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.
What is going on, everybody?
Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdale,
where we are cooking up
Cajun on a Wednesday
afternoon with my boy, Corey.
What's going on, man?
Same old, same old, brother, man.
Same old, same old.
Coach, this morning, rest day,
be a great day.
You don't take the universal
Thursday rest day?
I do not.
I say I do not.
I do not.
There's a reason.
It's not like I just said to
hell with what everybody else is doing.
I coach Wednesday morning.
So if I'm getting up at four
o'clock instead of five thirty,
like I would normally do or five, then,
yeah,
I'm taking today the rest of the day off,
get up,
coach in the morning and just take my day,
go on home, hang out with the family,
have our little family
dinner and whatnot and
Do what I do.
Yeah, I would love to do that.
As I told you,
we were texting this morning.
I had six meetings scheduled for today.
That should be illegal.
Straight to you.
what's crazy is I had four
when I left work last night
so I'm gearing myself up I
got four meetings how am I
gonna plan my day what am I
gonna where am I gonna put
stuff I log on this morning
and they've added two more
overnight now I've gotta
like now I've gotta fit my
day into like I mean that
leaves me like two hours to work
I was going to say,
so that's six meetings and
then they still expect you
to be productive on top of that.
Like, you know,
I see you get your work
done in addition to all
this other nonsense.
Right.
And like I told you,
the one meeting literally
was them telling us where
they are with all of our projects.
And they could have,
they showed a spreadsheet
on the screen while they
were going through it.
Why not just send me the spreadsheet?
That is literally the
definition of this meeting
could have been an email.
Man,
people coming in with topics hot and
heavy already.
Jody, Aaron, what's going on?
Aaron Frazier with,
how about Tyson at the open announcement?
Anytime the Chicago Bears get publicity,
I'm here for it.
Dude,
how awesome would it be if Travis was
doing the actual announcing?
Like if his dad was like,
if they go real old school
and just have him come out
and just... Because...
That dude was so over the top all the time,
but it was awesome to watch.
He was damn good at his job.
He should still be out there,
in my opinion.
Do you think Tyson's doing the workout?
I thought I read that he was
doing the workout.
I've, I just saw the announcement,
like literally when I'm,
when I have this many meetings,
I have no time to like
dabble in CrossFit during my day.
Um, what,
so I don't know any of the details.
Right.
So one, my, my first thought is,
is he doing the workout live?
Like Aaron saying live on TV?
I, and if I'm the bears,
depending on what this workout is,
what are my thoughts?
There's GM just watching him go,
like just punching the air
the entire time.
Right.
Cause he's one of the best
backups in the league.
Yeah.
They are prohibited from
doing things in the
offseason that may get them hurt, right?
Yeah.
Like, yeah,
I'm sure there's clauses in
their contract,
all kinds of stuff like that.
But, I mean, technically,
it's just a workout.
He just so happens to do CrossFit.
I mean,
it's not a secret that he does CrossFit.
Right,
but he does not during the season
because the strength and
conditioning coaches will
not let him do it during the season.
bananas crazy and I think he
like he had a discussion
with this with Hiller like
early on and it's really
like it like CrossFit does
it's a lot of squatting
it's a lot of hinging it's
a lot of hips and they
don't want them burnt out
during the season
So I get that.
I get that from that perspective.
I talked to a volleyball
coach way back when my
daughter was playing
volleyball who did CrossFit,
but he would not let his
girls do CrossFit during the season.
So what about the minimum effective dose,
though?
Like, they got to do something, right?
Well, they do work out.
They do work out.
But it's a very...
And you could call anything CrossFit,
right?
If you're putting a couple
things together.
Right.
But it's more designed with less hinging,
less hips involved because
they want their legs fresh
for the season.
Sports specific, let's say.
Right, right.
Dude, I just, and Aaron's right.
Like, okay, so I'm not crazy.
I did see that.
He's going to be doing it
alongside them three animals.
So you got the fittest man on earth.
The second fittest man on earth.
I mean,
the three dudes that could very well be.
And the fourth fittest man on earth,
right?
And the fourth fittest man on earth.
Yes,
I'm saying the three guys that could
definitely be on top of the
podium at the games this year.
That's a possibility that could happen.
