we are back in better than ever and

is in the books can't wait to talk

about it next

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.

E-M-M-E!

it's lunch time what is going on man

what is going on like and subscribe thank

you savon thank you seven yeah um i

was watching savon and then i had to

go to a meeting and then i guess

i missed some big news and talking about

jake pepner pepner can't do the open no

It broke on the Savant podcast this

morning.

Jacob Heppner busted up his wrist on a

hike in the rain.

In Hawaii, of all places.

If you're going to do it.

You're going to do it.

Do it in paradise.

I agree.

One hundred percent.

That sucks, dude.

I know you were and I was one

hundred percent looking forward to seeing

him come in and just do what he

does,

which is wreck shop and cause chaos out

there on the floor.

I think it was going to be a

really fun show,

but he is one hundred percent correct.

Or I mean,

I'm with him one hundred percent on that.

I don't want to be run around like

this when I'm eight years old because I

decided to

make my wrist even worse than it

absolutely was before then by uh

continuing on so well and in this workout

if you can't hang and you can't pull

you're you're kind of sol yeah hundred

percent i would imagine and i i didn't

catch uh all of what he was saying

when he because i know he said he

tried some stuff but like even this just

holding that dumbbell over your head right

i mean you can do one on one

the entire time so i guess that would

help but

It wouldn't be great.

Yeah.

I mean, for the lunges,

there was no requirement that it had to

be a certain arm or arms.

I mean, you could do it one armed.

It's the snatches and the hang that

probably got them.

Yeah.

Vicky's admiring your bicep there.

Oh, boy.

I'm in my accessories phrase, Vicky.

So there's a whole lot of upper body

work going on right now.

Pressing, pressing, pulling, pulling.

Jody says,

that's what he gets for going to Hawaii

without us.

Shanna Bunce,

so sad I thought something bad happened.

I mean...

I kind of feel like it is.

Well, I mean, it's bad, but like, no,

it's not worse than a broken wrist that

you can get.

Well,

and then we don't even know if it's

broken, right?

We know it's busted up.

There's something wrong in there and he

needs to have an MRI done on it.

And, uh, but I mean,

way worse could happen.

Lord.

Yeah.

Lord.

Yeah.

So Joseph Ramirez,

the man who does not know how to

read directions.

So he came in clutch for twenty six

point two.

He took the Sevan approach to the open.

I'll just do whichever one of the

movements I feel like when I feel like

it.

You know what?

I'm going to make it a choose my

own adventure workout and just call it

good.

I'm just going to do it however I

feel like doing it.

Throw in some snatches here.

Throw in some pull-ups there.

However it comes out in the wash.

I can read them.

Following them is different.

I get it.

I've been there.

Sometimes it's easy to gloss over stuff

and just kind of more of a suggestion,

kind of a guideline.

It's like the,

what is it on Pirates of the Caribbean?

The Pirates Code?

It's really more like guidelines.

Like the people doing bar muscle-ups

instead of ring muscle-ups.

What the F?

confidently doing bar muscle ups like

walked up to it was like i'm going

to knock these out watch this i'm going

to put up a score yeah you are

it's not a good score because it doesn't

count for anything like i guess there's

nowhere in the relations like yeah because

foundations you can just make up your own

workout and just call it good um at

no point in there does it say that

you can't

do bar muscle-ups,

but you have to do ring muscle-ups for

it to count.

See, those are two different things.

It doesn't punctuate.

Joseph says, in all seriousness,

we appreciate you getting up early to

watch us suffer.

Yeah.

About that.

I don't like getting up early, period.

But I need, just so everybody knows,

I was unable to complete the open workout

this weekend.

My heart rate,

I could not get lowered over the weekend.

Yesterday, I went in for an EKG.

So first thing,

I went in for my ENT on my

sinus surgery follow-up.

Right.

Apparently there's like little things that

stick to the sides of your sinuses after

surgery.

And I had forceps shoved up in there

and she grabbed them and pulled them out.

And that was fun.

That sounds, yeah,

that sounds like a good time.

I might call Ian.

I got a friend actually who's an ENT.

I might see if I can just get

that scheduled this afternoon.

Yeah, it clears everything out.

