Half hour hustle, yeah,

we building that brand.

Grab a plate, tune in now,

you part of the fam.

What is going on, everybody?

Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdales.

Pelson is prioritizing other people over

us.

That's because we're number two.

No, no.

He said, sorry, Siobhan and Taylor.

He's going to catch up with their show

after.

I'm so used to being number two,

like I'd misread it.

Sorry.

I misread it.

It happens.

So we actually changed some buttons

around.

Huh?

We changed some buttons around.

Maybe it's going to reduce some echo.

We're going to give it a shot.

Only one way to find out.

Only one way to find out.

Yeehaw, it's a cowboy.

Carolyn is in the house.

She's saying, hello.

Hello.

Hello, Carolyn.

So the first thing I just wanted to

talk about really quickly is yesterday we

were talking about boys interrupted

fatigue.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

And it got clipped,

and people made comments about the clip.

And what I love is the instant reaction

without even listening to the words that

are coming out of my mouth.

It's my favorite.

Right.

It's my absolute favorite.

As Chris Tucker said in Rush Hour.

Yeah.

Can you hear the words coming out of

my mouth?

Yeah.

Do you understand the words that are

coming out of my mouth?

They don't.

And it's not that they don't understand.

They didn't actually listen to a word you

said.

Because I said, I don't blame the boys.

The boys are doing everything right.

Yeah, love those dudes.

Dallin is probably my favorite male

athlete right now.

I got Dallin picked to win the games.

I love the boys,

but CrossFit has leaned into them a

hundred percent at the expense of other

athletes.

That has nothing to do with the boys

whatsoever.

Correct.

I watch boys interrupted every week.

I choose to go do that.

I don't need CrossFit to keep giving them

more and more and more, though, right?

At some point, the fatigue hits you,

and it's only going to hurt them.

It's like that old joke.

My dad caught me smoking a cigarette,

so he made me smoke a whole pack

of cigarettes.

Oh, you like cigarettes?

CrossFit is like, oh, you like the boys?

All right, good.

We give you all of the boys all

the time.

Yeah.

And it's,

it's happening with Lucy Campbell too.

Yeah.

She's everywhere.

And I love Lucy.

Me too.

One of my favorite people, but like,

so my question to you is you have

these personalities that have shown that

they have a

that thing right that people are attracted

to sure one of them is harry lightfoot

right the guy is hilarious he's

charismatic do you think we're not getting

him because crossfit is broke and they

can't send a team overseas the thought has

crossed my mind well they're just not

they're just not willing to spend the

money

way or another and i don't think it

would take a whole lot to find somebody

in harry's orbit and say hey i'm gonna

pay you whatever whatever i don't know i

have no idea what the going rate for

that would be to get some footage you

know twenty four hours with harry

lightfoot as he's preparing for whatever

send that to us we'll cut it up

and put it out

Or like for his quarterfinals that didn't

get aired on his own channel.

Hey,

go spend the weekend and film

quarterfinals.

Yeah.

And let's do that as a road to

the games.

or go spend a weekend with him coaching

and training and doing all of the things

like to show what he does.

Cause if you, I talked to him,

he's a coach before he's anything else.

I'm just saying like,

if you wanted to condense it into a

weekend,

like we just got on road to the

games, right.

That was quarterfinals instead of redoing

what the boys interrupted already done

themselves.

why not contract somebody over in europe

to film harry for a weekend it just

it didn't have to be harry before

everybody comes in here right anybody like

there are plenty of freelancers that would

take the job

He was at the games last year.

He is an up-and-comer.

He has been at Rogue.

He has shown that he has a personality

that sells.

People love that dude.

I'm one of them.

Hell, Pedro's not that far.

Yeah.

Pedro's done work for CrossFit before.

Send Pedro over there.

Pedro does good work.

We get good stuff out of him.

leader says I'm guessing money.

Yeah, that's what I'm guessing too.

But I think that like,

I think CrossFit has done a lot with

the media lately,

and a lot of good things.

But out of the box thinking is not

one of their best things.

No.

