We cover the sport of CrossFit from all angles. We talk with athletes, coaches and celebrities that compete and surround in the sport of CrossFit at all levels. We also bring you Breaking News, Human Interest Stories and report on the Methodology of CrossFit. We also use the methodology to make ourselves the fittest we can be.
I hope you were locked in, braced down,
and ready for the storm of the century.
I love the chase and the hunt,
and I set the pace when I'm running.
I always take what I want,
and I always give it one hundred.
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
Play the game like it's nothing.
I'm always thankful for something.
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
Now wake up!
It's time to look at the enemy.
Look in the mirror if he is no
friend to me.
It's not working out,
maybe it's the chemistry.
It's time to break up so I can
make a better me.
Eeeeee, abadabadoo!
It's lunch time.
What is going on, everybody?
Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdale.
I'm the Clydesdale.
He's Cowboy.
And we are here bringing it to you.
We've got the storm of the century rolling
in in Ohio and I think all of
the eastern side of the United States.
I've heard rumor that Louisiana is
supposed to get some snow this weekend.
It depends on which forecast you look at.
As of right now,
it's going to rain Saturday and Sunday and
then stop sometime around two o'clock.
And then Monday and Tuesday is going to
be in the twenties in the morning.
That was the last thing I saw earlier.
Cause we have me and the wife have
a Mardi Gras ball to attend Saturday
night.
Mardi Gras coming up.
Yeah.
It's happening depending on who you ask or
where you go.
It's a whole thing.
Uh,
Right now, like I said,
I looked at it this morning and it's
going to rain.
If you listen to the weather forecast on
the radio, we're all going to die.
Like everybody's going to die.
It doesn't matter where you are,
what's going on.
They're all going to freeze to death and
there's going to be a, uh,
seven feet ice and everybody's going to
die.
It's ridiculous.
Yeah,
my wife texted me that their corporate
office said, hey, everybody be prepared.
Work from home on Monday.
Don't come in, you know,
because it's going to be too dangerous.
Yeah.
And maybe even extended through the week.
And I'm like,
this stuff happens every year.
And I'm not saying we're not going to
get it, but fifty-fifty,
we get it or we don't get it.
And we'll probably get two inches of snow
and it won't even affect anything.
Cause we're used to that here in Ohio
and it won't be nothing.
Yeah.
But everybody in there is losing their
damn mind.
Go into the grocery store yesterday.
I just went because I got paid.
I wanted to go get some groceries and
everything's gone.
Everything's gone because, Oh my God,
we might be stuck for two days.
Oh,
It's the best.
Go ahead.
Oh, no.
The thing that's upsetting me is I have
a biopsy on Monday and it's an hour
drive north.
Oh, yeah.
And so they called me today and they're
like, well, we're going to set this up.
You're going to be the first person in
on Monday morning, be here at six thirty.
But if they call for a level three
snow emergency, we're canceling.
Well,
level three in Ohio means that you're not
allowed to drive on the road.
So I get it.
Okay.
Level three,
I'm not allowed to be on the road
or I can be arrested.
Yeah,
I don't want to be arrested trying to
get to a biopsy.
But everybody's gearing up like this is
going to shut it all down.
And we get snow in Ohio.
This is not new.
Yeah, no,
I think there's probably better ways to
spend your Monday rather than getting
arrested.
Trying to get to a biopsy.
Trying to get to a biopsy.
I can think of better things you could
probably be doing with your time.
I have a family member who was upset
that they didn't already cancel school on
Monday as of last night for –
for her child,
even though we still have absolutely no,
it might be eighty degrees, dude, like,
in South Louisiana.
Because, you know,
weathermen have never been wrong.
Yeah, no.
Never.
Never in history.
Never in history.
Me and one of my best friends in
the entire world, Brian Short,
have been saying for the past almost
thirty years now that we missed our
calling in life and we should have been
part of the weather team.
Like,
cause there's not just a weatherman
anymore.
They got a whole team now.
It's been like some time and you don't
have to be right in here where we
live.
It's the easiest thing in the world to
do, especially like during the summertime.
Hey,
it's going to be hot and it might
rain.
Yeah.
It's going to be hot.
It's going to be muggy.
It might rain from two to four,
something along those lines.
And the sun's going to come back out.
It's going to be miserable again.
And it's going to be same thing tomorrow.
Every once in a while we get a
hurricane.
Thanks.
Back to you, Pam.
Like, that's it.
That's really all.
Jay Burch, they're supposed to get ice.
Arlene Smith, ready in New England.
In New England,
you guys are scoffing at this.
Like, okay.
Cajun's going to party no matter what.
A hundred percent.
Bro,
the VA told people to take the day
off today and I couldn't get an MRI.
That's terrible.
It hasn't even started yet.
That's terrible.
That's absolutely.
That's insane.
When I lived in Florida in the panhandle
and there'd be a hurricane watch the two
places you could not get into where the
grocery store and the liquor store.
Yeah.
And,
and probably about the same amount of
ratio.
Yeah.
And they were, I mean,
the shelves were empty.
Uh,
Mark Phillips got some trees in the back.
I need to keep an eye on ice.
We'll bring them down quick.
I got,
we got a listener that her and I
trade memes on a friend, Jacqueline,
she's up in Canada,
and she sent me what they're going to,
like,
what their what their temperature is going
to get down to, and it's like negative.
And so I went and googled how, like,
how cold is that to be for oil
to freeze?
And it's just right about that
temperature, as a matter of fact,
somewhere between negative and negative
degrees.
