We also bring you Breaking News, Human Interest Stories and report on the Methodology of CrossFit. We also use the methodology to make ourselves the fittest we can be.
What's going on, everybody?
Welcome to the Sunday Night CrossFit Talk.
We're on a little bit early
tonight because...
I love the Chicago Bears,
and they're on at eight fifteen tonight.
So my co-hosts were gracious
tonight and allowed me the
opportunity to watch them.
And we would just go early.
And if you like the eight o'clock time,
all you do is hit the
replay button at eight o'clock.
Great.
That works.
You can watch at that time if you wish.
But we wanted to come on and.
even though I thought it was
going to be kind of a slow
little news week, uh,
we got a little bit of,
a little bit of excitement
this week with some announcements.
Um, and, um, we have, we awards, uh,
CrossFit games,
the adaptive CrossFit games
this weekend coming up that
can be live streamed as well as, um,
the tier cup water Palooza.
So Cal is going on this weekend as well.
so we got we're going to
preview a little bit of
that and then we're going
to talk to carolyn about
her podium finish last week
and we haven't got to see
you since then so
congratulations in person
thank you um so and the
other thing is don't forget
to like subscribe join the
channel hit the notifier so
you know when we're going
to be on um the other thing
we've talked about is
We have loved the Sunday
night additions of this.
It started as a Thursday
night CrossFit talk.
It moved to Sunday night
because the demand really
called for that.
But with football season here,
we want to put it out to you,
the audience.
Do you still like the Sunday
night time for this show?
Or would you like to see it
on another night or another time?
This is the only Sunday
night game the Bears have all year.
So I don't need to go
earlier any other week.
But just putting it out there,
if you are...
if you want it on a different night or you,
because of football season, we,
we are open to moving it.
But we have definitely got
more demand on Sunday night
than we have on any night
we have run this show.
And so we want to stick with that.
If you guys want us to, if not,
we're cool with like
considering some other,
other options as well.
Yeah, because of the Bears.
We're one to know.
And for Chicago Bears fans,
that is as much hope as
we've had in the last twenty five years.
I know, Andrew,
we're interrupting the
Chiefs Bengals game and it
actually is really tight.
Is it?
It is really tight.
It's like seven, eight, sixteen.
Woo.
Yeah.
It's on commercial right now.
I'll be here.
My wife is upstairs watching
the Steeler Bronco game.
Um, so yeah.
So moving times,
we're going to hit somebody, something,
um, you know, at some point.
So we just want to make sure like, if,
if you love Sunday nights,
we'll keep it Sunday nights,
eight o'clock and keep moving forward.
Uh, Lynn loves Sunday nights.
Haven't missed one since it moved to the,
the, this time slot.
Awesome.
Well, continue to write it there,
or if you're watching on replay,
throw it in the comments,
and we'll consider anything.
But it looks like just with
the response we have now,
we'll probably keep it at
Sunday nights for now.
But we will definitely.
Andrew Sten votes for Sunday
nights as well.
I'm looking for Lana in the comments.
She's usually there cheering
for the Lions.
I'm curious how she felt
about our game today.
She must not be on tonight.
Wallowing in the sorrows.
A little bit of an upset, huh?
Yeah.
It was a bad finish.
The Niners lost too, so I'm sad.
I'm sad because they lost.
I'm a bandwagon Niners fan.
Since Lex.
I can't cheer for another
team in that house.
That's fair.
The Niners are a likable team.
Very likable.
It was an easy bandwagon move.
Like they, when I was a kid,
I hated the forty Niners.
Like I hated the Joe Montana, Jerry Rice,
because they were winning everything.
And, you know,
but these guys are kind of like,
I love Christian McCaffrey.
I'm sorry.
He's on the injured reserve
list right now.
Oh, Lana.
Lana's too sad to talk.
I hear you.
So how's, how's,
how have your weeks been ladies?
Mine's been busy just after three days of,
uh, school or three, two and a half days.
Cause I went to,
I took a half day on Monday.
Um,
but just playing catch up on what was
actually done when I was away.
And, um,
getting work for the first
couple of weeks of school.
That for me is always more
stressful is like the first week,
week and a bit,
because nothing's really
established for like routines yet.
And then once you're in the flow of things,
it's, it just gets like easier.
So it's just been stressful.
Just again, stuff going.
Does your workload change
from year to year?
Cause I know you teach multiple subjects.
Do you get a different ratio
kind of every year?
Um, like this, um,
This semester I have a
leadership class that I've
never taught before.
Normally I have like two
math classes or a math and
science and then a fitness class.
But then I just found out
this week that one of the
teachers moved away.
So they're looking for a math teacher.
So I might actually possibly
lose that leadership class and
get my math class that I normally have.
Um, so that's also stressful this weekend.
It's like possibly preparing
for a class that I actually
won't be teaching after this week.
Wow.
But I would, I,
I hope to teach the math class.
I like that math class a lot.
Were you, were you sore?
Are you feeling okay?
I was so sore from Kelsu.
So sore.
It took me many days after.
It would almost be like a
bruising feeling when I
would squat because I
wasn't ready for loading.
Mostly just that one.
Upper body felt fine.
Just the quads from that.
That's why I did Kelsu two
weeks before so nothing
could touch that soreness.
I got to the games like I
was like I'm I'm good I'm
gonna be good I mean the
females I mean we didn't
fully do kelsey only colton
did the full one hundred
but I mean we were pretty
close like um yeah liz and
I were you know less than
ten reps away so right
pretty close to all that
volume um yeah that was a
tough workout uh lex asked
jamie how's tennis
Uh, yeah, it's, I mean,
I'm happy that I'm in like my off season.
Cause it is a lot like we're
in our second week of Tuesday, Thursday,
Saturday.
So I've got three,
we got our third week
coming up this week of Tuesday, Thursday,
Saturday.
Um, so it's just, it's a lot.
He's, he's doing good.
Um, he plays four singles.
He did, um, uh,
last year hazlet one of the
schools near us um we never
beat hazlet um I feel like
the last several years it's
been all four doubles will
win and all four singles
will lose and so we we
split four and four um and
last year lucas played four
singles and won that match
so it was like it was the
first time that they beat
hazlet that I know of like
in like last ten fifteen years um
So I felt like he had a lot
of pressure on him to win
the four singles again this
year and he didn't end up winning.
So they ended up splitting four,
four again.
And I felt like he just, I don't know.
He looked like a different kid out there.
Like he was like discouraged and, um,
but he went on Thursday.
So that was good.
And then he took second in
the invitational they just
had on Saturday.
So hopefully he's getting
some confidence back.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
Sports are, are rough on the psyche.
That's for sure.
it, it, it's hard to watch him.
Like,
and there's so many rules with tennis.
I just can't like,
like you can't talk to them.
You can't, I, I, I don't get it.
Like we got yelled at Aaron and I,
cause we like,
they needed to switch sides, you know,
every two serves they switch.
And I just like, I just did this to Lucas.
It wasn't trying to comment
on score or anything.
I was just making sure the
kids didn't play another set,
another game there on that
side of the court.
And they're like, you can't say anything.
