What is going on, everybody?
We got live college playoff football
tonight.
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.
Eeeeee, abadaba!
it's lunch time what is going on everybody
welcome to lunch with the clydesdale
Cowboys back for a second day.
We're going to talk about some CrossFit
stuff,
but I want to start it off with
Ole Miss Miami tonight, seven thirty p.m.
First playoff game of eight this weekend.
Win or go home games from tonight through
Monday and the Ole Miss running rebels
minus Lane Kiffin.
are still alive in the final four of
the college football playoffs.
Lane's sitting there in LSU trying to muck
up the system and take coaches back and
do all this stuff.
And I think all it's doing is galvanizing
the Ole Miss team to say, hey,
we can do this without you.
Look, more power to them.
More power to them.
It's an SEC school.
That's all I care about right now.
So good on them.
I hope they do well.
I hope they win every single down.
I hope they score plenty of touchdowns and
win the game.
Good for them.
Mark Phillips says, what a mucker.
Yeah, I, it is so like,
I know the schedule,
it makes things like impossible in this
situation,
but the reality of the situation is lane
goes to LSU because he says LSU gives
them a better chance to win a national
championship.
And the team he left is sitting in
the final four and,
and they're the higher ranked team in this
game tonight that goes to the national
championship game.
It's insanity.
College football has flipped on its head.
There's no Alabama.
There's no Ohio State.
There's no Clemson.
There's none of those traditional big-time
schools in the finals.
And I think it's awesome.
None of the guys that have been hanging
around like the past however many years
you want to put on it.
I mean, Ohio State's always up there.
Alabama, obviously, this century,
you would say,
since the early two thousand,
since basically since Saban got there,
turned their program completely around and
turned them into what they are now.
They're out, which in my opinion,
they never should have been there in the
first place.
So take that for what it is.
Georgia also been dominant,
super dominant out.
And it's funny to me to watch the
people comment on Instagram and whatnot.
Oh, the SEC, it just means more.
as if for the last fifteen years SEC
hasn't been the absolute dominant force on
the in the college football just landscape
like yeah dude the last two years it's
been a couple down years congratulations
you guys are winning stuff good for you
without acknowledging the fact that it's
been SEC SEC SEC SEC SEC yeah
Jay Birch, a century.
Yes.
This century is only a couple decades old.
Yeah, this century.
That's what I meant.
Yeah, since the two thousands.
So just to clarify,
the two thousands are only twenty five
years old.
Right.
So I understand, Birch,
because in my head,
nineteen ninety five is still fifteen
years ago, but it's not.
Yeah.
So I understand that.
But it had we did turn a century
whenever we knew Y to K,
that whole thing.
So tonight we have the team that got
spurned by its head coach versus the team
that was said they shouldn't be in the
playoffs and Notre Dame should be there
instead.
even though they beat Notre Dame.
And then tomorrow night we have Mark Cuban
money versus Nike money.
My money's on Mark Cuban.
My money's on Mark Cuban at this point.
Dude, Kurt Cignetti is awesome.
He is fantastic.
All the highlights of him at press
conferences and stuff like that,
he's like, I'm a winner.
Google me.
That's one of the coldest things I've ever
heard a coach say in the past fifteen,
twenty years at least.
At least.
David Reed, Corey,
we're no longer friends.
Clock cutter.
SEC has overrated.
All the fans have left.
It's Alabama from a decade ago.
It's really been a big ten couple years,
man.
michigan ohio state winning national
titles two big ten schools in the final
four and i live in big ten country
penn state is a big ten school i'm
a big ten guy you're an sec guy
um and that is they're the two best
conferences in the country and they're but
i am anxious to see what this whole
new college football looks like with all
the money coming in
Because if you can flip Indiana around
from where they were two years ago with
Cuban money, crazy.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
I mean,
the timeline on the whole Indiana thing
is, first of all,
Indiana has been a basketball school.
I'm forty-eight years old.
I didn't even know Indiana had a football
team.
Indiana's a basketball school.
Hoosiers.
It's a whole ass movie about what?