And I'm like,
That's too cold.
I was talking to my daughter this morning
in,
in Montana and they're supposed to get
down to negative and she's like, yeah,
people have heaters that they put on their
engine block to keep the oil liquid.
So they, their car starts in the morning.
So then lock up Jaybird says block
heaters.
Yep.
Yeah.
bananas dude yeah i'm betting you like we
will get we will get to monday and
it will be half of what they expected
oh that's i wouldn't take that back
because i know better
Every time there's a possible tornado in
Ohio,
they interrupt all programming on TV.
You got the weather team out there like,
I see possible rotation and this cloud
form over here.
And it was the same for hurricanes in
Florida.
The weather team,
I think they have orgasms during this
stuff.
Oh, a hundred percent.
Well,
because they have something to do other
than stand in front of their blue stream.
And, like,
try to figure out where their hands need
to go.
Yeah.
Yeah,
it's like the whole team gets to be
together for a whole night.
We get to break into programming.
We're the stars of the show.
So let's up everything that's possible by,
like, five inches of snow.
Bye.
Because maybe they'll let us stay on a
little bit longer.
Dude,
the radio people are right down here,
because I don't watch network television,
but I do listen to the terrestrial radio
quite a bit,
especially in the morning times,
and those people are sick with it.
It's a winter weather warning.
It's a winter weather.
Well, yeah, it's wintertime.
I would hope it would be a winter
weather.
It'd be weird if you'd be like,
it's going to get to ninety-five tomorrow,
and it's January.
Jay Birch,
we're in an all-electric apartment.
I'm more worried about power loss.
I am really lucky there.
Really lucky because Chase Bank is like
stone's throw.
So we are on their electric grid and
it's all underground.
Yeah,
I got a friend that lives a stone's
throw from the hospital in town.
And she's like,
every time something happens,
she's like one of the first people to
get her electricity back because they're
wiped out by the hospital and they're on
the same grid.
Fantastic.
But we got gas at the house so
I can cook.
I can turn it.
If the power goes out,
I can light the fireplace,
keep the house warm.
Not a big deal.
I'm knocking on wood, but in my
Twenty two years of living in this house,
we have never lost electricity.
I wouldn't say that out loud.
I knocked on wood, man.
I did the thing.
I did the thing.
Would not say that.
A lot of young people here in Houston
can't believe we have cases on for Monday
in South Dakota.
We get twenty inches and we will see
you at work.
I was talking to my mom.
My mom's like, well,
they should just cancel school for Monday
and Tuesday.
My mom's a lunch lady, right?
And I get it.
She's eight years old.
She does not want to go into work
on Monday or Tuesday.
But when I was a kid, we never,
ever shut down.
And I grew up in the Appalachian
Mountains.
So everything was a hill to get to
the next destination.
Our buses had chains on the tires to
grip.
And I had to put on, like, full,
like,
snowsuits just to go wait for the bus.
And, like, nobody cared.
Nobody cared about my well-being.
No, not at all.
Oh, John.
Ah, John George.
Sorry I'm late.
Update,
Seventy-Eight and Sunny here in the
Villages.
DM me if you want to change.
Got it.
That's good stuff right there.
Shut down for snow.
Okay.
We waited for the bus in cold weather.
We never shut down for snow unless it
was like feet.
Feet.
That makes sense though, right?
Now, if it was an ice storm,
that's a different story.
Like we don't mess with ice.
That was the only time as a child
that we literally got to not go to
school.
I'll tell you like this.
If it does manage to snow,
that'll be twice in two years,
which I've never seen in forty years on
the planet down here.
Yeah, obviously.
All right.
So what's happening this morning?
Kind of last minute.
If you didn't see Brian Friend was on
with Hiller and that video was released
maybe an hour ago, maybe.
And they're having a conversation about
everything that's kind of happened from
the point of Brian Friend leaving Savant's
podcast,
the video of the least friendly man in
CrossFit all the way up until today.
I'm not through at all.
I'm probably eighty percent through.
It's like an hour and a half long.
Yeah,
I listened to it on one and a
half speed to get eighty percent in.
And I think it's a good I think
it's a good video.
I think it's good.
They they sat down and they discussed all
of the stuff that's kind of happened over
the years and why Brian is where he's
at.
And yeah.
And even the interaction between Hiller
and Brian and Hiller even admits that he's
kind of like a goldfish.
And just because he has beef with you
one day doesn't mean he remembers the beef
another day.
And so they actually had like a really
interesting conversation.
And I've never really talked about Brian
publicly on this show.
And there's a reason for that.
And I'm going to say it now and
then I'll let Corey say what his thoughts
are,
because I know he's watched some of it,
too.
Um, when I,
and in I was a fledgling podcaster,
I wasn't getting very far and I decided
that I was going to write a letter
to,
or an email to Justin LaFranco at morning
chalk up and, uh,
see if I could take over their YouTube
channel,
which had been dormant for like two years.
And he accepted that proposal and Kat and
I moved over to Morning Chalk Up and
we started doing some shows on there.
And it was the bottom line.
It's what Lauren Khalil eventually took
over after we left.
And our main guest was Brian Friend.
He was on it more than anybody else.
And anytime there was a big competition,
we had him on to talk about that
upcoming event and all the athletes that
were there.
And Kat and I had a horrible time
at Morning Chalk Cup.
We were treated like shit.
Everybody kind of tried to sabotage what
we were doing.
Nobody wanted to be our friend.