Breathing is pretty cool today.

That's awesome.

And so I went right from that appointment

to my EKG where they did confirm I'm

an AFib again.

My heart rate is elevated.

And then I went and got lab work

done.

All that came back clear.

And they're going to shock me back into

rhythm on Friday.

Well,

at least they got to do it soon.

So I'm hoping,

I'm hoping this is the end of it

because I've had the sinus surgery.

I've had the biopsy on the lungs,

get the heart back into rhythm one more

time.

And with everything else fixed up

generally,

hopefully now we can keep it on pace,

on track to move forward.

And so that's, that is my hope.

Um, but I try,

I tried to do the thirty five pound

dumbbell, which is RX for masters,

fifty five and up.

Uh, my heart rate spiked first lunch,

just jumped.

So then I ordered a twenty pound dumbbell

for the scaled.

Right.

It came on Sunday morning,

tried that same problem.

just heart rate spiked almost immediately

with my hand arm over my head,

trying to launch it.

Just bam.

It's gross.

And then I was like the most,

I mean, it is sucks.

It is what it is.

Right.

Yeah.

And then you can do about it,

except what you're doing.

I guess like you can just go.

Now the cool thing is like,

I have been working out and I have

been changing my diet.

And all of that has translated into my

lab work being much better than it's been

the last couple of times I've had it

done.

Like everything is getting better.

And now it's just,

I couldn't finish the open this weekend.

Would you say it's getting one percent

better every day?

Maybe even one and a half percent better.

That's progress, baby boy.

So love to see it.

Love to see it.

I just,

and I see what Jake's saying foundations.

I just couldn't spike my heart rate this

week.

I just couldn't.

No, it's not worth it, dude.

And to be honest with you,

after the show Sunday night,

my heart rate was elevated.

I was up until two o'clock in the

morning,

like one thirty two o'clock in the morning

after the show,

just not able to sleep because my heart

was up.

And and then that just Monday morning sent

me into a spiral because I had to

be at my appointments in the morning.

Yeah.

And then everything just it just was what

it was.

And and I'm just ready to be back

to normal.

That's it.

Mike DeVito saying I'm going to be a

butterfly soon.

Oh, wait.

This is your cocoon face, Scott.

Soon you'll be a badass butterfly,

but with metal wings and gun turrets on

them.

Sweet.

Some flames, skull and crossbones,

maybe a pirate flag.

I mean, I'm here for it.

I'm here for it.

Jake says, fair enough.

I move slowly.

My heart rate never got above one thirty.

Here's the problem.

Jake is my resting heart rate is above

one.

My resting heart rate.

And so when it spikes,

it's just really bad.

And what the CrossFit MD says L one

CrossFit MDL one a better safe than sorry.

Yes.

It's just not worth it, dude.

Like not,

not even for all the long-term nonsense,

but just in the meantime, like you said,

you just did the show Sunday night and

couldn't fall asleep till two o'clock in

the morning.

No.

Yeah.

Get your shit back straight.

And back to what Joseph said,

I woke up early Saturday because my heart

rate was up.

Yeah.

And that's why I was watching Joseph do

his workout because I woke up because of

this heart rate thing.

I like how you said you were watching

Joseph do his workout because clearly he

was not doing the actual open workout.

He wasn't doing it.

He was just doing whatever he felt like

at the moment.

He was doing the workout he programmed.

David used the echo bike to get back

into rhythm.

That has not worked for me in the

past.

Just saying.

I mean, that's a bold strategy there, Mr.

Johnson.

So anyway, twenty six point two is done.

Any surprises on the leaderboard for you

as I pull it up right now?

Let's pull it up because I haven't looked.

I've been I have not been paying attention

to the leaderboard whatsoever.

So Colin Bossart gets the win of twenty

six point two, not officially,

unofficially.

But our Bellspin did post his video this

morning.

I haven't had a chance to look at

it.

Bill Leahy took second.

There's old Bossman on here down in fifth.

And there's also an old Gio Nikoski.

Ladies and gentlemen,

you can't get dad jokes like this just

anywhere.

FYI, this is only on Clydesdale Media.

I'm not surprised about Yona at all.

Good on Saxon.

Does not surprise me, though.

