welcome to lunchtime it's

our lunch hour here every

weekday we come on live

lunch with the clydesdale

what's going on what's up

corey good to see you in

the chat so good to be with

you guys today um I will

tell you this I did

yesterday and I am sore

holy smokes uh I woke up

In the middle of the night

last night to go pee,

and it was a chore hobbling

to the bathroom.

My glutes and my hamstrings

are legit fried from that

workout yesterday.

It's a workout that made me

very proud of the effort I

put in on that.

I did way better than I

thought I was going to do.

But man, I am paying for it today.

What's up, Andrew?

What's up, Denise?

CrossFat, good to see you guys.

Man.

Man, last night's show was so good, too.

We went over everything last night.

We bounced around the different topics.

We went long last night.

It was our biggest show ever.

And I thank you guys for that.

If you missed it last night,

great discussion about the Open.

uh and everything that's

going on in space we didn't

even get through half of

our what we I put down a

rundown every week we it's

just notes that if we like

need to remember something

it's there um but ideally

we just start talking and

you guys start talking back

to us and that just becomes

the show not really the

rundown but it's just a

template to kind of get

going we didn't even

we didn't even hit fifty

percent of the rundown last

night um so crazy but so

good so good what's up

james um uh denise I was

just watching last night's

show didn't get through the

whole show yet because this

show started hey come live

we yeah I love the

interaction of this show

and we just get to hang out

at lunch together and talk

about what's going on um

Yeah,

just like hanging out with you guys

every day.

So I talked about it a

little bit last night on the show.

I didn't get into super specifics,

but I did twenty five point three.

I was able to do it.

We talked a little bit about

how when you turn fifty five, the scaling,

the weights comes down.

That helped me tremendously.

The deadlift is one eighty five.

The clean was ninety five.

The snatch was seven.

Sixty five.

It was it was insane.

It was not.

it was not easy.

And really like my biggest

fear was that the weights

were so light that I would

go way too fast and I would,

I would die out engine wise

really early in that workout.

Um,

my goal was to make it to the snatches.

I ended up almost making it

back to the row.

Um,

got through all the snatches

got two wall walks needed

three more to get to the

row and I was telling um

carolyn and jamie after we

went off the air last night

like like I wanted to get

on that rower so bad but I

the way I was feeling in

that moment like I I knew

that rower was gonna hurt

hurt tremendously when I

got on there because my

my um my glutes and

hamstrings and lower back

were fried from picking

that barbell up off the

floor so many times if you

guys have been following us

you know like I've been

doing a lot um I've been

doing a lot more body

weight stuff while my wife

was recovering um

Thankfully,

I've been doing a lot of

push-up progressions,

trying to get my push-ups stronger,

which really helped with the wall walks.

But I haven't been lifting a

lot of barbells off the floor.

And that was where I got fried.

I talked to Lana Marcin on

Saturday night and I told

her my fear of like going too fast.

And she's like,

sets a five on the deadlift,

step back to take a breath.

And that's what I did.

And then I went singles for

everything in the barbell

and just tried to follow

the bar down and just go

like in a steady pace.

But I find that not having

to return the bar to the

floor saves my back.

And I really needed that.

On this, I mean,

I've had twelve procedures on my back,

surgically repaired.

I need to do everything I can to save that,

and it held up.

It held up,

but today I am walking wounded for sure.

So I think I'm going to get

on the assault bike here

this afternoon and just

kind of flush some stuff out,

take a little bit of a rest day,

and then get back after it tomorrow.

Denise said the scaled wall

walks were a bit silly, but

that's fine with this taller person.

Yeah.

Um, what's crazy to me, Denise is like,

I was, I thought for sure to do this RX,

I was going to have to do a

full wall walk.

I was, I knew,

I figured they were coming in the open.

I was doing a lot of pushups,

a lot of pushup progressions,

getting back to like

getting into fully inverted

and doing some wall walks.