Indiana basketball.
Yep.
The only reason I knew Indiana had a
football team is it was like a warm-up
game for the bigger games in the Big
Ten.
And now it's not.
Now it's,
you're going to get punched in the mouth.
Yeah, it's going to happen.
It's going to happen.
Jody's sister went to the University of
Indiana.
Oh, there you go.
The next few years for us,
you are looking rough.
Sig is recruiting real talent.
They will win the natty with low talent.
Imagine what they will do with talent.
Yeah.
And dude,
those checks from Cuban are rolling in.
Holy crap, man.
It changes everything.
Texas Tech and the oil money,
Cuban and his money, Nike.
It's going to be Oregon and Texas Tech
and Indiana.
They're going to be major players in this
thing.
We got chicken finger money down here.
Chicken finger and ambulance chaser,
injury lawyer.
That's what I was looking for.
Personal injury lawyer money.
um uh anderson i think they should make
different ncaa divisions depending on how
much nil money a school has it will
come to a point where there are maybe
a dozen schools that run everything due to
the money but andrew we were coming out
of an era where it was a dozen
schools that ran everything because of
their history and their name and the money
because they had the best facilities
Like Alabama's facility is off the chain.
LSU's facilities are off the chain.
That's how they were recruiting all the
best kids.
And they were able to make them take
the step to the NFL.
That's why people went there.
It's just the money has changed to where
now you can directly recruit and pay the
players to come to your school.
So it's not like...
I would say there's actually more parity
now with the Wild Wild West than there
was five years ago with LSU and Alabama
and Ohio State and Clemson.
There was really only four schools that
could win it every year.
If you saw the,
or at least part of the Coach O
interview,
or one of the Coach O interviews from
a couple weeks ago or whatnot, he said,
the only difference now is that we used
to bring the money in through the back
door,
and now we can bring the money in
through the front door.
He said that's the main difference as far
as that goes.
Phil Knight has more money than Cuban and
has made it his life goal to have
Ducks win the national championship,
and he's only running out of days.
Here's the thing.
You're absolutely right.
He one hundred percent has done that and
they still have not done it yet.
Understand, as always, disagrees with me.
But that's why I love him, man,
because we can have these discussions.
If you are a non-revenue sports athlete,
the best option is to not go to
a power five school unless the Olympics
are in your future.
Scholarships are yearly now.
If that dude, like I keep in like,
you know,
a couple of the LSU pages that I
follow on Instagram,
then they're updating as we get people
signed in, which is, it,
it looks like a transfer wire,
which is what it is,
but like for the NFL or professional
baseball or whatever else,
like it's the off season and, oh,
we signed this person.
Oh, we signed this person.
That was never a thing.
If you transfer it in,
you had to sit out a year.
Yeah.
Well,
I think that's enough of the college
football talk.
We'll get into some CrossFit stuff because
we have a lot on the docket today.
Don't forget to like and subscribe to the
channel.
But I will be watching the game tonight
and the game tomorrow night and all the
games over the weekend.
I wanted to start with,
I texted you last night.
CrossFit put out a video of James Sprague
taking his L-tube.
which I still did not get a chance
to watch it, but it is,
it is awesome because it's a great
illustration of what the L two is about,
I believe.
And, um,
and James is very open to being, um,
constructively criticized over his
coaching.
And so I'm just going to share like
a ten second piece of this.
So you can kind of get an idea
of how the L two went for James.
They're better trainers.
Now we're not going to get the perfect
position with low load.
So just do your best here.
What I want you guys to go through
here.
Okay, pause.
Take a breath, my friend.
Most people forget to drive.
What they do is they... Okay, okay, pause,
pause.
In life,
do you feel like you talk a lot
or too little?
I talk way too much.
Yep.
It's a challenging and sometimes a scary
environment for people.
But everybody who shows up at these
courses are remarkable.
For the front rack position,
with a strict press,
you're actually going to keep your elbows
a little bit lower.
So what I want to see,
instead of pressing your elbows through as
much as you can,
find that hybrid position where your
elbows.