I do want to say that.

No, not at all.

I've seen the guy compete with his brother

to see who could do the most unbroken

muscle-ups live, and they both crushed.

I think one got twenty nine and one

got thirty.

OK.

So they are very strong in the muscle

up game.

That's only twenty three more than me.

Whatever.

Let's see.

What does chess stand for?

I believe it's Swiss like Switzerland.

It looks like a Swiss flag.

I don't know why it says CHE next

to it.

It won't tell me.

Mm-mm.

Oh, well,

I don't know what the hell I just

did.

Oh, you went to overall.

Ah, there we go.

Now I'm only in the Chechnya one.

It's Switzerland.

Switzerland.

But I don't know why it's C-H-E.

Yeah, that's weird.

So...

Carolyn and Lito are one and two on

the women's side.

I think he means for thirty five to

thirty nine.

Oh, OK.

That makes a lot more sense.

Let's just take a quick look at that.

Age group.

The ladies.

Oh, Marissa Flowers.

OK.

That no, no.

Hold on.

Sort overall.

Lito.

Both friends of the show.

Well, actually once part of the show.

How about that?

And look at some of the names are

ahead of Caroline Klutz, Emily Rolfe,

Mackenzie Riley.

Damn.

That's pretty awesome.

I've heard the name Charlotte Spence

before.

so okay so if we go back to

individual and i just did the top five

of the men sure um we have adler

mertens ellis pepper magda crouch uh down

in there eleven so pretty big names i

think the cream definitely rose to the top

on this one yeah as opposed to twenty

six point one it's a good workout

let's let's look at the women on this

we have claudia gluck elena caratala

mathilde garness lucy campbell christina

leviticus uh eileen wirs maddie sturt kyra

milligan amy kringle ariel lowen emma page

Yeah, Anika, Daniel, Brandon.

I was surprised Daniel wasn't higher.

Okay, but here's the thing.

Is she trying to be?

That's actually what I thought about

today.

We don't know who is really truly trying

to win these things, right?

Or who's just doing it to get through

to the next stage.

Moving on to the next stage.

I mean, I,

the only person we know for sure is

trying to win is Colton Mertens.

Cause he said, so he said specifically,

I'm trying to win open and he's doing

it currently,

but like you see some of these other

scores of people that we thought we do

really, really well, especially on this,

this workout in particular.

And yeah,

you know, they're, they're up there,

they're elite level times, but like,

it's not what you expect them to do,

but maybe that's what,

maybe that's all they're aiming for.

Like she ran through it.

Like it was a training piece and just

called it good.

Like I got a score up.

It's going to be playing good enough to

do what I need to do.

Moving on to the next thing.

Jake wants us to know that Eileen has

one leg shorter than the other.

Coming at me with more dad jokes, yeah.

That's why her parents named her Eileen,

actually.

He's also livid that Amy Kringle doesn't

have an Isle of Man flag.

They have her listed under the Great

Nation of Great Britain.

And he is not happy about that.

Jake,

I think you can send your complaint to

Dave at CrossFit.com.

That's what I was going to suggest, yeah.

All right.

Let me know how that goes,

by the way, when you send it.

I really want to know how that plays

out.

The other surprise to me was Alex Kazan.

But again,

we don't know if she's trying to if

she just one done it to move on

or if she truly tried to do put

up a big score.

We don't know any of those things.

What are your thoughts on,

because I've heard some arguments,

and I think Taylor Self says this a

lot,

like where else do you get the opportunity

to push yourself and see where you're at

than when you're competing like this?

Is it better to compete and push yourself

and know in the open,

or for some of these athletes,

is it better just to get through it

and move on?

There's definitely two different schools

of thought on that for sure.

For the longest time I was one and

done personally, like go in,

trust my fitness to know that I can

move on to the next stage,

not have to worry about it.

Log a score, focus on, you know,

say focus on my training,

like just kind of get it knocked out

the way.

Well, I'm here lately,

especially with moving up an age group

next year.

I am taking more of a pragmatic approach

with the retesting it because when else am

I going to get a chance to do

stuff like that?

When else can I go, well,

maybe if I change up my strategy,

I can go a little bit faster.