And I'm like,
just I don't care if it's
even against my kid I just
want to keep things fair
out there like it's just
it's it was eighty six
degrees hot like they don't
need to be doing extra does
you want to play after
graduation I have no idea I
you know I'd I'd be curious
if when he go like I think
he might end up going to
msu um if they have like a
club team if he would
keep keep at it he's got
watching him is crazy
because he's gotten so much
better just even this year
just over the last few
weeks um I can't even like
play with him anymore so I
don't know yeah that's cool
yeah um lex asked how I'm
doing and my wife's knee
surgery soon so we went to
pennsylvania this weekend
to see my mom and julie
went to see her parents um
those are rough trips now
because with Julie's knee
and the shape it's in,
our parents buy the,
this furniture that's like
lower to the ground.
And it just,
it makes it so hard for Julie
to get up out of a chair
like all the time.
So she has to like sit in a
dining room chair or
something like that most of the weekend.
And it's just hard.
Um,
But the surgery is coming soon.
It's actually January.
So Julie's lost twenty eight
pounds for people who don't know.
She's working very hard so
that when the surgery happens,
she wants to get as much
weight off as possible.
So the recovery is better.
and faster.
And she made the decision to
go till January because she
wants the opportunity to
lose more weight before it comes.
I've tried to convince her,
you're in so much pain now,
like rehab pain is going to
be there regardless.
I would rather like get after it
But the cool thing is we
switched back to my
insurance and they have
sent her a program where
she gets an iPad and they
do virtual physical therapy
with her up to five days a week for free.
Wow.
Wow.
Ten to twenty minutes a day.
Um, so she's going to start on that now.
Um, and it all takes,
it takes into account like
that she's using a cane
right now and that she
can't put full weight on
her knees because of where they are,
but it's designed to like
strengthen the muscles around that.
So when it comes time for the surgery,
she'll be prepared.
So we really lucked out with that.
We got that in the mail last week.
She signed up and that'll
come hopefully this week
and she can start with that.
I'm excited for her.
Yeah,
I think it'll be life changing for us,
period.
My only issue with the trip is my back.
Just not having my furniture, my bed, my,
you know, typical thing.
And sometimes the bed my mom
has is really comfortable, and I am fine.
But I woke up this morning just, like,
all jacked up.
So it's getting it loosened
up today before bed so that
it feels better tomorrow
and ready to get after things.
But, yep.
But there we go.
So first topic of discussion
tonight is going to be a NorCal Classic,
which you've already
started with some Cal-Su discussion.
But...
Kellen,
walk us through what the weekend
was like because it started
off rough and it ended really awesome.
And I'm sure there's a lot in between.
Yeah,
it started off fine in the run and
then...
I don't know what's going on with my body,
but I just have never done
well with heat and running.
And this isn't the first
time that this has happened.
This happened to me in Dubai,
this happened to me at ruck
run at the games in like post ruck run.
I was really, really struggling.
I ended up having grabbed
out like the next day, um,
after Mary and then the
semifinals this year.
But this one was like the
worst one of them all.
Um,
I finished the race like I
was keeping us keeping
close to Trista basically the whole run.
Like she was probably so
annoyed at my mouth
breathing behind her as I was running.
But I was just like,
I'm not at the pack that's
in front of that.
So I'm just going to stay
close to her and see if I
can out sprint her at the end.
Like that was my plan in the run.
I know that she was one of the ones,
one of the competitors I
had to stay close during,
like during the event.
So I was like,
I may as well stay close to her.
And then I was,
I just kept looking at my
watch in that run.
It was like,
it was supposed to be five
point five miles.
I think it was maybe a
little bit more than that.
Um, but yeah,
I just was starting to overheat.
Like my feet were getting
hot and then the last
kilometer and a bit I let Trista go.
And then I just was holding on for,
for dear life.
I ended up making it to the finish line,
but then collapsed.
And then they got like ice
all over me for a while.
Like they were keeping my
head up or else I was just
gonna fall forward or
wherever the direction was going.
And then they brought a Jeep
and took me to the top.
The firefighters were there
trying to get me to go to the hospital.
I just didn't know,
like as a Canadian being in the States,
like,
like I know I'm insured like in
Canada with my work, but I just like,
wasn't sure with all of that.
So I'm like,
I'm not going to the hospital.
I'm good.
Like everything's good.
And like, um,
so we ended up like waiting
it out a little bit up,
like at the top of the place,
ended up like puking there
for a little bit.
And then Lex and I made the
decision to go back to the
hotel and see whether
everything was just going to settle down.
Cause at that point it was
only ten forty five AM and
my next event wasn't until seven thirty.
So we tried going back to the hotel.
We chilled,
tried to get some sort of fluid
in me or food.
Nothing was staying down.
Like it was just coming out.
Like I was just puking for
like the whole afternoon.
So then Lex drove me to the
ER and then I got two bags of fluid.
Like even after the first one,
I wasn't fully great.
At that point,
like I was ready to withdraw.
And then like Lex and I were
making plans to go to the
movies the next day.
We're like, no,
we're just gonna go by the
event a little bit and, you know,
socialize.
And then the afternoon we'll
go watch a movie.
And, you know,
like I was set on withdrawing.
I'm like, there's no way,
like the events in a couple, like two,
three hours,
like I'm still here at the hospital.
And then like,
I'm getting a text message
or not text message,
Instagram message from one
of my competitors that
asked how I was doing.
Lauren Stalwood.
I've never even spoken to her before,
but she reached out and she
asked how I was doing.
And then she was like,
just get your head in the game.
Come back to the event.
I have a change of clothes
for you if you need it.
She was like,
these two events aren't as
like taxing on the body.
Just see what you can do.
And then on the Friday, like,
or on the next day,
like if you don't feel good type thing.
And then I just started
reflecting and I was like, you know what?
Like these two gymnastics
specialist events aren't that bad.
hard on the body in terms of
um where my stomach was at
that at that point so I got
out of the hospital it may
have been five forty five
we was about half hour from
the venue we went there and
an hour later I was on the
competition floor doing
circles around the that pull-up bar um
Yeah.
That event I was fine with
the handstand event.
I was really disappointed in
my performance there.
And I don't know whether my
heat exhaustion from the
morning had any factors in
my handstand walk being not
as good as I normally am,
but that was a poor finish for me,
which normally would be a
pretty strong one.
Um,
I ended up diving to the,
like almost diving to the
finish line on the
backwards walk at one point.
And I didn't think anything of it.
Didn't feel anything during the event.
And then that night when I was showering,
I was like, Lex,
there's something wrong with my shoulder.
I did something to my
shoulder the next morning.
I couldn't even hold a bar
empty barbell above my head.
So I was ready to withdraw again.
Um, I'm like, this isn't worth it.
I did something to my shoulder.
And then somehow, uh,
like once I started warming up,
like I could feel it a little bit,
but then I was able to snatch.
very good for me and
finished the weekend with
no pain on the competition floor.
Um, so yeah,
it was a very up and down
weekend because I was ready
to withdraw multiple times.
So just happy to finish it,
finished my swimming event.
But yeah, I think she makes fun of me.
This is what Lex says.
She says she has pretendinitis.
She thinks I pretend that I'm injured.
And I'm like, no, I swear it is hurting.
There's something wrong with it.
Anyways,
I ended up getting an MRI this week.
So waiting for the results of that.
I'm calling my doctor tomorrow.
So, yeah.
But most of the events went as planned.
The one I'm the most
disappointed with is the handstand walk.
I feel like I could have
been a top five in that one.