And Tyson,
the backup quarterback for
Chicago Bears that everybody loves.
FYI,
I have not seen a person say a bad
word about Tyson.
You can't.
He's too good of a dude.
Well,
Adrian Conway says you can find any
high schooler to squat five
hundred pounds and run a
five-minute mile.
I don't know about any,
but I'm sure that there are several.
Just kidding, man.
He ain't wrong, though.
He's not wrong.
Yeah,
when I was in high school playing
football, I squatted five hundred.
Yeah.
And I probably...
I probably ran a five minute
mile back then.
I went to, I mean, uh, Oh, good Lord.
He was in eighth grade when
I was graduating.
Uh, his name will come to me in a second,
but he went to my high
school and he ended up playing in NFL.
I'm sure he spotted five
hundred and ran like a four something.
I ran a five something.
Yeah.
But, and then that was,
that's because of the swimming.
Like my cardio was just like
through the roof and then,
and then the football and I
was strong anyway, my legs,
I've always been able to squat, but like,
I still couldn't do muscle ups.
Right.
You know, I couldn't do.
So even though like Adrian
makes the point that you
can get like these couple aspects of,
sure you can find high
schoolers to do that to do
the complete gambit of what
a games athlete does
probably can't find that no
but I think what he's
getting at is that a lot of
that kind of stuff like the
the five hundred back squat
and five minute mile thing
like that was a thing for a
while like people wanted to
do that and you're almost
looking at it as like a
baseline right like
um for a say a baseline call
an estimated baseline
somewhere in the in those
numbers for a games athlete
like for a male you're
gonna back squat somewhere
in the realm of five
hundred pounds you're gonna
run a five something mile I
mean at the games uh last
year what did it what it
was the slowest one like
five forty five or
something like that and I
would I stopped paying
attention after because my
draw was on the floor with
ricky's four something
Exactly.
That's what I'm getting at.
Like Brandon ran a five something.
And then he, and remember him saying like,
he thought that was gonna
be pretty fast and he was
towards the back of the pack.
That's insane.
So I think what Adrian is
getting at is like, like, you know,
with the right training,
you can find people that
can do what you do.
And maybe you should just
back off and thinking that
you are God's gift to whatever it may be.
And just kind of,
be humble.
Yeah.
I think you're going stronger than he did.
I think he was saying we've
lost touch with our roots.
We've lost touch with our community.
The athlete has,
you can't say like a
hundred percent they have, but a good,
but a good,
a good amount have lost touch.
I think the Mayhem people
still work out as a community.
They still drop into classes.
I think Emily Rolfe still
goes to the affiliate.
Emily Rolfe is amazing.
That video of her knocking
the Smirnoff Ice back after
the announcement last night,
you're with the people.
I had to move her to the
prime spot after the Smirnoff Ice, man.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
I think that's why people
love Colton so much because
he's relatable.
Well,
and he still goes and does open
workouts at Kilo or,
you know what I mean?
Like whichever the other one is.
Yeah.
And he's there mingling and
hanging out and talking to people.
And like, those are his people.
He knows people there.
he does this stuff at crash, right?
Like, so,
so people still are there and
they're still doing it.
It probably isn't as,
it probably isn't as
connected as it was back in
the day because,
because nobody did it full time.
Everybody worked another job, everybody,
you know, it was.
And so they,
they were part of that gym and,
The whole season revolved
around that community.
Regionals made it so easy
for a community to all hop in vans,
head to a location,
and root on their athletes.
Absolutely.
We don't have that anymore.
One of my,
so Mark Moss texted me yesterday,
as a matter of fact, and wanted to know,
he's like,
trying to plan a guy's trip to go to,
what's the other one in Tennessee?
Syndicate.
He wanted to go to Syndicate
and wanted to know if I wanted to go.
And I was like, dude, I would love to,
but if I tried to plan
another trip right now,
my wife would probably put
a pillow over my face while
I was sleeping because we
just got so much stuff going on between,
Family vacation, adult vacation,
me traveling to compete at
Monster Games and then
probably at Legends again and whatnot.
I can't make it.
Much as I would like to, I cannot make it.
Well,
I would love if you came to the
CrossFit Games here in
Columbus for the major,
because we would hit it hard, man.