It was an awful experience.
Brian was the only one that supported us
there.
And he was gracious, giving up his time.
He would stop what he was doing many
times to come on live shots from different
events we were at.
He was very giving of his time.
And so I've always had a hard time
reconciling what's happened in the last
couple years and everybody and their
vitriol towards Brian and what I knew him
to be when we worked together at Morning
Chalk Up.
So I always had a hard time kind
of reconciling it.
Now I know that as he got more
and more popular,
like some things had changed and there
were some things that happened that,
that I did not care for that Brian
had done kind of to me and our,
in our channel and,
I don't know how intentional some of that
stuff was.
And then there became a time where it
became him and Patrick.
And everybody kind of knows that Patrick
and I have had a little bit of
beef lately.
And he is always finding ways to correct
me in chats, in comment sections, in blah,
blah, blah.
Right.
So I just kind of washed my hands
of it all.
And I am not engaging any of that
stuff anymore.
So I'm having a hard time.
And so I was really glad to see
this video with Hiller and him having a
sit down and Hiller not really letting him
kind of skate over topics and actually
answering the topics.
And so I thought it was really good.
And for me,
it's been a little cathartic just because
to hear his answers, to see where he,
what his thought process was in different
things.
Will my relationship with him ever get
back to what it was when I was
at Morning Chalk Up?
I don't know.
I don't know if that ever is going
to happen again.
But that's where I am with it.
And I've struggled with it for years.
And I do think some of his takes
and what he tries to take on is
not what I agree with,
but he's entitled to those opinions and
he's entitled to say what he wants to
say.
So yeah,
I just wanted to kind of say that
because I've never really kind of
addressed anything about Brian on this
show.
But that's really the reason why because
I've,
I had a hidden experience with him that
was not bad, that was actually good.
And it's really been hard trying to
reconcile everything around the space with
him in the last few years.
Your thoughts?
I'm about halfway through.
I'm kind of like in line with Mark
Phillips.
I don't know that I've gotten much new
insight out of it.
I do think what you said about him
doing stuff,
not realizing what –
maybe the consequences of doing whatever
he's doing is, is probably pretty true.
Just because of some of the stuff that
he says and like he remembers stuff
differently than other people does.
And you're always going to get, you know,
three versions of a story, right?
Your side, my side, and what's the truth,
which is usually somewhere in between
there.
So if you know, you know,
and like you said,
Andrew wasn't letting up.
Like he was going to get, you know,
some kind of answer out of him,
whatever that might be.
And then come back and rebuttal and be
like, well,
that's not how this person said it.
You know,
that's person usually being about,
usually being Savant and Brian sticking to
his gun.
So good for him.
And that he actually gets an opportunity
to address all of these things and that
the killer is a dog with a car,
right?
He catches it and he plays with it,
does whatever he can.
And then three days later,
he'll forget that it happened.
i think that's very much a true thing
so i don't know that i got a
whole lot more out of it um at
times he definitely seems arrogant to me
but lots of people do i'm not real
good with the i did this i did
that i did this kind of stuff never
been
settled with people who you know claim
other people's success for themselves you
know or that they uh contributed to it
and then have to talk about it because
i feel like if you if i say
that oh it's it's you know that i'm
the reason why people are watching this
show right now that then no it's not
like if you have to say it it's
not actually a thing that happened
Beyond that, like I said,
I haven't finished it either because it is
an hour and a half long and I've
had it on basically since I saw that
it was live because I wanted to see
what it was.
So there's that.
Mark Phillips, I'm about halfway.
Not sure I've gotten much new insight out
of it.
Yeah,
I don't know if I got more insight
other than there were a couple times where
Brian said, and even you, Hiller,
have seen that like the story that the
rumors that were out maybe not were as
true
as you thought,
and Hiller did agree with that.
Andrew Sten,
I think many things in life are done
without realizing the impact it may have
on others.
I think that happens a whole lot.
The last time I spoke to Brian in
person was at the twenty four CrossFit
Games,
and it was like a day after Lazar's
death.
So that is the last time I had
spoken to him public or in person.
And and he was broken.
Brian was broken that day.
There was like,
there wasn't really much to talk about
because of the,
where he was at that moment.
And we were all kind of stunned at
the very least.
So that's the last time I talked to
him in person.
He did reach out to me about some
of my comments on the WFP.
I texted him back.
He asked for a phone call.
I hate talking on the phone.
Um,
and I actually had some stuff going on
that weekend.
Uh,
so I never did call him back about
that.
Um,
but I wasn't against having a conversation
with him.
Um, it just was,
the timing was really bad at that point.
Um, Ken Walters, Corey,
how the hell big is your dog?
It catches a car and plays with it.
It usually like a dog on a bone
for my guys.
They get big down here, Ken.
i have no idea what he's talking about
when i said that killer's like a dog
they call a car oh gotcha gotcha so
it's it seems to be a really good
video um it's it's a great video you
can speed up a little bit because uh
neither one of them talk super fast
no so when you even go to like
one and a quarter one and a half
it doesn't seem too out of the realm
of normal my problem with putting a video
on one and a half or one and
a quarter whatever is that i have to
be paying attention because if not
like I will get lost and I will
be like,
what the hell did he just say?
Like I have to be all the way
in it so I can leave it playing
right here and still be doing some work
and like have it run in the background
where I'm listening to it.
I'll probably listen to it two or three
times before I actually finish it.
Stopping, pausing,
catching phone calls on my regular work.