So if the floor is there.
your forearm is there so let me see
that good for our position okay pause i
want to say first i'm still going to
say that was ninety seconds to say get
your elbows under the car so that was
awesome um so awesome to kind of watch
him go through that and and i know
when i first started coaching i was a
blabbermouth
Like I wanted to hit all the points,
right, all the points.
And she's like, ninety seconds to say,
get your elbows under the bar.
I check myself,
especially with new people when I'm
coaching,
because I will do the same thing.
And I will stop and say, look,
I know I'm throwing a whole lot of
information at you right now.
Let me back up.
And we're just going to this is the
only thing we're going to focus on right
now.
That for me, that works a whole lot.
Like, Hey, well, let me stop.
Cause I know I just threw, you know,
I said,
different words that maybe five of them
made sense.
Let me back up a little bit and
let's, let's,
let's break this down and get it to
what's the most base thing that's gonna
help you right this second.
And then we can move on from there.
Yeah.
So that part of the video is the
beginning of day one.
And it goes all the way through day
two.
And then there's a dramatic difference in
the way James coaches from the beginning
of day one until you get to the
end of day two.
And he even says at the end,
like I came in thinking like I knew
a lot.
And at the end of the weekend,
like I had a lot to learn.
Yeah.
If you've not seen it,
it's on the CrossFit YouTube channel.
Go check it out.
It's only ten minutes long,
but it's jacked full of really cool
moments.
And I think they did an excellent job
putting this out.
I can't wait.
I'm going to do mine when my L-One
expires in October.
So I'm going to sign up and get
mine renewed and go ahead and do that.
It's going to be great.
I'm like,
I'm kind of bummed because my L-One
expired eight days ago.
Nope.
eight days ago.
And I, and I feel like,
I feel like a little piece of me
is missing now,
even though I don't use it at all.
Like I don't judge anymore.
I don't coach anymore.
I don't do any of those things.
But I,
so I couldn't justify paying the thousand
dollars to,
to like do it again,
because I've done it twice.
I've had my one since twenty fifteen.
It's twenty twenty five now.
So I had it for ten years and
now all of a sudden I don't have
it and it just feels weird.
So I am fairly certain that you could
have gotten your L two or you still
can, because you already have your L one.
Like you don't have to go do redo
your L one.
You can just go take that.
You can just go take the L two
now.
Um, which even though you're not coaching,
like I'm,
I'm certain it would still help you as
an athlete.
Right.
cues, whatnot,
things you don't think about necessarily
being able to move and whatnot.
It's pretty good stuff.
And yes, Ken Walters.
Yeah.
I mean, it could be,
it could have been a tax deduction,
but like,
I need to spend my money on this
venture.
What I'm doing now,
make sure like you have microphones like
Carolyn and Jamie are set up all of
those types of things.
And that's where my priority is because I
don't need an L one to do media.
And I have the knowledge.
I took the course twice,
passed it both times.
Right.
Um,
Jody,
it would be a tax deduction for me
because it would be a business expense.
It would be related to what we do
here.
I could talk about it,
things of that nature.
For the money I get paid to coach,
I get whatever tax form it is at
the end of the year as an independent,
you know,
What I did,
I didn't realize that I could write off
so much stuff to kind of offset that
thing because I'm, you know,
in addition to my actual job,
I have another job, which is coaching.
So like my registration fees, shoes,
grips, like pick a thing.
If it's CrossFit related,
it is helping me become a better coach.
Therefore, I can write it off.
It's fantastic.
Yeah.
Ten ninety nine.
Everybody's saying you can write off so
many things.
Thank you.
You don't work.
Bite it, CJ.
Yeah.
Oh, that's correct for you.
It's a tax deduction.
Not for me.
I get it.
Yes.
Yeah.
I don't know how you would correlate to
now one to cabinet making selling.
Probably probably not.
Probably not.
I mean, you could write,
you could figure some stuff out.
So to answer Andrew's question,
do those write-offs actually do a lot?
I don't know yet.
Because last year I didn't.
Right.
