00:00:16.916 --> 00:00:17.896
Good morning, misfits.

00:00:17.896 --> 00:00:20.440
You are tuning into another episode of the Misfit Podcast.

00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:25.012
Every Tuesday during the open, we will join you for a recap podcast.

00:00:25.012 --> 00:00:29.170
So today is the 25.1 recap podcast.

00:00:29.170 --> 00:00:37.454
Shout out to all of the Misfits, misfit affiliate athletes, misfit competitors, all the people that threw down on this workout.

00:00:37.454 --> 00:00:39.447
She was a bit of a doozy.

00:00:39.447 --> 00:00:41.543
I think everyone would agree.

00:00:41.543 --> 00:00:45.673
They had their own version of getting into a fight with 25.1.

00:00:46.820 --> 00:00:48.988
Before we get started, we'll do a little bit of housekeeping.

00:00:48.988 --> 00:00:51.448
Then we're going to do the leaderboards, give away some stuff.

00:00:51.448 --> 00:00:53.386
Should be a fun episode.

00:00:53.386 --> 00:01:15.945
So, housekeeping, semifinals prep for anybody doing the in-affiliate semifinals and there's some things to talk about related to that, because I don't know if they ended up hitting their minimum Um, but I believe um, it's 1200 athletes is the minimum and I'm not sure that that's the top 1%.

00:01:15.945 --> 00:01:22.371
So you might have a little bit of a better shot than you thought Um, I should have had that information in front of me before I started talking about it.

00:01:22.371 --> 00:01:32.049
But what's more important here is that if you are peaking, if your Super Bowl is in affiliate semifinals, your semifinals prep starts six days from today.

00:01:33.474 --> 00:01:36.281
If you are a new misfit or you aren't following the programming.

00:01:36.281 --> 00:01:41.513
Right now you can buy that as a standalone program in our storefront on Fitter.

00:01:41.513 --> 00:01:46.361
So you can purchase that as a standalone program, choose your start date and then it just.

00:01:46.361 --> 00:01:48.365
You know, you're kind of off to the races there.

00:01:48.365 --> 00:01:54.930
I will say if you are a new misfit, make sure you are in the discord, discordgg forward slash misfit athletics.

00:01:54.930 --> 00:02:00.391
Yes, that link actually does work again For anybody that's been, that's been trying to get into the discord.

00:02:00.391 --> 00:02:02.227
Fix that yesterday.

00:02:02.227 --> 00:02:05.239
So make sure that you're there so that you can ask questions.

00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:15.842
And then if you're already subscribing and you want to follow that programming, shoot me an email, coach at misfit athleticscom and I will send you a hundred percent off discount code and you can add that to your program.

00:02:16.802 --> 00:02:22.949
Um, off season block one starts on march 24th.

00:02:22.949 --> 00:02:28.722
Monday march 24th we'll have kind of that final sort of week of the open, but not really.

00:02:28.722 --> 00:02:33.859
Monday march 17th is um, kind of that last day that you can do things.

00:02:33.859 --> 00:02:36.308
We're not going to start you on a new program that week.

00:02:36.308 --> 00:02:41.885
Um, and that's when we get into the off-season stuff where you can do the strength bias, conditioning bias.

00:02:41.885 --> 00:02:48.723
Then, um, our very first we will explain in the podcast our very first named um.

00:02:48.723 --> 00:03:03.942
Misfit affiliate uh, phase Ulysses starts on March 24th as well, um, and you get a two week free trial in stream fit sugar, wad, push press just by going to team misfitcom, clicking sign up.

00:03:03.942 --> 00:03:06.306
Now you'll see the to click all that stuff.

00:03:07.127 --> 00:03:08.710
Um, all right, let's do leaderboards.

00:03:08.710 --> 00:03:18.522
So the way that this works, um, you need to go to gamescrossfitcom, go to your competition dashboard, and then there's a spot that says custom leaderboards.

00:03:18.522 --> 00:03:23.996
If you type in misfit athlete um, that's going to add you to our competition leaderboard.

00:03:23.996 --> 00:03:25.415
And then if you type in misfit affiliate um I, that's going to add you to our competition leaderboard.

00:03:25.415 --> 00:03:30.663
And then if you type in misfit affiliate um, I just think it'd be cool to have a leaderboard of all the people that follow the program.