Now, if you're listening to Corey,
you have to put it on point seven
five.
Need to slow it down a little bit
just to get into the normal range.
So when I usually,
especially if I get a hold of somebody
who's moving to Louisiana from out of
state and we're like looking to, you know,
get homeowners and get their auto
insurance and whatnot,
I usually lead off with, look,
I talk a lot and fast.
So if I'm,
you don't be scared to tell me to
stop or slow down.
I get it.
Like,
I'm not going to be mad at you
for telling, for fussing at me to stop.
Ken says you got gators down there.
Cowboy.
We ride him.
So, yeah, we had him in Florida, man.
It was wild.
Yeah.
Yeah,
Dez Gate is all over the place down
there.
Well,
let's talk about a couple other things.
The other day we brought up the WFP
had signed some of their athletes.
During that show,
there was a revelation that a few more
people had signed while we were on the
air.
It doesn't look like anybody else has been
announced, but Emily Rolfe, Jack Farlow,
Jennifer Muir, Nate Ackerman,
and Pat Vellner have all signed their WFP
contracts for the upcoming season.
They've also added a Masters partner
competition.
I wish they would just do one thing.
Get one thing down and then start adding
other stuff.
We have talked about that ad nauseum.
I mean, come on.
But you're not wrong.
I mean,
how many teams did they have where the
divisions were empty?
at tour stops there was that one dude
where like yeah there was that one of
them that i could have showed up with
a team and been on the podium yeah
it's just so yeah they're adding a partner
uh competition for masters
Anyway,
so that's who they are signed to contracts
at this point.
We also have Mayhem,
who has had some more confirmation since
we last talked.
So we have Haley Adams, Mano Anganese.
We have Saxon Pancheck, Nick Matthew,
Abigail Domet, Claudia Gluck,
and Paige Rogers.
Even with all the declines,
the lineup for this event is pretty damn
good.
Still pretty stacked.
No.
I mean,
we can still do what we want,
but it's going to be a fun competition
to watch.
I'm curious to watch Saxon.
Yeah.
He's got a lot to prove, right?
Yeah.
I saw a video of him training with
Scott.
I wonder if he's back up in Cleveland
because I heard he was moving.
Oh, yeah.
might be.
I need to reach out to him.
You reckon he's hunkering down right now?
So this storm is supposed to be more
brutal south than north.
Which is very opposite of what we usually
get because we have Lake Effect and Polar
Vortex and Alberta Clippers here in Ohio
that are all coming from the north
generally.
And this is coming from the south.
So Cleveland's actually got less
anticipated snowfall than we do in
Columbus.
They're talking about,
I got a friend of mine doing TFX
and like he said a thing this morning
showing like the long-term forecast or
whatnot,
possible snow next weekend at TFX.
And I'm like, again,
it's kind of a long way out to
be worried about that kind of nonsense
right now.
Jenny says, I live with a Cajun.
I understand Corey just fine.
Yeah.
Yeah, TFX,
we're going to have Joe Valens will be
shooting for us there.
Cool.
So we'll have some content coming in from
TFX next week.
Uh, super, super stoked about that.
I did.
Did you see the announcement they're
bringing in Don fall, uh,
and to do some stuff, uh,
with the affiliates at TFX next week.
I think that's a,
that's a cool thing to do while you
have a big competition.
So, uh,
Jay Birch on the tens.
Not supposed to snow at TFX next week.
Jay Birch with weather on the tens.
I love it.
Last time I was at TFX,
it was the freaking wind, man.
They gave us a canopy to do interviews
under.
And the wind,
we had to anchor it down with cinder
blocks because the wind was going to take
it.
it was so that's my biggest problem with
that's why i have not i got a
brand new pair of running shoes that i
have not run in yet because the days
when i would normally go it's been in
the like mid high thirties in the morning
which is not necessarily a big deal but
it's also been twenty five mile an hour
winds and i'm like i'm not running in
that i'm just not
I will run when I get an opportunity
to,
but I am not running outside when it's
anywhere in the thirties and windy at the
same time.
The last time I did that,
my hands went numb.
I was supposed to be out for like
an hour and a half and I came
back in forty five minutes later.
No, thanks.
Yeah.
You know,
it helps us all that getting a good
night's sleep.
Oh, that's what I hate.
You know how you get a good night's
sleep.
You take some thirdsy.
And it's going to be a snowy weekend,
right?
You're already bunkered in.
Might as well sleep in and get that
thirdsie in your system,
get a good night's sleep, get some REM.
If I was to take some thirdsies, Scott,
is there some sort of code I should
put in when I buy it,
maybe at checkout?
Just use that code Jazzy.
Yeah,
thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy or use Jazzy
as a promo code to check out and
you get fifteen percent off your order.
You get a good night's sleep on those
snowy days.
I'm about to have to order some more.
I'm almost out of my second bag.
Alito.
Hello,
both was just listening to the new Hiller
Brian episode with the popcorn.
Yeah, we talked about that already.
Phil DePuper, unrelated topic.
Any suggestions for getting the general
population of my gym to sign up for
the open?
Roughly three hundred members,
only nineteen signed up.
I'm really frustrated.
My first question would be you as.
Are you the gym owner or just a
member?
How much is how much promotion is being
done about the open by your gym?
Second thing I would say is I think
Sivan has done an excellent job having
affiliate owners on who are successful in
getting people to sign up for the open
and they have been sharing all the things
they do in their gym to get people
to sign up.