And it affected our tax return because it
was, I mean, I just get paid.
Like I don't know what taxes get taken
out of them whenever they write me a
check.
But I have a very good friend of
mine who has been telling me more than
once, like, dude,
write down everything you do.
You know, you have,
I got digital receipts for everything he
said,
and it's going to make a difference at
the end of the year.
So we'll find out here shortly.
Yeah.
Like,
For my business, the media business,
I write off everything.
My travel to Knoxville to go to Syndicate,
all that, the gas, the mileage,
all that kind of stuff.
Mileage is huge for events.
Plane tickets, hotels, whatever it takes.
Yeah.
I got all of that this year.
I got two travels, one to Arizona,
one to Kansas City, Airbnbs.
I mean, food, picket, name a thing.
So pretty excited about that.
We'll see.
So the last little bit I want to
talk about with James is, you know,
him and Hopper and Dallin and Justin,
the boys interrupted are really like,
I think,
changing the face of the modern athlete.
And I think it's reverting back to that
old school approach where CrossFit and the
athletes are working hand in hand.
And I think what it's doing for them
and their
their gosh i don't know image their um
i know what you're getting across you know
what
they're getting more followers are getting
more like, because,
because of the partnership they're,
they're creating with CrossFit.
And I think it's really changing the game
for the modern athlete.
And if I'm an athlete and I'm watching
them do their thing and how much CrossFit
is using them in videos and exposure,
exposure was a word I was looking for.
But I think it's authentic.
It has to stay.
You can't be doing it just to get
exposure.
You have to be doing it because you
love doing this stuff.
And you could tell watching this video
that James was really excited about
learning more and becoming a better coach.
And I think that is really, really cool.
And if I'm an athlete,
I would look at this stuff going, man,
I need to do more of that instead
of hiding in my whole training all the
time.
Correct.
Yeah.
Well, so I think I feel like anyway,
part of the huge growth that we have
was that you could see these games
athletes,
you could see the Rich Fronings and the
Chris Spielers of the world and whatnot
out there doing their thing on the
competition floor.
And then you could also see them doling
out L ones being on seminar staff.
And that's a lot more relatable.
they're out there and they're actually in
the trenches in coaching and owning
affiliates and whatnot that's a whole lot
more relatable knowing that hey they can
they actually do both things at the time
so like james james getting his l too
that's a fantastic thing hey he's actually
a coach he's not just like you said
buried in his place doing his training
head down moving moving along and whatnot
he is he's more like one of us
he's more he's actually a normal dude
You know, he's got faults.
He's not fantastic at everything.
I mean, you just saw it.
She stopped him twice.
You know, twice just to let you know.
Yeah.
Oh, I bet.
James is like a giant puppy dog.
He's chasing a car the entire time.
And I just figured out, oh, shit,
I caught it.
I don't know what to do now.
But not just James.
Like,
Dallin went and did the military base
training with Dave and coached the
classes.
Yeah.
you know,
hoppers doing more and more media and
working with everybody.
Justin did those drop-ins all the way to
Waterpalooza where he stopped in at a
different affiliate the whole way on his
trip from,
was it Utah or Utah down to California?
Yeah.
Like that's awesome.
Like that's stuff that,
that you would see rich do.
And rich still does to this day.
Like he goes on a trip and he
stops in at mayhem affiliates along the
way.
They find they'll plan their trip
sometimes around that.
Hey, we're going to stop at this place,
you know,
so we'll stay here instead of there
because we can stop at this place since
they may have an affiliate.
Can you imagine just like going to your
regular eight o'clock class in the morning
and there's Rich Froning and Angelou and
whoever else is with them,
like just drop it in.
It's fantastic.
Well, you know,
I was thinking about it a little bit.
When Justin first came on in the twenty
twenty games and it was hanging on the
runs with Matt and all that stuff like
he was very likable.
Right.
Here's this kid coming out of nowhere
doing his thing.
And then he won.
And I found him not to be likable
anymore.
I feel like he kind of got in
his own head and like what he had
to do to retain the title.
And was he going to like go on
for years like Matt or.