They just think it always has to be

done the traditional way.

Yeah.

They definitely had flashes.

stuff that you're like oh okay this is

cool and then they just you have the

stuff that you're comfortable with and the

whole entire point of crossfit is getting

comfortable with being uncomfortable yeah

um so yeah i just i just wanted

to bring that up because the comments are

wild right like oh dude

And not just on what happened yesterday,

but Holly put all that work into putting

out the master's leaderboards from online

semis with an asterisk that said,

these are unofficial.

And then you get a comment saying, hey,

let's hold up.

Video review isn't done.

And in the meantime,

people are scrambling to go see

who's in where what's in who's in blah

blah whatever so we got a comment

yesterday that said that if your ice

wasn't cold or you would complain which is

probably a valid complaint and like i feel

like these people who are who are about

stuff like this they just want something

to about

They literally just want something to

complain about because God forbid somebody

did something on their own volition,

on their own time,

on their own dime to put something out

useful for the entire community with an

asterisk by it saying, hey,

this is not official,

but this is what it looks like as

of right now.

And people come on there and go, well,

why didn't you just wait till it was

all done?

And there's other people going on there

and say, well,

why didn't you put it up when it

was official?

Right.

She didn't have to do any of that

at all.

Seema Boobs.

I'm not going to the leaderboard to check.

I appreciate her post because it makes me

pay attention to us old folks.

Straight up.

And she does that all because she loves

this stuff.

And she's a certified nerd.

She'll tell you that herself.

Yep.

Trent Olive,

I think all the big names in the

men's, thirty-five to forty-nine,

would be a great road to the games.

You could even condense that for like one

road to the games,

thirty-five to thirty-nine,

and maybe you had a typo.

I don't know.

But with Travis Mayer, Noah Olsen,

Sam Dancer, Scott Panczyk, Con Porter,

that'd be a really cool road to the

games.

Marquand Jones.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It just keeps going.

If the ice is too cold,

it sticks to your lips.

Valid.

Valid complaint.

Never had ice that cold, I guess.

Travis Williams.

Travis Williams is going to make his own

road to the games.

Yeah.

Just him.

Travis has always made his own road.

A hundred percent.

In more ways than one.

Yeah.

And yes, thank you.

Kid Lito's quote right there.

Please, sir.

Another reason why those posts are so good

is because then someone gets a penalty.

You can go back to that and compare

as the official CrossFit leaderboard

doesn't give you a history option.

All it does is update, which is fair.

That's all it needs to do.

But what Holly's doing is putting out

stuff that you can go back and look

at it.

Cause her post is not going to update.

She might put out a later one at

some other point,

but her post is going to be, Hey,

this is what it looked like at the

close.

Like whenever everything got closed, boom,

this is what the first leaderboard looked

like.

And as people get penalties,

you can go back and look, Oh,

this dude dropped.

That must've been pretty serious.

Because unless you're writing it down,

bro, you ain't going to know.

Yeah,

and I don't think anybody's screenshotting

the leaderboards.

Well,

I am betting there are people that are

affected by those leaderboards

screenshotting them to see the fall.

Absolutely.

But it's a great point by Lito that

now we have a record of what it

was at eight p.m.

Actually, three p.m.

Monday.

And what may change to that over the

coming weeks.

CrossFit has all that data and does so

little with it.

I know.

That's why we have Holly.

Holly has found a way to extract that

information from the leaderboard into her

database.

And she's quick, dude.

Yep.

For what she says out,

she is absurdly fast.

Yep.

I'd love to know how their training has

changed, if at all, for Masters,

especially with a family and other

responsibilities.

I think it would be a great,

great road to the games.

Oh, it'd be fascinating.

I'm actually considering not...

covering the games live,

but going for the beginning of the week

and covering the Masters.

And then heading home and doing recap

shows from here.

I mean, being there is one thing,

like for the actual games,

because you're going to see some stuff

other people don't see,

but it is easier to follow, I find,

if you're watching it on TV,

because you get all the live recaps and

whatnot from the death show.