And so I think there are some great
tips and tricks that you can learn just
by listening to those people who do it
successfully.
I am going to get myself probably,
you know,
I'm going to get with some of the
other coaches too and see, you know,
who's got twenty bucks to throw up to
try to get some free members,
get some free signups available for the
end.
Specifically for people like, oh,
I spent twenty bucks.
Hey, you don't have to.
Look at this.
I got a free signup.
Go on and sign up.
Yep.
Ken Walters,
everyone is having a good night's sleep on
Thursday.
I haven't had any success falling asleep
any faster, but love the flavor.
So it took me a couple nights, Ken.
And then it's not about faster for me.
It's about deeper.
Yeah.
That's really what I'm experiencing.
That's what she said.
Exactly.
I will say this.
I think I figured it out.
And I'll hit you up, Ortega.
Thank you.
I will say this.
I don't say I figured it out,
but I take mine.
I usually go sit on the couch sometime
before or after I put Jameis in the
bed.
And as soon as I start feeling like
actually drowsy, get up, go to bed.
And like,
by the time my head hits the pillow
and I got a sleep number bed,
so like we call it the magic bed.
So like you get some,
and all of a sudden it kind of
does it's whatever adjustment that it
needs to do.
And I'll wake up and it's morning time.
Like there's no,
there's not a whole lot of, oh,
let me,
let me twist back and forth and move
back around.
Done.
Like it's ridiculous.
Uh, not faster, but deeper.
Yeah.
That's now going to be on my tombstone.
I'm sure.
Um, uh, Phil the pooper, a member,
although I think I own the place owner
is doing a decent job promoting just not
much interest.
Yeah.
I,
there's a lot of us that are members,
but think we own the joint.
Um, I think that is,
that is part of being a CrossFitter.
Once you have that attitude,
you automatically get to say I'm a
CrossFitter.
Lito,
we just spam them on every single class.
Lots of new members already signed up,
which is great to see.
Gym owner also programs a past open
workout every week,
which gives us a chance to talk about
it.
Yeah,
we've been doing a lot of that too.
Doing an open workout every week for the
past three weeks for sure.
And
don't coach a lot of evening classes but
when i do i try to let everybody
know hey the open is upon us sign
up sign up sign up sign up like
it's well worth it it's going to be
fun you get to test yourself see where
you are compare yourself last year like
you know you bring up all the things
um and i'm hoping that everybody else is
doing the same things the guys who are
coaching the evening classes because our
morning classes are those guys have been
there forever and a day and they're
probably not signing up and that's fine
but the evening class is where the where
it's at like the and even i say
even even the later morning noon and in
the afternoon classes where the majority
of our people come and really get those
people involved our morning classes were
probably the biggest participation
not us those guys came in friday morning
knocked it out first thing before work and
then they were not us i mean they're
going to be doing it whether they want
to or not so there's that but to
get him to actually sign up it's like
pulling teeth um you know what's going to
be on larry young's tombstone freaking
cardio open let me get larry to run
a five k see how that works out
for him yeah
sign him up for a month for a
year.
Yeah.
Or,
or even just to run a mile for
a day,
run them off a day for it.
It'll change outlook.
Like, cause it, after about half, twelve,
thirteen days in, you're like,
it's just part of your day.
I'm just gonna go take my ten minutes
or so, whatever it takes me,
or go run my mile, come back,
call it good.
So, I'm glad we're talking about the Open,
cause the last thing I wanted to talk
about was,
what is your favorite Open workout ever?
And what is your least favorite Open
workout ever?
Oh, man.
So I'll go first to give you some
time.
Yeah.
So my favorite open workout ever was
fourteen point three.
Fourteen point three was alternating
deadlifts and box jumps
And the deadlift increased.
It started at one thirty five for ten,
one eighty five for fifteen,
two twenty five for twenty,
two seventy five for twenty five and three
fifteen for thirty.
And then I think it went to three
sixty five after that.
It was an eight minute AMRAP.
It was the most fun I've ever had
in a workout.
And it's the one open workout I felt
like I was in the zone.
And I had never hit a three-fifteen
deadlift because of my back.
And I got to that part and I
nailed like twelve in a row.
It was my favorite.
And like the entire gym like converged on
me when I was done with the workout
and like smothered me like a pitcher at
the end of like a playoff game.
Dogpile.
Dog pile.
Oh man.
So my favorite,
my favorite is going to be anything that's
got a gymnastics and a barbell more than
likely,
or so I just had to go look
it up.
And I haven't done it since then,
but like,
twenty point five was forty muscle ups,
eighty calorie row,
one hundred twenty wall balls,
break it up however you want.
So I did the eighty calorie row and
one hundred twenty wall balls and ten
rounds just real quick running through it,
you know, ten and twelve at a time.
And I spent the next however much,
however long I spent trying to get a
muscle up.
And in twenty twenty,
I just I didn't have them yet.
Um, or just couldn't,
couldn't get over the rings.
I was so close.
That one was pretty cool.
But the one that was probably the next
year, was it?
Was it?
It was a repeat.
That is the giant chipper.
So it was like a sixty Cal row,
fifty total bar, forty wall balls,
thirty cleans,
and then ten ring muscle ups.
I've done that one four times.
That's probably my, my actual,
aside from this one that I want to
do, I would love to do again.
was, that was fun.
That was super fun.
Cause like trying to get through
everything and then get to the rings to
try to get as many of them as
you can before time runs out.
And the fact that that's an AMRAP is
amazing.
