. I'm going to put her to bed.
• 42:45
  Yeah, we'll we'll just finish up the last two comments and we'll
• 42:48
  we'll we'll still some time. OK, Next up also from imperfect
• 42:54
  still worth it spins pronunciation sounds perfect in
• 42:59
  my Swiss German ears. I'm also content on.
• 43:03
  Gillian's. Johan's terms.
• 43:07
  Let's go, Mirham. Me nagging about the
• 43:09
  pronunciation is the best indicator on how often you have
• 43:12
  spoken about her. Really appreciate it.
• 43:14
  See. That's right, Mirham.
• 43:19
  Miriam. Mir no Mir.
• 43:21
  Mir Ham no, not Miriam. And last but not least at Kyle
• 43:28
  Greenlee. That's why.
• 43:30
  There you go, John. Will, Will Jy's chair be making
• 43:33
  an appearance in quarterfinals? Obviously, that's how you do it.
• 43:37
  That's how you move fast. You sit down and take a break
• 43:40
  and. John's like the water boy who's
• 43:43
  got that cup. He just anywhere he goes, he's
• 43:46
  got a chair. He can just.
• 43:48
  I'll tell you what, making that video or putting that together,
• 43:51
  I don't. I probably wasted an hour
• 43:54
  counting John's reps because I was so nervous that I miscounted
• 43:57
  you or wrong. Yeah, I was like, it's like I do
• 44:00
  it. I'm like 119.
• 44:01
  I swear. I did it properly.
• 44:04
  I was so excited to watch that video.
• 44:06
  And so then it was like, all right, I'm going to do this
• 44:08
  again. And I watched the whole thing
• 44:10
  and. 119 again. Get one.
• 44:12
  I'm like, did I miss it again? There's no come on.
• 44:17
  It's like, all right, no, I'll, I'll put it together.
• 44:19
  And I had to watch it again and make sure that, like, as he did
• 44:21
  a Rep, it ticked up. And I'm like, no, he got it.
• 44:25
  He didn't do it. And so then when I told you
• 44:27
  guys, he quickly realized that he had screwed up.
• 44:30
  That text these jawed you didn't do all your.
• 44:34
  Reps I was like jeez. I had nerfed some stuff to buy a
• 44:40
  tower like. It was, yeah, that's I had to
• 44:45
  put a Rep counter on there because I was like, there's,
• 44:47
  it's not, it's just you can't figure out where anybody is on
• 44:51
  that workout. And it was just impossible to
• 44:54
  follow. It was like, at least if you
• 44:56
  know how many reps you have at least an idea.
• 44:59
  Yeah, where they're going, it was good.
• 45:03
  Ed, I'll leave my mantis sleep mask on the bedside table and
• 45:06
  not and not think about spin. It's.
• 45:10
  And not think about us. Yeah, that's.
• 45:12
  Hey, still good sleep mask. Yeah, let's talk about depth.
• 45:19
  John squashed. No, I think he was.
• 45:23
  He was at parallel. He has a really bad angle.
• 45:27
  Like legitimately. Yeah.
• 45:31
  What? What did you think about all of
• 45:33
  the live streams before John? I didn't.
• 45:37
  I didn't watch them. The boys I watched.
• 45:46
  How do you feel about him? I'll tell you, yeah.
• 45:52
  It was too much of a vacuum. And So what I mean by that is it
• 45:57
  was cool to watch a little bit, but I think the difference, the
• 46:04
  way that I looked at it is like the difference between Taylor
• 46:06
  versus the world was Taylor was the underdog at that time.
• 46:12
  And it was like, can he beat these three guys who were just
• 46:15
  animals? And like, it was this.
• 46:18
  There's a story to it. When you watch Boys interrupted
• 46:21
  one, they've already got all their invites.
• 46:25
  They don't need this. Like there wasn't a story to it.
• 46:29
  There's no, there's no carrot. There's yeah.
• 46:31
  Right. And so we watch it and you're
• 46:33
  like, oh wow, somebody did this fast.
• 46:37
  But what? Right.
• 46:39
  We watch Colton do workouts. He ends up winning two of them,
• 46:43
  which is cool, but you have no idea.
• 46:44
  Did he win? I don't know.
• 46:46
  And so you just kind of went this whole weekend of they're
• 46:51
  just live streams going on like throughout the whole weekend.
• 46:56
  And you watch somebody and you're like, I guess it's good.
• 46:59
  They're good athletes. I'm sure they did well.
• 47:02
  Right. But who else do we not know
• 47:04
  about that had a better performance?
• 47:06
  And like, Jay showed us that, right?
• 47:08
  Like Jay's not putting out stuff and he comes in and just
• 47:10
  destroys everybody and all four of his workouts are top 16 in
• 47:14
  the world. And you have no idea what story
• 47:16
  happened behind those because I bet it's good.
• 47:19
  Or to have like, you know, to make the Hillary argument of
• 47:22
  like a post produced version of this.
• 47:24
  It was like 14-5 or something. And it was Frazier and Rich or
• 47:29
  maybe, yeah, it was, I think it was 14 five.
• 47:31
  And they were like they had post produced it to where you can see
• 47:34
  like they're trading text messages and they're trying to
• 47:36
  figure out who got what. And, you know, there was a story
• 47:39
  just behind that one workout. And yeah, there's nothing here.
• 47:45
  I kind of want to, you know, squabble about the quality of
• 47:49
  it. If I'm those guys like Jason
• 47:52
  sponsored by Tier Adidas for for Sprague, I kind of want to see
• 47:58
  something more high quality out of that.
• 48:00
  And I appreciate that. Like I was stoked that they did
• 48:03
  it. You know what I mean?
• 48:05
  Like they're at least putting in the effort to do it.
• 48:06
  But I I think the story would have been told better in a post
• 48:09
  produced fashion. And maybe you can still do that.
• 48:14
  It looks like there was HQ people there filming.
• 48:17
  Do you think so? Yeah, there.
• 48:18
  Are people everywhere I I think I saw somebody comment I
• 48:21
  disagree with him Kenneth the Lapp we actually had someone to
• 48:24
  root for with Taylor versus the world.
• 48:26
  I agree with that. Yeah, 5000 was on the line.
• 48:29
  I don't think that mattered at all.
• 48:30
  Like there didn't need to be money on it for people to care.
• 48:33
  But again, it was everybody was rooting for Taylor to take down
• 48:36
  those 3 guys and he did occasionally.
• 48:40
  Yeah. And so that was fun.
• 48:45
  I I also liked how Taylor versus the world was if it didn't make
• 48:50
  sense, they just did 2A heat of two and then followed by a heat
• 48:54
  of two. Yeah, so you could follow.
• 48:56
  Some so you could see and watch them and you had a time and then
• 48:58
  you had a time that you knew what to do versus all four of
• 49:01
  them. It's a lot of moving.
• 49:03
  Bodies. Yeah, it's hard to.
• 49:04
  I mean, they didn't have a a situation where you could fit
• 49:07
  and have a good camera to see all four of them.
• 49:09
  So like that kind of was was tricky.
• 49:12
  I know some people complain about the camera moving and
• 49:14
  things like that at the last second like.
• 49:17
  It was hard during the handstand push up workout.
• 49:19
  It was just like, you know, Jason got out of head so your
• 49:22
  eyes were on him, but like half the reps you really couldn't
• 49:24
  see. And so you were kind of just
• 49:26
  watching for feet. Be like, OK, I think that's a
• 49:28
  Rep, Rep Rep. But but yeah, I mean, like it's
• 49:32
  tough too because it's like you want Rep counters, you want to
• 49:34
  be able to see more. Which they did, they did on the
• 49:37
  event and workout too. They had the they had the little
• 49:40
  flags. So every 10 reps they didn't
• 49:41
  move it. So that was actually kind of
• 49:43
  cool because they saw and they because they had different Rep
• 49:46
  schemes. It was like Dallon had like 24
• 49:50
  to finish on the the hanging squat cleans and Justin had like
• 49:56
  3 rounds of two and four, right? And so like they were neck and
• 50:01
  neck, but it was like who could, you know, finish that?
• 50:03
  So like you could see they had the little flip cards.
• 50:05
  So that was pretty cool. What?
• 50:08
  Hold on real quick, yes Codespin does still work for community
• 50:11
  care. Please use it the links.
• 50:13
  Down there as as well. You can do.
• 50:17
  You can do that or you can use 4 letters and use code spin Either
• 50:20
  either one either 1 is fine. It's not, it's not their
• 50:24
  responsibility to put put it out to, to do what they have done.
• 50:29
  So like, kudos to them for sure is their incentive to like
• 50:34
  continue to do this and particularly make it better.
• 50:40
  And and it'd be and there'd be no story line behind it because
• 50:45
  like you only have to get top 2000 and then like maybe top 100
• 50:51
  if you want to make it into a in person semifinal, if you haven't
• 50:54
  already gotten an invite. It's like there's no there's
• 50:58
  nothing at at stake. No, I think a higher quality,
• 51:02
  you'll get more eyeballs on it, right?
• 51:05
  Like, I think more people will gravitate to it and I think it's
• 51:10
  just growing your own channel, right in your own, your own
• 51:14
  brand by doing it. John, did you watch the the
• 51:18
  streams over the weekend? Boys, the girls.
• 51:21
  The I not I, yes, I I didn't watch all of them, but there
• 51:25
  were there were a lot. So like whenever I'm scrolling
• 51:28
  on YouTube and I see one and yeah I watched did.
• 51:31
  You like it? I think what the boys did was
• 51:38
  cool 'cause you see them race and stuff, but it's there's
• 51:41
  just, you can't glean anything from it when the workouts are
• 51:45
  what they are. It feels, at least for me, I
• 51:49
  feel empty watching it because it doesn't mean anything.
• 51:54
  You know what I mean? When everybody finishes within
• 51:56
  10 seconds, then it's just who cheated the standards the most
• 52:00
  and that that's that's what it is.
• 52:02
  Though I mean, that's, that's a very good point.
• 52:04
  That's what it is. And and like then you just, you
• 52:08
  know, I, I think them choosing a different adventure for the
• 52:13
  second one, the boys and like they had Jr. right four
• 52:15
  different things and I thought that was cool.
• 52:18
  But like, if I'm being honest, like I can only watch Colton
• 52:21
  just Sprint as hard as he can for 4 minutes.
• 52:23
  So much right? Like, like.
• 52:25
  Without knowing what it what it means.
• 52:28
  Right, like, like, you know, and there if there's like a friendly
• 52:30
  friend, then I know like, yeah, this is the best in the world
• 52:33
  and nobody else can do this. But with these workouts,
• 52:37
  everybody else can do what Colton is doing.
• 52:40
  His range of motion is just shorter, therefore he's faster,
• 52:42
  right? And I, I know he didn't win, but
• 52:44
  like those scores that we see him versus the boys, right,
• 52:47
  'cause those were the ones, like as far as the men go, the women,
• 52:52
  like I, I feel similar to that. Like, you know, they don't when
• 52:56
  everybody can do everything. I don't get like a super like
• 53:03
  great reality enjoyment from it just just from a viewer
• 53:06
  standpoint. But I know I'm not the majority.
• 53:09
  I'm thinking best in the world. Like I want them to be
• 53:11
  challenged. I want there to be differences.
• 53:14
  I want all that stuff and not everybody feels that way.
• 53:19
  So a. Great sort of anecdote to think
• 53:25
  about this would be Jake Berman versus Colton or John versus 5
• 53:29
  Minutes. And it's like, I would love to
• 53:31
  know, you know, how many live viewers those had in comparison
• 53:37
  to like especially with you, John, like how many followers
• 53:41
  you have, you know what I mean? And it's like there was like.
• 53:45
  Yeah, We hit 1500 live viewers on Colton versus Berman, right
• 53:50
  on Burpees, which is a thing about what?
• 53:54
  Yeah. So Colton versus Jake was more
• 53:56
  exciting than anything that we saw on quarterfinals.
• 54:00
  And I mean very biasedly, but me trying to go sub 5 minutes was
• 54:05
  more exciting like than anything we saw from quarterfinals.
• 54:09
  For me at least the. No, that was hella exciting.
• 54:13
  Because you don't know what's going to happen.
• 54:15
  You don't know if they can do it.
