We cover the sport of CrossFit from all angles. We talk with athletes, coaches and celebrities that compete and surround in the sport of CrossFit at all levels. 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.
Only thing that changed was the game,
Charlie.
That's all there is.
So what's going on?
We're here, live, roundtable,
every Tuesday.
We are.
About a minute late, Rebecca ran over,
but that was a good conversation.
So glad we got to have that.
Oh, yeah.
So what's going on with you?
you know doing a little
fitness thing watching
people fitness all the good
things so um amy had an
appointment today so she is
not going to be on yes but
you observed her competing
in quarterfinals I did was
she able to get her first
bar muscle up no she bring
muscle up she unfortunately
Did not.
We didn't take into the
account that she cannot do
a strict handstand push-up.
Really?
It's the biggest surprise
that I've ever heard in my life.
Wow.
I thought she could.
I did, too.
I thought I've seen her do them,
but apparently I did not.
I watched her do them, too.
So if she has a pad, like I have Matt pad,
she can do them.
I think it's a, uh,
same as the ring muscle up.
We just got mental breaks.
We need to get through here.
She's strong enough.
She can do kipping all day.
You taking her on as a client?
teach your day one how to do
a strict here's how you do
it isn't it frustrating
like when you see that in
and neither one of us made
quarters so like we're not
we're not here judging
anybody by any means no you
could do strict handstand
stand push-ups all day long correct
Right.
You have that party trick,
which you do all day long.
Like it would frustrate me
watching you try to do an overhead squat.
And you had all these other
talents that were way better than me.
But I'm like, damn,
if I could just sub in.
Yeah.
Bang out these overhead squats for him.
He'd go to the games.
Yeah.
See, this is where.
Not frustrating is not the right word,
but CrossFit gets you is
that you see those things
that are there and reach.
But to get there,
you got to do this other stuff.
And you're like, well,
I'm not even going to get
to those because... Yeah,
I'd always see like
overhead squats in a workout,
but I got to do 15 ring
muscle-ups to get there.
Well,
I guess we're not seeing those this year.
I guess we're not getting to those.
But, you know, I got to watch probably...
10 or so athletes,
maybe less do one or all of the workouts.
You know, that was a good test.
I did too.
I thought it was actually
thought it was a brilliant test.
Maybe one of the best
lineups of workouts they've
put together and it needed to be.
Yes.
Yes.
Because of the small window
that to get to for the
elite athletes in North
America and Europe to get
into their semifinal,
it had to be a great test
to get the right people there.
Yes.
We still don't know if
anybody made it anyway.
Because the leaderboard is still down.
Yeah, I was interested to see if
Corey's going to make that leap.
Yeah, I did.
I got a text from him with
an attachment that said,
this is from CrossFit.
Hi,
we are currently experiencing technical
issues with the age group
quarterfinals leaderboard.
We appreciate your patience
as our team works to resolve this.
We will post an announcement
when the leaderboard is updated.
Thank you.
so no no no like estimated
time because we're at like
hour 15 that it's been down
I mean they might as well
just said none of your
business don't worry about
it yeah we're not giving
you any info in any way
we'll tell you when you
when you see it you'll know
until then don't bother us yeah
I saw a meme.
It was from Bruce Almighty,
where Jim Carrey is
answering God's emails,
and he just started typing super fast,
and it says,
CrossFit HQ entering all the
age group scores manually.
It was really good.
See, I got to watch probably...
really closely like five
athletes and then a couple
teens doing it to it
jamie's gym has some teens
that could be good yeah so
you watch some like actual
elite folks so haley haley
is a three-time teen games
competitor jamie has never
been to the games but is
trying to get there this
year for the first time
And what's always stopped
her is the online competition.
Anytime she competes in person,
she does really well.
Yeah.
But Jamie is elite.
Watching her do what she did was insane.
That workout too, she never slowed down.
Is that the wall ball one?
The wall ball burpee one, yeah.
Which was just monotonous of just...
those had to be just
watching people jump over
the box and burp.