Not that I wouldn't want to be at

the games by any stretch of the

imagination,

but I just think it's easier to follow.

Kate.

My only fear is...

that if bob and joe have say over

the media credentials i may not get one

for the masters because i am apparently

enemy number one for that you act like

there's a history there oh wait uh kate

i one hundred percent screenshot the

leaderboard we got your back too we got

your back too kate's fantastic i got to

hang out and uh in birmingham she's good

she's good people

Yeah,

I could always watch Corinne's broadcast

of the games too.

There we go.

I thought she did a fantastic job, FYI.

You know what else does a fantastic job?

Thirdsy.

Thirdsy helps you sleep and recover,

and you know you're not going to get

busted by a drug test because it is

third-party tested itself.

You can get fifteen percent off Thursday

if you want the best night's sleep of

your life.

And you can do that by going to

Thursday dot com backslash jazzy.

Get fifteen percent off.

Use promo code jazzy at checkout.

Also, that gets you fifteen percent off.

Thank you, Thursday,

for all you do for us.

Fantastic.

Beautiful.

The thirty five year old is going to

be crazy.

Great idea, Scott.

Well,

I don't think people are lining up to

cover the Masters.

And that's why I've been trying to do

it for the last couple of years.

But the organizers of the Masters division

and I have not seen eye to eye

on a lot of stuff.

And so I am not confident that we

are going to get access to anything.

I could stand outside and get them as

they come out.

Let's qualify that a bit.

You have done nothing but try to help

them.

yep got them interns last year for the

broadcast you did it and my thanks for

that was i got to sit in the

hall and interview people the year before

that let's talk about that and the eleven

part

documentary that you made that is still on

youtube fyi please people go look at it

and check it out because it's really well

done that they did not share did not

put any part of promote any part of

of their own event did not give any

kind of even recognition to and it was

you covering their event yep didn't even

promote the

The documentary doll.

Absolutely insane.

Clydesdale crew will start a petition to

have you cover the masters because there's

no one better.

Well, thank you very much.

So Grant's in here talking a little bit

of smack.

It's because it's Grant.

He knows how to talk.

He's really good at it.

Well,

I watched his show this morning and I

have a reaction to that.

So hopefully he doesn't.

hang a neon sign of a horse penis

behind himself um after what I say now

but uh to represent an update from the

Clydesdale or anything like that got it

Clydesdale updates um but what I want to

say is and it's not just him there's

a lot of blame about what's going on

in the semi-final season being thrown at

Dave

I don't think that is,

I do not think that that makes sense.

I think that CrossFit HQ removed

themselves from semifinals.

They handed it over to a bunch of

third parties to run semifinals and gave

them no money to do so.

No money, no help, no nothing.

To then think when you hand that off

that you have any say over how they

program or how they do anything in running

their event,

you have given up that right when you

decided to give it to them and give

them no support.

And that decision did not come from Dave.

No.

They gave it to the Northern California

Classic, for Christ's sake,

that had a bucket hold for time a

couple years ago.

And we're like, hey,

you guys should qualify.

And nothing against them,

because their stuff is,

it is what it is.

Everybody,

you know what you're getting into if you

go to the NCC.

It's not, it's not, it's not.

And they're good people.

I like them a whole lot.

But their event is a little weird.

And they know that it's a little weird,

and they're okay with it being a little

weird.

Everybody who goes there knows it's going

to be a little weird.

And CrossFit was like, hey, Figo,

you guys should qualify people to the

games.

Do whatever you're going to do.

What I'm saying is,

Those event organizers have been doing

this for a long time.

NorCal Classic has been around well before

they were a semifinal.

Syndicate Crown was the MAC before that,

and they've been around forever, right?

And French Throwdown's been around for ten

years, right?

So you hand this off to Torian.

Hell,

they've been around since the beginning of

CrossFit.

Since the beginning of CrossFit, yeah.

So to hand these experienced event

organizers...

all the responsibility,

all the liability of semifinals,

and then say, oh,

but you got to do it this way.

Nobody would sign up.

To do that is forcing regionals back on

them.