• 54:17
  You don't. You see the breaking point in
• 54:20
  Jake, right? You see Colton, like it's not
• 54:24
  this that, oh, this is the fastest we're ever gonna see
• 54:26
  this in the world. It's no, this guy said he could
• 54:30
  beat him and and you know, you know what I mean?
• 54:33
  So like it's. The story again.
• 54:35
  Right, right. It's the story and they've
• 54:37
  they've killed everything that the story could be 'cause there
• 54:41
  there is no story. It doesn't matter.
• 54:44
  Like and I I think if you said semi finals can only take from
• 54:47
  quarterfinals, I'm even OK with the region lock at.
• 54:52
  This point I would say yes. I know that means we get
• 54:55
  diversity, and I don't like that because I want the fittest
• 54:58
  people to be there. Like, like, I don't care about
• 55:01
  the fittest person in Africa or Asia because they're so much
• 55:04
  worse than everybody that's not from there, right?
• 55:08
  Sung Young Choi aside the men, the Asian men, but.
• 55:13
  The Asian men can't ever get here either for visa issues or
• 55:16
  doping so. But like it gives it stories and
• 55:23
  and then it was. Back in the day, it was just
• 55:25
  nothing but story after story after story.
• 55:27
  And there would be an onus on the programmer to have a test
• 55:32
  that everybody can't just do as fast as they can.
• 55:34
  It's just who can shoot the standard the best, you know?
• 55:38
  Yeah, I mean, I think the, the, the regional piece for
• 55:42
  semifinals, I'm really curious to see what the team like, cuz I
• 55:46
  know Wilson's still inviting working through the list of
• 55:49
  teams that are being invited. I I curious to know.
• 55:52
  He's somebody I called. What?
• 55:56
  He said hard pass. Hard pass.
• 55:59
  Yeah, he goes. Well, we're gonna go by protocol
• 56:02
  and we're going to go in order. So I'm like, I don't I don't
• 56:06
  think he I dude, I don't think he knew.
• 56:08
  He knew like where I was or anything.
• 56:11
  He goes, but like there's a chance.
• 56:13
  How far? How far are you and I go?
• 56:15
  Oh, far, like real far. Like it's going to be a special
• 56:18
  invite type of a deal. If it happens and he goes, ah, I
• 56:22
  mean, then probably probably not.
• 56:23
  I'm like, that's cool. No, no worries, no worries, no
• 56:26
  worries. I just, you know, we shooting my
• 56:27
  shot you. Never know last minute
• 56:29
  withdrawal. I'm just, I'm just shooting my
• 56:31
  shot. I'm just really curious like
• 56:36
  will there be any teams that end up accepting from outside the
• 56:40
  United States hardly or North America maybe.
• 56:43
  And then you have, you have the individuals for Syndicate, which
• 56:48
  is really the only, I mean they're kind of the only one
• 56:51
  that's just like for the most part true qualification through
• 56:56
  quarterfinals. I know Norcal will have 15
• 56:59
  invites and I don't know what their process is going to be, if
• 57:01
  they're just going to work down a leaderboard or, or what.
• 57:06
  But does anybody come from a different region?
• 57:11
  Maybe Norway? Again, maybe one or two.
• 57:14
  Krieger. Maybe.
• 57:17
  Or like do any individuals or do they just stick to the French
• 57:21
  and Mad Fitness festival or do they want to make a trip to the
• 57:24
  States? Yeah, I mean, probably not.
• 57:28
  But if if Vincent accepts she's she's in Nashville right now.
• 57:33
  That's what I'm saying, right? Like if Lucy Mcgonigal decided
• 57:36
  to go like she's here in Nashville, right, right.
• 57:39
  It's just like Kyra going over to Dictorian.
• 57:42
  Well, because there's a huge like she's going over there with
• 57:44
  all the whole proven camp, right?
• 57:46
  So. What I think would make it the
• 57:49
  most exciting is if you just got your pick.
• 57:56
  Down the line. Yeah.
• 57:58
  So like Kyra Millingen, you get the first pick of semifinals.
• 58:01
  Which semifinal do you want to go to?
• 58:03
  And then we have like there could be a show literally called
• 58:08
  The Draft and it's a 2 hour. It's a one and done opportunity.
• 58:12
  Yeah, it's a 2 hour live show that everybody could see and if
• 58:16
  and it should be made aware to everybody, this is what we're
• 58:18
  doing. If you don't show up, I know
• 58:20
  some people got to be here at 3:00 AM in the morning, but if
• 58:23
  you don't show up to this, then you're then then you will be
• 58:26
  skipped. No, not auto draft.
• 58:28
  You'll just be skipped and then you're at the back of the line
• 58:32
  right And the meaning you have to show up to this.
• 58:37
  But imagine how many people would TuneIn to the draft and
• 58:41
  watch people and like you could even do like a a big zoom call
• 58:45
  and you could see the faces. Imagine all 300 faces.
• 58:48
  Yeah, if Danielle Brandon picks Cindy.
• 58:51
  Yeah, no, well, well, as soon as somebody clicks 1, they'd get
• 58:53
  off. But imagine like Danielle
• 58:55
  Brandon picks syndicate and then Emmel Austin 2 spots later says
• 58:58
  syndicate and like you just see Danielle's face like a like, you
• 59:03
  know what I mean? Like like dude, you don't think
• 59:06
  that would be awesome? How many people would watch
• 59:08
  that? And then it makes quarterfinals
• 59:10
  matter all of a sudden because where you are in quarterfinals,
• 59:14
  that's your pick. I.
• 59:15
  Don't want to be like #20 I could see who's ahead of me and
• 59:19
  go. Yeah, absolutely.
• 59:21
  But you. Number one, you can't.
• 59:23
  Measure out. You can't measure out 20.
• 59:25
  But like where where? That would be right?
• 59:28
  Like in your scores, but it would make quarterfinals be
• 59:34
  everything. You could do the you could do
• 59:36
  the sorority thing instead and just have to submit like your
• 59:39
  your top pick a top three and then if they match.
• 59:40
  Yeah, if you want it to be lame, you could do that.
• 59:42
  But I like the draft because it just makes everybody, everybody
• 59:45
  gets to see real time where everybody's going and you get to
• 59:48
  make your pick. And with the first pick, Kyra
• 59:52
  Milligan, and then Kyra Milligan goes Tori and or or Mayhem,
• 59:58
  right. And then and with the second
• 1:00:00
  pick. Danielle Brandon, The only way
• 1:00:02
  it would be. Cool because you the the problem
• 1:00:05
  is there's a load of athletes you'd have to move through, but
• 1:00:09
  the the only way it would make be cool is if you had like a
• 1:00:12
  panel of guys that were just talking about the implication.
• 1:00:15
  So, you know, Gabby McGowan chooses syndicate.
• 1:00:19
  Oh, God. Like, you know, here's the
• 1:00:20
  athletes she's going to have to compete with.
• 1:00:22
  You know who? How does this affect?
• 1:00:24
  I mean, you could do that. Sydney or whatever.
• 1:00:26
  No, like, I mean, you could take like you could go 15 minutes of
• 1:00:29
  the draft because it would, it would work a lot faster than the
• 1:00:32
  NFL draft, right? It'd be like 30 seconds, not 5
• 1:00:36
  minutes per pick. And then at the 15 minute mark,
• 1:00:41
  then you had a 15 minute intermission where you could see
• 1:00:44
  and then that panel like then we would talk about it right, of
• 1:00:47
  who's who. And then we do the next 15
• 1:00:49
  minutes and then the next 15 minutes.
• 1:00:51
  It's a 2 hour thing all together. 30 seconds to pick you
• 1:00:55
  get, 30 seconds you. Better be ready.
• 1:00:57
  Yeah. And like you think about it like
• 1:01:00
  once you see, like how many people are in be like do we go
• 1:01:02
  to nor Cal? Do we go to nor Cal?
• 1:01:03
  Do we go to nor Cal? Then James goes nor Cal down and
• 1:01:06
  goes nor Cal not nor Cal not nor Cal not nor Cal like, like you
• 1:01:10
  know what I mean? Like you have to real time
• 1:01:13
  figure out where you want to go. And I just think the excitement
• 1:01:17
  that that would bring would be enormous and it would make and
• 1:01:21
  dude, people would watch that that don't even care about the
• 1:01:24
  sport because you see emotions through that.
• 1:01:28
  You see real time thinking through that.
• 1:01:30
  And it's fun for people. Like Leslie watches the draft.
• 1:01:33
  She don't know what's going on, you know what I mean?
• 1:01:36
  It's fair. But she's like, why did they do
• 1:01:39
  that? I go and I could be like, they
• 1:01:40
  needed a running back. So they reached 3 rounds to get
• 1:01:43
  this running back. And then she's like, well, why
• 1:01:45
  did this team do that? Like I have no idea.
• 1:01:47
  That's why they're The Jets, right?
• 1:01:48
  And like, like, it's, you know what I mean?
• 1:01:53
  And like, think about it. We're 100 picks in the draft and
• 1:01:56
  nobody picks Norcal yet. Like.
• 1:02:00
  There's a way that. Would be true, No, but I'm
• 1:02:02
  saying or Far East, Far East, like somebody's going to pick
• 1:02:07
  Far East. You know, you're like you'll
• 1:02:09
  get. That's how you you sort.
• 1:02:12
  Of pick it after like every everyone that had like the two
• 1:02:14
  or three sots wild ones. Yes, yes, that's what you get
• 1:02:17
  easier. Path is going to be Far East or.
• 1:02:19
  Whatever and you can get people like Ty Jenkins.
• 1:02:24
  So do you think that so are you? So you're in favor of like you
• 1:02:29
  get 1 semi final and that's it. You can't compete at multiple.
• 1:02:32
  Well you have the online semi final as well.
• 1:02:34
  You get your, you get one live semi final and then the online
• 1:02:37
  semi final is to catch all and if you want to do a last chance
• 1:02:40
  qualifier you can. I do think there's something to
• 1:02:43
  be said about that one. Live 1.
• 1:02:49
  Live Semi final attempt. It just makes everything matter
• 1:02:52
  so much more and that's what regionals was.
• 1:02:56
  And I get regionals cost way too much money to do.
• 1:03:00
  Right, same thing. This.
• 1:03:01
  This wouldn't cost money to do and it would make everything
• 1:03:05
  matter. So many emotions would be in it
• 1:03:08
  and people wouldn't just have an easy ride to the games.
• 1:03:12
  Like this is how you could have a big name miss the games and
• 1:03:16
  they probably won't because they'll be caught in the online
• 1:03:18
  semi final but you will have big names that don't make it the
• 1:03:21
  first time through. Well, to what you were, you
• 1:03:24
  know, we were kind of talking about with quarterfinals and
• 1:03:26
  there being a storyline there is that with online semis because
• 1:03:31
  it's the last, it's the last one, right.
• 1:03:34
  And so it's like there is a story there.
• 1:03:36
  The problem is, is we don't know who it's going to be.
• 1:03:39
  The preparation like you won't. Just have and nobody's nobody's
• 1:03:41
  going to share that information too, right?
• 1:03:43
  That one goes that's. That's what I'm like.
• 1:03:45
  It's it's, it's the most, it makes it.
• 1:03:47
  You interact with everybody else and you're just picking where
• 1:03:51
  you want to go. But that's one where if I'm HQ,
• 1:03:54
  I'm doing what they did and, you know, and every second counts
• 1:03:57
  and I'm fine and, you know, 4 camera guys and I'm sending them
• 1:04:02
  to, you know, I'm coordinating with the athletes.
• 1:04:04
  I'm like, go, go shoot them going through this and then
• 1:04:07
  we'll post produce it. Yeah, like that.
• 1:04:09
  I want to see. Dude, absolutely.
• 1:04:11
  You could have like a team in Europe and be like in like in
• 1:04:15
  Europe if you want to come to the draft party where like just
• 1:04:18
  everybody's making their. You're talking about semifinals
• 1:04:21
  though, right Tyler? Yeah, let's talk about online
• 1:04:23
  symbols. All right, well, I mean they.
• 1:04:25
  Can talk about the draft. Though that would play, that
• 1:04:27
  would play well too, you know, good and well.
• 1:04:29
  If they did that, it'd be like the biggest thing ever.
• 1:04:31
  It would be. So good and well, if they'll
• 1:04:33
  never even. Why not ever?
• 1:04:35
  Why not? You.