He's just like, Oh yeah.
Try filming it.
Right.
It's engaged.
It's like my ride.
I want you to ride this bike for an hour.
Great.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It, um, it was monotonous.
And she even said like,
it was as much a mental
test as it was a physical test.
Cause it's really just,
can you stay steady
throughout this thing?
Um,
she said that the interval workout was
actually harder.
The minute, minute, minute.
Yeah.
It actually wrecked her more
than the burpee wall ball one.
I get that.
Cause you just don't know how fast to go.
Cause one rep could be the difference.
So they had a guy at her gym.
He was like six, four, six, five.
He was struggling on the one
35 pound snatch.
Like, Hmm.
like struggling.
It's a long way up and down, but he was,
he was doing like six or eight of them.
Okay.
It's on his first row and he
gets 28 calories and step
ups and he gets like 24.
Yeah.
And I leaned over to Joe,
to Jamie and I'm like,
tell him not to snatch,
like take two minutes to
rest and just hammer those other two.
Right.
What's that six going to do for you?
Right, because it got less and less.
And then the other two
started falling off too
because it was taking a lot
out of him because he just
was not efficient with the snatch.
I think he'd be efficient at like 115,
but 135 was just,
it crossed the line for him.
Just outside that.
Yeah.
Easy money.
Now,
they had a 12-year-old girl competing
at the 14, 15-year-old weights,
and she PR'd her clean and
jerk throughout that clean
and jerk workout.
Like several rounds past it?
Yeah, she made it to the final round,
but she had split jerk
every jerk and still was killing it.
I think she got six clean
and jerks at the high weight at 12th.
I like that one too.
It was nice.
Most people aren't at that 245.
It's not often that you work
out multiple reps at that
high of a weight.
Corey, speaking about the interval workout,
my grip went bye-bye on the last round.
I heard that.
Almost 50s up there.
Yep.
After pulling on the row, the snatch,
and then the dumbbell hold.
Well, see,
Corey and I got that same problem.
That 24 is just,
you got to get that leg way up there.
Well, the step-ups are 20.
No, that's right.
You're right.
But still.
But still getting it up there.
That's still a big up for you, too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
To me,
the crazy one was the muscle-up workout,
which if you could get to
the muscle-up and you were good at them,
you were going to crush that workout.
Yeah.
Yeah,
I was hearing the hardest part was
the rope because you
just... That grip in your
forearms just burning at that point.
You're supposed to use your legs,
but... So Haley and Jamie
went back-to-back.
They did not go at the same time.
Haley went first.
To me for her,
it was a handstand pushup
workout for Jamie.
It was all muscle ups.
Everything else was just,
she flew through and then
her bum shoulder.
really affected her on those
muscle ups that that day we
actually traveled an hour
to go to a gym that had
everything at the right
height and all that kind of
stuff their muscle ups are
on long straps oh all the
way to the ceiling yeah so
she then redid it on monday
at her gym with the short
straps and she took off three minutes
have you done long strap
muscle ups yes it is very
different very different
yeah apparently it pulled
on her shoulder so much
more that the the bum
shoulder so yeah that's
impressive she could do it
that quickly still I mean
without recovering as much
Uh, David Johnson says, Johnston says,
I think workout three is
one of the best tests we've
had in an online qualifier.
Did you try, um,
did you try any of the workouts, Charlie?
No, I should have.
Cause that one,
I think you would have been
really good at.
Yeah.
I was thinking that would,
that'd been the one I could have hung.
The burpee one,
I'd have just been... Yeah.
You would have been hanging
out the window.
That's the first round of 50.
I'd have been like, is it 15 minutes yet?
Yeah.
But I mean, your toes to bar are good.
Your handstand pushups are awesome.
Yeah.
I've never actually done a facing one yet.
I feel like that'd be easier,
but I could be wrong.
think for you it'd be easier
because you're actually in
a better right yeah there's
forward it's just like an
ell or a decline push-up
for you oh yeah uh
Corey said, as it turns out,
I'm really good at handstand pushups.