Um,

and then when I found out it was scaled

for fifty five plus an RX, I was like,

dang, but the last time I did them,

they were so hard because

the sixty inch line is out

in front of my face.

And like, so I'm pressing out in front.

And when you're a little bit

bigger athlete,

that that's a little bit tough.

Lana's like, hey,

I just looked at the standards.

You only have to go to the

fifty five inch line.

And I was like,

that made such a big

difference for me and probably is why I,

I did around better than I

thought I was going to do.

Um,

because those being back a little bit

more, um, it just made it easier to,

to hold the press,

get my feet on the wall and then bang,

bang, bang, bang.

Um, that was pretty good.

Denise's husband has L three

through L five fused quite

the surgery and back scar.

Yeah.

I, I didn't have anything that invasive.

I had stuff where they went

in laparoscopically and,

and fix some things that way.

I haven't had to have a fusion yet.

Thank goodness.

So yeah, I, I lucked out there.

andrew it's weird the only

time the fifty five inch

line is mentioned for

masters fifty five plus and

scaled is in the photos

it's not mentioned in the

written standards um yeah

it's in the I think I I

think I found it on the

scorecard uh I think it was

on the scorecard um I saw

it somewhere after denise

mentioned it um so uh

Jodi Lynn,

I had a disectomy and I was good

to go and good ever since.

Yeah,

this last thing that they did for me.

So I had a bulging disc.

It was on my sciatic nerve.

And they actually ablated

the nerve and then trimmed the disc.

And I haven't had any problems since.

That was...

Maybe.

So I've been at it for like

maybe twenty one.

So four or five years I've

had it repaired and I've

and it's been pretty good.

I'm hoping that it stays

good because when it was bad,

it was really bad.

I struggled from two

thousand sixteen to seventeen,

really tried to push that

sixteen sixteen to twenty or twenty one.

And I tried to push through

it a couple of times and I

think I just made it worse.

So, yeah.

So glad that I am where I am today.

Um, so looking at the leaderboard, um,

I'm going to show that real quick.

There's some really funky scores out here.

Hopefully CrossFit gets

those fixed pretty good.

Um, but like at number one,

we have co Kosa young, uh,

who is eleven thousand five

hundred and tenth in the world.

I don't think she all of a

sudden got super fit and is

now first at a nine eleven.

Um,

And then we have VAR, Thurman, Moe,

Amanda jobs, Grace Walton.

Feast of coffee.

Now we're getting into some of the names.

Amy Kringle, Hannah Hardy,

Sarah Sigmundsdottir, Brooke Wells,

Daniel Brandon, Emily DeRoy,

Alexis Raptus, Christine Best,

Caitlin Bernadine, Emily Rolfe,

Samantha Pugh.

So the scores are coming in.

These are your top fifty.

Sung Young Choi,

Charlie's favorite CrossFitter.

bethany flores sahir kaya

gabrielle spence one of our

favorites here um so yeah

So top fifty looks like twelve,

eighteen or better to get

there or some of your times.

And of course,

that first score just can't

be legit to go from where

she was to that score just

is not feasible.

So hopefully they will get

that fixed shortly.

Corey, as someone with Trex arms,

I can confirm the start

line for wall walks is pretty far.

What's going on, Craig?

Lynn, good to see you.

Jody,

I haven't had one second to look over

the leaderboard.

Glad you're going over it.

course it's not complete uh

everybody has until eight

o'clock eastern time

tonight five p.m pacific to

get their scores in uh so

we're awaiting that uh but

we're getting a little bit

fuller today on the men's

side we have again some

really hokey scores in the

top three positions um

people who are ranked three

thousand two hundred twenty

six thousand and seventeen

thousand are in the top

three spots for this workout

There is no way that someone did an eight,

fifteen on that workout.

If you saw Dallin or Colton, eight,

fifteen is impossible.

Flat out.

Just saying.

But we have James Sprague,

or not James Sprague.

We have Dallin Pepper still in first.

If you take out those three, James Sprague,

Jason Hopper.