• 1:04:37
  You invented. It there, they're still working
• 1:04:38
  on a leaderboard on the CrossFit Games website that's so archaic
• 1:04:41
  they can't do things on the fly. You don't think it would be
• 1:04:45
  awesome? I didn't say that, John.
• 1:04:48
  I said there's zero chance that even if it would be awesome and
• 1:04:51
  everybody wants it, that they could even do it.
• 1:04:54
  Well, that's dumb. Competition Corner is like light
• 1:04:57
  years ahead of what the CrossFit Games leaderboard is.
• 1:05:01
  Billions have them run the draft.
• 1:05:05
  Michael could do it. Would doubt it.
• 1:05:08
  You talked about the workouts and all the athletes being able
• 1:05:11
  to do it. Here's here's the difference.
• 1:05:13
  I I looked at 50th place of every workout and 150th place of
• 1:05:18
  every workout. Workout one men 618 to 632 a
• 1:05:25
  hundred spots, 14 seconds. The women 638 to 65517 second
• 1:05:31
  difference workout 2734 to eight O 5 for the men 729 to 821.
• 1:05:38
  So there's a little bit of a gap there on the the workout 2,
• 1:05:43
  right? You got 30 seconds and 29
• 1:05:45
  seconds in almost a minute workout three men, 417 to four,
• 1:05:50
  3215 seconds between 50th and 150th place, 436 to 455,
• 1:05:57
  nineteen seconds for the women. And on workout 4/10/15 to 1042,
• 1:06:04
  so 27 seconds and women eleven O 6 to 11:50 one 45 seconds.
• 1:06:09
  That one's a little bit further of a gap.
• 1:06:12
  Don't worry dude, they found the fittest.
• 1:06:13
  You have overhead squats at a lightweight.
• 1:06:17
  You have burpees over a bar where the chest doesn't touch.
• 1:06:21
  You have deadlifts where we've where Hitler already called out
• 1:06:25
  people aren't standing up. We saw it over the weekend.
• 1:06:27
  And you have hand strict handstand push ups where there's
• 1:06:31
  all kinds of room to not do those properly.
• 1:06:35
  You have three out of the four workouts separated by seconds
• 1:06:41
  where you know you're gonna have questionable reps.
• 1:06:43
  And we have no videos to show for it other than those who were
• 1:06:49
  basically caught, caught in the background of a Colton video.
• 1:06:53
  And Ivara gets, yeah, Chris gets run over.
• 1:06:56
  But how many of these people? Like there's no reason that Ty
• 1:07:02
  Jenkins should be 147th in the in the world.
• 1:07:07
  No, I mean some of those scores could.
• 1:07:10
  But I'd love to see what Ty's workouts look like versus those
• 1:07:14
  above him. Crisp.
• 1:07:17
  Right. Like my guess is that Ty's
• 1:07:20
  movement was better. Than at least.
• 1:07:24
  Than a good percentage of those ahead of him.
• 1:07:27
  Yeah. And they're so fast you have to
• 1:07:30
  move. You have to try to skirt a
• 1:07:33
  little. Right.
• 1:07:34
  Yeah. Like, and I think it's so great
• 1:07:38
  to have one event where people are like within 15 seconds of
• 1:07:42
  each other. Sure.
• 1:07:43
  It cannot be 75% of the competition.
• 1:07:47
  That's insane. Yeah, it it's again, I don't, I
• 1:07:52
  don't know. I, I people will be getting
• 1:07:54
  invites to syndicate. We don't know what their
• 1:07:57
  movement quality was. My guess is Norcal have the same
• 1:08:01
  thing. The French well is inviting 19
• 1:08:06
  men and women from the Europe region, so that'll go down
• 1:08:09
  fairly deep down the list. Like it's not.
• 1:08:16
  But they'll still find the fittest at those events.
• 1:08:20
  And that reason that that is dumb is because you're killing
• 1:08:26
  the quality of the test itself. If you know you have better, a
• 1:08:30
  better pool of athletes going the, the, the times and the reps
• 1:08:36
  of those athletes will be better at that competition versus like
• 1:08:40
  you're going to have some Yahoo show up at at syndicate that
• 1:08:44
  have no business being there that four other people could
• 1:08:47
  have been there that are better than them.
• 1:08:48
  So I went through and looked at like the North America invited
• 1:08:52
  look at. I just looked through the North
• 1:08:53
  America East and said outside of those who've already accepted
• 1:08:57
  because Ty got a special invite because he was top 20 at the
• 1:08:59
  games so he got Syndicate already, he's lucky because he
• 1:09:03
  would not have gotten it otherwise.
• 1:09:07
  I think when you get to that, those last like 3 or 4, they're
• 1:09:11
  definitely going to be in the ass heat.
• 1:09:13
  Let's not deny it. But I think they're all going to
• 1:09:15
  have the ability to do the do whatever Jr. programs for them.
• 1:09:19
  Like you're not going to get somebody like Kale who gets last
• 1:09:23
  every place. You can't do bar muscle UPS or
• 1:09:26
  you know, bike at a consistent pace, but I think the gap is
• 1:09:31
  going to be significant. And that's what I'm talking
• 1:09:34
  about. Like you would shorten those
• 1:09:36
  gaps. You could.
• 1:09:39
  For the for the pool as a whole, if you had a better test.
• 1:09:42
  Right. And I think when you get down to
• 1:09:43
  that level, the margin for error is so small, right?
• 1:09:49
  Because especially when you look at this, like the seconds
• 1:09:52
  difference is so different, like it's so close that like a few
• 1:09:56
  seconds could matter 100 points. Right.
• 1:10:00
  I think by catering to make workouts accessible for
• 1:10:04
  everybody, you incentivize poor movement at the top.
• 1:10:11
  And the only videos that people are going to watch are the
• 1:10:14
  people that do it at the top. And then they're thinking like
• 1:10:18
  this is how you deadlift. This is how look how fast
• 1:10:22
  they're going. And they're going that fast
• 1:10:25
  because if they don't, they won't have a top.
• 1:10:28
  It's. The only way to differentiate.
• 1:10:29
  Themselves, it's because there is no way to differentiate
• 1:10:31
  because the workouts just everybody can run through it,
• 1:10:34
  the whole thing unbroken and as fast as you can.
• 1:10:39
  Princess Sima asked a good question which I've actually
• 1:10:41
  been thinking about. Did we figure out if quarter
• 1:10:43
  registrations went towards the open pot?
• 1:10:47
  The rule book does not say so. The problem is that the rule
• 1:10:53
  book was the the the prize money was based off of last year when
• 1:10:57
  there are no quarterfinals, we now add quarterfinals.
• 1:11:01
  Is that 100% now to CrossFit or do they do we get get put an
• 1:11:06
  extra? I'd be willing to to make a
• 1:11:08
  guess here. They should put half in there.
• 1:11:13
  Half. Just like we'll have to the
• 1:11:15
  total price, that's how they do the open.
• 1:11:22
  I'm, I'm, I'm hoping somebody like Sima doesn't show up and
• 1:11:25
  point out the fact that I just pocketed a couple million or
• 1:11:29
  however much it is. A million million 1/2.
• 1:11:33
  That's the other thing to, you know, kind of moving on to the
• 1:11:36
  the change in methodology, the change of the philosophy.
• 1:11:40
  I posted on my story last night that the men I didn't analyze
• 1:11:43
  the women, but the men registrants overall.
• 1:11:50
  I guess I I didn't post this on my story, but the registrants
• 1:11:53
  overall for the men's division went down 32% / 2024.
• 1:11:59
  Now there's a lot more people though in 2024.
• 1:12:05
  A lot more. Yeah, there's 340,000 people in
• 1:12:10
  the open. Yeah.
• 1:12:12
  But you would assume top 25% or yeah, top 25% was top 25%?
• 1:12:19
  Yeah, but there's just, there's just more.
• 1:12:21
  There's just more people is all I'm saying.
• 1:12:23
  All of those people could have converted, and only about 34% of
• 1:12:27
  people converted over to. The yeah, of the of the total
• 1:12:30
  people, like 40, like what, 36 percent or something like that,
• 1:12:33
  36%. The thing is, if if CrossFit
• 1:12:38
  took half of the prize purse and dumped it in, we would have
• 1:12:43
  probably the largest cash prize to the winner of the CrossFit
• 1:12:47
  Games in history if you took quarterfinals, yeah.
• 1:12:55
  James, what do you think of my draft idea?
• 1:13:03
  100,000 more thousand more for the champion.
• 1:13:05
  Yeah, that, that would be, I think it'd be over 400,000 then.
• 1:13:10
  No, I think he's saying there were 100,000 more people in 2024
• 1:13:12
  than 2026. That's.
• 1:13:13
  What I think he's saying too. Is it?
• 1:13:16
  Oh, I think it's about the same amount.
• 1:13:17
  For the 100,000 more. Sign ups, yeah.
• 1:13:19
  Oh, we'll go with the cash too. Yeah, Cash, Cash, I mean, if you
• 1:13:22
  put the quarter finals in there, I think you do I think.
• 1:13:24
  You sounds about right. Math checks out.
• 1:13:27
  Math checks out. Well, no.
• 1:13:28
  If you had a million, if you had, if you had 20,000 people
• 1:13:32
  sign up for quarterfinals, I think it might be a little bit
• 1:13:35
  more than that. Times $50, that's a million.
• 1:13:38
  And I think the winner of the games gets 10,000 of that or 10%
• 1:13:42
  of that. It's a meaningful amount that
• 1:13:46
  would go to the champion, yeah. How did the rest of the workouts
• 1:13:53
  roll for? You row.
• 1:14:00
  I did 20 unbroken handstand push ups.
• 1:14:02
  I was like 1210 off the rower and then did 20 unbroken
• 1:14:06
  handstand push ups and then fell to pieces on the last 10.
• 1:14:09
  That's surprising. I did it after the bar muscle up
• 1:14:14
  workout and it just like. Oh, the same day.
• 1:14:17
  No, not same day, but the next day and I just my pressing
• 1:14:19
  wasn't wasn't there and let's see, deadlift I lollygagged.
• 1:14:28
  So I learned a big lesson here. I lollygagged the deadlift.
• 1:14:32
  I did 1 bar and I just like I think I've been giving 80 to 85%
• 1:14:39
  in training. And then I did.
• 1:14:41
  The first time I did the shuttle run I did like 946 and then the
• 1:14:48
  second time I did it I got eight O 8.
• 1:14:52
  Definitely Lolly Dag the first one.
• 1:14:54
  Yeah, And redoing the shuttle run, I was like, you've still
• 1:15:01
  got it. You're you're being a turd.
• 1:15:03
  Like you're just not trying. And so I've been thinking about
• 1:15:07
  like the last year of training and it's like, I train better
• 1:15:10
  with other people. I have to stop training alone.
• 1:15:14
  And you've self admitted that a couple times too.
• 1:15:16
  Yeah. And so it was, it was a good
• 1:15:19
  wake up call for me. That was a big like that was the
• 1:15:22
  light at the end of the tunnel for me for quarterfinals was
• 1:15:24
  like, hey, you don't suck as bad as you think.
• 1:15:26
  You you you have to try. That eight O 8.
• 1:15:29
  Yeah, that eight O 8 was like I needed that.
• 1:15:31
  Yeah, I almost think you just. Misses Misses Watkins over here
• 1:15:36
  taking shit from Tyler on the squat to unearth squat death,
• 1:15:39
  squat depth and man O man what goes around comes around.
• 1:15:47
  I thought the first workout was the most painful workout.
• 1:15:51
  That one is the. The shuttle run one, the shuttle
• 1:15:54
  run I, I was on the ground longer on than that, longer than
• 1:15:58
  any of the other workouts on that one.
• 1:16:02
  Because of the running. No, just.
• 1:16:04
  The the. Just the lactic build up, it
• 1:16:08
  just hurt the most. My heart rate was the highest.
• 1:16:11
  I don't think it it it was not the worst.
• 1:16:14
  For. Me it did not hurt that bad like
• 1:16:17
  I I had frank cough a little bit after but I felt absolutely
• 1:16:21
  terrible after the bar muscle up workout and I don't know if I
• 1:16:23
  just felt bad that day. I felt fine after that one.
• 1:16:26
  I was trashed the entire day after I did that workout.
• 1:16:31
  Like 2 hours later I was like I I was, I was fine.