Here's the problem with that.
It's, uh, August, the right weekend.
It's late August for sure.
So, uh,
some friends of ours are playing or, uh,
one of my best friends, matter of fact,
I'm planning a adults only
trip to Key Largo,
to the keys at the beginning of August.
And going back and forth.
Yeah.
Well, no,
we're going like we're in my wife's.
Yeah.
Jennifer decided we are one
hundred percent doing that.
Well,
I say that we decided we weren't
saying that.
But we can talk to Jennifer decided.
Yeah.
I told her I said, when is this again?
She's like the first weekend in August.
I said, oh, she said, what?
I said, well, I mean, if I make the games,
that's like the last weekend in August.
I got to go to Ohio.
And she goes, I mean,
what does that have to do
with us going to Key Largo?
I said,
I'd be training for like two weeks
before the games, dude.
Like I can't just go on vacation.
She said,
you can work out while we're down there.
I said,
I already looked up CrossFit Key Largo.
They follow me in program
and I'd be all right.
Yeah.
There you go.
Well,
speaking of like planning out your year,
I have what might be, could possibly be,
Strap in boys and girls.
So I've been saying on here
about how I'm trying to get
media credentials for the WFP.
We are one of the few shows
that have been kind of
supportive to the WFP, right?
A lot of people are tearing it down.
Yeah.
I say, let's give them a chance.
Let's see what they can do.
So back last week,
I sent an email asking for
credentials to the media
team at World Fitness Project,
asking for four media passes.
So there it is, you see.
Wednesday, March fifth.
Wednesday, March fifth, a week ago.
Isn't that interesting?
So don't hear anything back.
It's fine.
I figure it's going to take a while.
sitting around the house
this weekend and the guy
that does video and photos
for me when I can't go to a
place um and he's generally
west coast uh he was at
water palooza this year um
but I if he if I'm not
going somewhere like I will
get him credentials he
shoots stuff sends it to me
and then I then I can put
out an ig presence like
we're there covering right
So I get a DM from him this week,
and he's asking if I'll
help him get credentials
for the World Fitness Project.
And he sends this attachment,
which is a link to an
application to sign up for
media credentials for the
World Fitness Project.
Okay?
I'm like,
did they put that link out publicly?
Did they, he said,
I emailed them and they
emailed this to me saying
that because I emailed them,
they're going to give me
priority over the people
that get the public one later.
I'm like, okay.
So I send,
and I did not copy this because
the only person that did
response to me with the WFP
is Will Morad.
And he responds to me within minutes.
Like it has been very, very good.
But I did not screenshot
this because I do not have
permission for that conversation.
But I texted him and said,
this is pretty peculiar.
Plus, before all of this,
I asked if I could partner
with them to do features on
their contender athletes.
Right.
Right.
I know you guys are doing a
lot with the contracted athletes.
We wanted to feature the
people challenging them, the challengers.
That's a better story, in my opinion.
Right.
Because they're going to
have to come up with their own stuff,
their own money, their own trip,
and they're going to try to
get a pro card, right?
So they're fighting for this
for next season.
Yeah, no, I'm in.
And all the partnership was
was to help us get them
scheduled for interviews and stuff.
I didn't want any money for it.
I didn't want anything.
And then we would promote the challengers,
right?
Never heard anything back on that.
will said he would send it
to his media team media
team has never gotten back
to me so then I see this go
out that the media pass
application will be
available this thursday and
this was yesterday it came
out so my guy got the link
on saturday or sunday
I emailed them last Wednesday,
heard nothing.
And then this goes out that
the media pass application
will be available this Thursday.
Not a great start to make
friends with the third party media.
And again,
there have been a lot of people
trashing them
And we have said, hey, cool it.
Don't criticize them.
Let's see what they can do.
Well, yeah,
don't shit on them before they
get out the gate.
I mean, that seems a bit much.
And then us who have done
this and we ask for that
and we're getting the
runaround and we're not
even getting responded back to.
That's way more rough to me.
This is exactly what I thought, Jody.
That's way more rough to me because, bro,
like in my business,
I deal with people all day long,
sending quotes out for
proposals and whatnot.
Tell me no.
Yeah.