I can...

get a couple extra reps or you know

whatever the case may be um and a

lot of that is my coach um running

through me as far as that's concerned

because why not what's it gonna hurt

especially with these like this one in

particular in theory if uh my it band

wasn't so tight as it is right now

uh from the lunges and everything else

that we've done so far i gotta done

this workout three times

easily over the weekend and not having any

effects like people would tell oh my traps

my biceps all of this feels fine it

really does i don't know how much

diminished pulling power i actually have

but for the most part my lats my

traps all of that stuff feels absolutely

fine for me right now i'm still trying

to um get my lower half back in

in in line i would think

Again, if it's me right now,

I'm probably doing it at least twice,

not necessarily to see if I get a

different score.

I guess that's kind of the point,

but to see what, what, if,

if a different strategy works better than

the one I initially had just to test,

right.

To know more about yourself at that point.

So that when you get into live

competition,

you could look at something beforehand and

go, okay, well,

I've done something similar to this and

I've done it two ways in this way

worked better.

You know, sometimes, I mean,

Dave has programmed open workouts at the

games before.

So, hey,

what I did in the open might not

necessarily be the best option to do this

at the games,

especially with the added fatigue of all

the other workouts that are already in

there.

I could go either way.

Right now, personally,

I'm leaning towards retesting mostly for

the sake of the data that you can

get from a retest.

Uh, Vicki says,

do you think masters athletes put more

weight into the open?

I think traditionally they do,

but I think masters athletes are not

putting as much in,

but if you're an old school masters

athlete, the open meant way more.

There was a time where the open carried

over to your next score.

And so with that,

I think the mindset of the masters athlete

is, and I,

and I actually talked to a couple this

morning who are putting a lot onto this

and, um, and almost unneeding unneeded.

I talked to an athlete who is a

strength based athlete and she's worked

her tail off to get better at everything

else.

And she's currently sitting in like fifth

place.

Not with no barbell.

Like that is unheard of for her.

And she's like,

I hope there's a barbell in the three.

And I'm like, but if there isn't,

you're sitting so pretty going into

quarters when it does come.

Because of all the hard work you've put

in.

So,

and I didn't mean to cut you off.

I just was saying like that part right

there that Vicky's talking about,

like I had,

I had a whole come to Jesus meeting

with myself when I read it,

when I read it,

twenty six to Sunday and actually got a

worse score than I did on Friday because

right now for me,

this stage doesn't I don't say it doesn't

matter.

I have to do them like it matters

in that in that state.

Right.

I have to do them.

I can't just log a log,

a four rep score and then go on

about my business.

But for me in particular,

it matters because I know or I feel

I should be doing better than I am.

And it annoys me and it eats at

me when I'm not.

When I get in there and I look

at it and well, yeah, Jake,

I'm sure she is.

She's a games athlete.

Jake says a sixty year old mother-in-law

is doing the open at seventy percent

capacity to save herself for the next

stage.

Yeah.

So like I was I was having a

conversation with Brandon Sunday and was

talking about the fact that for me right

now, I can see it both ways.

So this was a muscle up test for

the people that can get that can get

to them with enough time to finish them.

Right.

Straight up what your muscle up capacity

is under fatigue.

Last time we had ring muscle ups was

twenty twenty three in the open and I

could not get one.

Couldn't get over the rings.

Did it twice.

Did it on Friday?

Did it Monday afternoon?

I want to say or maybe Monday evening

for the second time.

Couldn't get over the rings both times.

It was that day, that week,

that I said,

it's not going to happen again.

Just period.

I'm not going to let it happen again.

So for the past three years,

which the first year that was me getting

them consistently.

And since then,

I've been working on capacity and capacity

under fatigue.

So when I got eighteen of the twenty

in my head,

I am upset because I did not finish

it because in my head, I'm like,

there's no reason I should finish.

I shouldn't finish this.

But I can also look at it from

the thousand foot view and go, hey,

asshole.

In three years,

you've come from not being able to get

over at all to almost finishing.

And you're ahead of all these people who

are.