My T-Rex arms finally
started pulling their weight.
Yep.
That's all it is.
So if we look at the leaderboards,
did you see any surprises?
I mean, not really.
Nothing crazy.
You're always going to have
some people who are like,
I don't know who they are, but.
We'll see where they end up in semis.
Well, I just got word that.
So frame Moose Brugger was
up there pretty high.
Her workout to score has disappeared.
Oh.
That cannot be a good thing.
No.
I have not checked myself.
I just got a text about that
before we went on the air.
so how about yonikoski this
is kind of really open and
now this yeah so that's
worldwide and then you go
to the women and surprise surprise
T. Claire Toomey, number one.
Bad wrist and all, huh?
Or is that not a thing anymore?
Yeah.
Is wrist not a thing anymore?
That handstand push-up muscle-up workout,
first in the world.
Yeah, how's that?
I think we can call the wrist okay.
I'd say so.
Oh, look at Alexis.
Biggest surprise of the
leaderboard is seeing
Andrea Nistler qualify for
Carson after giving birth a
couple weeks ago.
I didn't know she gave birth.
I thought she was still pregnant.
Oh.
But I was not keeping up with that,
so I could be wrong.
Yeah, if you go to North America West,
she's like 30-something.
So is she going to try to do it now,
or are we team stuff?
I don't know.
27th.
And ACR confirmed she gave birth.
Maybe a month ago.
She's going for that fittest mom title,
huh?
That she loves so much.
She had her baby during the open.
Did well enough to get to quarters.
What?
That's ridiculous.
Okay.
Wow.
That's just freakish.
Because what was it three weeks?
Four weeks between opening quarters?
The it hasn't even been four weeks.
Yeah, probably.
It was four weeks.
Four weeks from the end of
the open to the quarters.
It hasn't been six weeks.
That you're supposed to not
be doing anything.
Yeah, she's just like,
I'm just going to qualify for semis.
Yeah, Jay Birch,
we are talking about Andrea Nistler.
She had her baby March 13th.
That's ridiculous.
Oh, my goodness.
How can that even be real?
I mean, we should just give up.
Yeah,
I think it's time to figure out
something else to do with our lives.
Yeah, I'm just going to go.
I'm going to go into WWE or something.
Right.
Wow.
Damn, that is the biggest surprise.
She probably had the baby at the gym.
That's kind of...
We're just in the middle of a workout.
Hold on a second.
Wow.
So my minute rest period,
let me have this baby and
I'll be right back at it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Third interval.
I'm just going to take my one minute break,
give birth and I'll be back at it.
What?
So ACR sent me the post.
And so I'm going to share that real quick.
Here.
Here we are.
And StreamYard has been really slow today.
There we go.
My name is Riley.
Little Riley surprised us on
March 13th with an early
entry into the world.
The last few days have been
spent loving her,
figuring out what the hell
we are doing and enjoying
the early moments.
Figuring out what the hell we're doing,
like let's go qualify for semis.
I'm with Jay Birch.
That's why I don't birth babies.
I'm not that much of a badass.
No.
ACR, birthing a baby makes you a BA,
but some of the
accomplishments these
ladies make are wild.
That is insanity.
She is cute, though.
Gotta give her that.
She is officially the
fittest mom in the world.
I don't care about anybody else's title.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just hand her the belt.
Right.
I don't care if she wins anything else.
That's pure insanity.
Okay.
So, yeah.
So let's go back to these
leaderboards that really
don't matter anymore
because none of them have done that.
So in the West, Alex Kazan with the win,
Emily Rolfe, Abby Domet, Ariel Lohan,
Rebecca Fusile, Zoe Warren, Gabby Spenced,
Hattie Cano.
Kelsey Keough up there.
Kelsey Keough, yep.
Control Kels.
How is she in the West?
She was born and raised in Philadelphia.