I don't like you.
I'm perfectly fine with no.
But tell me something because otherwise,
like you –
I don't like that at all.
Don't ghost me for no good reason.
I'm just asking all that.
I'm like, I'm fifty five years old, right?
I don't have time to play games.
No.
So I said,
if you don't like what we're
doing or you don't like
want us to be there, just tell me.
It's perfect.
I'll move on and plan the
rest of my year a different way.
Happily.
But but to dick around with
me like this is just horseshit.
That's not cool.
Well,
and they just didn't know that I work
with that photographer and
didn't know that I would
see that stuff early.
Here's the thing.
But you're trying to grow that thing.
You're trying to get off on
the right foot.
This ain't the way to do it.
No.
And I don't think people like that.
I won't say like that.
you don't realize how many
steps away you are from things.
Does that make sense?
Like I know, I know Mark Moss,
Mark Moss has Adrian
Bosman's phone number.
Adrian Bosman has Dave
Castro's phone number.
So I'm three steps away from
talking to Dave Castro at
any given point in time.
And the same thing with you, right?
I think it is, but just, right.
I'm just kidding.
It's not that easy.
I'm aware of that,
but just saying like this
community is not as easy.
like it's still pretty tight
knit for being what it is,
especially when you get
into the organizers and the,
like it's a lot of the same people.
Well, and truth be told,
there's a lot of us smaller
entities that need to
partner with each other to
help each other out.
Yeah.
And that's what we do.
And that's what I propose to them.
Like, Hey, you guys are new to this.
All I want to do is partner
with you and get access to
your challengers so that we
can do features on them.
That was it.
No response at all.
And then the shit gets copyright stricken.
What gets me is that I'm
trying to highlight your business,
the thing that you were doing,
and I want to do it for free.
I just want you to be
involved with it so that when I do it,
it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.
Right?
So I just want...
And nothing.
Like crickets on the other side.
And that is mind-boggling to me.
The hardest thing right now
is my plan was to follow a
person from the in-person
semifinal to the tour event
one of the WFP to an in-person semifinal.
From an in-affiliate to a
WFP to in-person.
And I can't even get that
kind of signed and
planned without the WFP being a part of it,
right?
Giving me media credentials
to be able to follow that person.
So yeah,
to be there when they actually do it.
Right.
So my plans are like all on
hold while they're dicking around.
And I don't know if he knows or not,
but time keeps marching on.
Like we're not getting any
further away from it.
No, it's just, it's so frustrating, man.
And it's,
I feel like there's a lot of that
in this space,
like just fighting and
crawling and fighting to
get everything you need to
help promote the sport.
It's not like I'm going to
do this with CrossFit at times too.
Yeah.
What I don't understand is that it's,
Like you said,
there's not that many people doing it.
So why would you want as
many people doing it as humanly possible?
That would seem like a no-brainer to me.
Like, oh, yeah, absolutely.
Sign off on it.
Moving right along.
I can't perceive or conceive, I should say,
of what the holdup would be.
Like, why not?
Why not say either way?
Why not either say, yep, absolutely,
Scott.
Be glad to have y'all.
Who do you have in mind?
We'll get you some credentials for,
you know, get you access, basically.
Or to say, nah, we're taking care of it.
We have our own media team.
We're going to do this whole
thing ourselves.
I appreciate you moving right along.
Or just telling you to get
and just sending you on your way.
Because then you don't
control the access and market.
If you're giving access,
I feel like you're still
controlling the access.
Scott got firsthand at the games last year,
the Masters games,
whenever they had access
and restricted it the next day.
Yep.
We were trying to fill a hole, right?
You're not going to be able
to feature every one of the
thirty athletes,
and those challenges are
going to change every tour event.
Yep.
We have shown that we can
get through over a hundred
semifinal athletes in a
short amount of time.
I was thinking about that,
how many interviews you did last year,
earlier, and it's a mind-boggling number.
Last year was the smallest
number because it was the
smallest window of time.
Yeah.
The years before that,
we went over a hundred.
But what I'm saying is that
you were doing them one
after the other after the other,
like sometimes two and three a day.
Oh yeah.
Towards the end.
I remember that clearly.
Done that for three straight years.