I was like seventeenth or eighteenth.
I didn't really know what
the tiebreaker was.
A lot of us tied and I was
in the first heat at that point.
So we just didn't know what
the tiebreaker was.
Yeah, that one, the swim is what it is.
I never do well in the swim.
I think I was one of the
last ones out of the water again.
so you you killed the end of
the weekend like with two
seconds to get it was more
crossfit like to like I did
I had the most top fives um
within the group but I just
have I had too many holes
right I had my swimming
event wasn't good and my
handstand walk event wasn't
good um but mostly like the
crossfit stuff I was good
at so I wanted to get your
opinion on this lynn talks about
She wanted to know your
opinion on the bucket hold thing.
What was your strategy other
than not to drop it?
And then I heard on Barbell Spin,
the organizers say that
they actually eliminated
that score because of
judging inconsistencies.
And when I heard that, I thought,
what a breath of fresh air.
They took the opportunity to
correct something they saw
in judging inconsistencies
to remove that from the
overall score and allow it
not to affect the leaderboard.
I thought it was the right move.
Um,
I have no idea where like my time would
have been.
I think it like,
it was pretty close to what
I had heard from the other people,
but it just, as the weekend went on,
like there was just
different people working
that station and the
standard was not the same
at the briefing.
We were supposed to hold my
shoulders hurting a little
bit at ninety degree.
And then as I got to the place.
The bucket could be at the at the aisle.
It was like you can't have
your your hands above the eyes.
Now, when I got there,
it was the bucket could be
at your eyes level.
People weren't exactly there.
They're a little bit more in front.
Some people,
their wrists couldn't be bent.
Sorry, I'm going to go like this.
They had to be like this,
holding the bucket there.
So there were so many
different iterations of the
workout from the Friday to
the Saturday at seven when
it was due that like it, it wasn't fair.
Like it literally wasn't
fair to judge that for that
to be a hundred point when it
It was all over the map.
So what they did was
basically if you did the event,
because you had to sign up
and do the event.
So some people may have
forgotten to do it or didn't sign up.
So they got zero points.
But if you showed up and did the event,
you got fifty points at least.
It was like just for doing it.
And then the ones that got
the win overall ended up
getting a barbell.
So I think it's the best
that they could have done.
I always expect some like
different events at NorCal Classic.
They've done that for many years.
Like last year, um,
they had like the double broad jump.
They had a, the,
they did the pullovers in
the backwards Hanson walk a
little bit last year,
but like Lex has always told me,
cause she's competed at
NorCal many times that this
is what they do.
They always do some unique
stuff and things that you
don't see at other comps,
but glad that they, um,
address the issue of that challenge.
Um, so the,
so CrossFit says basically it
was a CrossFit pass fail course.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And like some people were saying like,
well, what about, uh,
like that was hard on the body and, um,
or sorry, uh,
like the inconsistencies in judges,
you know, from lane to lane on a workout,
what's the difference
between that and this event?
But I think this was way different than,
um,
an event where you're getting more rep,
no reps than someone else
or someone getting away with something.
Like, I think this was,
there was significant
differences in the
challenge hold from person to person.
Jamie, your thoughts on them canceling it?
Yeah.
I mean, I,
that one would be frustrating if
you knew that you weren't
allowed to hold like that.
And some people did, or whether like,
whatever it was,
if somebody saw something
like pretty different and there's a,
The Arnold did a similar
thing with the axes and you
could see that the judging
there was even like
slightly inconsistent.
They would get called at
different points of when to
when they're starting to drop.
So, yeah,
if it's if it's not going to be
consistent.
And I think that's the
problem with a floater WOD
like that is it's not just like a group,
a lane of people doing it
once where it's visible to see.
So I don't know if that
floater WOD is the best,
if it can't be done in the
same day with the same
people in charge of that event.
Yeah,
I just I like the way they handled it.
I've never really heard of a
pretty major competition doing that.
And I thought it was in the
best interest of all and
all people participating.
So I thought that was cool.
And that should be
highlighted as something
they did that that others have not.
So kudos to them.
Yeah.
clock says a sack town deck
can definitely get hot in the summer.
I've seen two week heat
waves with temps from one Oh two to one,
ten gets old fast.
And it was one Oh five that day of the run,
right?
Yeah,
there was multiple people that had
heat exhaustion.
I think one athlete for sure, one male,
didn't come back to the
competition after his heat stroke.
I know another guy that came
back that night,
I saw him on the handstand walk event.
But yeah,
there was multiple people
struggling with the heat there.
Yeah.
Did you feel like the PFAA
failed at setting up safety
for that event?
I don't think that they were in charge.
The only thing the PFA did
with that one is the NorCal
ran the swimming protocols
with the PFA just to make
sure that they could go on
with the swimming under
like a checklist that they provided them.
And the PFA looked over the swim.
Nothing of the event was
looked over by the PFA, just the swim.
Hmm.
Yeah,
I got corrected on that on Tuesday on
the roundtable.
Oh, interesting.
So, yeah.
And when you go out and read
all the actual words under
the pictures and stuff,
it's very clear that they
only were partnering on the swim event.
Interesting.
The next thing I wanted to
bring up is the European
Championships secretly getting canceled.
Yes.
So not only do you cancel an event,
but then you don't tell the
people that are coming to
the event that you've canceled it.
What's that?
Is it on Netflix or there
was like a concert or
something that got canceled?
Firefest.
Yeah, that's basically that.
Yep.
CrossFit's version of Firefest.
Wow.
Make all these promises,
do all these qualifiers to get there.
And then when it's time for the finals,
you just shut it down and
don't tell a soul.
Thank goodness for Jason CF
media for alerting the world, getting on,
doing a quick Instagram post,
tagging everybody he knew
in the media space to get it out.
So people wouldn't waste
their money going to an event.
Um, man, what a shame.
When is it?
When was it supposed to be?
I think it was supposed to
be this weekend.
So like people for sure had
like probably
non-refundable airline tickets.
That's awful.
I mean,
CrossFit brings up the people who
failed to pay.
which we had at can West.
We had events in, in Europe as well.
That was all around the COVID time.
Like,
and so I was hoping like once we got
past that, like things would be better.
And we were on a pretty good run.
So this one, um, wow.
but there's no regulatory
body on these events.
So there's no way to even
try to prevent this from
happening at this point.
So I don't even know, but man,
I think if you're a competitor, you've,
you've really got a, yeah, I don't know.
Yeah.
It's tough.
Like you want to pick
competitions that are reputable, right?
Like, and they had someone wrote, um,
they had problems.
Yes.
Like years ago,
maybe that if that same
event had problems year, years ago.
Um, that's why I like,
I like going to the NorCal classic.
Like I,
I had a great experience last year.
Uh,
they paid right at the podium right
there.
Everything was organized.
Well, I was on time.
It's like, I just, you know what you get.
Right.
And then same with crash
crucible coming up.
What a palooza.
Like, you know what you get from there.
Like every year when you, when you go to,
um, Florida, you get a lot of rain.
Um,
But the SoCal one, I'm assuming,
will be a similar style of
event as what we're used to.
But sometimes you just don't
know when you go to these events.
I've been doing this online...
competition for the last,
it's like a quarterly competition.
And I've had a few people
message me because they
haven't messaged us for the last prizing.