Hey, you can run it,

but you're not going to run it because

you're going to do what I tell you

to do.

That is essentially going, hey,

you're going to have regionals because

we're going to tell you what programming

you can have,

but we need you to put the rest

of it on yourself.

I don't think that if I am Wilson

Park, I sign up for that.

Why would I do all of this for

you if you're then going to turn around

and tell me how I can do it?

Right.

And you're not helping me with anything.

No.

You're just telling me what I can't do.

I wouldn't even sign up for that.

I'd just run my own event that I've

always run.

Yep.

Same.

And the other thing is,

all it's doing is making Dave more

invincible.

Because it is...

Everybody in the C-suite,

whatever the hell you want to call the

executive team, the board of directors,

Berkshire, nobody's lobbing bombs at them.

Dave takes it all.

Dave takes all the shots, all the slings,

all the arrows,

and everybody blames him when he has no

control.

I am fairly certain.

And he just takes it and moves on.

I am willing to place a decent-sized wager

that if Dave had his way,

Regitals never would have left.

I completely agree.

And they would still be doing it that

way instead of because now he's got to

look at that stuff.

And I know he says he doesn't look

at other people's programming,

but he goes to the events.

So he sees the programming.

It's not like he doesn't see like he

doesn't see what's going on around him.

And I guarantee you there's some stuff

that goes on at certain events and he

is grinding his lures.

And anytime he makes a comment about what

he sees, he gets ripped for that.

Yeah.

When he said,

I wouldn't have programmed Gwen,

he's ripped for that.

Yeah.

I would have programmed a run at Legends.

Gets ripped for that.

Yeah, he can't win.

Right, he just can't.

But the structure has been designed that

Dave is the front-facing guy that just

gets hammered.

Oh, my gosh.

At least...

Yeah, thanks.

At least Dave has you white knighting for

him.

Dave doesn't need me white knighting for

him.

All I'm saying that everybody that's

blaming him isn't looking deep enough as

to what the real problem is.

Not by half.

The real problem is that CrossFit gave up

control over the semifinals of their own

damn season because they were afraid of

the liability.

When Lazar died at the games,

they gave up as much,

they unloaded as much of the liability

from themselves that they could in the

following and subsequent seasons.

And now we're in a spot where they

have no control over the semifinals.

And everybody's still bitching at Dave

about it when he has zero input.

It's a straw man argument at this point.

You're yelling at him and there's no

reason to yell at him because he's

literally sitting there going, uh-huh,

uh-huh, uh-huh.

Oh, we're going to do it like that?

Okay, cool.

How would CrossFit take the control back?

Super simple.

Say next year's season is X, open,

quarterfinals, semifinals.

We are running them all.

That's the only way it can work.

Then you want to take shots at Dave?

Cool.

Go for it.

It's a super simple fix.

Whether they'll do that or not,

who the hell knows?

They're not going to.

My guess is we'll get some mishmash of

beef stew version of it when they half-ass

take it back.

Yeah.

Here we go.

People are delusional.

They want Froning to be CF, CEO,

JR to program the games,

all the streams to be high quality for

free on YouTube,

all the online competitions to have one

percent video review.

Yeah, we're not getting all that.

And I was thinking this this morning.

I wasn't going to bring it up today,

but every time someone suggests a new

programmer, it's Richard Jr.,

You're telling me there's no other

programmers in the world?

Who's programming Torian?

Nobody ever bitches about the programming

of Torian?

They get excited.

They released a workout this morning and

everybody in the comments was like, oh.

No, no, Rich and JR.

But Grant, Rich has a camp of people.

The conflict of interest is so huge.

So huge.

Bring back regional locks.

I am a proponent for regional locks.

That brings all the drama back to the

party.

A hundred percent.

There are a lot of great programmers in

the world and it always comes down to

those two people.

They just don't have the PR team.

I was about to say,

that's the difference is that everybody

who knows who Rich is and everybody knows

who JR is.

Rich does good programming.

JR does good programming.

Oh, okay.

Well, if that's the case,

then those two people,

because I know who they are.