• 1:16:35
  I was messed up. I I looked messed up the last
• 1:16:41
  two minutes. Dude, the first the first
• 1:16:43
  workout, though, I didn't do anything else that day like like
• 1:16:46
  I'm I flat out sent it on the first the first interval yeah, I
• 1:16:51
  was like 248 on the 1st interval and the second interval was a
• 1:16:56
  lot smaller, but it it it ended up being 747 right How?
• 1:17:00
  Did the deadlift workout go 47? I sent that one too and I didn't
• 1:17:08
  feel anything until the second set of the 275.
• 1:17:12
  I was right at 4 minutes when I got to the bar on the second set
• 1:17:16
  of 275 and yeah, that's. Crazy, that sucks.
• 1:17:22
  Tutor was done. Yeah, no, I mean, he's, he's,
• 1:17:26
  he's a lot faster at double unders than I am.
• 1:17:28
  But the the and everything else, the, I still did 10 unbroken.
• 1:17:34
  I probably should have went 64 because I definitely took like a
• 1:17:37
  22nd break before I did the 275 again.
• 1:17:41
  And then I did do my own barbell.
• 1:17:43
  So I might have been able to be a bit quicker if I didn't do my
• 1:17:46
  own barbell. But when I loaded the 10s on for
• 1:17:49
  3:15, I do 10s. Like I almost sat down on the
• 1:17:55
  weights. I'm not going to lie, I was
• 1:17:57
  like. They were calling my name.
• 1:17:59
  I don't. I don't me no feel good and and
• 1:18:05
  I was like it's only it's one more round and then and then I
• 1:18:08
  did the dubs and my I started feeling my back like I I got 2
• 1:18:14
  to 315 without feeling my back. I felt my back right before the
• 1:18:18
  3:15. And for the people that don't
• 1:18:20
  know why I'm not great with high Rep hinging workouts, doesn't
• 1:18:25
  matter. Doesn't matter what it is.
• 1:18:26
  My back blows up really badly and and I can't move.
• 1:18:31
  And that didn't happen until the 315 bar, which was fine because
• 1:18:35
  I could I could meddle through 10 reps So did those 10 reps was
• 1:18:40
  636. I was like, glad I'm not don't
• 1:18:42
  have to do that again. I think that was my worst score.
• 1:18:48
  That one and the bar muscle up on we're both about the same.
• 1:18:52
  Yeah. So that was the I, I was
• 1:18:54
  dreading that one the most, but the first one was more painful.
• 1:18:58
  I just knew The third one, the deadlift one, I wasn't going to
• 1:19:01
  be great, but I thought I'd be fine.
• 1:19:04
  Like Ty, when Tyler said I didn't feel anything until the
• 1:19:07
  last set of 275, I was like, I'm just going to send it because
• 1:19:10
  then whenever I feel something, I'll almost be, I'll almost be
• 1:19:13
  done. I got bailed out by the time
• 1:19:15
  domain enormously on that. If there were two rounds of the
• 1:19:20
  10:00 and 3:15, I think I would have been 3 minutes slower.
• 1:19:25
  I think it would have taken me 3 minutes to do background because
• 1:19:29
  we had blown up right at that bar.
• 1:19:32
  And then like, it would have been 10 singles for sure.
• 1:19:35
  And it's not because of strength.
• 1:19:36
  My back just blows up. And that was it that across all
• 1:19:40
  the tests, that's what I felt like didn't happen.
• 1:19:43
  There's usually a moment in the middle of workout where you like
• 1:19:45
  have to have this come to Jesus moment of like figure out how to
• 1:19:48
  get through this and that didn't happen through.
• 1:19:50
  Feel like it did for you? It did and not really like I
• 1:19:56
  knew I was going to finish it in the time cap.
• 1:19:58
  It was just like I was just. He came to Satan, man.
• 1:20:01
  He wasn't coming to Jesus. Yeah, I went.
• 1:20:03
  I went to One Direction. But like it wasn't like those
• 1:20:07
  are just like you just have to keep moving as opposed to like I
• 1:20:10
  have to figure out how to convince my body to do this
• 1:20:13
  thing. Like no it wasn't I.
• 1:20:16
  Don't. I'm not there with you, Tyler.
• 1:20:17
  I know you need to rewatch the last two minutes of your
• 1:20:21
  workout. That.
• 1:20:23
  I and think about how you felt on the.
• 1:20:25
  Internet, but it is I know I, I hear him.
• 1:20:27
  He he was in a place of like, I just don't care to be here.
• 1:20:31
  I it's not like a pain place. It's more like I'm, I'm done
• 1:20:35
  with it. Like that's what I feel like
• 1:20:37
  that on 26.3 4 minutes into the workout because I my body was.
• 1:20:42
  You had a little. I was very deprived of food,
• 1:20:45
  sleep and everything in between and like 4 minutes into work I'm
• 1:20:47
  like I don't care anymore like I it's.
• 1:20:49
  Good thing you did it, it's a good thing that you made it to
• 1:20:51
  the gym so you could actually make semi.
• 1:20:53
  Right. But I'm, I'm saying like your
• 1:20:54
  score suffers when you hit that moment.
• 1:20:56
  It's not a moment of pain. It's a moment of, I don't even
• 1:21:01
  know, heartlessness. I hate how I wonder if you guys
• 1:21:06
  are recognized with this at all. I hate how how I am motivated as
• 1:21:10
  a person. So on that, on the eight O 8
• 1:21:13
  redo going into that, I was going to the gym on Sunday.
• 1:21:16
  The first workout. The shuttle run, I was going
• 1:21:20
  into the gym, I was like, you're just going to move and you know,
• 1:21:23
  shake out some of the quarterfinal stuff and
• 1:21:26
  quarterfinals is over for you. I go in and there's a really big
• 1:21:29
  guy who goes to the gym and I watch him do, he's redoing the
• 1:21:32
  shuttle run workout and I'm watching him and I'm like, I can
• 1:21:35
  kind of hold those paces and he gets 8:20.
• 1:21:38
  And then in doing that I was like, I can beat him.
• 1:21:43
  And I was just like just go full sin the whole way, Tyler.
• 1:21:46
  Like I had to have a rabbit to chase.
• 1:21:49
  Like there was no amount of internal motivation I could
• 1:21:52
  have. And then I watch him do it and I
• 1:21:54
  was like, I got it. And then?
• 1:21:57
  So you you should have. Successful quarter finals.
• 1:22:00
  You should have redone workout too.
• 1:22:02
  Basically a minute and 40 seconds on one minute and 38
• 1:22:06
  seconds. I got better on that workout
• 1:22:08
  which is insane. Dude, you walked the shuttles.
• 1:22:11
  Basically, I walked the burpees, I walked everything.
• 1:22:15
  The 4th 1 I kind of had that in the 4th 1:00 but it was a
• 1:22:18
  failure instead of a success. The Do you know y'all know who
• 1:22:23
  Marissa Flowers is? Yeah.
• 1:22:25
  So I heard Jim. I'm going to her Jim.
• 1:22:27
  Now they're an affiliate. Like it's where where we're at
• 1:22:32
  now. And she was 1140 in that
• 1:22:37
  workout, OK. She did 30 handstand push ups
• 1:22:40
  unbroken, no problem. Probably could have done 50.
• 1:22:42
  But she's a little bitty thing. So like her row speed's not
• 1:22:46
  great. And I was like, hey, can you
• 1:22:50
  judge me for the 4th workout? And she goes, yeah.
• 1:22:52
  And I go, good, I want you to see me beat you.
• 1:22:56
  And dude, I rode and I told you guys, I told y'all on the chat I
• 1:23:00
  was 12 O 7 in like practice, right?
• 1:23:04
  And I did the 30 unbroken, but I rode really slow.
• 1:23:07
  And this time the first row I rode at A-150 pace.
• 1:23:10
  In the first row, my grace was 220, like pretty non-stop on it
• 1:23:15
  the whole time. 2nd row was like 210 two 15 did did did, did.
• 1:23:23
  Now listen, that's what I did the first time too.
• 1:23:25
  But the first row was only two minutes. 2nd row, dude, we're
• 1:23:28
  recovery city, dude, we're, we're, we're like, oh gosh, here
• 1:23:32
  we go. Like I treated it like 2
• 1:23:34
  workouts. The one, the first workout was
• 1:23:36
  1000m road 30 Queen of Jerks. Second workout was like breathe
• 1:23:41
  and then 30 Circantin push ups. And then I get off of this row.
• 1:23:45
  It's at it's, we're at 10:55 or 1011 minutes.
• 1:23:48
  We're right at 11 minutes. And if I go 30, I'm broken.
• 1:23:51
  I'm going to beat her. Her time was 1140.
• 1:23:54
  And I get I fly and at like 17 I'm like, I got it.
• 1:23:59
  And then I got to 26 and just hit a wall like like it insane.
• 1:24:06
  Like we're pumped 242526 and I was like, Oh no.
• 1:24:13
  And. Then.
• 1:24:14
  And then I was like, OK, OK, OK. And then I go for 27.
• 1:24:17
  I failed 27 and then did 2 singles and then a double at the
• 1:24:22
  end and it took me longer to do 4 handstand push ups and it took
• 1:24:25
  me to do 26 handstand push ups. Time ended up being 1157.
• 1:24:29
  She beat me by 17 seconds and and I was on pace to beat her
• 1:24:34
  and it was, it was, it was like I, I've been happy with my time,
• 1:24:37
  right? It's like it's successful
• 1:24:38
  workout. It's going to be a good score.
• 1:24:40
  But at the same time, I was like, gosh Dang, it like that
• 1:24:43
  was it because like nobody beats her at anything because she's
• 1:24:47
  she's the best, very, very fit, right?
• 1:24:49
  She's legitimately one of the fittest women in the world.
• 1:24:51
  And I was like, like I was, and it's a workout workout.
• 1:24:56
  It's not like just me bench pressing, right?
• 1:24:58
  Like, it's not like. It's a long It's the longest
• 1:25:00
  workout in the quarterfinal. It's a legitimate workout.
• 1:25:03
  It's not just something that I know I'm going to win just
• 1:25:06
  because I'm stronger, right? The so it was super devastating
• 1:25:11
  for that to happen, but it's OK. There was another guy there.
• 1:25:15
  His name is Wade. He's in the Masters.
• 1:25:17
  He did 28 handstand push ups unbroken.
• 1:25:20
  And then it took him 2 minutes to do 2 handstands.
• 1:25:25
  Perfect dude, I'm not kidding. Maybe, maybe it wasn't 2
• 1:25:29
  minutes, but it was at least a minute kid.
• 1:25:32
  He did 28, failed his 29th and it was so impressive because he,
• 1:25:36
  he's kind of a bigger guy, short but stout.
• 1:25:41
  He's a stout guy, right teapot, right short and stout.
• 1:25:46
  And like one of the guys there was like, he's pretty good at
• 1:25:50
  handstand push ups. And I was like, OK, like I'm,
• 1:25:52
  I'm figuring out the people that go there right now.
• 1:25:55
  And it was like he just bounced off the floor.
• 1:25:59
  I, I, I was mind boggled by it. He doesn't have short levers.
• 1:26:03
  It's not like a Colton thing. And dude, I thought he was going
• 1:26:08
  to do it. He was on pace for sub 12 and
• 1:26:11
  then he failed his 29th Rep and then he tried to kick up and
• 1:26:14
  then couldn't kick up. Like he kept coming off the
• 1:26:16
  wall. It took him six kick UPS to get
• 1:26:19
  just one handstand push up. And yeah, and it took him like a
• 1:26:23
  minute to do the next two. But.
• 1:26:26
  I want to go through the leaderboard real quick, ask you
• 1:26:28
  guys some questions, Saxon and Spencer.
• 1:26:34
  Crazy. Cool.
• 1:26:39
  You're skeptical, John. You don't think it matters?
• 1:26:41
  I don't think any of this matters.
• 1:26:43
  But these are not These aren't workouts for a Saxon and Spencer
• 1:26:47
  to be good at, are they? I mean, can you go unbroken?
• 1:26:55
  How isn't it? The the event 2 is the only
• 1:26:59
  workout that there's a lot of separation at, and that is a
• 1:27:02
  workout I think they would be good at, right?