And so I already have
relationships with a lot of
those challenger athletes
because nobody else,
nobody else pays attention to them.
Right.
Big shiny objects.
Yeah.
So, you know,
I was going to take those
relationships that I built,
help you guys out.
You help us out by partnering with us.
Give us a little love that we're doing it.
Share some of our stuff.
That was it.
That's all I was asking.
I didn't want any money.
I didn't want any.
It doesn't matter.
I'll quit that riff.
But the other thing I wanted
to ask you about,
and I've been talking about this all week,
is Colton and Miriam both
won one and two.
Yes.
So we have both elite men
and women have the same
winners for week one and two.
Does that shine a negative
light on the programming to
find the fittest to move on?
And I then back this up with,
And I love Holly Dugan, Dana Wadd.
She is awesome.
She put this out last night
and we collaborated.
These are the other double
winners in the other age groups.
So six age group athletes
won both event one and event two.
I don't know how big Kevin is.
I've only seen them in pictures.
You think that's crazy?
These are the adaptive who
have won event one and event two.
Wow.
And you think that's all of them?
No, there's another page.
Really?
Twenty-five athletes won
both event one and event
two in all the different divisions.
Okay.
I was going to bring up the fact that,
you know, uh,
Dallin pepper is in what third or fourth,
something like that.
Um, but that is, that's a lot of data.
I love Tristan.
What?
No, Scott.
Of course,
now that we have watered down
the loading and skills in the open,
it's not biased towards
range of motion at all.
No way.
That would be crazy.
And then the lap.
Those athletes just wanted more.
Yeah.
Twenty-five athletes
throughout the divisions
all won event one and event two.
Holy cow.
I missed that.
I did not see it.
I went to bed even earlier
than normal for me.
So I must have missed that
last night when Holly put that up.
But that is insane.
Holly works through the night.
I wake up to go pee in the
middle of the night and I
wake up to a request.
Hey, do you want to collaborate?
Sure.
I'm accepting it at like
four o'clock in the morning.
Dude.
So you said twenty five.
Twenty five.
The cream always rises to the top.
Come on, man.
He's been... Miriam has
never been to the games.
Colton has never finished
higher than what?
Nineteenth?
Yeah,
I think last year he was his highest
finish.
Or year before last.
You're talking about the games.
Yeah.
Right, but that's what I'm saying.
Like... Bro.
It... Yeah.
I...
I think Tristan is on to something.
We have watered it down too far.
I'm going to say this.
So everybody's talking about the leaks,
the leaks, the leaks, the leaks,
the leaks, right?
Oh,
we're going to have dead lifting and
rowing and wall walks.
And I'm repeating something
or adding on something that
I heard the other day.
I don't remember what show it was on,
but somebody was saying
that if it is in fact dead,
rowing and it doesn't matter
the third movement then you
have basically repeated
last year's open as far as
the loading is concerned
like if it's not over a two
hundred twenty five pound
deadlift we just assume
have done twenty four point
two again if that's what
twenty five point three is
going to be minus the
double unders we just added
in a different movement oh
we're still rolling and
deadlifting there's been
nothing that's heavy
Like I am forty seven years
old fixing before eight and
one hundred thirty five
pound thrusters are just
it's just not that heavy.
I was taxed because I was tired,
but it wasn't because I was heavy.
The vast majority,
if not all of the elites,
did them unbroken.
The the first workout,
the twenty five point one,
it was just a slight
evolution of what twenty
four point one was.
We did burpees over a
dumbbell and we did
something with the dumbbell.
Last year was more of a sprint.
This year it was how long
can you hold on for?
How long can you sprint for, basically?
I was talking to a friend of
mine yesterday and said,
I almost regret not doing
it again because knowing what I know now,
I probably could have got
twenty five or thirty,
thirty extra reps by
pushing harder at the beginning.
It's the only one I haven't,
I say the only one, Mike, we have done,
there's only like a billion,
seventeen of them, but out of the two,
I only did, redid,
I redid twenty-five point two.
I didn't do, and I should have done,
redid that one.
I'd be higher on the
leaderboard right now.
If it's not something that
actually has a separator, yes.
Thank you, Tristan Patrick.
One hundred percent.
Please bring that up, Scott.