00:03:30.663 --> 00:03:36.925
Um, there's actually in the misfit athlete, there's a ton of misfit affiliate athletes, which is really cool Kind of sprinkled in there.

00:03:36.925 --> 00:03:53.614
Some of the scores from you know, I won't name names, but the some of the scores from people who come in here and take class for 60 minutes a day are higher than um some people who, you know, do this as kind of a professional thing or have a lot of eggs in that basket, which I think is just really fucking awesome.

00:03:53.614 --> 00:03:56.222
Um, so make sure you go in and add those.

00:03:57.122 --> 00:04:03.330
Um, and basically, what we do is we read the top 10, um, give some shout outs, give away some free shit.

00:04:03.330 --> 00:04:06.112
Um, all right, let's, let's do it.

00:04:06.112 --> 00:04:10.906
Hunter, I'm going to need you to pull up a random number generator from 1 to 10.

00:04:10.906 --> 00:04:12.210
Can you handle that for me?

00:04:12.210 --> 00:04:13.984
I should have made Seb do it.

00:04:13.984 --> 00:04:17.132
Honestly, you're the talent here.

00:04:17.132 --> 00:04:31.572
Seb's supposed to be doing the producing, but alright, so ladies, first Elena Pomerisi 303 reps breaking the 300 rep mark.

00:04:31.572 --> 00:04:33.355
Gotta love that at a CrossFit raid.

00:04:33.355 --> 00:04:34.564
And then we go.

00:04:34.564 --> 00:04:46.084
Lindsay Hoffman, paige Semenza, meredith Reyes, roxy George, blair, Chaney, kelly Clark, peyton Forsyth, emma Hagstrom, adrian Winges I think I got it right this year.

00:04:46.545 --> 00:04:47.966
I think I got that name right this year.

00:04:47.966 --> 00:04:53.230
Ooh, got a little action going on on my camera and then I had to give a shout out one rep away.

00:04:53.230 --> 00:04:54.250
Misfit Gym Portland.

00:04:54.250 --> 00:04:57.432
Rachel Rogers Again, that's just fucking cool.

00:04:57.432 --> 00:05:03.577
Got a competition dashboard of a bunch of people who throw down and she came in at 262 reps.

00:05:03.577 --> 00:05:06.064
People who throw down and she came in at 262 reps.

00:05:06.064 --> 00:05:08.107
Hunter, please give me Hunter or Seb.

00:05:08.107 --> 00:05:12.031
Someone give me a number between 1 and 10.

00:05:12.031 --> 00:05:14.216
Seven, do it again.

00:05:14.216 --> 00:05:22.076

Lindsey, please email me, coach, at misfit athletics dot com.

00:05:26.562 --> 00:05:38.572
Um, we have your information from other orders and whatnot, but if you have any updated sizes or address, please put those in the email and we will get some gear out to you.

00:05:38.572 --> 00:05:53.449
Over to the men's side, I searched far and wide for a way to kick hunter wood off of this leaderboard and I couldn't all right, um coming in first place.

00:05:53.550 --> 00:05:57.175
Brandon, true, breaking the 300 rep mark.

00:05:57.175 --> 00:06:08.000
Brandon's a remote client, brandon um would like you to give him a very heavy barbell um for him to shine.

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:11.230
And we've done a lot of fucking work this off season.

00:06:11.230 --> 00:06:22.153
Um, we had a pretty good score on the books and then we went into movement efficiency, um, and jump that up 20 reps or so, something along those lines.

00:06:22.153 --> 00:06:23.447
Um, so big shout out there and on we go.

00:06:23.447 --> 00:06:24.656
20 reps or so, something along those lines.

00:06:24.656 --> 00:06:27.262
So big shout out there and on we go.

00:06:27.262 --> 00:06:36.069
Steven Milanese, taylor Sanders, austin Spencer, from the top rope with 282 reps, austin does not follow competitive programming.

00:06:36.069 --> 00:06:39.245
Austin is in the fire academy, austin loves burpees.

00:06:39.245 --> 00:07:02.315
Paolo Frita, chris Colvin, salvador Reyes, kyle Pinkham of Misfit Athletics fame, kyle Moline and then, last but not least, the sickly flu boy, hunter Wood, coming in at 273 reps in 10th place.

00:07:02.315 --> 00:07:04.298
Congratulations, hunter.