• 1:27:06
  All the rest of the workouts, there's 10 seconds of separation
• 1:27:10
  for all of them. So the only workout with
• 1:27:14
  separation they're gonna be good at but but they.
• 1:27:17
  Ended up on the, but they ended up on the good side of the
• 1:27:20
  separation versus the bad side. Right, But I'm saying they're
• 1:27:23
  good at the work. The only workout that there is
• 1:27:25
  separation they are good at. And if you look at the top six,
• 1:27:28
  it kind of plays that. All that like Austin Hatfield in
• 1:27:30
  the Muscle Up workout, Jeffrey Adler, Jonah Koski.
• 1:27:33
  These guys are gonna be faster than the Dallin, James and
• 1:27:39
  Jason's of the world 'cause they're smaller, their reps are
• 1:27:42
  gonna be faster. And they're on the right side of
• 1:27:45
  that event too. And then all the rest of them.
• 1:27:48
  Let's see what let's see what event to let's see how much
• 1:27:50
  event to correlates to the top. The top I, I don't know.
• 1:27:54
  So I just want to see. Nicholas Birdsall crushed event
• 1:28:01
  too. OK.
• 1:28:02
  Let's get out of these people that don't aren't.
• 1:28:04
  Aren't Ricky, Nate Ackerman, Yonikoski, Dante.
• 1:28:09
  Yonhard Binkenberg. Scott, Saxon, Jay.
• 1:28:15
  I mean, it's it's fairly correlated.
• 1:28:17
  I don't know if it's more correlated.
• 1:28:19
  But I'm saying like, how many 10 to 20s do you see?
• 1:28:21
  And then how many top 10s do you see for Event 2?
• 1:28:25
  I know you obviously you're going to get the Colin
• 1:28:26
  Bossharts, but I'm saying the 10 to 20s, they're not in there.
• 1:28:35
  Yeah, I mean, there's there's definitely like some hundreds in
• 1:28:38
  in the deadlift workout and strict can stand push ups.
• 1:28:44
  Oops, whoa, that didn't work. And I'm not taking away from,
• 1:28:48
  I'm not taking away from Kyra, right?
• 1:28:50
  She won quarterfinals. I'm not taking away from Jay.
• 1:28:53
  Just none of this can be applied towards how you're going to do
• 1:29:00
  with the CrossFit Games. Do they make the CrossFit Games?
• 1:29:04
  Oh. Saxon, Saxon and Spencer.
• 1:29:08
  I think they can. I think they're capable.
• 1:29:10
  Online. Yeah, I mean, I think they can.
• 1:29:14
  I think they're capable. Like, I mean, I got to see the
• 1:29:19
  events at the semi finals that they're at, like they're capable
• 1:29:22
  of beating people that I would normally put ahead of them, but
• 1:29:26
  they'd have to get the right slate of events.
• 1:29:28
  Yeah. I think Spencer won three events
• 1:29:30
  at Syndicate. If he didn't just hose the other
• 1:29:32
  three, he would have been going instead of tie and Jack.
• 1:29:34
  That's. Fair.
• 1:29:35
  That's fair. Noah Olson, 7th place.
• 1:29:39
  Again, the bar muscle of workout he's going to be good at.
• 1:29:42
  There's no separation anywhere else, and you want to talk about
• 1:29:44
  skirting standards? He's the king.
• 1:29:46
  He's only 24th in that workout. I bet he was good at the
• 1:29:50
  deadlift workout. He was. 12th in the deadlift
• 1:29:53
  workout that was deadlift was the best one.
• 1:30:03
  I I you just can't take anything around spend.
• 1:30:05
  I don't I don't know what you. You don't think?
• 1:30:07
  You don't think you can take anything from the leaderboard?
• 1:30:09
  No. Tyler, do you think you agree?
• 1:30:16
  I understand John's sentiment. Do you think Hiko Otanga Curtis
• 1:30:21
  is fitter than James Sprague? For sure.
• 1:30:25
  The the limiter I need to figure.
• 1:30:30
  Out You think Guy Malharos is fitter than Justin Medeiros?
• 1:30:33
  Absolutely. Fabian Benito is fitter than
• 1:30:36
  Jason Hopper. Yeah.
• 1:30:40
  You no, you can't take anything from it.
• 1:30:42
  Second workout guy beat Justin by 13 seconds and got 37 or 33
• 1:30:51
  points which is more than enough.
• 1:30:52
  Just flip them. You're right, I'll take he at
• 1:30:55
  the game. He beat he beat Justin by 13
• 1:30:58
  seconds on Event 2 and is ahead of him on the leaderboard
• 1:31:01
  because of it. I ran this real quick.
• 1:31:03
  For the top 200 men in the quarterfinals, the most
• 1:31:09
  correlated event to their overall placement is event one
• 1:31:13
  at 62, or 62%. Just cause the test.
• 1:31:17
  Recovery. They're all fast and just go
• 1:31:23
  fast I guess. I guess, but does that correlate
• 1:31:27
  to your final? Like, does that correlate the
• 1:31:29
  game's finish? Probably not.
• 1:31:30
  No, no, I mean, but look at this.
• 1:31:32
  I mean, Gee, look at Gee and Justin. 612 versus 603-630-6736
• 1:31:40
  versus 749. Four Minutes 4, O3 10181020.
• 1:31:46
  Dang, 2 seconds is 9 spots. Yeah.
• 1:31:52
  Like I don't if I'm going to have any problem, obviously I
• 1:31:56
  think there needed to be more variation in the workouts.
• 1:31:58
  But like the problem I see is that all the workouts are within
• 1:32:04
  seconds for the top athletes, like a few seconds on an online
• 1:32:11
  competition where you're not racing anybody and you have
• 1:32:16
  movements that are where you're, you're historically going to see
• 1:32:21
  athletes not do the movements properly, right?
• 1:32:28
  Like that's that's the problem I have is that if you're able to
• 1:32:34
  skirt the movements properly outside of the top five, you're
• 1:32:40
  good. Yeah, I think it's not fair to
• 1:32:45
  say that like they're not. I think the most fairway to say
• 1:32:50
  it is they're not ranked properly.
• 1:32:51
  So what were they tested for? They I think this is just a test
• 1:32:55
  that you were amongst the fittest on Earth because you're
• 1:32:58
  you're going to like you're going to be in the top 200 or
• 1:33:01
  whatever, but it's it's not sorting you correctly.
• 1:33:05
  And is that? Right.
• 1:33:06
  But it but it matters for like a Ty Jenkins like Jack Carlo's
• 1:33:10
  152nd like was did did Jack not do something properly?
• 1:33:19
  Like if I go down and look at let's look at Jack's scores.
• 1:33:29
  Jack Farlow right here, 638 on event, 196th, 813 six, 100th on
• 1:33:39
  the deadlift workout and 10 O 220th on the strict handstand
• 1:33:43
  push up workout. I'd be hard pressed to say Jack
• 1:33:48
  Farlow's 152nd in the world. Yeah, I would agree.
• 1:33:53
  And I thought I saw somebody say that they thought that time
• 1:33:55
  might have been not feeling perfect or feeling, you know,
• 1:33:58
  feeling off a little bit. That could explain him 147th.
• 1:34:03
  But I feel like Jack is better than six hundredth on a deadlift
• 1:34:12
  workout. Like that's crazy.
• 1:34:20
  I. Could see it 600th is kind of
• 1:34:23
  crazy but it's 512 that's just insane.
• 1:34:28
  I just him him being bigger. I mean look 512 versus 441.
• 1:34:35
  Look at 5:05. I mean, 7 seconds is 80 spots 7
• 1:34:39
  seconds. That's the difference in looking
• 1:34:41
  down and looking up. At at at a minimum.
• 1:34:46
  Yeah. Yeah, 100% like I just.
• 1:34:52
  That's why like, that's why these don't matter.
• 1:34:55
  Spin. But is do you think that this
• 1:34:58
  this quarterfinals this year is going to change?
• 1:35:00
  What if if we keep semifinals the way they are next year that
• 1:35:05
  we see syndicate, we see others say I'm not even going to use
• 1:35:09
  quarterfinals to to pick my athletes.
• 1:35:11
  I'll just go do it online. I'll do my own separate online
• 1:35:13
  qualifier, do something else. I think you incentivize semi
• 1:35:17
  finals to do that, absolutely. Like Torian, the only way to
• 1:35:23
  qualify outside of I think there's like 2 special invites
• 1:35:26
  for Torian is you go to competition corner, sign up and
• 1:35:30
  register for Torian and you enter your quarterfinal scores
• 1:35:33
  in. Anybody can do it right now.
• 1:35:37
  Got it. So what are torian.com?
• 1:35:39
  What do we Well? No, you go to Competition Corner
• 1:35:41
  and search Torian and you register and you put your scores
• 1:35:45
  in from quarterfinals. So anybody can do that in the
• 1:35:47
  world right now. Got it.
• 1:35:49
  Like their whole field is going to be based off of these
• 1:35:52
  quarterfinals and you're looking at this where Jack couldn't make
• 1:35:55
  Torian right now. And like, I just don't think
• 1:36:02
  that's the, I mean, it's not accurate.
• 1:36:10
  I think it's a problem. But what I mean like do they
• 1:36:16
  care it's a problem? Well, see, I think what happened
• 1:36:19
  is that the season structure, the workouts were from a
• 1:36:23
  quarterfinal standpoint. Let's make it so everybody can
• 1:36:26
  do it and we only have to qualify the top 2000 into
• 1:36:30
  semifinals. They forgot that there are
• 1:36:32
  semifinal in person semifinals that are going to rely on the
• 1:36:35
  quarterfinals. So they didn't make the test to
• 1:36:38
  actually test that. Nick Fraigi said.
• 1:36:44
  That being said, the elites are some of the worst movement
• 1:36:46
  offenders in my opinion. My members move to standard
• 1:36:49
  better than the boys. That's because 7 seconds is 80
• 1:36:53
  spots like they are by the workouts being so accessible.
• 1:36:59
  They are making the top of the top be terrible movers because
• 1:37:04
  if you don't move poorly and you don't cheat the standards,
• 1:37:11
  you're going to be 6, 100th PL. Yeah.
• 1:37:14
  And that's. Just, and that's just a 225 LB
• 1:37:16
  deadlift. I can do 10 reps but I can't do
• 1:37:19
  them lightning fast, so I'm going to stand them up because
• 1:37:23
  they're hard. Just like a 365 LB deadlift is
• 1:37:29
  going to be the same for those guys.
• 1:37:31
  Right. Right.
• 1:37:32
  You got to stand them up. And so that's the difference is
• 1:37:36
  like if you gave me £95 deadlifts, I can move the same
• 1:37:39
  way that they have to. And I would say I need to move
• 1:37:43
  so fast that I got to now start shorting the reps so I can be
• 1:37:47
  competitive because I can't lose 7 seconds on an unknown
• 1:37:50
  leaderboard. On a 95 LB deadlift.
• 1:37:54
  Right. So I'm going to, I'm going to
• 1:37:55
  move sloppier because I have to get those 7 seconds I don't,
• 1:37:58
  right? And nobody's going to see me,
• 1:38:02
  right? You saw what The thing is like,
• 1:38:04
  You see what Tudor score was. You saw what Colton did all
• 1:38:07
  weekend. You saw what the boys did.
• 1:38:10
  You could easily take what those guys did and back off a few
• 1:38:14
  seconds and you're now, you know, 80th in the world.
• 1:38:19
  Yeah. And you can qualify for some of
• 1:38:22
  those those via the quarterfinals.
• 1:38:24
  Yeah. And you know you're not going to
• 1:38:26
  have a video reviewed for it. I actually think Nicole probably
• 1:38:31
  could have been top 20, but since we enforce the standards
• 1:38:35
  at JY Barbell, that is why she's only 86th place because we
• 1:38:41
  uphold to the movement. Before we move away from the
• 1:38:46
  men, Hobart gave me an idea. He's like, is anybody combined
• 1:38:50
  open and quarterfinals leaderboard to see who would be
• 1:38:52
  the best? I did that really quick.
• 1:38:57
  So Jeff Adler would have been first if you combine both of
• 1:39:00
  them, and Jay Crouch would be second.
• 1:39:02
  Colton Mertens in 3rd, Yanukowski in fourth.
• 1:39:09
  But it doesn't. I I was like, I did it and I was
• 1:39:12
  like, it doesn't mean anything. Right.