If anybody watched Kill Taylor,

you know that Colton beat James and Jason,

so he's going to fall at

least into second place.

Kael Lehman, Aldis Upenix, Jay Crouch,

Ty Jenkins, Ricky Garrard.

Travis Mayer, Jack Rosema, Bill Leahy IV,

Sam Cornway.

Man,

Sam Cornway has been at the top of

this leaderboard in the top

fifty at least every week.

Taylor Self.

Roman Krennikoff, Chris Ibarra, Enola Kai,

Enrico Zanoni.

Here's another one that probably is not,

you don't jump from thirty

thousandth in the world to

one of the top fifty on this workout.

Guillaume Briand, Tanner Balazs,

Alex Vigneault, Con Porter.

Con Porter making an appearance.

George Sterner.

And that is your, uh, top four,

fifty on the men's side.

A lot of people haven't seen Corey says,

I haven't looked at the

leaderboard since I went to

bed Saturday night.

Uh,

it's changing a lot each hour as more

updates come in.

And, uh, Nika has had an awesome open.

Um, Lynn, is that an,

is that a male or a female Nika Nika?

Oh, there we go.

Nika, he's probably in sixteenth place.

That's pretty nice.

Yeah, that's a great open.

Yeah, really good.

So it'll be interesting to

see how it all kind of

shakes out after all the

scores are in tonight.

Tomorrow we'll have an idea

as to who the leaders are

after everybody puts their

scores in and see who's

kind of winning the Open.

If Colton has beat James and Jason,

that looks like Colton will

wrap up probably the Open victory.

With Dallin maybe coming in second,

it would be my prediction.

But we'll have to wait and

kind of see how it plays out for sure.

Craig, Fee has been very impressive also.

Yes.

Yeah.

I think what's hard, like,

And I don't want to get off

on a rant on this, but like,

I hate the leaks.

I hate the leaks fees.

Part of that brute camp.

If the brute athletes knew

what that workout was ahead of time,

which the circumstantial

evidence is piling up that they did.

The fact that they know that

and can work on this stuff

and strategize ahead of

time is just not fair.

And I love fee, love Dallin, love James.

I like Jason.

I just don't know him as well, but my gosh,

like having this stuff

ahead of time is a definite advantage.

And you can see that on the leaderboard,

but what happens like down

the road when they don't know, right?

Like, I don't know.

It's crazy.

Corey says,

I'm staying off until this evening.

Ain't shit I can do about my

placement at this point,

and I don't like seeing it bounce around.

So, Corey,

are you close to the one percent

line or the two hundred line?

Is it two hundred for Masters, right?

So.

Yeah.

See,

I've never had to worry about my

getting to the next level.

So that's never been a thing for me.

I said it last night that

since I've had the back surgery,

the best I've finished in

the open is in the twelfth percentile,

which was still level one.

That was kind of disappointing.

This year, going into the final workout,

I was in the sixteenth percentile.

And I was excited about that.

And the last workout went

better for me than I anticipated.

And I'm hoping I'm hoping

that I actually improve on that sixteen.

And it would be if I got a level two,

I would be so excited to

get a level two because

I've been a level one since

they brought out the levels.

I would really,

really be stoked if I hit level two.

And so that's the only thing

that I'm kind of waiting on

is everybody get their scores in.

So I know what percentile I

am at the end of this and hopefully,

hopefully make a level two.

I know it's a little thing,

and a lot of people are

better athletes than me at

this point in my life.

I just love seeing that improvement,

and it's a goal that I have,

and then I can move forward

with that into the Community Cup.

So Larry will probably be in

that level with me.

Hey, good company to be with.

I get to hang out with Larry Young.

Just hope they don't bring

in a heavy barbell.

He'll crush me.

Uh, Denise,

I'm holding my breath on redos

and ten athletes that haven't posted yet.

So why are you saying that Denise?

Are you sitting in a very

good position on the, on the leaderboard?

Let's see where Denise is on

the leaderboard.

Denise is sitting in first place.