And they're like, they just,
so I'm waiting to see
whether we're affected
because it's been like almost, you know,
three, four weeks.
And normally they're like
right after sending us the message.
So who knows?
Like a lot of,
a lot of competitions promise things.
That they're not ready to give.
And I don't know why they
promise all these prizing
money and stuff like that.
If they don't have that money already,
they're ready to give.
I just think that there's a
lot of bad business people out there.
Yeah.
With good hearts trying to
like good intention, but just bad,
bad plans.
And yeah.
Yeah, I agree.
I agree.
You would think a budget has this,
this bucket is for this,
this bucket is for that.
And you don't steal from the
prize bucket to pay for the
banners at the venue, right?
Like
You don't.
Right.
So, but I don't, people,
people that run these competitions are,
are probably not people who are,
have run a small business either.
Right.
They're gym owners or, well,
I guess that is a small business.
So yeah, nevermind.
There's a reason a lot of
those are in financial trouble too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let's talk about the Rogue queue.
I'm going to try to pull up
the leaderboard.
As Rogue often does,
they posted their leaderboard,
and it shifts and it
changes because of
everything that's happened.
And so...
Because they have the most
stringent rules in online
competitions of any competition.
And you know that going in.
There is no,
you can't use it as an excuse.
You can't say you didn't
know because it is what it is.
So here is the leaderboard
as it stands as of this moment.
So I will blow this up.
And there's been penalties.
And in the past,
Rogue has changed the
leaderboard as they've
given out the penalties.
But this year,
they've frozen the
leaderboard until I think
all the penalties are addressed.
Because I think that was of
concern in the past year.
People were complaining that
the leaderboard just kept changing.
People were like, oh,
just wait until it's fully done.
So right now,
I haven't seen any changes
since the original night.
And then I'm assuming this
week we'll get an update.
So as it stands currently,
Georges Kerevis is in the lead.
Tudor Magda, after doing NorCal,
still qualified.
And you know we are big
Tudor fans on this show.
I wonder if he did any on the Thursday.
One.
He did one.
And then the rest of them, yeah.
yeah crazy um and then cole
grease saber in third jorge
fernandez in fourth and
trayvon traven benton uh in
fifth who is longtime
friend of the show he's
been on a couple times to
our semi-final series um
and is abby domet's training partner
For people who don't know.
But he is.
And he's always at Waterpalooza.
He's always at those
mid-major competitions that
aren't necessarily the games.
But great kid, too.
I say kid.
He's got like a wife and a
kid and himself.
But I'm old.
So that is the men's side.
On the female side...
Mano Anganese is in first,
Jamie Simmons in second,
Sydney Wells in third,
Emmett Tull in fourth, and the Rogue,
other than our very own Carolyn Prevost,
the other Rogue challenge champion,
Taylor Williamson in fifth.
And Dana's doing well this year as well.
Yeah.
I was really surprised and
really glad to see her up there,
whether she gets in or not.
What a confidence builder to
go toe to toe in this, in this qualifier.
There was a lot of power
output strength in the workouts.
And besides Jamie, like you can just tell,
like, these are some,
some good bike or you have
to be good on the echo bike
with that one workout
strong with the barbell.
Where's our,
where's our friend Hattie sit in?
I think a little bit lower, like,
seventeenth or something.
Holy cow, there's a lot of names on here.
Yeah.
I don't see Hattie right now.
I'd have to go to the next page.
Crazy for Manon, though.
She qualifies every year
through the queue.
Every year.
Very consistent there.
Last year, I think, got second.
This year wins it.
Someone who didn't get the games this year,
so.
Yeah, and Rogue suits her.
Yeah.
And then good for Amartal for getting,
you know,
her redemption from not being able to,
well, deciding not to do the games.
Mm-hmm.
Taylor's someone that, you know,
would be exciting to see at
Rogue because of her
wheelhouses that she can, that she has.
She would mess up the
leaderboard for sure.
Yep.
Yep.
Yes,
definitely with like machine baser if
there's a max lift.
Same with Dana as well if
she could sneak in there.
They have some very good,
like they're specialists in some stuff.
Yeah,
it's been a while since we've seen
Taylor as an individual too.
Yeah.
So it'd be cool to see that.
She saw Andrea perform at
the Masters and she's like, you know what,
let me get on this Indy train.
Yeah.
Lynn asked Carolyn,
why didn't you do the cue?
The workout seemed to suit you perfectly.
Did you hear her say she did
two bags of fluid at the
hospital the weekend before
just to get to the end?
Yeah, I had a rough weekend.
So I think I was just happy
to finish my NorCal and
I'll take it there.
Yeah.
Lynn points out her own bias
that she's very happy to
see Jorge up there.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's a lot of names on this.
Rogue gets their pick of the
litter every year.
That is for sure.
So there is that.
Before we get into the next topic,
one thing I have to remind you, tomorrow,
tomorrow, twelve thirty p.m.
Eastern Standard Time.
The next episode of Behind the Scenes,
all access behind the
scenes of the Masters CrossFit Games.
This is going to be more the
length of what you're going to see.
This one is just a little
bit over twenty minutes
long because it only
focuses on one event.
And that is the deadlift run,
which our very own Jamie
Latimer won in her age group.
And she hid from me,
so I didn't get a single
bit of footage from her
after this for the behind the scenes.
I thought we were friends,
but she went into hiding
after every event.
I did not.
I didn't see you.
I would have talked to you.
You never came to the warm-up area.
I now believe you do not
warm up for any events.
I was in the warm-up area for like,
you saw me in the warm-up area.
Don't even.
Once.
You mean afterward?
You're under the impression
I don't cool down?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't really love to cool down.
Did you have a lot of time
between your events there?
Not really, no.
Between that one and the... No,
I had like two hours.
Okay.
Well,
there was some events you had a long
time.
One...
On the third day, there was, like,
a four-hour break between
the second and third event.
But there was, like, only, like,
a two-ish hour break
between the first two events most days.
I guess I was starting with the fifty-six,
fifty-five to sixty-five plus at, like,
eight in the morning.
Yeah.
You guys didn't even roll in until, like,
eleven noon.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And the men were worse.
The men didn't even start till two.
Yeah.
Like, it was crazy.
yeah tomorrow twelve thirty
p.m eastern standard time
uh another killer cut by uh ortega
uh, on the workout.
Um, we got some great footage, uh,
before and after with people.
Um, so I hope you like it.
This will be kind of the
format going forward.
And as I said,
they get better and better as it goes.
Um, but the other thing is day one,
we had full access to the warmup area.
I could walk up to anybody
on an echo bike.
I could walk up while they
were dead lifting.
So this, these first three,
these first three workouts,
you'll see more intimate stuff.
Cause I could walk right up to them.
once that day one is over
our access changed so that
changes a little bit too
but hopefully I I talked to
joe this week and this is a
good proof of concept and
he can see what we're
trying to do and that we're
not trying to burn their
house down we're trying to
pump it up um and that we
can get more and better
access at moving forward
will they be sharing your stuff as well
So they finally shared one
piece of thing I put out on
Instagram this weekend,
and hopefully that continues to go.
Lex is asking if I've gotten
any feedback from the comp at all.
The only feedback I got is I
thanked Joe for the access,
for letting us come in and do this,
that we couldn't do it without him.
And he wrote back,
thank you for being there.