Lito's least favorite is any open workout
with a deadlift in it.
Jay Birch says max burpees for time.
Is that your favorite or least favorite
dude?
Cause everything is least.
I train all of least favorite deadlifts
and bar facing burpees, ten to one,
one to ten, and thruster row.
The deadlift burpee one,
that's the one Sam Briggs yelled at me
on.
The thruster row,
Brandon actually programmed for us this
week.
That was Wednesday, our Wednesday workout.
Mark Phillips,
I like twenty three point two.
Yes, I'm weird.
Phil Cooper, nineteen point one favorite.
All the rest are least favorites.
Oh, fifteen.
Nineteen point one was wall balls and
rowing.
Nineteen and nineteen.
That was my first ever.
That was miserable.
Larry Young,
the Dan Bailey in the garage one is
one of the best programmed,
even though I don't have dubs.
Lido favorite chest of bars and thrusters,
whichever one that was.
And burpees for time was his least
favorite.
Jay Birch liked the thruster row.
Sixteen point two.
I think a lot of these two toes
to bar dubs and late cleans.
And then Mark Phillips,
twenty three point two,
five burpee pull ups, ten shutter runs,
five burpee pull ups each round.
Yeah,
I thought that's what he was talking
about.
That was my least favorite was a thruster
row.
No, twenty seven, twenty one,
fifteen nine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There was a moment where I got off
the rower and I went and I got
my blender bottle to get a drink and
seriously contemplated just walking out
the door and not finishing the workout.
One of my very, very good friends,
her and her husband moved away a couple
of years ago from our gym.
We had that programmed for the AGOQ a
couple years ago.
It was the first time I ever did
it.
When it came up, Benoit was telling me,
he said, Taylor cried after this workout.
That's how bad it is.
I was like, thanks.
That's encouraging.
That's super awesome.
I really want to know if somebody cried
after they got done with it.
That was not a bad one for me.
Even though I'm not a great ruler,
I am
pretty doing decent at thrusters.
For some reason,
my core was just done mid-workout.
I probably went out too hard on the
row to start because I'm a really good
rower and the thrusters are probably where
I struggled.
When I hit,
I think it was the fifteen on the
row, I just wanted to vomit.
And so,
and I think what made it even worse
is my fourteen-year-old daughter,
her first ever open,
did that workout RX and kicked the shit
out of me.
At fourteen.
She smoked me so bad.
I think she went unbroken on the thrusters
the entire way.
She was so strong as a little girl.
Let's see.
Least favorite.
Oh, man.
Least favorite.
What did I say I was not going
to do again?
Now, fourteen five and in the repeat,
sixteen five are right real close to that
fifteen five.
And that was the.
That was the burpee thruster.
And I think it was it was stupid,
like twenty one, eighteen, fifteen,
twelve.
Nine.
I would say.
it was a redo i don't remember if
it was in nineteen or if it was
in twenty but the dumbbell snatch burpee
box jump over and it was like an
ascending anything with an ascending rep
scheme can get bent like i am not
i am not a big fan at all
um and brandon program was something today
that went down and then rest five minutes
and it went back up
It's not fun.
Um, but I remember specifically saying,
if I never do this one again,
I think I'll be okay.
And I'm like,
I'm really good on a dumbbell,
but that fricking them burpee box jobs,
dude, just, it, it smoked me.
Absolutely killed me.
Uh,
Lito S does my daughter do CrossFit now?
Um, uh,
She's actually kind of leaking back into
it.
When she was in high school,
she was really like against everything
CrossFit because I loved it so much,
right?
And she had been CrossFitting from like...
...twelve, maybe twelve to sixteen.
And she was outlifting women in our gym
at like fifteen years old.
She just was so, so strong.
And she had a decent engine if she
didn't let her mind get to her.
And then she kind of like went away
from it for a little bit.
And now that she's out in Montana on
her own and she's looking for some gym
time,
she's actually kind of like dipping her
toe back in the CrossFit water.
Let's go, Corey.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Let's see it.
Let's see it.
So, yeah.
Andrew said and redone once or twice.
I think that's seventeen point one.
You know, in fifteen,
I think it was maybe it was fourteen.
I redid a couple workouts and I just
learned that like I am.
I am not good at reduce like once
I know what the pain is like,
I am not good at like diving into
it again.
And.
I just stopped doing redos.
I just stopped.
Cause I would do it and get like
three reps better.
And I'd be like,
I did all that for, for that.
And the other thing was like,
it was killing my like regular training to
be healthy.
Right.
Cause I let the open workout take up
three or four days and,
And then you get back and you do
one or two workouts and then you're back
to another open that takes up three or
four days.
And so I just stopped.
I just stopped doing redos and just let's
one and done it and get back to,
because I'm not going to the games, right?
Like for you,
you're trying to qualify for something
that makes sense to redo.
For me,
this is just my test once a year
to see where I'm at and then get
back to regular training to stay fit.
I just had an epiphany,
one I just remembered.
It was a .
five.
So maybe twenty point five with the chest
of bars.
It was like a billion chest of bars.
People were doing singles the entire time.
God dog it.
Is that twenty point five?
I got to go look now.
No, that's not twenty point five.
So maybe it was nineteen point five.
Train all of ten, twenty, thirty, forty,
fifty dumbbell snatch and box jump overs.
Gross.
That one was awful, too.
Yeah.
Nineteen point five.
Thirty three.
Twenty seven.
Twenty one.
Fifteen nine thrusters and chest of all
pull ups.