• 1:39:17
  Like it's just. More of a None of none of this
• 1:39:20
  means anything except for a handful of people who still need
• 1:39:22
  a qualifier, like to qualify for one of the handful of Court of
• 1:39:26
  semifinals that are going to use it right.
• 1:39:30
  Like Maddie Felts already has a She'd already qualified for
• 1:39:34
  Norcal, she got the invite to Mayhem.
• 1:39:37
  She her her season is set already.
• 1:39:38
  Like she didn't need an 11th place finish.
• 1:39:40
  She had to finish two thousandth.
• 1:39:46
  It does, you know, it doesn't matter.
• 1:39:48
  Question for you though, Andrea Solberg.
• 1:39:51
  She technically made the 2020 online CrossFit Games, but she's
• 1:39:54
  not been in person or Maddie Fouts.
• 1:39:56
  Which one qualifies for their first games?
• 1:40:00
  I mean, I've been on record already saying Maddie's Maddie
• 1:40:02
  Fouts is going to go to the CrossFit.
• 1:40:04
  Games this year? Hey, kid me, Elena Cartola is
• 1:40:07
  the fittest woman from the open. What?
• 1:40:12
  Oh God. But she's already been to the
• 1:40:14
  games, so it doesn't. That doesn't.
• 1:40:16
  Count. Yeah, he's just doing, you know.
• 1:40:17
  Would you rather? I'm referencing that podcast,
• 1:40:21
  whatever country it was. Yeah, it was like a.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker Oh, no, no, he's got he's yeah, that even No, that
• 1:40:26
  was a great pool that went over my head too, Tyler.
• 1:40:29
  No, nobody would have remember that.
• 1:40:30
  Was no one got that was for that was for like 5 people.
• 1:40:33
  That was really good. Yeah.
• 1:40:35
  For those who don't know, some some podcast said that she was
• 1:40:38
  she won the Open. She was a champion.
• 1:40:40
  In Spain, and that has. Has home run ability that I hope
• 1:40:46
  shows up in some of these semi finals that I don't think
• 1:40:49
  everybody knows about her but I'm excited for her to start
• 1:40:54
  showing it off. How about FISA Goffy versus she?
• 1:40:58
  She could not press above her head a few months ago and now
• 1:41:02
  she said she wasn't in the court.
• 1:41:03
  Now she's literally 16th and quarterfinals.
• 1:41:08
  She could. She could qualify to Mayhem.
• 1:41:10
  She can obviously do the online semifinals.
• 1:41:13
  Fee, you're doing this all wrong.
• 1:41:14
  See when I don't care about something I get 946 in a workout
• 1:41:17
  and when I care I get eight O 8. You're not caring and for.
• 1:41:21
  Some reason you're. Kind of crazy.
• 1:41:24
  And if you send that to her, she'd be like, isn't it awesome?
• 1:41:27
  I, I, I just like, have this like smile on her face the whole
• 1:41:31
  time. Afro Deity, 83rd and
• 1:41:36
  quarterfinals. Is she still on the mountain,
• 1:41:38
  John? Yeah, I just probably took her
• 1:41:42
  off. No, she beat Miss Hunches by
• 1:41:46
  three. Spots.
• 1:41:47
  I honestly feel like I got to trade her for Kyra.
• 1:41:52
  Kyra on the mountain, OK, ahead of ahead of Mcgonagall.
• 1:41:58
  I did. Mcgonagall beat her.
• 1:42:01
  Not in quarterfinals, but she was at the Games.
• 1:42:06
  Let's see, Rose Scott, if you've been following, she's back.
• 1:42:10
  She's back. Yeah, we could possibly see her
• 1:42:12
  at the Syndicate. Never know.
• 1:42:14
  Hopefully there's no jerks. Maybe Haley Adams 148th that is
• 1:42:22
  that a is that a warning sign, John, is that you make that?
• 1:42:24
  Are you? I think that if there's a high
• 1:42:28
  double under workout in whatever city final she goes to, it's not
• 1:42:33
  great, but other than that she's fine.
• 1:42:35
  She's fine. OK Taylor Williamson 156 She's
• 1:42:41
  running like she said, she runs over 100 miles a week.
• 1:42:43
  She's done like 3 weekends in a row of 100 mile races or like
• 1:42:47
  100 mile things and then. Just chilling 156.
• 1:42:52
  Or 24, I'm sorry, it was 24 hour races and then I don't want to
• 1:42:57
  go all the way down the leaderboard, but Catherine
• 1:42:58
  David's daughter 271st in quarterfinals, she did the
• 1:43:03
  quarterfinal workouts that's. Pretty damn good for somebody
• 1:43:06
  who just had a baby. How old and how many children do
• 1:43:10
  you have to have for her to be less fit than I am?
• 1:43:16
  The the limit does not. Exist.
• 1:43:18
  I'm going to say four children and and 395252.
• 1:43:28
  She's going to keep her aerobic. Ability.
• 1:43:31
  For for a long time. So like, like it's I got to
• 1:43:34
  stave off that. So I'll say 52 years old.
• 1:43:40
  Yeah, we're running. We have, we have 14 minutes.
• 1:43:41
  We got to get going. That's quarterfinals.
• 1:43:45
  Invites to syndicate will be going out here soon, I'm pretty
• 1:43:47
  sure. Well, you know, my invite,
• 1:43:49
  Wilson, Just, you know, if we ever want to do charity, you
• 1:43:53
  know. Wilson's too busy with Xenon
• 1:43:55
  right now, so he's not going to invite you.
• 1:43:58
  He was very respectful in telling me no.
• 1:44:02
  I'm not surprised me either. All right, we're time for some
• 1:44:06
  blind rankings not brought to you by Amanda sleep mask, but
• 1:44:10
  they still are the best sleep masks out there get.
• 1:44:12
  Us a tape and cover this up. Yeah, this week.
• 1:44:16
  Get a piece of tape and put JY barbell on it.
• 1:44:21
  This one blind ranking topic quarterfinals, musts which which
• 1:44:28
  movements OK must a quarterfinal include to be actually a good
• 1:44:34
  quarterfinal? Let's do it.
• 1:44:36
  All right. First one, John.
• 1:44:41
  OK, Danielle, Brandon. Back squat.
• 1:44:46
  In a good way. Overhead handstand walk.
• 1:44:50
  Yep, Yep, Yep. I mean I handstand.
• 1:44:52
  Walk. I think this is high dude.
• 1:44:55
  It's weird. Not the highest but we should
• 1:44:57
  have hard skills and this is up there.
• 1:45:00
  Not not as like the hardest skill, but as far as needing to
• 1:45:03
  be tested, I think it should be tested.
• 1:45:05
  I'm at the point where I think handstand walks are overplayed.
• 1:45:10
  3. 3. OK, we'll let that be our our
• 1:45:14
  mind. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:45:17
  This when I put this together I had a question.
• 1:45:19
  What level of athlete as a percentile should be able to do
• 1:45:24
  a handstand walk in the in the University of CrossFit?
• 1:45:27
  Like the universe of CrossFit, should the top 25% be able to do
• 1:45:31
  it? Yes.
• 1:45:34
  Like 5 feet. Yeah, yeah, individuals.
• 1:45:39
  Masters is a different story. I'm about to offend a lot of
• 1:45:42
  people but for top 25% it's not a hard skill especially if
• 1:45:47
  you're only going like 5 or 10 feet.
• 1:45:49
  Tyler's got a little bit of elitist elitism going on right
• 1:45:53
  now, but it's OK dude. Grant made the top 25%.
• 1:45:58
  Grant Could ASM walk? Great.
• 1:46:00
  I think there's more workouts than everybody combined.
• 1:46:04
  I would say top top 15. Top 15% should be able to do
• 1:46:10
  handset. Walks, yeah.
• 1:46:10
  If you're top 15 percentile, there should not be a movement
• 1:46:14
  that you can't do. It's OK.
• 1:46:15
  I would argue, I would if, if it's true that's top 15% should
• 1:46:18
  be able to be proficient enhancing walking.
• 1:46:21
  I think they should be in the quarterfinals.
• 1:46:23
  I agree. Do you agree, Tyler?
• 1:46:27
  Yep, given that my number is 25%.
• 1:46:32
  Tyler agrees the most. Yeah, Tyler's like absolutely.
• 1:46:36
  Next up. Oh, OK, Colton.
• 1:46:44
  Burpees. Austin Hatfield.
• 1:46:48
  Rope climbs. What are they the best?
• 1:46:51
  I'm going good. I'm not going negative.
• 1:46:53
  It's always going to be good. It's always going to be good,
• 1:46:55
  OK. Cleans.
• 1:47:01
  Kale. Next.
• 1:47:05
  Matt Fraser. I'm still at cleans rich froning
• 1:47:10
  thrusters. Yeah, Yeah.
• 1:47:12
  OK. That's a hard one because it's
• 1:47:15
  kind of a common thing. I do think this should be tested
• 1:47:19
  in the open. I don't think this is a must for
• 1:47:22
  quarterfinals like because we're test, we will have tested it in
• 1:47:26
  the open. Should they always be in the
• 1:47:28
  open though, instead of quarterfinals?
• 1:47:30
  If they're in quarterfinals, they should be heavy, so.
• 1:47:34
  That's what I mean. We never I mean.
• 1:47:36
  But you can also do heavy cleaning jerks and heavy
• 1:47:38
  snatches like I and heavy front squats.
• 1:47:40
  So so like, I just think it's not a must.
• 1:47:43
  They can be, but it's not a must.
• 1:47:45
  Actually, no, John, you're you're pushing into something
• 1:47:47
  real good because as you get away from the open, I want to
• 1:47:50
  see like less like the thruster is just a CrossFit movement,
• 1:47:55
  right? It's like you don't see it
• 1:47:57
  anywhere else except for CrossFit.
• 1:47:59
  Some of those other movements like I want to see a little bit
• 1:48:01
  more broad. Yeah.
• 1:48:02
  Like toast bar and chest bar, you know how many times those
• 1:48:05
  have been quarterfinals? Once.
• 1:48:08
  There you go. So I'm going to say. 55 I I
• 1:48:14
  agree. Unless they're heavy and then
• 1:48:18
  it's yeah, OK. But I just, I just think that if
• 1:48:22
  we if we continue to put in thrusters at in the open, you're
• 1:48:25
  never going to get, it's going to be the same kind of thruster
• 1:48:30
  every single. I hear you.
• 1:48:32
  I know, I hear you. You know, and they can, they can
• 1:48:34
  be in the quarterfinals, but it's not a must because if they
• 1:48:39
  are in quarterfinals then they should be on the heavier side.
• 1:48:42
  If there's no video in quarterfinals.
• 1:48:44
  I don't want the resters. Yeah, I don't want them there.
• 1:48:46
  I agree with that. OK, Next up.
• 1:48:54
  Jason Hopper. Bike.
• 1:49:00
  No Cole Sager throw back for you.
• 1:49:08
  China Cho, Pat Barber for three and only three.
• 1:49:15
  Is it rope climbs? Yes.
• 1:49:17
  Good job, Tyler, Good job. China is the one to get That was
• 1:49:20
  a giveaway for. Me, I, I mean, I was mowing
• 1:49:22
  through them, man. It's not like those guys.
• 1:49:25
  Two, I would say 2 rope climbs are very important and that's
• 1:49:29
  something you're not going to program in the open.
• 1:49:31
  It should be tested in quarterfinals.
• 1:49:34
  The reason I made semi finals because rope climbs weren't in
• 1:49:37
  it. Flashback 2022 quarterfinals I
• 1:49:42
  think I had to drive to I had to drive an hour to go to a gym
• 1:49:47
  that had ropes tall enough for us to be able.
• 1:49:50
  To do the rope climb. Events.
• 1:49:54
  I also don't feel like I feel like you could easily test it at
• 1:49:57
  semifinals. Dude, I don't want to budget on
• 1:49:59
  this. I'm going to say 2.
• 1:50:01
  I'm not going. To but I don't.
• 1:50:02
  I'm not going to 4. Yeah, we have 4:00 left.
• 1:50:05
  We have 1:00 and 4:00. Nice one and four, all right.
• 1:50:10
  What percentage of CrossFit athletes should be able to do
• 1:50:14
  rope climbs? Ah.