First place with a fifteen

fifty eight in the sixty

five to sixty nine.

Let's show that off.

Since she is one of.

One of our very own.

There sits Denise Moore,

twenty five point three first place.

She has had a heck of an

open with opening up with a

thirteenth and then a fourth,

and now sitting with a

fifth with a little bit of time to go.

So hopefully she pulls that off.

Larry says, don't worry,

they won't have a heavy barbell.

D. Reed says,

I don't even know what the levels are.

Most of us don't.

This is the first time they

have made a little bit of

sense since we're now

moving into the Community

Cup where the levels will

compete against each other.

Levels one and two will be a group.

Levels three and four, five and six,

seven and eight, and nine and ten.

And so it's basically

grouping the whole Open together.

after your open scores,

moving you forward into the community cup,

where you will then compete

against people of the same

level grouping.

And then each workout will

be modified for each level.

So it'll be fun.

Can't wait.

uh denise said I almost

redid the workout because I

watched my video and I was

walking from station to

station no urgency at all

isn't it funny when you

look at a video and you

think you were doing it one

way and um and it wasn't at

all what you pictured in

your head uh jody says

crossfit celebrity in the

chat wow congrats lady

Yeah.

Denise is Denise is a bad-ass.

She was a big star of the

behind the scenes at the

masters CrossFit games that we did.

She's been on the show a couple of times.

She has an awesome story,

an awesome story of

something she overcame that

we have an episode with her post legends,

three.

Yeah.

It came out,

the episode came out in

January of twenty four.

Just a fascinating lady

overcame so much total badass.

And I think she's podiumed

at the games a handful of

times herself there.

So.

Corey,

he's waiting on that two percent

minimum two hundred to move on to semis.

He's so much fitter than he was last year.

Corey's going to do it.

Corey was thirty seventh or

thirty ninth late Saturday night.

I won't look.

I'll let I'll let it stay a

secret till tonight, dude.

Denise just podiumed once.

Still one more time than me.

So, yeah.

So, twenty-two, twenty-five.

I keep doing it.

Why am I saying twenty-two?

Twenty-five point three.

Almost in the books.

We'll recap it all tomorrow

when everything is final.

What else did I have?

Oh, behind the scenes, man.

Behind the scenes came out yesterday.

On Sunday, I was...

it was crazy because I do a

lot of show prep before

sunday night because that's

our biggest show of the

week and I was going

through a bunch of the wfp

stuff and then bam I get

the notifier that behind

the scenes is out and with

the way they've been doing

it this year you only have

like a couple minutes or

not a couple hours

sometimes to watch it and

then it gets pulled um

And so I went and watched it

and just wanted to give my thoughts.

They've done an amazing job

with that series this year

with everything they were facing.

This fourth episode, though,

is the first time we kind

of see some of the athletes

not happy about being there.

Some of the athletes still

happy to be there and glad

that they're kind of giving

back to the community.

And some...

voicing concerns and glad

that like family members

didn't come or that they're there.

They would rather be somewhere else.

And most of it happens

around the Chad workout.

I think all of it happens

around the Chad workout.

You also see some of the

things that the athletes go through.

I think it's Ruan Potguider

who has blood under his

nails on his feet.

And they actually show Dr. Sean Rockett

putting a hole in the nail

to release the pressure to

see if he can compete in

Chad or move on through the

competition because the

pressure was so bad on his toes.

But it really does kind of

show a contrast that there

seems to be this group of

athletes who felt the need

to heal with the community.

And there's like a group of

athletes that just didn't

want to be there anymore.

And it was, I think,

kind of fascinating to see how that went.

And I think that...

And it's probably not

completely one hundred percent this way,

but it's something we've

kind of been talking about.

Those that are attached to a

CrossFit community.

Seem to want to move forward

with the community.

Those that aren't

necessarily attached all

the time with a community

seem to want to leave and

be with family and stuff like that.

And it doesn't mean that I'm

saying one is good and one is bad,

but you want to be around

people that you trust and

you're around with all the time.