This is going to probably ruffle some

feathers right here,

but all these people who are loading

bullshit scores.

into because right now they open there's a

whole lot of that everybody knows it and

when come quarterfinals all these all

these magical scores are just going to up

and vanish like david copperfield right

because they're not going to sign up for

quarterfinals or if they do all their

their videos are going to get invalidated

quick fast and in a hurry because they're

not doing stuff to standard amanda says

since i am one and done and just

trained through the open to keep the open

from interfering with training first few

years i would redo them

yeah and then this is a good one

uh david says i consider redoing only to

prove to myself i could be closer to

the top few guys for this workout not

necessarily for a better score more

mindset than anything yes yes and trish

says you can ruin a training cycle by

testing right in the middle of it

Absolutely can.

Especially if you do it two or three

times on a retest type deal and you

just wreck yourself.

And now the next three days you're spent

trying to recover instead of being back at

your actual training.

Absolutely.

No, David,

you have to spend videos and cores.

Shanna says bullshit scores just suck.

But they're there.

I can look at people on the leaderboard

that I know and scroll past their stuff

and know I don't have to look at

them.

Like the people that I've competed

against, people I've seen live,

people I know what their capacity is.

Like if I run across David Johnson's

score, me personally,

I'm not questioning it because I know what

that dude's capacity looks like.

And then you see these other people on

there and it doesn't take a whole lot

of detective work.

Click on their name,

go look at their history.

Oh, yeah.

Last year,

this dude was sixty five thousandth in the

world.

And this year he's in the top one

inside the top fifty.

Hmm.

Don't add up.

It just doesn't.

And that's fine.

That makes him feel better.

That makes him sleep better at night.

Cool.

I'll see you at the next stage and

let's see what happens.

You know what's not B.S.?

Thirdsy.

And you know what's really not BS?

The open deal they have going on right

now because you can get twenty five

percent off third Z from now until the

open closes on Monday.

And all you have to do is say

things are jazzy.

Put jazzy in the promo code.

Get twenty five percent off your order.

Or go to thirdsy.com backslash jazzy.

Get the best recovery tool in the

business.

It's the open.

It's week three.

You need the best sleep, recovery,

all of that going into the final week

of the open.

And you can get all of that in

one great product called Thirdsy.

Now, here's the transition.

Do you want to hear the greatest dad

joke ever?

Obviously.

So here's the greatest dad joke ever.

What is the pirate's favorite letter?

I. I. Well, some would say I,

some would say R,

but I think it's E. Oh.

No extra charge, folks.

No extra charge for these whatsoever.

You do not have to.

I mean,

if you feel the need to donate to

the show, by all means, please do.

But just know these jokes come for free.

They're part of the experience.

And the accent was free of charge, man.

Absolutely.

That's my favorite dad joke of all time.

It's up there.

I can tell you that.

I'm going to write it down for later

use.

Shanna, I'm one and done too.

I try not to let my performance bother

me too much when I underperform.

Gives me more data on what I need

to get better, do to get better.

Yeah,

the video review for quarters will be

primarily used for prize money purposes.

Doesn't mean you shouldn't though.

I'm submitting video.

Yeah, but David,

is that for our age group?

Because I feel like I had to submit

video the last two years.

Because quarters weren't there last year,

but year before last for sure.

I would have loved to redo twenty six

point two,

but unfortunately it's not a welcome thing

at the gym.

I go to at least it feels that

way.

You know,

I would say like if you're trying to

compete.

They should have no problem with you

attempting multiple times to do an open

workout.

I think where it gets out of hand

for an affiliate owner is when you have

like the guy who's in a hundred and

twelfth place doing his fourth redo and

trying to find a judge,

trying to find like,

it gets to be a lot.

Yeah, that's a bit much.

That's a bit much.

You don't need to do it six times.

You really don't.

And unfortunately us masters athletes have

a real bad reputation for, I'm going to,

I did it four times this weekend and

now you can barely walk for the rest

of the week.

Oh yeah.

Yeah.

And you miss the next three days of

class.

Yeah.

I wonder why.

Oh, my point three was terrible.

Well,

it's cause you were recovering from the

four times you did point two.

Yeah.

Imagine it was.

Yeah.

Another thing I learned this week is if

you and I sing a song,

we don't get dinged by the YouTube

monitors.

Done.

So if we sing all the songs over