And the thing was he never won events.
He never dominated the game.
So everything was like by a fine line.
Now he's doing all this stuff for the
community and like he is so likable again.
He has totally flipped the script for me
on how I feel about him as an
athlete and as a person.
Think about it.
Think about it.
Ten more games athletes did that.
Not all of them,
but not all of them are going to
do it.
It's not going to happen,
but just ten more.
Four or five more from the female side
and three or four more,
whatever the case may be,
from the male side.
How much more engagement that's going to
be?
How much more forward-facing that's going
to be?
How much just leading from the front?
You know, hey, yeah, I'm a games athlete.
Yes,
I'm one of the fittest people on the
face of the planet,
but I am also a dude, right?
The more you get to know these people,
the more that you understand them better,
the easier it is to follow,
and the more engagement you're going to
get from people who are not huge fans
of the sport or even don't pay attention
to the sport.
You can say – because you can look
to –
You're an average person,
whatever you want to call that, and go,
yeah, that guy won the games last year,
and he's at this affiliate over here.
He's talking to these people.
Because regular professional athletes
don't do stuff like that.
Or if they do,
it's for a photo op, right?
Not just dropping in to go coach just
because I have time.
I don't have anything else to do.
I should do this.
It's going to be good for everybody.
Yeah, no, that's a fantastic thing, dude.
And I think it will one hundred percent
help to grow,
get people back in affiliates, you know,
get it, get numbers up.
I mean, it's outstanding, dude.
Frida says that's really athletes paying
it forward.
It is.
And it's awesome.
Sean in Oregon,
I appreciate the elite CrossFit athletes
interacting with the community.
I think everybody does.
Like it just gives you a connection with
them.
Like Corey is saying, like,
They're doing what you do.
They're in the same style box,
doing the same style gym.
They're not in their garage.
They're not in there.
And not to say that training can't be
in your garage,
but occasionally drop into a class.
It makes a huge difference.
It humanizes them.
Yeah.
I wanted to do two more quick updates
for sure.
One, this is going to be super fast.
A couple months ago,
we talked about the IF-III Masters
competition in Australia.
And from the news of water is wet,
the sky is blue,
there was an independent company that was
brought in to see what the deficiencies
were.
And they said, yes,
there were plenty of deficiencies,
not staffed well enough,
not programmed right, things like that.
But what I found kind of fascinating in
the fine details of it all were that
there were a lot of complaints that they
found unfounded.
And I think that that's kind of funny.
I love my Masters athletes.
I love them to death.
They are amazing people.
I love hanging out and chatting with them.
But
We Masters athletes know how to complain.
So when the wheels came off the bus,
it was open season to complain about
everything.
If complaining was an event at the Masters
CrossFit Games,
it would be the most tightly contested
event of the weekend.
Yeah.
By far, because everybody's good at it.
Yep.
And they all have their idea of how
things should be and how it should be
set up.
And again...
they are my people.
I love hanging out with them.
Um, but they,
it's hard to get them on a positive
trajectory in their conversations at an
event.
Well, uh, this and well, uh, that,
and well, uh, this,
there's so much of a dude.
I try not to get on that train
to the best of my ability.
I still do my fair share,
but you're not like a lot of anybody,
but the amount of it that you hear.
And it's just like, man,
My favorite one is people complaining
about the programming because they program
stuff that they're not good at.
Hey, bro,
that's the entire point of the test is
to see what you are actually good at.
So I don't complain about the programming
much.
The only time that is warranted is at
the games because that test should be a
balanced test to test the first.
When you're talking like,
legends or masters fitness collective or
any of those it's their event they can
do whatever they want to do and and
that's fine um but when you're talking the
games is the only time i give that
like a lot of credence right but but
the the independent
auditor did find plenty of things that the
IF-III did incorrectly in that as well.
This is my shocked face.
Right.
This is my shocked face for that.
Not having medical people on site was
probably the most egregious.
But anyway.
And then the last thing I wanted to
talk about is Pat Vellner announced on his
Instagram.