We appreciate you.
but nothing on the actual
footage or the actual,
but hopefully like as,
as more competitors watch it,
because I know it's getting
shared amongst the competitors now.
And then they're sharing it
as more people get rolling through that.
Hopefully it gets back to
them in a different way than just for me.
Yes.
I want to make a partnership with,
with Bob and Joe.
I want to do this every year.
This was so much fun for me.
I love these athletes and I
love the stories they have.
And the more I'm there,
the more intimate this will
become as we get to know
each other more and more.
And they know why I'm there.
I don't have to explain, hey,
I'm doing a behind the scenes, blah, blah,
blah.
People will come in knowing what that is.
Right.
And then be more open.
I don't know why they took
away your access.
If you were there to do behind the scenes.
I don't,
I don't want to get into it too
much because I still was
able to get good stuff.
I was still allowed in the warmup area.
I had the access level of a coach.
I did not have the access
level of an athlete or a
media person that could do
And,
and maybe Jamie can back me up on this.
They did the team's
competition at the same time.
The teams took over the
warmup area when they were back there.
It was unsafe when everybody
was back there with their coaches.
Yeah.
So the band I got for being
a coach got nixed because
there were too many people
in the warmup area and it
was becoming unsafe.
I get that,
but maybe I needed a different
color band.
Yes.
Absolutely.
So, but again,
this is the first time I've
ever done this before.
And so I need to prove that
why we're doing this and
we're there to highlight these athletes,
not to drag anybody down.
Um, so yeah.
Lana actually allowed me the
higher access.
She was guarding the warm-up area day one.
And I don't want her to get in trouble.
She let me go.
And you'll see in this next episode,
I'm right there as they're deadlifting.
I'm there as they're cooling
down on the bike.
It's really close.
And you get more...
you get more um intimate
talk after when they're
like on the bike cooling
down because you're not
interfering they're just
they're just moving their
legs to flush everything
out I'm not interrupting
anything they're doing um
and so it was really cool
uh just seems odd that they
like that like we don't
have people showcasing the
masters and scott was there
to do just that and then
they take it away
I think that they were in
such a weeds element set
day to morning that they
didn't have time to sort out the mess.
I'm giving them the benefits of doubt,
but even,
and there's a lot of stuff
coming in here.
I,
My becoming better may have been because I,
my access was limited
because I had to talk to coaches.
I got to talk to,
and then once you talk to the coach,
then the athlete comes over
and then you get the
conversation between them.
Like it just becomes different.
Um, so yeah.
And you get conversations
that had nothing to do with CrossFit.
Yeah.
that's going to be in some
of these episodes as we go
go down the road that are
just hilarious I couldn't
believe that that's what
they were talking about but
anyway let's move on I'm
not mad I'm not mad at
legends I'm happy that I
got the access I did I'm
happy that I got to do this
pace is really good I have a
nice schedule for the week
to get these out um and
holly does her thing ortega
does his thing it all comes
together on like friday
morning and then I load it
up there and get it out
there and make a trailer
and boom and then we're on
to the next week cortez has
been a busy man he has
because he was a norcal
too so yeah I need I need
time to just kind of chat
with him a little bit once
he gets in one place for a
while so let's talk about
the adaptive crossfit games
um I'm gonna pull up their
instagram real quick
because they've announced a
lot of the workouts and I
don't know if we can go
through them because there
are so many divisions but
like here's their first announcement
And everything is a reel.
So if you go to CrossFit or go to them,
you can check this out.
Kevin Ogar explains what it is.
If you look in the description,
it's a two thousand meter row,
two thousand meter ski and
a one mile run.
But then there are
variations for every different division.
And what better kind of shows this.
And I'm really promoting the
wheel wide Instagram page.
All this stuff is there.
So you go to Enter Sandman,
and the reel starts, and here it is.
Here's upper one point.
This is their version,
and it morphs into upper two point.
And so they run through all
the different variations in
these reels for all the
different divisions.
So they've done a really
nice job for these if you
want to go see what
workouts are happening this
weekend at Wheelwod.
And they have a lot of the,
so this one is a click through, but it's,
here's the vision hanging phrase.
Here's the seated hanging phrase.
Seated two.
C to three.
You have all the versions.
What is a phrase?
It's Fran and Grace together.
I was just about to say I like the name.
That's cool.
It's Fran and Grace.
Grace has thirty reps.
I like it.
It's hanging because it's a
hang cleaner jerk.
Got it.
Or you're hanging from the pull-up bar.
that too.
But it, but it is a hang clean and jerk.
Yep.
Yep.
Yeah.
And I think the hang
actually lets them have to
modify as much throughout
the different divisions.
Um, so, but yeah, I love the way they,
they use the Instagram
reels to do this and go
through all the different, uh,
all the different versions.
So they have like double sided coin,
cool names.
And then they list,
these are the divisions
listed on this one.
So ring dips and you never
see ring dips in the elite division.
No.
Too many back tears.
Uh, then they have the combine.
Max bench, ten burpees,
one rope climb for time,
and then sandbag over bar.
We have under the spotlights,
one rep max clean.
the chipper,
thirty heavy rope single-unders,
fifteen handstand push-ups,
twenty-calorie echo bike,
fifty-foot handstand walk,
fifty-foot sled pull,
five-bar muscle-ups.
Ooh, I love that.
That'd be rough in the elite division.
That sounds like a great workout.
So, yeah, it's all here on their website,
and I believe...
They're streaming on their
YouTube page as well as CrossFit.com.
Games.CrossFit.com.
Huh.
That's interesting.
So, I think.
Cause games didn't do the, uh,
the masters and the teens
on their website, right?
Well, definitely not on their YouTube,
but I think you could go to
it through the cross of games, um,
website, just to the link,
which would bring you then to the legends,
um, page, right?
Yeah.
Something like that.
The, my biggest thing is they have,
there's no leaderboard through the games.
You could go to
games age group and c or
teens you cannot go into
like I can no longer see my
play scene but from open to
quarters to semis games
like games is not on the
yeah that should be on
there with your placing of
this year's games
absolutely why is the
leaderboard not a part of
it that makes no sense
That should be emailed to
support to see if they can
update that because that
should be on people's profiles.
And you should be able to
look up someone on the game
site and see that the
athlete finished X position.
Well,
it just further makes it look like we
didn't go to the games.
Yeah,
like it's not even part of the season.
Right.
Yeah, I want to, that really stinks.
And is it just not updated or is it just?
Not even there.
So I want to read some of
these Lynn things because
Lynn and Lana are both very
much a part of this.
They had demo athletes for
all the divisions.
Ogar has been amazing as a
leader of adaptive.
And equipment products
showed the trailer sending
over all the equipment.
enough of my rambling but I
wish there was a way we
could support the adaptive
games other than watching
I'd buy everything if it
helped and lana uh is
bragging about one of her
own athletes going uh they
have an athlete first ever
intellectual division yeah
I know that's something
she's been fighting for for
a long time that the
intellectual division did
not got eliminated
It was a small version of it to begin with,
and it got eliminated from
the CrossFit Games when it
was part of the overall thing.
Now that it's separate,
they've been able to bring
those people back in, which is awesome.
It allows so many more
people the opportunity to compete,
which is cool.
But do what you can.
Watch.
watch their stuff on Instagram, like it,
share it, do those things.
Those are the ways that you
can support people without
even paying any money.