People are interested in
muscle-ups and heavy cleans,
not burpees and wall balls.
There's a way to earn your right to those.
Yeah.
It doesn't have to be at the beginning.
It can be back when there was no scaled.
You never started a workout
with muscle-ups?
One.
It was one.
One time.
And it was at the end of the RX world,
maybe.
I don't know.
It's hard for me to remember all that,
but...
There's only one open
workout that I know of that
starts off with ring muscle-ups.
Right.
But I think they were
scaling at the time that
allowed you to at least start it.
Right.
But he's not wrong.
Everybody I know, myself included,
give me something heavy.
Let me do some ring muscle-ups.
I understand it's the open, but the open,
when I first started doing
this and I didn't have ring muscle-ups,
which was actually not that long ago,
That's what I was aspiring
to all year long.
I want to be able to do a
ring muscle up if they come
up in the open or if they
will come up when I win
quarterfinals was still a thing.
Or last year for semifinals,
I was nine different kinds
of excited because I could
do them for the workout.
I wasn't real good at them,
but I could at least do them.
And it's because I've been
working my butt off all
year long to be able to do that.
But there's a lot of
accessible movements that
we are not doing that are
not range of motion.
And we'll probably get a couple this week.
So the same people probably
won't win event three.
But, like, box stepovers, box...
That's not there, right?
People with long legs are
going to do way better than
a short range of motion.
The row is probably going to
show up this week.
Wall balls are going to help
the taller athlete get a
little heavy with some deadlifts,
things like that.
We haven't done barbell out of it too.
Like it seems like it's a
lot of dumbbell stuff early on,
not like barbell cleans or a snatch.
Yeah.
Well,
I get the snatch is not as introductory.
Um, I understand that,
but if we're in a three
week open and we're in the
third week of the three
week open and all we're
going to do is put off the floor, um,
over I get you too we
haven't seen toes to bar we
haven't seen um I don't
know there's just there's a
lot of stuff out there but
I something is wrong if
that many people have won
both one and two I wouldn't
yeah I didn't realize it
was that many like kudos to
holly for for looking at
that and figuring that out
and posting that that is an insane stat
Really and truly like twenty
five people across however
many divisions that is like that's a lot.
Yeah, I looked at when it came through,
I looked at it and I was like, well, OK,
six more Masters athletes.
OK, I can see that.
And then as I went through this and went,
oh, good Lord,
all of those adaptive athletes.
Wait, there's another page.
Insane.
Insane.
And why is nobody else talking about that?
Because we have the best
stats and information
person in the business.
The fact that she found that,
just that she was able to
look at that and realize and go,
holy crap.
Yeah.
Twenty-five different people.
Yep.
And I'll tell you why nobody
else is talking about it.
Because there are two elite
athletes that are in this group,
and the rest are age group and adaptive.
And we're one of the few
shows that pay attention to
age group and adaptive.
Even still, I mean, Kevin Coaster is...
in in our masters community
is an absolute animal like
that dude is a beast I know
I know I know the name I've
seen pictures of him he's
he's ridiculous um caroline
everybody knows caroline
everybody respects caroline
as I did want to highlight
that too not just rant
about it but you know our
very own correct lydesdale
media's own carolyn privo
did win events one and two
in the thirty five to thirty nine
Yeah.
And, and people,
people love her and respect
her and they should like, she's a beast.
No question about it.
Um,
but it doesn't matter if they're in
that division, those divisions,
those are still,
those are still divisions.
Like you can only have two
people doing that in the open division.
Does that make sense?
Like if it's going to happen,
it's only going to happen for two people.
Aaron Frazier says the
people need adaptive
divisions are so small.
The folks at the top are so
much fitter than the rest.
I would agree with you if it was five.
Yeah.
Some of those divisions are
pretty competitive.
And if the fact that there
are six masters athletes
and two elite athletes that
both repeated as well,
And six math athletes over a
fairly wide range, right?
You got one.
These are teen girls down here.
The last two teens,
four masters still and
nineteen adaptive or seventeen adaptive.
That's that's that's wow.
It is.
You can't say, oh, well,
it's just Masters because those two,
the girls and the teens, there's a good,
strong possibility they
stay on the path and don't
do anything crazy, get burnt out,
whatever.