Twenty minute time cap.
I remember that one clearly and just like
trying to slog through this every single
rep.
And I remember watching videos and people
talking about, yeah,
we just do the chest to bars and
singles like you'd be better off because
you have to get to the bar and
do your thrusters.
That one was rough.
I would actually like I wouldn't probably
wouldn't mind doing that one again,
but I just remember it being miserable at
the time.
One and done,
ninety-nine percent of the time,
super rare.
I'll do a redo.
Ken Walters,
you become acutely aware real fast after
the first try.
Yeah, you do.
Train Olive,
I only redid Burpee's pull-up shuttle run,
and it was like four extra reps just
made me more mad.
Exactly.
Lito,
I think more people might be tempted to
redo this year that the barrier to
quarterfinals is twenty-five percent.
see if I was see I'm not in
that I'm in like the twentieth percentile
I got a long way to go to
quarterfinals where I'm at currently now
once I get this shit fixed next week
we're coming and that'll be like twenty
twenty seven let's go um
But I do think she's right.
I think for people whose goal is to
make that top twenty five percent and
you're right on that border.
I thought one of the coolest things is
when Castro tried to make the age group
quarters.
And he was talking about doing a redo
to make sure he got into that top
twenty five percent because he was right
on that cut line.
And I thought that was like the first
time I was like, Dave, yes,
that's what you need to share.
That's the shit that's awesome.
That you're going through the same stuff
we are and you're trying to make that
twenty five percent cut.
And then the fact that he got rid
of that the next year after he himself
fell into that trap of trying to make
it.
Why the insanity of getting rid of that
level of the of the season?
It just made less and less sense.
Yeah.
Mark Phillips, I had flu during that one,
Corey.
What a great time.
Oh, my gosh.
The only bad thing about the open,
it is during cold and flu season.
Like I have been where my buddies are
like hacking up a lung in the middle
of an open workout because they're trying
to get through cold and flu season.
We are so not used to like actual
cold weather down here that when it
happens to pass through and there's cold,
dry air in the air,
when the air is dry around here and
cold and it's an open workout or something
like that, do like people are just,
it's like for hours,
like during the entire time laying on the
ground, trying to catch their breath,
just beating themselves to shit.
It's fantastic.
uh david reed the open should be renamed
how unfit am i dude you're a glass
half empty guy aren't you yes i i
need to like i was so my son
just started back doing crossfit right a
couple months ago want to get back in
the gym cool awesome so i asked him
the other day it's like he signed up
for the open he's like i'm not ready
to sign up for the open i'm like
yes you are
That's a ridiculous argument.
Well,
I've only been back a couple of days.
That's a perfect time to sign up for
the open because now you have a benchmark.
You're setting a benchmark.
Hey, this is where I'm at this year.
I just started back.
It doesn't matter because I just started
back.
Sign up.
I'm going to do these workouts and I'm
going to have this entire year to work
on myself,
get fitter and see where I land next
year.
I hate that argument so much, dude.
Oh, my word.
David Reed adds,
my superpower is sandbagging.
Lito, exactly.
Statistically,
there are just more people around that
seventy-fifth percentile line.
Yeah, it's a lot.
It's a huge goal.
By taking that away last year,
it took a goal away from fifteen percent
of the people that signed up.
It was a lot, dude.
It was a lot.
Mary says,
I've never even finished all the workouts,
but that twenty five percent is my goal.
My support system looked at me and said,
there's no chance.
I believe in you, Larry.
I believe in you.
We believe in you, Larry.
We believe in you.
I will be your official support system
through this entire thing.
DM me.
We will trade phone numbers and I will
keep your ass on in line there in
the entire open.
I have no problem doing that whatsoever.
You can make top twenty five.
I've seen you muscle through gymnastics.
It's absolutely insane.
And you're probably the strongest person
in your age group.
Yes.
Sign up.
Go through it.
Finish them all.
Finish twenty five and we'll do
quarterfinals.
That'll be awesome.
That'll be awesome.
Larry getting this twenty five percent.
That'll be awesome.
Hell yeah.
I'm going to be watching the leaderboard.
Should do.
Oh, speaking of leaderboard,
before you before you get on that,
do we still have our Clydesdale hashtag?
Do we need to make a new one?
Hashtag Clydesdale.
Hashtag Clydesdale.
Yeah,
the girls looked it up when we were
live on Sunday night.
It's still out there.
I need to get caught up on that
show.
Good.
Every year I pray we don't have thrusters.
Never comes true.
When I saw thirty three, twenty seven,
twenty one, eighteen, I was like, F me.
I did it twice.
Not just once.
F me twice.
I mean,
I admire John's prayer support system.
Like maybe we won't have thrusters this
year.
We're going to have thrusters this year.
That's just the thing.
We're going to have thrusters.
You're going to have thrusters.
You're going to have some sort of pull-up.
There's two things you can count on.
I saw Jenny post an open workout with
the dumbbell thruster.
I don't want to see that one again.
I'll go barbell all day long.
All day long.
dumbbell thruster dude I walk out of there
concussed because my front rack mobility
is not the most awesome thing in the
world and like those dumbbells would just
hit me in the head like over and
over and over again that's when it was
four six twenty four or six four twenty
four it was four six twenty four right
yeah
Yeah, exactly, Jenny.
It's only four.
It doesn't mean I'm any less concussed.
No, like that's how I thought about it.
I was like,
it's only four at a time.
Like, who cares?
I couldn't get my heart rate down for
an hour and a half afterwards.