Yeah.
she lives in columbus now
columbus georgia no here at
grandview unless she's
moved again can't keep up
another interesting fact is
I see devin kim here in
12th she had to withdraw
from the team because of a
back injury do we think that that was bs
I mean,
if you're 12th in the world or in
the West,
maybe she went to the same
doctor Tia did for her wrist.
Well,
Invictus announced that she was no
longer on the team,
that she needed to not go
team due to her back.
She was replaced with Chandler's wife.
And now here she sits in
12th place going to semis.
He's thinking Chandler said,
my wife's on this team now.
So what you want to do?
What you want to say?
Old friend, Kelly stone up there.
14th.
Kelsey lives in Louisiana.
I see that.
Allison's goods.
Chelsea Miller says maybe
she got the magic soccer spray on it.
um well I know that like
kelsey's being coached by
coach l at brute and he
lives in louisiana but I go
back on her instagram
charlie you you can
recognize the sights of
columbus emily white making
it back super moms on there
yep kelly kelly kelly
Formerly Kelly Clark.
Retired.
And there she is.
Jamie Hygieia.
Don't call it a comeback.
Don't call it a comeback.
There we go.
Did Christy even?
I know she's retired, but.
No, she didn't even.
Didn't even bother.
I'm sure she could have.
Yes.
Men's side, we got Vellner, Medeiros,
Brandon Luckett.
Brandon Luckett.
I just saw that name somewhere.
Oh, he's the e-mom guy.
E-mom company.
Yeah, he's Corey's coach.
Oh, then what's Corey's problem?
Brandon III.
Quant, Ibera, Grayshaber, Fikowski, Leahy,
Magda, Sprague.
All the typical.
Yep.
Sam Dancer, Masters athlete.
Very nice.
Mike Jenkins,
18-year-old champ from last year.
Mike Evans, the right receiver.
i think so tampa tampa bay
yeah that's a good job I am
brady friend of the show
louis oscar mora after two
events was nowhere close to
making it now here we are
yeah 55th and 167th then
took a first and a 28th there we go
And then let's look at the
East real quick.
It's the wrong one.
The East is crazy.
Adler, Krennikoff, Hopper, Hatfield,
Pepper, Cornwallier, Benoit, Boulanger,
Benoit, Boulanger.
Sam's not at Mayhem anymore, is he?
He's with Mayhem.
He's just not training down there.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
Benoit Boulanger is Carolyn
Lambray's other athlete other than Jeff.
Oh, okay.
Jack Rosema, Travis Mayer, Farlow, Caron,
Peter Mason, young up-and-comer,
Ben Sexton, Trey Strom.
Twins.
Back.
Tyler Christoffel, Luke Parker,
Seth Stovall, Saxon Pancheck.
Did you see his workout three score?
I did not.
659.
His brother was second.
30 seconds.
What a jump.
30 seconds.
Cam Crockett,
who also worked out at Cliffside.
Austin Spencer, Vino, Morad.
Well,
Morad's got to be 40 years old at
this point, isn't he?
He's been out here forever.
Yeah, he's top three in the Masters, too.
Well,
we don't know because that
leaderboard's not here.
Marquand Jones.
Representing us old guys.
Ben Smith.
Another old guy.
Yeah.
Taylor Self, Taylor Self versus the world,
and he makes it to semis.
Did you see his implosion?
Yeah.
Have you ever taken yourself to that spot?
No.
No.
jay birch uh with the
obvious comment ben smith
seems old but he started
really young he's also just
old uh so east uh toomey
raptus lawson brandon
powers haley adams with a
nice haley yeah erica
follow carolyn privo who else
From our Thursday night show,
she's sitting there in eighth.
Elena Savage, Brooke Wells, Paige Semenza,
Anika Greer, Fisa Goffey,
Amanda Barnhart.
Man, this East is just stacked.
Sydney Wells made it.
Kira Napoli.
Jordan Chefs.
Ashley Wozni.
You can dog her on her dancing ability.
but not our fitness.
And there we go.
So,
and let's check the age group one last
time.
Sorry.
Oh, sorry.
You'll know soon enough.