• 1:50:15
  Rope climbs 5050% yeah, I have a 74 year old woman who can climb
• 1:50:20
  all the way up a rope and she can and she's regular 74 year
• 1:50:26
  old like it's not yeah, yeah, it's she's not going to the
• 1:50:31
  games. I'll put it on legs.
• 1:50:33
  Yeah. It's not.
• 1:50:34
  It's not a hard movement. It's just a technique thing.
• 1:50:36
  Yeah, it's Yep. Do you want to sit there and
• 1:50:38
  figure it out? Like it's not?
• 1:50:40
  If you don't know how to do it, it's because you haven't tried
• 1:50:43
  or or you're not disciplined enough to sit there and figure
• 1:50:46
  out the technique. We are taking a bunch of police
• 1:50:48
  cadets who had never climbed a rope through our program and had
• 1:50:51
  them doing rope climbs in 10 minutes.
• 1:50:56
  It's only 50%, then it's so easy.
• 1:50:58
  I think it would be even lower than 50%, but.
• 1:51:00
  Yeah, I mean, I'm, I'm yeah, yeah, I like, OK, what are we?
• 1:51:03
  But what are we talking about? Just people who do CrossFit or
• 1:51:05
  sign up for the open. The open, I think, yeah, I'm,
• 1:51:11
  I'm going to say 60% should at least be able to do 1.
• 1:51:15
  Yeah. OK, all right, one or four is
• 1:51:21
  left. OK, we're we're we're sitting
• 1:51:25
  pretty because this one has a direct spot me.
• 1:51:33
  Cleans. Bench press, More specific.
• 1:51:37
  More specific. Broad.
• 1:51:40
  More broad. Sorry, sorry.
• 1:51:41
  Yeah, Broad, Broad. OK.
• 1:51:43
  But yeah, put it together clean. Strength.
• 1:51:49
  In what capacity? In what capacity?
• 1:51:52
  Heavy. What?
• 1:51:54
  Yes, but what heavy? Cleans.
• 1:51:58
  What do we call that? Olympic.
• 1:52:03
  How many reps? 3.
• 1:52:10
  Not lower. One Rep Max.
• 1:52:12
  There you go. Thank.
• 1:52:13
  You. Thank you.
• 1:52:15
  It's like I don't know how many you want.
• 1:52:22
  I would say 4. One No.
• 1:52:29
  Dude 'cause it doesn't. It is very important to test
• 1:52:33
  strength for. I think a Max lifts use the
• 1:52:36
  leaderboard almost more than anything else.
• 1:52:40
  So I don't think Max lift should be programmed for quarterfinals,
• 1:52:45
  but you absolutely should have an ascending ladder of some
• 1:52:50
  sorts, like like in a workout within a a gated workout, you're
• 1:52:53
  saying? 4.
• 1:52:54
  Heavier, heavier lifts, sure. One Rep Max is no.
• 1:52:57
  So four, yeah. Yeah.
• 1:52:59
  What? What if it was?
• 1:53:00
  Just heavy lifts. I almost think one of the things
• 1:53:04
  you've given us so far, absolutely.
• 1:53:07
  But would it change if instead of four it was 5 workouts and
• 1:53:11
  one of them was a three Rep Max something or some type of Max
• 1:53:16
  like as a part A or Part B? Yeah, I still think it skews the
• 1:53:19
  leaderboard more than everything.
• 1:53:20
  Anything else I'm not against it.
• 1:53:22
  It wouldn't make the test bad. It just it does skew the
• 1:53:27
  leaderboard, but there were three of the four workouts
• 1:53:30
  skewed the leaderboard time domain wise.
• 1:53:32
  Yeah, but this would unskew it. Right, absolutely.
• 1:53:34
  So like for this leaderboard, it would like it would be fine, but
• 1:53:38
  I I don't think it would make the test bad.
• 1:53:40
  I just I don't think it's a must, right?
• 1:53:43
  We're talking about must like if it's in like if a thrusters in
• 1:53:46
  the quarterfinals, I'm cool with it.
• 1:53:49
  I just don't think it we have to have it right.
• 1:53:52
  If a Max lift is in quarterfinals, I'm cool with it.
• 1:53:54
  I don't think we have to have it.
• 1:53:56
  That's all I'm saying. Now like a like the, the complex
• 1:54:00
  that we did, the deadlift clean front squat jerk complex that we
• 1:54:05
  did or maybe it was something like that that was good.
• 1:54:09
  Like I think we should see something like that in the
• 1:54:12
  quarterfinals. Like a lift after a workout, the
• 1:54:16
  time you have left is the time you have the lift you.
• 1:54:18
  Think you do it. You do it before too if you
• 1:54:20
  want. Or yeah, you could do it before.
• 1:54:21
  Because now you're you see all the workouts ahead of time.
• 1:54:24
  But like one Rep Max is so like you're just going to get like, I
• 1:54:28
  don't think you've earned it yet, but it's like you do a
• 1:54:31
  complex or A5 Rep Max or something like that.
• 1:54:33
  Like you've really had to train to to be good at that.
• 1:54:37
  You know, anybody can get away with having like a good single,
• 1:54:41
  but like to be able to do something for five is a totally
• 1:54:44
  different story. Yeah, I mean if.
• 1:54:47
  You do like some Max idea but after a workout.
• 1:54:54
  Like if a workout takes 7 minutes, you have 8 minutes to
• 1:54:57
  build to a heavy. Yeah.
• 1:54:59
  If we're going to do a Max, that would be my favorite kind.
• 1:55:03
  But honestly, when quarterfinals like tested everything, like
• 1:55:06
  when it was good, I mean I was fine with the Max.
• 1:55:10
  I still think it's skews the leaderboard, but just a Max, you
• 1:55:13
  know what I mean? Not like in a workout and
• 1:55:14
  everything. I think the best way to apply it
• 1:55:17
  is just if you're going to do a Max to be time remaining in the
• 1:55:21
  workout. Spin.
• 1:55:23
  How would you program one before?
• 1:55:26
  Where it where it like interfered with the workout
• 1:55:28
  after? I you don't think you can, I
• 1:55:30
  think it's just saying an event to itself.
• 1:55:32
  Well, no, I'm saying you could do it.
• 1:55:33
  You could do it like the you have 5 minutes to establish A1
• 1:55:36
  Rep Max front squat and then you do event one is 1B.
• 1:55:43
  So the idea is that like you could get a good lift, but maybe
• 1:55:47
  you shit the bet on the Metcon, the Metcon, you're like, I got
• 1:55:51
  to do this again and maybe you don't hit that same number the
• 1:55:55
  second, you know, the the second attempt.
• 1:55:57
  I know I think there's more risk to doing the workout that way
• 1:56:00
  because then you're like, should I pace the workout so I can lift
• 1:56:03
  higher or do I just send the work?
• 1:56:06
  Out with what I can either way. I mean I think you can mix it up
• 1:56:10
  and and let it happen different ways right?
• 1:56:13
  Like. Right, I think you.
• 1:56:15
  Put it up front you, you give the the strength guys the
• 1:56:18
  benefit and then you put it the other way, it gives the the non
• 1:56:21
  strength guys some some benefit. From a from a sign ups
• 1:56:25
  perspective, like it just sweetens the pot because people
• 1:56:27
  just really like to show out and do that.
• 1:56:29
  Stuff, If you had a Max, more people would sign up absolutely,
• 1:56:32
  like just for the Max and they would just log that score, not
• 1:56:35
  anything else. They would pay $50.
• 1:56:38
  To do 1. Score to do 1 Max to say this is
• 1:56:40
  where I'm at on the leaderboard. A lot of people would do that.
• 1:56:43
  Yeah, I wouldn't mind. I saw a comment, I think it was
• 1:56:48
  Nick, Nick's comment, like if 15.1 A&B with the 9 minute AMRAP
• 1:56:55
  of toes to bar snatches and deadlifts.
• 1:56:58
  The if you take the combined score of the weight lifted and
• 1:57:02
  your reps done and then that's your score.
• 1:57:04
  I even I think that's cool, but you need a workout like that one
• 1:57:09
  where the top scores would be in the three hundreds, but they
• 1:57:13
  were getting like 328 reps or something like that and then
• 1:57:16
  their Max was 347. So like it kind of.
• 1:57:19
  Balances. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:57:21
  As far as a score goes, and I just think that's a cool way of
• 1:57:24
  doing it. I because it hasn't been done
• 1:57:27
  before. Your score is just your combined
• 1:57:31
  stuff. Well, Rogue did it.
• 1:57:34
  What was it? The the Max Rep back squat, body
• 1:57:37
  Max body weight back, back squat and then the jump.
• 1:57:42
  I hear you, but that's not. You could do something, you
• 1:57:43
  could do something like that last one the the the
• 1:57:48
  quarterfinals must. Did you get it right?
• 1:57:51
  We'll see. I don't think we got it right,
• 1:57:54
  but all right. Who is the best at this?
• 1:57:58
  OK, It's just going to be tough for you.
• 1:58:02
  I'm going to name a couple names.
• 1:58:04
  Rich, Matt, Tommy Hackenbrook. Overhead squat.
• 1:58:11
  Bam Tyler had a baby. Nice.
• 1:58:15
  Tommy's only got one thing that I can remember.
• 1:58:18
  And that's all that matters. Yeah, overhead squats.
• 1:58:24
  From a. Movement standpoint.
• 1:58:25
  I don't hate it, but I don't think it's.
• 1:58:28
  I like the overhead squat, but it's not mandatory.
• 1:58:31
  I think I would put it 3. Man, this is a hard list.
• 1:58:35
  Yeah, you didn't give I. We're all over the place.
• 1:58:38
  Yeah. I don't think there's a way you
• 1:58:41
  could rank these and anybody be happy with the way that you
• 1:58:44
  rank. Yeah, I think everybody would
• 1:58:45
  have a different opinion. Absolutely.
• 1:58:48
  Because I think I would put overhead squatch 3 and then that
• 1:58:51
  would be my list. Rope climbs, handstand walk,
• 1:58:54
  overhead squats. Let's see.
• 1:58:55
  Handstand walk. Max Lift.
• 1:59:00
  You you're just putting stuff that you like the.
• 1:59:02
  Best. Absolutely.
• 1:59:06
  Overhead walking lunges are not on the list.
• 1:59:09
  Odd double double double dumbbell overhead walking lunges
• 1:59:12
  are definitely. It's fine.
• 1:59:15
  Oh, they're better. Yeah.
• 1:59:18
  I I just think if quarterfinals are what it appears they're
• 1:59:22
  going to be going forward, throw Max lift in there.
• 1:59:26
  Just like I said with the open, who cares?
• 1:59:29
  The top 25% are going to get into quarterfinals.
• 1:59:33
  A Max deadlift would separate the world a lot more than that
• 1:59:36
  deadlift workout. And yeah, I mean, but you have 4
• 1:59:41
  workouts, what's adding a a Max lift to one of these?
• 1:59:44
  Just to the 5th or make a fifth workout.
• 1:59:46
  Just call it a Max. I'm not a huge fan of that piece
• 1:59:49
  of it just because you can kind of game it.
• 1:59:53
  I think it needs to be tied in with something else so that it's
• 1:59:56
  you have a little bit more than just, you know, I have 10
• 1:59:59
  minutes. I'm going to go do a Max lift
• 2:00:01
  like I have, I have AI have. I'm going to put myself through
• 2:00:04
  another workout if I do. This.
• 2:00:07
  It'd probably be at the end of event one.
• 2:00:10
  At the 12 minute mark of event 1, you have 8 minutes to
• 2:00:13
  establish A1 Rep Max Snatch. That's probably what it would
• 2:00:19
  because you're overhead squatting.
• 2:00:21
  You're already loose kind of there but you've just blown
• 2:00:22
  yourself to smithereens. But it's a 12 minute cat. 8
• 2:00:26
  minutes would equal 20 minute time domain.
• 2:00:28
  I know it's not the same but still I I agree.
• 2:00:33
  Yeah, that is that is that real quick Mayhem $12,000 for first
• 2:00:42
  place, 8000 for 2nd, 6000 for 3rd $59,000.
• 2:00:48
  Total prize purse. Last year the prize purse went
• 2:00:51
  down to 10 spots, now it only goes down to five.
• 2:00:54
  It was 81,000 last year, now it's 59,000.
• 2:00:59
  I have a steep prop off. What do you?