It was then reported by the Barbell Spin
that, and I have his Instagram here,
so I'll pull it up.
that he had torn a rotator cuff in
the lifting event at the final tour stop
at...
So you see where he loses the bar
behind and he grabs his shoulder.
He posted that.
He says,
been stacking lots of rehab days following
this lift in Denmark.
Torn rotator cuff, not great.
Things happen.
Lots of time to get back on track
for twenty twenty six.
Jack shoulders and rotator cuffs.
So I wanted to research quickly because I
know like in baseball,
a torn rotator cuff is a devastating
injury, right?
And so like if I looked up like
if an athlete has rotator cuff,
what is the recovery time?
And it appears to me by looking through
his stuff that he did not get the
surgical solution to this torn rotator
cuff.
And so he's attempting to rehab it.
And if you're just rehabbing it,
you can get back in like four to
six weeks and
If it requires surgery,
you're talking four to nine months.
Months, yeah.
So I was curious to see how this
would affect the season,
but he has been announced as a participant
at Wadapalooza.
So he must think that he is going
to give it a go at Wadapalooza.
I think it's good on him.
Good on him if he is.
Well, not if he is.
Obviously, he is.
I saw the same post.
You saw that water pollution post that
he's coming back and going to be
competing.
I've never had it.
I know several people that did and had
the surgery for it or whatnot.
And six to nine months,
that's a solid thing.
solid number my life had it my best
one of my best friends in the entire
world who is pretty decent level high
level masters athlete had it and he's
probably still never going to be the same
and he's fifty six and he's probably still
never going to be as good as he
was before just from the rehab and then
just losing time right losing time not
being able to do anything in the sling
the whole nine like it's insane
Well,
I always go to our expert in the
chat, and that's Shanna.
She says, I have a fully torn...
I don't know why she's swearing at me.
Suprasprinatus.
I got you on that one.
On the right shoulder and still compete at
a high level.
And she never got it repaired.
I had a surgery,
and it took me almost nine months.
Torn rotator cuff, torn labrum,
and a detached bicep.
Oh, man.
That's bad.
No.
But by looking at the video,
I would say it's a partial tear.
I have a partially torn rotator cuff.
I can do most CrossFit things.
The only thing that is affected is if
I tried...
If the softball toss was at a competition,
I'd be screwed.
I want to say...
Maybe CJ was talking about it one morning
or something like that, that most people,
athletes types and non,
probably have some sort of partial tear in
their rotator cuff.
If you've done anything physical in your
entire life, that's a good,
strong possibility.
Yeah,
mine happened in a bar fight when I
worked as a bouncer.
Hey, that's a solid story.
I would tell everybody that, you know,
I would be at the games,
but
Yeah.
I had to break up a bar fight
and yeah.
Have you ever seen roadhouse?
It's basically the same thing.
It was the most,
it was the worst fight I'd ever had
to break up in all my days of
bouncing.
Um,
what you do in your twenties when you
think you're invincible is just ridiculous
um yeah i leapt dove over a table
it was a football player going ballistic
we ended up wrestling and that's how it
popped and i ended up in the hospital
that night um
But yeah, I,
I thought I was Superman dove over a
table, knocked over drinks everywhere,
took the guy to the floor,
put his leg in the wing, trying to,
to get him to stop.
Yeah, it was,
it was bad ground and pound baby ground
and pound.
Yeah.
Uh, solid story from, from Jody and Vicki.
I would be at the games,
but I'm not in shape and I'm old.
That's what David said.
He looks like Captain America.
He's three years older than I am,
I think.
It's not much.
I don't want to hear that shit.
That's nonsense.
Technically,
I've actually been to games way more times
than I have because I haven't even gone
as a spectator and he's been like two
or three years at least.
He's one year younger than me.
There you go.
When you're younger than you,
six years older than me.
Yeah.
That much.
That would be forty nine in April.
It's just trying to keep up with that
wife and kids, man.
Well,
it's a lot to keep up with his
kids.
Fantastic.
So, yeah,
hopefully he gets back because there's
been a lot of speculation.