I went and got an ECG and a
freaking stress test the next day because
I was worried like I had did something
wrong.
I'm not exaggerating.
That happened.
I had a little monitor that would glue
to your chest.
I had that on there for a week
during an open because of that.
I had to do that one twice because
I had to stop on the first time.
And I looked at Jeff and I said,
something's wrong.
because my heart was just, yeah.
Jenny said the Toaster Bar and Dubs are
my jam.
I actually did really well on that workout
on those two pieces,
but every time I had to pick up
those dumbbells, I wanted,
I just wanted to be done.
And it was only four.
I think if it was any more than
four, I would have quit.
Four was just like that number, like,
okay,
you can pick this up and go get
through four more.
But I did that with Charlie.
And if you're an old-time listener,
Charlie, it used to be good.
Charlie and I, like,
we were both banging our heads so bad
with those dumbbells.
And we were going rep for rep.
Oh, man.
It's crazy.
Love me some Charlie.
Shout out to Charlie.
I like four.
Thank God it was four,
because if it was any more than four,
I would have been doomed.
Alito wants that to be repeated.
At Southern Camp, not the last year,
but the year before that,
we redid that one,
but with a barbell instead of dumbbell.
It was fun.
If it was a barbell, man,
I would smoke that workout.
It might be healthy.
Brandon programmed it with a barbell for
us at Southern Camp, and it was...
was fun it was still devastating like it
was rough but it was fun um jody
pipes in good news is i have lots
of customers here bad news is i missed
the majority of this
See, upstate, like she's Connecticut,
right?
I think Connecticut.
I think so.
So she's up above New York even.
And they're not sweating the storm.
The customers are flying in to get some
cabinets this weekend.
Yeah.
And getting measured up.
I love it.
Lito and the Toast-A-Bar double under
Ascending Cleans.
That's money.
Bring that one back.
I want to do that one again.
Bring that one back.
Please bring that one.
That that's money for me.
Uh,
Larry says the problem is I I'm like,
okay,
what do I need to get before the
open dubs thrusters wall walks?
I need a lot of shit,
but I signed up.
Let's go.
Yeah.
can't wait dude I'm hoping that like with
the treatment for this sarcoidosis I'm
able to do the open um but I'm
signing up regardless um uh Jonathan uh
breaking news be aware of exploding trees
in the extreme cold I think it's I
think it's I think it's not going to
be like what they say it is
if it gets cold enough to start exploding
trees we got it we got issues we
had a nice storm on christmas here gosh
it's been forever ago my daughter was tiny
um and trees exploded the way the ice
on the tree made the trunk explode the
dude uh
One of our coaches was coaching this
morning, works for Energy,
which is the major power company around
here.
They're on call this weekend.
And he said one of the things they're
going to do to try to keep the
ice off the lines is pump up the
power that's running to them so that they
stay hot in that ice.
Because the problem down here for us big
time is that
that's how they'll end up snapping ice.
Cause they were not used to it.
Right.
So I don't know if it's a different
cable, whatever it is, but,
and then they'll end up snapping.
So he said, that's what,
that seems a little risky itself.
He said, that's what their plan is.
I was like, oh, okay.
Tim Allen back in the day,
just need more power.
More power, baby.
More power.
We had to try to keep them heated
so that the ice doesn't stick to them,
doesn't accumulate, and we're good to go.
Which, again,
looking at the forecast I just looked at,
if we get snow,
it's not even – I don't see it
happening.
I just don't.
Even if trees explode,
I'll have people looking for cabinets.
That's a good thing, Jody.
Jody must have some pretty damn good
cabinets.
I mean, it's apparently so.
If people are driving through exploding
trees and twenty-five inches of snow just
to get her cabinets, man.
That's what she said.
It's a modern colloquialism now.
Kids are referring to that as cabinets.
Damn.
That needs to be her advertising.
How good are our cabinets?
I'm willing to drive through an exploding
tree.
We're saying you're only selling cabinets.
What is in those cabinets?
That's right.
What is in those cabinets?
Cabinets.
All right, guys.
This has been a fun show.
Everybody bundle up out there.
But before you do,
make sure you like and subscribe to the
channel.
Hit that notifier.
So you know when we're on,
even though we're here every day at the
same time.
We'll be here Sunday night for Sunday
Night CrossFit Talk.
Next week is a shit show for the
schedule.
Most likely there will not be a Monday
show unless my biopsy gets rescheduled
because of a level three snow emergency.
Just like how you said,
it's a level three snow emergency.
Like it sounds ridiculous.
I know it's an actual thing, but.
Level one is just like, hey,
it's slick out there, guys.
Be careful.
Level two is, hey,
please stay off the roads unless you have
to be out here.
Level three is you are not allowed on
the roads.
You will be arrested if you're out here.
So shouldn't it only be two levels then?
Because if like level one,
I'm pretty sure you know if it's snowing.
You don't need the state going, hey,
it's snowing, which I take that back.
I know how the public works.
You actually do need to tell them that
it's snowing.
I'm sorry.
I retract my previous statement.
Be careful of this coffee.
It's hot.
A hundred percent.
A hundred percent.
That's how all of this started.
Right.
This Superman Halloween costume will not
allow you to fly.
Or be bulletproof.
Correct.
Right.
Yeah, we have to explain everything.
With that, guys, bundle up, have fun,
watch a movie,
watch some old CrossFit Games footage,
and we'll see everybody next time on Lunch
with Clydesdale.