It's like people think, you know,

when you talk about the greatest

basketball player ever, well,

who's the greatest right now?

Because that's who I give a shit about,

who I hear about.

all they care about oh i i know

that name yeah yeah i know that guy

should definitely do it when like you said

whoever's programming torian does a damn

fine job whoever's programming all these

cops pick something dude all over the

place they're putting they're putting

together some pretty good stuff i'm just

saying i mean i even

Yeah, I don't know.

And the other issue is these comps are

not making money and they're not getting

help from CrossFit.

So they have to take sponsor money.

And if it's an equipment brand,

they're going to have to implement that

machine, that implement,

whatever it may be,

into the programming to keep their

Yeah.

To keep their event running.

I would love to know the number that

Stepper threw at Legends for them to get

that thing in there.

Because from what everybody says,

it was last minute that they changed it

up.

Because I imagine it had to be pretty

substantial for them to go, oh, okay,

yeah, sure.

We'll just put these two in there and

change it up.

Completely.

More or less.

Sure, fine.

For the same reason, dude.

They still want to come out.

They can't run it at a loss.

And then what, what happens next year?

It goes away completely.

Why?

Cause they lost their ass on it.

Right.

I heard nothing but good things about the

stepper machines other than used in a comp

at damper.

Right.

Everybody says their stair master thing is

phenomenal.

Because you can use it like in a

place that's got a short ceiling or

shorter ceiling.

You got to step up that high.

Yeah, but damn, Scott,

the gosh darn ten erg thing that the

night before was a gosh darn travesty.

Grant,

if you've listened to my show at all,

you know that I am not a fan

of Joe and Bob.

We have had we talked about that top

of this show.

They don't like me.

Apparently,

I have not had a good relationship with

them.

I don't think it had to be on

damper ten.

And if it was the night before,

that's on them.

Yeah.

The timing is on them.

Mr. Google says Dave Watts programs,

Torian level three coach.

Miss Prevost,

the fact they programmed those machines at

Damper Ten made that sponsor look bad.

The machines itself weren't bad,

but I don't think programming Damper Ten

made them look good.

Again,

that's the programming that was out there.

But everybody that tried those machines in

the demo area raved about how well they

were built,

how it had different functionality,

depending on what you had it set to

and different things like that.

I think the damper ten was a horrible

idea.

Ed AI says he's an odd numbers guy,

so damper nine would have been his pick.

I would split the difference.

Let's go with five.

Put it in the middle somewhere.

Why put it at the hardest possible

setting?

That blows my mind completely.

Put it at number five.

Hey, don't touch it.

If you touch it, your event's over.

Don't touch the damper.

It is where it is.

Get up.

Get on the bike.

Get up.

Grab the handles for the skier.

Move right along.

Don't touch the damper.

You touch the damper, your thing's over.

Boom.

Easy fix.

Done.

it's because joe and bob are power

athletes and everything they program is to

get as much have you seen joe in

person yeah he is not a power athlete

he ain't no bigger than me go back

go back and look at when he was

doing the open and look at his numbers

i believe you but i'm just telling you

the dude ain't no bigger than i am

Thank God the games has nothing to do

with American Gladiators.

I agree.

I went off on that on Sunday night

too.

American Gladiators was fixed so that no

CrossFitter would win because the

CrossFitters win every fitness

competition.

So they rigged it.

So my girl Bailey and my guy Kyle

didn't win.

That's a crying chain.

I'll take the stepper if the monitor

doesn't error out as much as the C

two.

They're expensive.

Same.

Like the biker was like,

twenty-five hundred bucks was on sale for

two thousand.

Yeah.

And you can get a C two bike

for like nine hundred bucks.

Yup.

And you can get a, uh,

echo bike for also about nine hundred,

eight, eight, nine hundred bucks.

I just said that, Daniel.

I don't know if he's doing the Open

or not.

He might still be doing the Open.

But they may also view that as a

conflict of interest competing in a season

in which they are event coordinators.

One of them looks like they're on TRT,

so maybe that's why they aren't.