Is he going to do the game season
this year?
guess we'll find out if he signs up
for the open.
I feel like that's a pretty easy tell.
Yeah.
There seems to be some speculation that he
is going to come back and do one
more year in the CrossFit game season.
It just sucks that he tears a rotator
cuff going into it.
No.
I mean,
I won't say it couldn't be that bad,
but because...
when Brandon tore whatever he tore in his
elbow or whatnot,
doing the snatch at the games,
like he competed and he just,
I'd be proofing up and stayed the rest
of the weekend.
Pat did the same thing, right?
Like do that out.
Brandon's was pretty gnarly to watch.
Cause his elbow went the wrong direction.
Uh, Judy is now coaching.
Wow.
That's awesome.
Good chat in our stuff way back in
the day.
um she wasn't even crossfitting she's
hanging out with the crossfit talk and
then she joined a gym and now she's
yeah wow that's awesome good for her yeah
so cool so cool um anything else you
want to talk i have about two minutes
left before i have do you have the
same birthday with tristan
April, April, April, April, April, April,
April, April, April, April, April, April,
April, April, April, April, April, April,
April, April, April, April, April,
Yeah.
My sister was a diver when we were
kids and she was really, really good.
Um,
and when I watched the videos of their
son diving, it is like,
there's I'm speechless sometimes at how
little splash he has when he goes into
water.
Like the form is amazing.
And he dives for Ohio state here.
Um, so yeah.
Uh, Tyler deadlifted five,
fifteen conventional and six,
ten on a trap bar.
Yep.
I do that in my back would be
laying on the floor.
I'd have to assemble it back together.
I deadlifted five hundred once and if I'd
never do it again,
I will be perfectly fine.
I was messed up for four days afterwards.
Yeah.
I did it once in high school.
And then when I was doing the CrossFit
thing,
my back squat was like a hundred pounds
more than my deadlift.
Yeah.
My back was just,
my back just can't support the deadlift,
but it's fine when I'm doing a squat.
Jeez.
So I have the strength.
I just don't have the back to be
able to lift.
And I did hit four hundred, but it.
Yeah.
it wasn't pretty part is not terrible i
can still rep out for fifteen or i
say i can't i haven't in quite some
time we don't program a whole lot of
heavy deadlift so it's a i'll say it's
a party trick i mean it's definitely core
strength and all that good stuff but it's
not something i'm super focused on yeah i
i don't really know what my true back
squat was when
I've not missed a back squat since twenty
twelve, twenty thirteen.
I've never missed one,
so I don't even know.
I've never made it to the point where
I've had to drop it.
I don't think I have.
I don't know if I've ever felt like
a one rep max attempt.
My last one was for four fifteen and
it felt like super nice.
Like I'm probably four thirty five,
four fifty backswater if I had to guess.
It's not something I work on.
I'm not so much worried about absolute
strength as I am just being able to
consistently move like I'm strong.
I'm going to be strong.
I'm not that's not really going anywhere
as long as I maintain what I'm doing.
I do one squat cycle a year,
usually right after the opens finish.
Yeah,
the highest I hit crossfitting and back
squat was about like four eighty.
But again, I've never truly maxed it out.
By the time you get up to those,
like, you need a lot of time, and,
like,
we never gave ourselves enough time to get
up there.
By the time, like,
we got up in those areas, like,
you're running out of the lifting time,
and now it's time for the Metcon.
Yeah.
Nothing like lifting four-eighty and then
going to a Metcon and trying to use
your legs.
So when I first started CrossFit in, like,
I was that guy because I had been
running a whole lot who, like,
loved to –
i was like running was programmed i was
like yeah cool let's run and we had
we did a mile for time one day
and it was the first part of it
was a back squat workout and i i
remember what the back squat workout was
but i remember my mile for time at
six twenty one was the fastest i had
ever run in my entire life that was
fun that was good times right there yeah
Well, I hate to end this early,
but I actually have a meeting in five
minutes that I have to get up and
get a dress shirt on for.
With that, guys,
so awesome being here today.