Just share their stuff.
Get eyes on what it is they
do because they put so much work into it.
And they would truly,
truly appreciate that.
Kind of on another note,
there was kind of a secret announcement.
I just happened upon it that
the classic Wadapalooza has
announced a new location.
Last time I talked to Dylan,
they were thinking about it
because they could not
expand Bayfront much more,
but they were afraid to
move because it has become
a staple in Bayfront.
However, here it is.
So they're going to South Beach.
That is Miami Beach.
It is going to be on or near the sand.
How far away is it from Bayfront?
So we have our resident Miamian.
I am so upset about that.
The area where they're going
is super touristy.
Okay.
Which means hotels are
probably going to be even more.
I've never pronounced it.
Yeah.
So, Bruce, how far from Bayfront is that?
Since you are a resident Floridian,
lived right near that.
Bruce was a staple at
Wadapalooza Bayfront.
About twenty minutes.
Yeah.
So, yeah, crazy.
That just kind of snuck up.
I was thumbing through Instagram and bam,
there it was.
And I I was shocked that
they had made the decision
to to move there.
But they they were not going
to be able to expand to Bayfront anymore.
How high they were building
some of those stands was becoming,
I am not a construction expert,
and I do not pretend to be one,
but it seemed dangerous.
But they were packed.
You could not get into the
elite events anymore at Guadalupe.
So hopefully this helps with all of that.
Um, then we have tier cup, water, Palooza,
SoCal.
We're going to fit finish with this topic.
And it is,
if you have not seen our reps
ahead is decided to do an
event at tier water, Palooza, SoCal, uh,
where they're holding,
they're saying it's a knockout version,
but they've only announced
a couple of athletes.
So it only looks like one or
two or three head to heads, uh,
What we know for sure is
Sprague and Hopper are
going head-to-head.
We know that Annika Greer
and Kyra Milligan are going head-to-head.
Good pairing.
And we know one other pairing,
which is two more local athletes.
No, Devin Kim and Lauren Stallwood,
both Invictus team athletes.
So, yeah, I'm excited to see it.
it's a nice place to kind of
get um to get some exposure
for them as a competition
and hopefully hopefully uh
it helps grow what they're
trying to do uh because I
applaud them for what
they're doing and pumping
some prize money to
athletes and supporting the
athletes the way they do
Um, but I,
I think it would be a cool
knockout style event if you
had like event one and then
you move the net and all
the winners move to,
to group B another workout
move to see for like the championship.
I think that would be pretty fun.
Uh,
Sorry,
I just watched the game-winning
field goal for Kansas City.
I just happened to look,
and there was like three
seconds left in the game,
and Kansas City.
Kansas City beat Cincinnati.
Yeah.
Last second field goal.
Twenty-six to twenty-five.
Last second.
The Swifties are going crazy.
Yep.
Kenneth says fake Fit Wars.
I love One Zombie to Death,
and I loved Fit Wars.
It happened one time.
Reps Ahead has already had
three major events.
Right.
plus a bunch of,
before they even did the major events,
they did a bunch more.
They've really moved ahead with it.
Fit Wars is going to go down
as this iconic legend that
happened that one time.
Remember?
It was a good battle.
I did like watching it.
Scott versus Colton.
It's fun.
Someone's got to take over it.
It was a great concept.
The reps ahead has been
entertaining to watch.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well,
the other thing we get to watch this
weekend is this new format
of North America versus the world.
If you do not know the rosters,
I will read them off to you.
Team world is BKG.
Captain.
Guy Mejeros, Enola Kai, Brent Fikowski,
Tia Claire Toomey, or Captain, Emma Tall,
Sahir Kaya, and Gracie Walton.
Team North America is Pat Fowler, Captain,
Jeff Adler, Justin Medeiros,
Dallin Pepper, Danielle Brandon, Captain,
Alexis Raptus, Ariel Lowe,
and Emily Rolfe.
So what we're going to do,
they've announced a handful of the events,
five of them.
Five of like the seven or eight.
Okay.
We're going to go down
through the workouts.
We're going to see who the
team should start in those divisions.
Some of them are at all
hands where everybody has to participate.
Okay.
We'll go down through them.
And I made little workout cards.
So hopefully I can pull this off.
the first event that is
announced and the schedule
is Friday night.
This is all Pacific time.
So most people on the East coast,
like it doesn't even start
till well after my bedtime.
So Friday night,
it starts at seven Oh five Pacific time.
I believe that is ten Oh
five East coast time.
I think Lex is just getting
up before her workout.
Okay.
Essentially bedtime at that point though.
All right.
So here we go.
So the first event is a
CrossFit games team.
So this is two men, two women.
Okay.
It is four rounds for time.
Eighteen synchro chest-to-bar.
Handstand walk O course.
You go, I go.
Twelve synchro kettlebell deadlifts.
One twenty... One twenty-four.
Eighty-eight.
Twenty-four,
eighteen echo calorie bike at
the same time.
Twelve synchro kettlebell deadlifts.
And then handstand walk O course.
You go, I go.
Time cap, twenty-two minutes.
Wow.
Oh, those are some heavy kettlebells.
Gross.
Any thoughts on who should be starting?
Well,
they should put Danielle Brandon on
that one.
For world?
Is there a limit of how many
events someone can like
because I feel like tia is
going to want to
participate in every every
event I don't think you
would use her for all of
them just to save her for
some I don't know if that's
gonna matter she's their
only hope like tia and I'm
a tall on this one would be
my choice yeah I don't know
like I have no idea how
grace walton's hands dan
walk capabilities
Kaya does really well with running,
gymnastics as well.
Very good runner, actually.
You need some power output on the bike.
You need some strength on the deadlift.
I don't think the handstand will walk off,
so of course we'll stumble many of them.
Most of them have pretty
good handstand walk.
think tia and emma on world
and ariel and danielle I
was thinking ariel and
danielle for this one ariel
for sure yeah you have rolf
and raptus yep yeah
probably dingo I don't
think that kettlebell
deadlift will get her back she has
Nah, she'll be all right there.
Good strength still.
Yeah.
I think that's good picks.
For the men on the world.
I think you give Enola Kai
initiation with this one.
Yeah.
For Brent?
Yeah.
Yeah.
How's Guy's handstand walk?
Good?
I mean, he's mayhem.
They do those obstacle
course all the time.
I feel like that's weekly for them.
I think that that's fine for Guy.
I think this is a Dallin Pepper.
Then Justin Medeiros.
I would probably put him with on this one.
I mean, Pat would do good at it too.
Yeah, I don't know.
Well, you got to remember,
they've got a bike with the girl.
I guess I don't know how
they're pairing that.
It says at the same time.
I wouldn't just throw Dallin
at this just to watch him kill the bike.
That seems unnecessary.
I would almost do Justin and
Pat on this workout.
Yeah,
I just think Dallin would handle the
deadlifts.
Pat's going to be great at it.
Pat and Justin honestly has
a great deadlift.
Yeah, I would.
And just on this one.
That I think this isn't
going to be as easy as people think.
No,
it's not going to be as easy as people
think.
I pick.
Let's go to the next one.
I have to do something first.
Cause I made these little slides.
It makes it a little more difficult.
I got to write,
I got to write our picks
down to see if we're when these get done,
if we chose good.
Okay.
Event two is Miami team.
So there's not a lot of detail with this.