Bob had cancer last year.

I mean,

if you want to get serious about it,

that's probably why he hasn't been doing

the open.

Um, and again,

I thought I had a great relationship with

Joe.

We used to talk on the phone,

did a lot of things.

And then all that went crazy.

So I don't know what happened.

Um,

The syndicate workouts came out.

Yes.

I am not an expert on programming.

I'm going to put them up so everybody

can see.

What I found interesting is there's

definitely like,

and this is JR programming,

you get odd objects or things that you

don't see normally in JR programming,

and it did not disappoint with that.

The first event is ball till you fall.

Fifty D-ball squat cleans.

That's a hundred pound D-ball for men.

Seventy for women.

Fifty box jump overs.

Fifty forty echo calorie echo row

calories.

Forty burpees to target.

Fifty forty echo row calories.

And then back all the way back down.

So that is the first one.

Nice long chipper.

Twenty two minute cap.

Event two, four-time three rounds,

four-hundred-meter run,

four-hundred-forty GHD sit-ups,

seven rope climbs,

time cap fifteen minutes.

The rope climb is fourteen feet.

Men, four legless, three legs.

Women, three legless, four legs.

I'm curious what Carolyn thinks about the

rope climb scale for the women.

Because it's flipped.

Yeah,

I think we'll probably talk about it

Sunday night.

I'm sure.

Event three for time.

This is bicarb.

Three deadlifts,

fifty-foot front rack lunge.

Then six, nine, twelve,

fifteen on the deadlifts,

fifty-foot lunge.

The deadlifts are three fifty-five,

two fifty-five.

Front rack lunge, one thirty-five,

ninety-five.

Then just like magic city,

we have a semi-final Nate, um,

individual event for.

Ten rounds for ring muscle ups,

eight strict handstand pushups,

twelve dual kettlebell hang snatches.

So twelve dual kettlebell hang snatches is

going to be lit like, wow.

All right.

up boom rolling out your shoulders blowing

out your uh and then get up and

bring muscle ups and then the strict

handstand push-ups that's going to be fun

to watch um trip advisory event five for

time hundred foot handstand walk two

hundred foot wheel barrel push and pull

I cannot wait to see what that is.

One minute rest,

then a hundred double unders,

a hundred foot handstand walk,

two hundred foot wheelbarrow push and

pull.

Then you one minute rest,

two hundred foot wheelbarrow push and

pull, one hundred double unders,

a hundred foot handstand walk.

So if you didn't notice,

everything changes order in each set.

Yeah,

Brandon programs like this from time to

time.

The wheelbarrow is four fifty for the men

and

three sixty for the women so i'm assuming

and carolyn said there's a video of the

wheelbarrow on coffee pods and wads uh on

pedro's stuff so i'm assuming pick it up

walk forward with it get across some line

somewhere turn around pick it up pull it

back so push it forward and then pull

it back if i had if i'm i'm

assuming anyway uh

That's going to be interesting.

I like that.

That is old school games.

What was it called?

Do you remember the sandbag?

We had to get those sandbags from one

side of the arena,

the tennis stadium to the other one.

Yep.

It's not an actual wheelbarrow,

but I actually did a three hundred and

sixty pound wheelbarrow push yesterday.

Oh.

we built it we back on a deck

is that what we're back on the deck

it was back on a deck yep four

four i don't know four or five bags

of concrete three or four bags of sand

i can't remember how much all in the

wheelbarrow went pushed it not easy i will

say it was not but then again i

was not on a fly i was not

on a flat surface so it was a

little bit hard but i do have the

I'll stop sharing that.

I do have the wheelbarrow push up.

So it's like a rogue wheelbarrow with

plates.

Oh, okay.

I don't know if you can see that.

Yeah.

And we will go ahead and... Okay.

So there it is down.

Turn around, pick it up, drag.

That looks like fun.

What I like about that is it's not

a sled.

Yep.

But it's kind of the same.

But it looks like it'll be more

consistent.

I think so.

I mean, it's just a wheel, right?