We'll tell you right about a week out.
That's just dumb.
So I know that there's a lot
of adjustments happening on
the leaderboard.
I see it in the chat.
Freya's number two workout has gone.
I know they've added, they've corrected.
And we even said it with
Rebecca before this show.
There was a lot of
adjustments on workout four
where people only put in
the max they got after the initial 30.
And not all of the reps.
You're supposed to put the
30 plus the max reps.
So there's been some adjustments on that.
Miriam, who won the Open in Europe,
she was not in the qualifying spot.
They've fixed her score.
She's now in.
Don't say it like that.
Gracie Walton.
Well,
they fixed that she didn't enter that
score correctly.
No.
uh gracie walton who took
second in the open did the
same thing they've
corrected her score I know
hattie kenyo I talked to
her last night she entered
in correctly that looks to
be corrected she's now in a
qualifying spot so um so
yeah so that's going on
that the leaderboard is
shifting a little bit here
and there over all of that
stuff um so and I'm sure
it'll continue to uh
to shift and change as uh
video reviews are done uh
rebecca said on our show
just an hour ago that she
actually has one back
already that's approved so
uh they're they are telling
them when their videos are
good so uh we should
probably see some if the
leaderboards are working
correctly uh some adjustments throughout
And I can only assume that
if a score has been pulled
for some reason,
there's probably a penalty.
Yeah.
But that would be using common sense,
and that doesn't necessarily... No.
...to what may be happening at CrossFit.
No, not here.
So... TK is asking,
are you guys doing a Meet
the Athletes series this year?
Uh, yeah,
I don't know if we're going to
call it meet the athletes.
Cause some of them now,
this will be the third year in a row.
They've been on the show for semis,
but we will do a semifinal series.
I've actually already lined
up one for next Thursday.
Um, Gabby spends two.
We've been interviewing the
last couple of years.
Um, uh,
is she finished top 10 in the West?
for semis or for the quarters.
So she's coming on next week at 2 p.m.
Eastern time.
Just booked her right before
I went on with Rebecca.
But I'm going to start
reaching out to all of them
and see what we can do there.
Anything else going on?
Had a fun trip in Michigan.
Did some karaoke.
Oh, nice.
I thought a long time ago
when I had all this sinus stuff,
I'd never be able to sing again.
Yeah.
Now you're like a songbird.
I did one song.
Jamie taped it, put it out on the gram.
Oh, I'll have to check this out.
But that was fun to do that
with her gym community.
We went to like a little barbecue joint.
They had darts and karaoke
and a bunch of stuff.
It was really fun.
Wow.
All right.
uh holly while she's on here
huge shout out if you guys
have noticed all of our
shows now are chaptered and
it's because of her um
typing that up for me and
then I just entered into
the thing and now all of
our shows are chaptered
fantastic she's gonna have
fun with this show because
I don't even know if we we
didn't make through a format
Blah, blah, Andrea Nistler, blah, blah.
Andrea's a VA.
Yeah.
Two guys talk about moms.
That's a good call.
So we have the draft this week.
Since it's just you and I,
we can talk about this and
Amy doesn't shush us.
Yeah.
You looking for anything during the draft?
You don't have a pro team, do you?
I mean, the Panthers kind of, so no,
not really.
Because you have our pick.
Or their pick, I should say.
So yeah, good luck to you with him.
With Caleb Williams?
Yeah.
You don't think he's going to be good?
I mean, I think he'll be okay.
I don't know that he's as
good as they're making him
to be the next Patrick Mahomes.
I would love to have Andrea
Nestler on the show.
I have efforted her several
times while doing this show.
I don't think she checks her
messages very much.
I feel like we had her on once.
Never her.
We've had Taylor on a couple times.
Taylor Williamson.
Never had her on.
Maybe it was at
she was at an event we were
at yeah I mean I i I mean
I've talked to her in
person it's just the the
art of getting people on
the show is being able to
get past on instagram to go
into the primary email
Once you can get in there,
then everything's cool.