Um, I got this all from barbell spin.
You can go to their website
and see all these listed.
Um,
Miami team is three-person same-sex,
correct?
Yes.
So does that mean that
they're just going to mix
it up or that they're going
to go three men against
three men and three women
versus three women?
Yeah, that's a good question.
But it is twenty four
alternating wall walks and
then three rounds of
eighteen worm push press,
twelve worm squats,
six worm thrusters and then
eighteen alternating wall walks.
And then it's just a
descending rounds and same
reps on the worm.
I mean, the wall walks,
like the girls on the girls
on North America are so good at like,
you have wrapped this aerial.
So good.
Dingo, like Emily wrote, like,
they're all very similar.
Yep.
I would look at the, the worm though,
as like trying to get also
like similar height.
Like I agree.
Um,
I would almost maybe leave aerial out
of this one for height purposes.
I like wrap this for this one a lot.
Wrap this and Rolf.
Well, if it's three,
I would probably leave Ariel off.
Miami team.
And then you have your Rolf.
Danielle Raptors.
Yeah.
Okay.
And then men, who do you leave off?
Probably
Jeff?
Is he the shortest out of that group?
So you'd have Pat, Justin.
Brent, no.
Pat, Justin, Dallin.
Pat's played around with the worm.
He was team before.
I don't know how much Jeff
has played around with the worm.
Jeff's not.
I think I would leave Dallin
off from this one because
he's a little bit taller, I think.
That's fair.
I'm okay with that choice.
I'd take Dallin off.
And then on the team world, men?
You might want to leave Brent off,
although isn't Noel kind of tall too?
leave bkg off okay there you
go yep I'm good with that
and then for women just
give tia rest on this one
just because so she doesn't
have to do everyone sure good with that
Like, would you go strategy-wise?
Like,
if you know you're going to lose the
workout against North America,
just rest your top person
just so they can go get points elsewhere?
Like,
it's because that can be a strategy
for sure,
is if you know you're losing
that workout.
Not that anyone is,
there's no bad people in
any of the rosters,
but there's better fits.
So event three just said
weightlifting spotlight.
I mean, this is pretty easy to pick.
But I think Emma tall beats
all of the girls.
So would you waste Tia here?
Tia's on the same team as Emma.
That's what I'm saying.
Like how many, is it just one in one?
Beat everybody.
You don't have to use Tia
beating everybody.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, that's what I was trying to explain.
I think you're right, Carolyn.
Is it one person going and doing both,
or one person snatches and
one person clean and jerks?
You have two people from the team.
I believe this is the one person spotlight,
probably one male, one female.
Doing both lifts.
Yep.
Yeah, you could use, I'd say, yeah,
use Emma.
And Guy.
And Guy, okay, for Worlds.
And then Jeff,
you'd almost have to go Ariel.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I agree.
Yep.
She got left off on the last one.
So user here.
I like that.
Okay.
Okay.
Now we're into, there's a,
there's a skip of four.
And we move on to five,
which is the gymnastic spotlight.
Okay.
For total reps,
two minutes of max rope climbs,
two minutes of max
freestanding handstand pushups,
two minutes max ring muscle ups,
two minutes max
freestanding handstand pushups,
two minutes max rope climbs,
one minute of rest between movements.
I'm assuming spotlight means
one athlete again.
I'm assuming that as well.
Jeez.
I mean... Danielle Brandon?
She's a great rope climber.
She's great handstand pusher.
That entire group is so good
at these movements.
The females.
Yep.
I think you picked... I
think you might go with
Alexis on this.
I would pick Alexis.
Her handstand pushups are incredible.
I think I would pick Alexis.
Freestanding, yeah.
Yeah.
Boys from America.
Maybe Justin again.
Or Pat.
I don't know.
They both like
I'd probably go Pat.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm good with that.
Okay.
Yeah.
I like Pat world.
I mean, do you pick Tia?
So it's Tia, Emma, Sahar,
and who was the fourth woman?
Uh, Walton.
Oh yeah.
Oh, how's.
I know.
Uh,
I feel like Kaya is good at gymnastics.
But, I mean, Tia's going to – I mean,
I feel like they would – Yeah,
we haven't used Tia in a while.
But I feel like she's not
going to want to do, like,
every single thing.
She's going to want to let her team,
I feel like,
get their opportunities as well.
We gave her the lift off.
We did.
That's true.
Okay, Tia.
Okay, we'll put Tia.
And is Akai – I think he's a
really good rope climber.
I don't know about all the rest of it.
Probably BKG.
Brent's great at group climbs.
Yeah.
Too long maybe for the
handstand push-ups and ring muscle-ups,
although he did great on
the freestanding at the games.
I think he got like a second place.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I think I'd pick BKG.
Yeah, I think BKG.
Okay, writing it down.
Okay.
Okay.
And then that was event five.
Event six is CrossFit Games
team number two.
Female-female pair performs.
Seventy-two D-ball over the yoke.
Seventy-two weighted GHD sit-ups.
Seventy-two ping-pong wall balls.
Seventy-two cow ski right
into male-male pair.
Seventy-two cow ski.
Seventy-two ping-pong wall balls.
Seventy-two weighted GHD.
Seventy-two D-ball over the yoke.
For the female-female here,
I would have Ariel and Dingo.
Okay.
Okay.
And female world.
Female world.
Tia and Walton.
Okay, I'm fine with that.
Okay.
Male, male pair, America.
Dallin.
And... Justin.
Justin.
I am thinking Justin over
probably Jeff even.
I think we've used Justin a lot.
I know.
Probably we haven't used
Jeff a lot other than the lift.
Jeff.
Maybe Jeff.
Well, we used Jeff on the lift.
We're using Pat in five.
So yeah, I mean,
so Dallin and you want to use Jeff again?
Yeah, I think so.
The lift was the day before.
Yep.
Okay.
Wait, was that Dallin and Justin?
Dallin and Jeff.
Jeff, got it.
Okay, got it.
Okay, world.
And then this is the last one we know.
Okay.
Wait, did we do world men?
Oh, we didn't.
Shoot.
Go ahead.
Probably, I don't know,
Brent and Guy together.
Brent for sure with the ski.
Probably tall for the GHD.
The wall balls could get rough for Brent,
but... He's great at wall balls.
Why would they be rough for Brent?
He's tall.
I just wonder what the ping pong means.
I think just going over... Yeah,
I think...
side by side or do you have
to go over something I
think it's got to clear
something like a pull-up
bar or something I don't
know I could be wrong I'm
cool with brent and gee I
wonder if it's just like
off the target and it just
yeah like side by side like
side by side like you just
share the rep that way and
it's like I've done local
comps yeah I could see it
that way yeah where you're alternating
All right, last one we know,
and there's no choice here,
but we'll throw it up just
so everybody knows what the
seventh workout is.
And that is all hands, four-time,
head-to-head.
So the only strategy is here
is you have to pick what
female is going against what female,
what male is going against what male.
It is...
Bar muscle ups and clean ladder.
So I believe it's twenty one
bar muscle ups than a clean ladder.
Yeah.
Explain to me how this is all hands.
If there's three females and three males,
they go against each other.
Yeah.
Isn't there four on a team?
Yeah, there is.
I don't know.
Does the captain have to sit
out of this one and the
captain chooses the order of their team?
Maybe, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe.