So everybody's got the same wheel,

same maintenance type stuff.

You're not on turf.

You're not on this fan's been blowing

water on this one, blah, blah, whatever.

Pick it up, roll with it.

Pick it up, roll with it.

I like it.

I like it a lot.

i like how they covered the identities to

protect to protect the testers because i

know carolyn has actually told me she

doesn't like it when people know that she

tested an event because she does not want

to be contacted or leak any information

can you imagine you're gonna get eight

hundred eighty five freaking uh messages

hey what about this hey what about this

hey what about this

And to all of them,

you got to go, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no.

I guess the only thing you can do,

cause they're going to,

they're going to annoy the ever living

crap out of you until you either say

something or you block everybody.

Uh, hope no flat tires.

Yeah.

We hope there's no flat tires and you

have to balance it.

So that's an added degree of difficulty to

that move.

I like it a lot.

makes me like it at first i thought

it was gimmicky you shouldn't even tell

people when work when the workout is

released what your score is or how it

felt i usually tell people i did half

of it even if i did the whole

thing like i only did like three rounds

i only did you know whatever it's all

right whatever like i don't

Very few people that I know that I

compete with that I would actually give a

score to because I know that they don't

give a shit.

They're going to do whatever they're going

to do anyway.

Perfect square is the final event.

Four time, forty nine toes to bar.

Nice even number.

And then seven overhead squats at two

fifty five one seventy five.

Going to take your core away.

Four minutes cap.

We're going to take your core away and

get you to breathing hard.

And then seven overhead quads.

You said two sixty five.

I can't hardly see it.

It is two fifty five.

Two fifty five.

Thank you.

That's going to be fun to watch.

Jason Borden says heaviest in comp

history.

Lots of failed snatches coming off the

toaster bar.

it could have a like a gwen type

effect yeah especially when you're

battling for those top three you gotta

snatch it stabilize it and then hey let's

go ahead and squat it do you know

what i love about it it's not a

lunge to the end big fan of that

Big fan of that.

Yep.

It's going to be a nasty finish in

the final heat.

Because it's kind of a sprint.

Yeah.

Kind of.

And, dude, that's a heavy.

And you're right.

The core is going to be shot hard.

I mean,

plus everything that's already going on

through the weekend, right?

Like,

let's not forget to take that into effect

as well.

And then, okay,

you got four minutes to do essentially

fifty total bar.

Forty nine.

And then the heaviest seven of the

heaviest overhead squads ever for random

in competition for enjoy yourself.

Mark Phillips,

that's a clean and press to the back.

for some it will be some people are

going to snatch it i would be shocked

if nobody snatched it i really would be

kenneth lap yo good people listen to my

man take a second like and subscribe

support the show for free thank you so

much so yeah those are the events at

syndicate

I think they're good.

We'll probably dive into it way more on

Sunday night.

Mark.

Sorry, that was an implicit for me.

I'm betting there's more people than just

you, Mark, doing it at the event.

There's going to be some,

but there's going to be some.

You're going to see some people snatch it

and just get to work.

do you think anybody snatch balances it?

You know,

if they have that much forethought,

I mean, you know, you know who would,

and he's retired now, but for Kowski,

that's something,

that's something for Kowski would do.

He would figure out that that's probably

the most efficient way to get it,

to get it into that overhead position.

And he would do something like that.

That's something I would expect to see

from for Kowski.

Um,

train all of going to be interesting to

look at the field again against those

workouts and come up with predictions.

We will for sure do that the week

before the event.

Oh no, Carolyn.

I don't think many people will,

but people are definitely,

there's going to be some dudes out there

that just get off the,

get off the rig,

take a couple of breaths and just snatch

it.

Yeah.

That's, that's a beefy snatch after the,

the weekend and the toes to bar.

A lot of stuff going on.

Too costly if you miss...

So it's also costly if you clean and

jerk it and then get it into your

back and then get it into your back

rack, right?

Clean and jerk it to get into your

back rack.

Two-fifty-five, dude,

is still a pretty hefty clean and jerk,

especially after all of that stuff.