Or you get their number finally,
and you can just text them.
And Chelsea's probably right.
She's too busy being a badass.
That's very true.
Especially now.
We really have problems.
Yeah.
But to have Amy reach out to
her with her childhood development...
do you remember it at semis
when she was with the
mayhem team she would
someone bet her um like it
was like a thousand dollars
to do the row with with the
goggles on yes and she did
it and gave the money to
charity yeah I love people like that um
team or gym tk net he thinks
like I don't try these
things we'll dm her mom
we're gonna be able to
listen we're trying to get
whatever we can when I was
trying to get stacy tovar
on for three years like I
dm'd her mom her sister her
husband like everybody yeah
She started listening to our
show because she was doing
homework for announcing at
the North America West last year.
And then she reached out to
me for background stuff.
And that's how I got her on the show.
It just fluke happened that way.
Smoke signals, carrier pigeons, you know,
all that stuff.
of the funniest stories is I
met danielle brandon at
mayhem classic in 2020. yep
she gave me her number that
day and it still took me
like a year to get her on
the show yeah with her
number acr says have I gone
to her house yeah knock on
the door hey is this the
home of the badass
Candy Graham.
In a shark outfit.
Channel your inner creeper stalker.
There you go.
Where's Wadzabi when you need him?
I don't know.
Dude,
that guy was on fire over the weekend.
You know,
those memes he had to be sending
to Dallin and Colton.
where they were looking out
did you see the one like
it's from a movie and it
was dallen look at or was
it it was colton looking
out the window and it was
dallen and jason wrestling
or kissing oh no oh my gosh
I'd look for it
chelsea said I should go to
her head house with a boom
box over my head I don't
know she's too young to
probably get that reference
I'm looking for the lady
who qualified for semis
while having a baby
Yeah,
Wad Zombie crushed it over the weekend.
So that dude's on fire.
We're still looking at doing a show.
We just wanted to get
through quarterfinals where
we highlight some memes and
some podcasts from the week.
But we got to meet and talk about that.
draft is this week I've been
trying to get in all like
the whole bit way back from
michigan I was listening to
podcasts with with caleb
williams trying to learn as
much as I could about him
and I'm more now than I was
you gotta ask him how to
protect him he's not
running for his life we
have a good we have a good
offensive line now
not great same thing a good
who said that the bangles
said the same thing I'd
like a new left tackle but
other than that I think
we're pretty good uh tkane
says do you think andrea
can qualify as an
individual for the games I do not
As much of a fact is that she's a badass.
She's still, I think,
she's close to a master's age.
She's in a tough group.
Yeah.
Well, the West is better than the East,
for sure.
But still,
there's some really fit ladies out there.
Mm-hmm.
so and there was no real
well wall balls did have
squatting but nothing with
like a heavy load and that
would be rough after a
pregnancy wouldn't it not
that I've been through it
I'm not even my guess
judgment on that that's
what they say when we had
two ladies on the show I
could answer that yeah
All right.
All right.
Well,
that's another week of the roundtable.
We haven't done the TV movie
show in a while.
Anything worth watching on the streams?
Not that I've seen lately.
Yeah.
Welcome to Wrexham's coming
back at the beginning of May.
I'm looking forward to that.
did you have you checked out
uh what's the new one

is that what John Cena no
it's a video do you ever
play the video game no most
frustrating video game I've
ever played so that's why I
haven't watched the show I
always get lost
It's like an apocalyptic
area of the world.
The last one I played was in Boston.
And you can go into Fenway
Park and explore and do different things.
But I always get lost in the
desert and attacked by
radioactive wolves.
Oh, that's good.
Apparently Corey said it's
amazing or outstanding.
Yeah, but that's Corey's opinion.
Yeah, Walter Goggins is in it.
Yeah, it's like a post-apocalyptic thing.
And so lots of makeup,
lots of people with weird.
So, all right.
I like the guy with the
skull mask looking face deal.
That's been that meme for a while.
They're sitting in the car
next to the guy.
That could be something else.