And if you're not connected

to a community generally,

your community is...

your family and you want to

be with your family.

And,

and so it just was an interesting

cross section of the way

that the athletes kind of

were splitting on that

Saturday of the games.

Lynn says, wait, I missed that.

What episode was this you watched?

This was a behind the scenes,

sevens behind the scenes of

the CrossFit Games.

It released yesterday.

They've only been putting

them up for a couple hours.

I think because of some of

the controversy around the

games this year.

And so they only live up on

YouTube for a few hours and

then they get pooled.

Sorry,

I turned for just like two minutes

and missed it.

It's okay, Lynn.

It's all right.

Dee Reed says,

Ricky proved himself to be very likable.

It was an interesting

contrast to some who shall not be named.

Yeah, I mean,

I think Ricky has always been likable.

I've just had a problem this

season because I'm close

with Justin Kotler.

He left Kotler to go to Proven.

And I'm probably having more

issue with it than Justin is,

him leaving.

But I'm having a problem

with Ricky in that respect.

But every interaction I've

had with Ricky since he's come back,

he has been very likable.

um craig says bts episode

four was great um and craig

says ricky mack is very

likable asusi and ricka

ricky were great you are

spot on with the community

connection yeah it it did

seem to kind of hold true

um it did seem to hold true

that way D read.

Cause, um,

and it's just something I noticed.

Yes.

Um, so Sousa and then his roommate, uh,

there's a lot of them kind

of like cooling down on an exercise,

but on a echo bike, um,

It was interesting to kind

of see their relationship.

They coach at the same gym,

they train together,

but they can't really train

together because one, one is coaching,

one is training and then vice versa.

But it was interesting to

kind of hear that dynamic through that.

Jody said,

are the comments turned off on BTS?

So you can still comment on the video,

like at the bottom of the screen,

but there's no live chat

because it's a video.

So there's nobody to see your live chat.

But,

but you can go down below and comment

and people have,

I've commented on a few of them.

Yeah.

It's open to do that.

If that's what you mean.

you mean live comments

because it's not a live

broadcast those are not

turned on but um really

interesting and again um

something that we you know

it take it took a little

bit of the speculation out

of it because savan has

done a good job in these

first four episodes kind of showing um

just kind of showing what

was going on behind the

scenes during this tragedy

during everything that's

going on and I was there in

the arena and some of that

stuff I wasn't even aware

of so it was good to see uh

what was happening there

and it's really kind of

closed some some loopholes

for me um and I'm really

appreciative that he was

able to put these out

Craig says,

Colton just uploaded a YouTube video.

It is a take two on the

twenty five point three workout.

Wow.

He had done it twice.

Kill Taylor was the second

time he'd done it.

So if he did a third time, insane.

Insane.

So it is the kill Taylor for

twenty five three.

Yeah, that would I mean,

that was good enough to be

second in the world.

So I can't imagine him

unless he and I don't know

where he would make up the

time to beat Dallin.

He was still off by twenty seconds, maybe.

Um, so anyway, yeah,

I'll have to check it out.

I did watch his day in the

life that frog grips put out.

Um,

I don't think it was anything earth

shattering there.

Um, if you've been following Colton,

you knew a lot of it.

Uh, but it was kind of cool to see, um,

how, where he keeps his dogs,

how he keeps the pups, um,

stuff like that.

Uh,

Kenneth says he did this last week to

uploaded one,

then uploaded right before submission, uh,

right before the submission deadline.

Uh, D Reed,

didn't he say he did it faster

the first time?

I don't know that he did.

And cause he,

he started videotaping the

weights and everything afterwards.

So I don't know why he would

do that if the other one was good.

Um,

know we'll see um I was I

was trying to listen to see

if he said I don't think he

ever answered the question

I think he avoided it cory

said a day in the life of

colton merton surprised

he's a farmer yeah it's

kind of that uh all the

sponsor short videos on

colton lee me wanting more yeah

Yeah,

I think us CrossFit nerds want the

More episodes