• 2:01:01
  Want athletes? You can't have both.
• 2:01:05
  You want a high prize purse? You want a live stream?
• 2:01:09
  Oh, good. Yeah, yeah, that's true.
• 2:01:12
  I think they would say a high prize purse.
• 2:01:15
  I'd want not if you're like Jason.
• 2:01:20
  Oh, he just won a lot of money so.
• 2:01:22
  What not that excluded, like I want sponsorship.
• 2:01:29
  I want to be able to present to my sponsors as a good
• 2:01:31
  opportunity. Like you're going to get a lot
• 2:01:33
  of eyeballs here. I want that.
• 2:01:35
  So it depends on who you are. If you're somebody like, I don't
• 2:01:38
  know, Liz Wishart, you probably want a higher price first.
• 2:01:43
  No offense to this. No.
• 2:01:45
  The higher price burst, yeah. Only for the top five though.
• 2:01:51
  Then I don't have a stream. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Liz.
• 2:01:54
  I would rather have a stream if you were Liz.
• 2:01:57
  Only the top five get money, so I I I think I would rather want
• 2:02:01
  a stream period. Yes, yeah.
• 2:02:08
  And then I don't know if you guys saw this today I published
• 2:02:13
  that is not what I wanted. I really feel like this is on
• 2:02:17
  the way, like if Mayhem's having to do this, we might have to
• 2:02:20
  start doing this all the time. You think so?
• 2:02:26
  You think it'll do it? Eventually.
• 2:02:29
  Dollar 99. So I looked at the syndicate.
• 2:02:36
  I took the quarterfinals from from to quarterfinals and
• 2:02:39
  applied it to Mayhem. The average ranking for the
• 2:02:43
  men's field is 96. Women's is basically 70.
• 2:02:47
  The top ten average 20 for men, 11 for women.
• 2:02:54
  Hatfield, Adler, Saxon, Colton, Roman and Jason are the top 7 or
• 2:02:59
  top six. Seems to make sense.
• 2:03:04
  Yes? Yes.
• 2:03:07
  Sam de Meester up there is crazy. 33rd Sam de Meester team.
• 2:03:11
  Athlete, though retired team athlete.
• 2:03:16
  Not quite retired yet, I don't think.
• 2:03:22
  Connor Volts 145th, Quinn Robinson 166th Mason Griffin 194
• 2:03:29
  Enrico Zanoni 2O3 Toby Buckland 217.
• 2:03:32
  I don't know what Seth's doing down there in 319.
• 2:03:36
  Any of these guys have a chance at doing anything it mayhem.
• 2:03:39
  It might be their only opportunity.
• 2:03:41
  Depends what the workouts are. I mean they can do something but
• 2:03:44
  they're not going to make the game.
• 2:03:45
  But. No, they're not going to be.
• 2:03:46
  No. They get a handstand, push up
• 2:03:48
  workout. Obviously they're knowing he's
• 2:03:49
  going to show out. They get a Max out, Mason will
• 2:03:52
  show out. Jack would do some stuff, but he
• 2:03:56
  doesn't matter. Alex, the ghost of Alex Vigno, I
• 2:04:01
  don't know what he's doing. He's a, he's a mayhem athlete,
• 2:04:04
  so. Connor has got some stuff he can
• 2:04:06
  show out on, same for. Nick, no chance.
• 2:04:09
  No chance of actually competing for a spot.
• 2:04:11
  I'm not in this field, no Quinn Robinson, there's a barbell
• 2:04:18
  cycling workout. I'm I'm interested to see how he
• 2:04:22
  stacks up with top of the field in a barbell cycling workout.
• 2:04:26
  We know squads, he's pretty darn good, but somebody like Victor
• 2:04:32
  Hoffer, I'm excited to look at watch too 'cause you know, you
• 2:04:37
  get the the right slate of workouts.
• 2:04:39
  Like Victor can be up there, He can make noise.
• 2:04:41
  You think, I don't know if it's going to be top three, but yeah,
• 2:04:46
  I, I mean, he would have to get lucky with the programming, but
• 2:04:49
  Mayhem's not going to program a Max and that's where he would
• 2:04:53
  get hurt. Right.
• 2:04:59
  But if it's the right lift that he just happens to be good at,
• 2:05:03
  you know what I'm saying, then because everybody's got a couple
• 2:05:05
  lifts, they're just better at this one than the other than the
• 2:05:07
  others. And if it's just the right combo
• 2:05:10
  for him or if it's mixed with handstand walking the lift
• 2:05:13
  right, like or with a a really hard obstacle, whatever, like
• 2:05:17
  like there, there can be ways for Victor to all of a sudden be
• 2:05:20
  up there. Then you wouldn't expect it.
• 2:05:22
  I'm, I'm not saying he's going to, but he's somebody that could
• 2:05:26
  just put a wrench into things if the right kind of programming
• 2:05:29
  comes his way. The I would love to test this is
• 2:05:33
  actually like going to be a great test.
• 2:05:35
  So take this for each quarter or semifinal and then see the
• 2:05:39
  correlation to the final and then I think that has a
• 2:05:42
  statement on how good your quarterfinals.
• 2:05:44
  Well, I also plan on looking at the top 20 in each.
• 2:05:47
  The top 20 ranked in every semifinal is see how strong it
• 2:05:49
  is, right? Do you think that the Mayhem
• 2:05:52
  Mayhem classical be the one of the strongest?
• 2:05:54
  No, it's top heavy. Syndicate Crown's going to be
• 2:05:59
  the strongest. But like it's a.
• 2:06:01
  Good chance it will be if everybody shows up that's been
• 2:06:06
  invited or accepted. For the men there, I don't think
• 2:06:09
  it. I don't think it holds a lot of
• 2:06:11
  water. Dude, the women's field is more
• 2:06:13
  stacked than the men's field. The women's field is crazy.
• 2:06:16
  Dude, the women's field is wild. It's it's a lot better than last
• 2:06:23
  year. Because even all the way down to
• 2:06:26
  the bottom, those girls at the bottom, like, have their events.
• 2:06:30
  Dude, Reese Littlewood. Reese Littlewood can win.
• 2:06:33
  Can win, Yes. Reese could win something.
• 2:06:35
  Caitlin could win something. Christine, I mean Erica Folo,
• 2:06:42
  didn't she win the squat one or when she was close to it, she
• 2:06:44
  was second or first in the sandbag.
• 2:06:47
  Burpee boxed it over. Wasn't she Race and Fee at the
• 2:06:49
  end? That was Emily Rolfe.
• 2:06:50
  She was third. Erica Folo was third, but.
• 2:06:53
  Still. But Emily Rolfe and and Caitlin
• 2:06:57
  Bernardin are probably going to be side by side in the workouts
• 2:06:59
  that they're both good at. Gabby have no idea what to
• 2:07:02
  expect from her, right? Emma Lawson we all think is
• 2:07:06
  going to podium then to beat all top 10 athlete.
• 2:07:10
  Then you got you got Haley Adams down there.
• 2:07:13
  Yeah, Haley. To beat all like, OK, you got to
• 2:07:16
  worry about these snipers that are down in the bottom of the
• 2:07:18
  leaderboard right here, but then you have to worry about the
• 2:07:22
  density of how close these athletes are packed.
• 2:07:25
  Yeah, but she won the hundreds. It's in the that's that's the
• 2:07:28
  workout I was thinking about. Can you scroll up?
• 2:07:32
  Dude? I'm just like Olivia Cursed or
• 2:07:36
  Emma Lawson and Lucy Campbell might be your podium at the
• 2:07:39
  games. Paige Rogers I think is going to
• 2:07:46
  make a run and back to top 10 games.
• 2:07:49
  Paige looks too. She looks really good and she's
• 2:07:53
  going to be sneaky, but I wouldn't be shocked if she's top
• 2:07:58
  15 at the games. Lucy Mcgonagall was top 15 at
• 2:08:02
  the games. I don't think he was in the form
• 2:08:04
  of her life. Yeah, I don't think you have a
• 2:08:06
  top ten of any semifinal that are stronger than these top 10
• 2:08:10
  based on the quarterfinals finish.
• 2:08:13
  No, it's they're all top 27 based in.
• 2:08:16
  Quarterfinals The women's field is insane.
• 2:08:19
  It's a games level competition as far.
• 2:08:22
  As it's, it's unfortunate that, you know, whoever gets left out
• 2:08:25
  of the top three, they'll have to go to syndicate to get their
• 2:08:28
  ticket. But you know, whoever that is
• 2:08:32
  will welcome you with wide open arms.
• 2:08:33
  Let's probably interview you. Yeah, that's what's crazy is
• 2:08:37
  it's. Only three of them.
• 2:08:38
  What's funny is 4th place that mayhem is who we're going to
• 2:08:41
  invite on our show because that's going to be first place
• 2:08:44
  at Syndicate. It's.
• 2:08:46
  A good chance. Maybe, maybe not, Never know.
• 2:08:50
  You never know so stay tuned. I think on Friday Rich Froning
• 2:08:56
  is going to be a share of workout that Rich did to
• 2:09:01
  announce one of the workouts for for Mayhem Classic.
• 2:09:05
  So he gives you an. Instagram thing about a workout
• 2:09:07
  already? They, they, they.
• 2:09:09
  No, those, those don't. Those don't always tie to it.
• 2:09:11
  So those are the stories. Yeah.
• 2:09:13
  So on Friday, he's actually going to demo a workout that
• 2:09:15
  will be in the Mayhem Classic. And I think we'll start seeing
• 2:09:18
  workouts start getting pushed out over the next week or two.
• 2:09:23
  They need to take some notes because they're like Mayhem
• 2:09:26
  stuff. CrossFit needs to take some
• 2:09:27
  notes because Mayhem stuff they've been putting out.
• 2:09:29
  It's fun to watch, like their little reels.
• 2:09:31
  They didn't have so much history like that.
• 2:09:33
  They could, yeah. There's so many people they
• 2:09:34
  could talk to and get those types of things, so.
• 2:09:37
  Dude CrossFit could take notes from a lot of people even I'm.
• 2:09:41
  Did y'all watch Justin Medaris's stand up?
• 2:09:44
  I did for a dude who's never done stand up.
• 2:09:48
  I did. I thought he did great.
• 2:09:49
  I thought he did great. It was really hard for the 1st 5
• 2:09:52
  minutes. Yes.
• 2:09:54
  And then he got going and. Then it got better, yeah.
• 2:09:56
  Him setting up his closing bit was a pro move that I didn't
• 2:10:02
  see. He had a couple good like tie
• 2:10:03
  insurance throughout the whole thing, which was, yeah, really
• 2:10:06
  good. It's in.
• 2:10:07
  It was so evident that the crowd had no idea what CrossFit.
• 2:10:12
  Now, he didn't really do jokes, he just kind of told some
• 2:10:17
  stories. But hey dude, what would you do
• 2:10:20
  up there? All right.
• 2:10:21
  And like that was the thing, he didn't try to force like this.
• 2:10:24
  Jokes I'm going to be like, hey, this one time I had a friend who
• 2:10:28
  couldn't drink a gallon of milk, so I was like, why shouldn't I
• 2:10:31
  probably drink a gallon of milk girls, I get what you're going
• 2:10:35
  through when you're pregnant. I get it.
• 2:10:37
  I meant you see, you know, like like that's what that's what I'm
• 2:10:40
  doing, right? It's.
• 2:10:42
  The exact same. I think he was.
• 2:10:44
  I think you, dude. I thought he was great.
• 2:10:46
  You. Can't standy, you're watching it
• 2:10:48
  with the like, you know, the stand up special like eyeball or
• 2:10:53
  even the kill Tony eyeball. You can't do that.
• 2:10:55
  You got to watch it for, you know, as a guy who's not not
• 2:10:58
  doing that. If you put him in to kill Tony
• 2:10:59
  and get murdered, No, but no laughs.
• 2:11:02
  But it's like he didn't. He didn't get oop like Uber
• 2:11:06
  awkward or anything. He kept the story moving.
• 2:11:09
  It was good. Dude, when the girl called him a
• 2:11:11
  podcaster, I died. Yeah, it's like.
• 2:11:15
  That's yeah. LED with it, LED with these
• 2:11:17
  podcast. Amazing.
• 2:11:20
  Yeah, that was good. That's it.
• 2:11:23