Your core's still going to be fried,

and then you're going to have to get

it up overhead,

whether you snatch balance it basically

from the back or if you just do

a push jerk, essentially, whatever.

Either way...

It's not going to be great.

I'm thinking my initial thought was snatch

because you don't have to do any extra

moving parts.

You don't have to get it up to

clean it.

Get it into the back rack.

Get your arms out.

It's four minutes.

Carolyn says you can do it without going

to your back wide clean and jerk.

You can do it without going to your

back wide clean and jerk, Carolyn.

Fun fact,

I was invited to syndicate and I wonder

how many people can't squat this.

I could not snatch it if I wanted

to.

Yeah.

So I want to end on a fun

note because I don't want to bitch just

because my ice is too cold.

So I wanted to share a couple of

things I saw on the gram and

First thing is,

this is why Colton Mertens is a rock

star.

Love this dude.

Ah, that's not what I wanted.

She's also a rock star.

I was trying to pause it so I

could get the audio on.

Yeah, here we go.

Today is my first day without drugs,

alcohol, steroids, Coca-Cola, gummy bears,

peptide, tax fraud, eating drywall,

boner pills, smoking, simping,

making fun of Jason, gambling,

talking to my demons, public indecency,

racist jokes,

illegally live streaming events,

energy drinks.

Really, really funny.

He is a rock star,

but I think he lied.

I like the fact that he said he

threw making fun of Jason.

I think he just made fun of Jason.

Yes.

He absolutely did.

Oh my word.

That's good.

I like that a lot.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So while I love the content,

I think he lied because he did make

fun of Jason.

A hundred percent.

Yeah.

Oh, he, yeah.

I did snipe core in there at the

end too.

Yeah.

um the next thing i wanted to show

you is i don't know if you saw

uh the proper coaching technique for wall

balls uh i have not all right

i got to order me some of those

so if you want to make sure that

you are getting below parallel these are

tools that you that are now available on

rogue i've got to get me some of

those

Or you can call me Walter Has Enough

Squeak Toys.

Annoying,

annoying squeak toys if you need a few.

We will pull out the ball of shame

and have people squat to the ball of

shame from time to time.

Yeah.

They don't generally like it.

High Rocks needs this.

Stan just coming in hard.

A ninety nine dollar squeaky rogue branded

chicken.

now available in Cerakote finish.

All right.

And then the last one is a little

challenge for you all.

Can you pass this challenge?

send that to me on saturday morning i

might do that uh fun little fun little

challenge see if you guys are doing it

uh hexi lover says thanks my dogs are

going bonkers now no extra charge yep

that's what we're here for that's what

we're here for

Speaking of Rogue,

see the work they've done on their new

building?

Huge.

Huge.

I know they're trying to cut back.

They have like five buildings in Columbus,

and they're trying to get back down to

one.

And not because they're downsizing,

but because they're going to expand the

one.

Right, no,

we just need to get in one big-ass

building instead of five smaller ones.

They're already a city block.

Yeah.

Not enough.

Amanda says, I cannot pass that test.

Larry Young, I'll post it later.

There you go.

They're putting up new buildings next to

the big one they have.

Mark Phillips, I have to try it,

unfortunately.

Why, unfortunately.

If you come to my class Saturday morning,

you might get to try it.

Fortunately,

I don't know a better way to put

that.

I'm very,

very liable to make that board on my

warmup Saturday morning.

If you were Victor Wimbeniana,

you would be in the whole breast with

that wingspan.

Above your head.

Didn't he grow like six inches since he

got in the NBA or something like that?

Something ridiculous?

They said this morning I get up,

his wings, him,

his height with his hands above his head

is nine foot seven.

So he just like.

Yeah,

he can essentially defend the rim with

just a little hop.

Just a little.

I did it yesterday.

It was fun.

things my wife also has me doing all

Corey EMOM company conditioning hurts my

feelings every day.

It hurts mine too, bro.

My legs still hurt from Monday,

just from the ridiculous amount of

squatting I did.

Well, between all of the things.