You're going to see them later on,
especially that Maria Granzino.
Well, and I...
I will tell you,
my belief is after workout three,
the leaderboard's going to
shake up huge because a lot
of the same athletes were
at the top for both one and two.
And they're probably not
going to be for three.
If it's anything we've been hearing.
Everybody keeps saying, like,
Colton's going to fall off.
Colton's going to fall off.
Colton's going to fall off.
Colton's going to fall off.
Depending on what it is,
you might be right.
They might absolutely be right.
I would venture to say I
lean more towards Miriam
falling off than Colton
just because I don't know
enough about her.
I love Colton,
but there are things he cannot do.
Yeah, and he's aware of that.
And every athlete has those things, right,
that they're not as good at.
Us short people are just not built to row.
That's all there is to it.
only person that matt
frazier tia and rich are
the only people that have
and even rich couldn't run
no rich said he he only
started enjoying I say
enjoying running here in
the last freaking five
seven years when he was
actually competing
individual he did not care
to run at all that was
evident triple three he
couldn't swim but he
figured that out pretty quick
Ain't dead.
I'm about to start swimming.
My stuff should be in today,
as a matter of fact.
My new goggles and my got me a swim cap,
Scott.
My hair on the wraps.
I never wore a swim cap, dude.
In all my years of swimming,
never wore a swim cap.
Scott,
I am so terrible at swimming that I
need every single advantage I can get.
So if I can cut down on
however much drag it is by
putting my hair up on the knee there,
that's what I'm going to do.
what I used to do is let my
hair grow long and then
when the big meat came,
I would cut my hair really short.
So training tools,
like having a parachute
while you're running.
Yeah.
We used to wear like,
we used to wear like gym
shorts in the water to, to train.
And then, um,
and then you'd wear your like tight,
whatever suit for the competition.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh,
Were you a Speedo guy, Scott,
or a Jammers?
I'm so old they didn't have Jammers.
Oh.
Yeah, it was Speedo only.
Damn.
When we had the first camp,
first off the camp that we
had swimming at,
I remember texting Brandon and asking him,
like,
do I really need to go get some Jammers?
And he was like, yes, go get some.
He said, if you're going to swim,
you can just swim and get some.
And I said, all right, well,
So I love them.
I mean, they're comfy.
They fit.
I don't know how much they
help or don't help,
but it definitely feels
better than just swimming in my shorts.
That's for sure.
Yeah.
And the technology they have in suits now,
but they're like five, six hundred bucks.
They actually will help you float.
God,
I don't know if there's a force on the
planet that can help me to float.
Yeah.
without some sort of actual
device that is made to help
somebody float.
Yeah.
Back in the day,
we had to kick hard to keep us afloat.
We will, me and the family will be at, uh,
Jennifer's cousin's got a pool.
We'll go over there and
we'll be in a pool at Dwayne's house.
And I'll swim a couple of
laps and come play with the kids.
And then, uh,
I'm just kind of in the
middle of the water and treading.
The first time my wife saw me doing that,
she's like,
why don't you just roll over and float?
And I said, I don't float.
She said, everybody floats.
And I was like, no, they really don't.
And I rolled over my back
and he immediately sunk to the bottom.
Like, I don't,
I don't float and I've done
everything everybody's ever
told me about.
I hate to tell you this,
but you should brag muscle doesn't float.
Yeah.
Even when I wasn't.
The leaner you are, the less you float.
Yeah.
See, Tristan understands.
I sink like a rock, dude.
Denise said there might be
one more because Pam Kusar
should be on the list for
sixty five to sixty nine.
But there's one crazy score that is not.
I keep so.
Being the guy that I am,
I keep looking at the rankings, right,
seeing where I'm at.
oh and I'm fine I'm in the
same final spot like I
really don't care but I'll
go start looking above me
and I go start looking at
their score look at their
score relative to like
their placing last year and
I'm like wow you have made
some improvements over the
course of a year impressive
like the guy that was in
second place for twenty five point two
was in eight thousand
finished eight thousand two
hundred and seventy
something last year in our
age group in the open and
somehow managed second on
the first workout hey good
job buddy that I want to
finish with one last thing
and we don't usually do
this type of thing on um on
our show but uh
I leave this up to the
hillers of the world, usually.