Well, it sort of sucks for Tia.
I mean, actually,
I think they'll do all right at this one.
You put Emma as the heaviest
female and Grace is the
second heaviest and Sahara first.
You have more,
you have more bar muscle ups first,
but low lower weight.
Wouldn't that benefits to her?
Yeah.
I like that.
So here, grace, Emma.
Okay.
We don't know if this is how
it's gonna work, but yeah.
The women are all on the
North American side are all
great at gymnastics.
So it doesn't matter how
many bar muscle-ups they have to do.
It's just what weight they handle.
And it's power clean.
So some of them will power clean.
Well, you got to put Emily first, right?
Yeah.
And then wrap this scenario.
Yeah.
Yep.
And then for men on the world side,
I'd say put Guy last.
Guy last.
Guy last, yeah.
Brent next to last?
Well, if we're not using the captains,
Brent can't do this one.
Brent's not a captain.
Oh, no, you're right.
He is.
Yep, okay.
So, yep, Brent there.
And then Enola Kai first.
Yep, like it.
I mean, even for an elite male,
whether you're top end or not,
twenty-one bar muscle-ups is nothing.
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
And then for the American men.
So Pat can't go.
So we put, I mean, Jeff, Jeff is last.
Yeah.
This power clean is so great.
So is, so is just, I mean, dude, they're,
they're all going to be great at this.
Yeah.
But I think Jeff's power
clean would be better than Justin's.
Justin would be second to last.
Maybe.
When I put Pat on the most bar muscle ups,
I think he's the fastest.
What if it's squat clean?
Did you see the speed of
Justin Madero's twenty one reps?
I look or how many he did in
a minute on his Instagram.
His bar muscles were fast.
That's why we bring you on the show,
Carolyn.
Just posted an Instagram
reel of it like two days
ago or something.
And it was like how many he
got in a minute or something.
And yeah, he is flying fast.
Who was it?
You and Jamie are here to tell me.
Justin Medeiros.
Oh, yeah.
That doesn't surprise me.
So you want to go Justin, Dale, and Jeff?
Because they can all handle the weight.
Yeah, all of them are strong.
Love it.
I like the speed of Justin's
muscle-ups I saw.
Yep, gets you off to a good start.
That one's going to be
pretty fun to watch.
That is a fun one.
Again,
these are all happening in the
middle of the night, East Coast time.
There was another one that had a run,
I remember.
Yeah.
Is there an eighth workout?
We don't actually know.
The rest said to be determined.
Okay.
There's an echo bike burpee one and run.
Okay.
On the list I put in the notes?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, man, I messed up.
It's event nine and ten, or nine.
monostructural spotlight oh
yeah I didn't oh that one I
have roll for the females
yeah I like that because
she's great on the echo
bike but fifty bar facing
burpees and then she's
great runner yes or forty
fifty bar facing burpees
and test three is fifty
meter assault run so Grace
Walton for sure
She smashed that burpee bike at the games.
Wait.
Test one, two, and three?
How does that work?
I don't know.
I like someone like Rolf or Danielle.
I like Tia.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I would, I would do.
When in doubt T is the answer.
Yeah.
I think that's going to be
the interesting thing.
I think the workouts look fun.
And the last one is a nine, fifteen,
twenty one wall facing
strict handstand push up
burpee box jump over.
Shouldered overhead burpee.
and then barbell back rack
lunge in meters.
You have Indy for that one.
Is that for the individuals
or is that for this comp?
That's just what was in.
I copied and pasted right from the spin.
So,
and then a two minute rest and it goes
into twenty one fifty nine
toes to bar box jump over
alternating jump.
s a dumbbell snatch single
arm then single or dumbbell
overhead lunge for meters
that sounds like a jamie
ladder workout that sounds
awesome uh and then event
eleven is the captains so
the captains have to do the
workout against each other cool yep
So, yeah,
I think what's going to be fun is
to see who is going up against who,
how they split up the work
for the whole weekend and
how that works out.
Yeah, when you look at it on paper,
North America is much
stronger than the world.
I did hear that part of that
is because of the sponsor of the event,
right?
that they were trying to get
a tier athletes in this
because it is the tier cup
and it's their event.
They can do what they want to do.
They're the ones forking
over the prize money so
they can do what they want to.
But,
but the world does have some home run
hitters and they have Tia.
Absolutely.
Like they're going to win
the lift already.
Right.
Yeah.
And, and power output, they've got,
they've got some power output that, yeah,
especially the American
females do not have.
Yeah.
Um, so it's going to be,
I would love to see this
format at the games where
teams have three males,
three female or three males,
three females instead of eight.
I think that'd be a little bit too much,
but then the events are out and
you pick your best two for
that event or whatever,
and you can have some specialists kind of,
but you need a minimum of a
certain amount of events or something.
I don't know.
I've always thought that
that would be a cool way to
do the games because if someone got hurt,
then you would have that
other person to step in and it,
and a whole,
whole year is not wasted
because of one injury.
Yeah, I agree.
But then your team is down
to where the two people
left have to do with the ball.
So you are at a disadvantage,
but at least you get to play.
I've actually thought about
having Raph Sanson on.
I don't know if you – is it Sanson?
No, Duran.
Duran.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh, because he's been really pumping the,
uh, team competition up a lot.
Yes.
Just have a discussion.
Cause he,
he put out questions like what
would make the team competition better?
What would improve the team competition?
And I'd love to have like,
just maybe have him on with
us to have a round table
discussion about team
during the off season when
we have one of those slow weeks.
Um,
and just talk about ideas that would
make it fresher.
I think that'd be cool.
And he was a correspondent
for us a couple of years ago at the game.
So he's a friend of the show and,
and he's two years in a row
on a team at the games.
So any other thoughts about
this weekend guys?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't think I'm going to
have even time to watch it.
Not that it's at a great time of day, but
Try to stay as up-to-date on it as I can.
I did want to say I did see
Clark's comment earlier
about Justin Fields and
Luke Getzey both winning today.
That was not lost on me.
I was not ignoring you, and yes, I get it.
The offensive coordinator
and my quarterback from
last year that we sent to
the junk pile did win today,
and now we're riding it
with some new people,
but I'll take the new
people tonight for sure.
Uh, I'm excited about the week.
We get some live CrossFit to watch.
Uh, I can't wait to check out.
We award adaptive CrossFit games, uh,
down in San Antonio.
I'll be watching some of that.
Uh,
I would definitely be watching some
reps ahead.
Um,
I love those cause they're quick hitters,
uh,
yeah it's it starts and it's
done in like ten minutes
and you you have a winner
and it's fun to watch and
then definitely watching uh
water palooza socal odyssey
what goes down I'll try to
take a nap in the afternoon
so I can stay up to watch
crazy a little bit of this um
And then we'll be back next Sunday night,
eight o'clock at our normal
time when the Bears aren't
playing next Sunday night.
And we'll recap everything
we saw from the weekend
from all three of those
events that are going on next weekend.
And I'm going to reach out to Amanda Hari.
She's competing at SoCal in
the community division.
uh so maybe we'll have her
on for like ten minutes
just to talk about what the
vibe was like what it was
like being a community a
participant during that um
and we can get the kind of
what it was like there uh
to find out it was if it's
like miami with all the
lights and the dancing and
the hoopla um or if it had
a different vibe than than
the miami version