If I can find, yeah.
So I'm going to share this screen.
And I'm going to ask you one
quick question.
Hit me with it.
Are you ready?
Absolutely.
Natty or not?
Oh, no.
That is such a dramatic transformation.
Six weeks, dude.
And he's selling a new
programming so you can look like that.
Does it come with the
needles already prepped?
Like you don't have to put
the hydrostatic water in
them or whatever it's called?
Come on, man.
what is it we hustle hard or
we I don't hustle me you
don't quit we hustle or
whatever yeah whatever I
quit following him a long
time ago yeah I can't I
can't deal with this
content anymore uh and plus
he's he's just rude in
person man I believe it but
damn someone someone's
taking a peptide or two
yeah and look that's what
you want to do bro more
power to you don't care
It scares the shit out of me, Scott,
to put anything in my body
that I don't know what it is.
I've been telling you a billion times,
I want to be fit enough at
some point for somebody to
accuse me of being on some
sort of performance enhancing whatever.
Watching the Hiller videos,
he taught me that this part right here,
that trap there, ain't natural.
Let's blow that up.
Come on.
It's like this big around.
It looks like.
That's either a whole lot of
Photoshop or a whole lot of juice.
If it's Photoshop,
he did a damn fine job at it.
God bless him for it.
Yeah.
If I knew way less about pharmacokinetics,
I'd be so much more Jack
because I'd be on gear.
That's why it scares me so much, dude.
He has a beard,
so he can't see his jawline.
That's fantastic.
Denise, our awesome.
Sixty five plus division athlete.
You haven't seen my traps.
She must be yoked now.
It's so like I can't.
I can't do like I'd have to.
You understand?
Look, we had a random program,
a straight up pump session yesterday.
Snatched snatch pulls, bench press.
dumbbell bench press and
finish it off with bar dips.
And I got home and I wasn't,
and I felt like I was this
big around and turns out I was not.
You understand?
Tristan says the more you learn about it,
the more you realize you
can really F yourself up.
Yeah.
It's the only part of me that is my,
my guy is fluffy.
I think she meant my gut is fluffy.
Come on, Denise.
You are one of the biggest
inspirations I've ever met.
Denise is great.
Tristan is right.
That's what gets me is that
the more stuff I hear about it, right?
Or like even TRT, like, oh yeah,
you're probably going to
have to be on shots for the
rest of your life to keep your shit.
What's the word I'm looking for?
to keep yourself balanced
basically for the rest of your life.
And I'm like, bro,
I'm fixing to be forty eight right now.
I don't want a shot today,
much less one twenty years from now,
just because something I did today,
I'm going to be all right.
Like, I'll figure it out.
I'll work around it, whatever.
And if that's if that's why
I don't make it to the next
level I want to be at, then OK,
when I'm seventy five and
not sticking a needle in myself, then
I'll be I feel like I have
won the game at that point
listen at there was a point
in my life I wanted to be
jacked now I just want to
uh not have my back hurt
when I sit in a weird way
right yeah like that's my
goal enough exercise to
keep me where I can pick up
off the floor I can get up
off the toilet that's what
uh greg glassman said like
I want to be you want to be able to
Get up off the toilet and
wipe your own ass whenever
you're eighty-five years old.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I can't do it with the opposite hand.
I tried after Kat said that.
I'm going to try today.
I'm going to try today.
I'm going to text her and
tell her I know how it went.
Yeah.
All right.
This is what they find, Scott.
They tested me right now.
Whatever's in here,
I'm definitely going to
test positive for that.
What brand is that?
That's Ghost.
Uh,
Denise does enough so she can get out
of bed without rocking my phone.
Yeah.
There you go.
Yeah.
A hundred percent Denise.
Absolutely.
Like I don't want to have to do this.
Yeah.
Every time you get out of a
seat just to get up out of bed,
like when I was five hundred pounds, man,
that was my life and I have
not gotten back there.
And I'm so glad I am a
strong ass squatter that
can get up off of a chair.
can wipe my own ass and I
can bend and pick things up
off the floor now and
that's that's good that's
winning baby boy so oh yeah