00:07:05.463 --> 00:07:08.267
I did just generate randomly number 10.

00:07:08.267 --> 00:07:10.567
Of course you did.

00:07:10.567 --> 00:07:12.024
I'll send you an email.

00:07:12.862 --> 00:07:17.269
Yeah, you send me an email, give me the shirts back I put in your office yesterday.

00:07:17.269 --> 00:07:20.620
I'm going to need another one.

00:07:20.620 --> 00:07:24.011
That's another Paolo Frito.

00:07:24.011 --> 00:07:26.112
Oh, this is good, this is really good.

00:07:26.213 --> 00:07:42.346
So this is someone who, um, has requested a way for us to send gear to, I believe, croatia, um, and they're not that nice about customs, so we're gonna put as much shit in there as we can and say that it's worth nothing and, at the very least, you only have to pay whatever they make you pay once it gets there.

00:07:42.346 --> 00:07:49.154
We're going to put as much shit in there as we can and say that it's worth nothing and, at the very least, you only have to pay whatever they make you pay.

00:07:49.154 --> 00:07:50.637
Once it gets there, we'll be free.

00:07:50.637 --> 00:07:53.129
Otherwise, I'll pay for the shipping, the clothing, whatever.

00:07:53.129 --> 00:07:55.447
I'm glad that that happens.

00:07:55.447 --> 00:08:04.072
So, coach at misfitathleticscom, your address, any tips on subverting the government and your sizes, please?

00:08:04.072 --> 00:08:05.214
Thank you so much.

00:08:05.214 --> 00:08:19.774
I also, like I said, I think it would be really cool to do a Misfit Affiliate leaderboard, but for this week we're going to do the artist formerly known as CrossFitMF, the official name of Misfit Gym Portland.

00:08:21.379 --> 00:08:22.521
Let's go top 10 for Misfit Gym Portland here.

00:08:22.521 --> 00:08:23.141
Um, let's go top 10 for.

00:08:23.141 --> 00:08:36.225
Let's go top 10 for Misfit Jim Portland here Kyle Pinkham, hunter Wood, rachel Rogers, michael Leone, lizzie Bell, bruno Luke Ravenel, nicole Dubois, nick Whitaker, ryan Bernaysh and Jen Bossy.

00:08:36.225 --> 00:08:41.008
That is the top 10, um at Misfit Jim Portland.

00:08:41.008 --> 00:08:49.471
Shout out there and I feel like I should do another giveaway here for the for the gang, for the number eight Nick Whitaker.

00:08:49.471 --> 00:08:50.971
Nick is a.

00:08:51.011 --> 00:08:56.595
Nick is an Nick is an avid sharpen the ax, cocom, uh kind of guy.

00:08:56.595 --> 00:08:59.596
So giving him some free shit is is good, nick.

00:08:59.596 --> 00:09:03.998
Um, one person on this podcast is going to remember to give you some free shit.

00:09:04.878 --> 00:09:05.158
I will.

00:09:05.697 --> 00:09:09.913
Okay, Thanks, Seb Whitaker.

00:09:09.913 --> 00:09:16.227
All right, Recap time Hunter 25.1.

00:09:16.227 --> 00:09:17.629
Give us what you got.

00:09:17.629 --> 00:09:18.471
What'd you think of it?

00:09:18.471 --> 00:09:22.395
Programmer, affiliate coach athlete.

00:09:23.640 --> 00:09:24.764
What do you think?

00:09:24.764 --> 00:09:28.744
I think it was the right move to make it as widely as accessible as it was.

00:09:28.744 --> 00:09:47.285
The um even had one of our members, rachel, who was on that leaderboard, say she does a, she does like a co-op with some parents, um, co-op or whatever you the homeschool kind of group squad that she's got um, and one of the things that she does is coaches a CrossFit class with the kids.

00:09:47.285 --> 00:09:58.883
Um, and she did a version of this workout for the kids class, which is uh, which I think is really cool and that, and I thought to myself like, oh damn, that's a, whether that's intentional or not.

00:09:58.883 --> 00:10:08.855
But, um, I know Kyle actually has plans to run a some, some form of 25.1 for the after-school kids program that we have at the gym.

00:10:09.379 --> 00:10:11.126
I dare him to do it for 15 full minutes.

00:10:13.363 --> 00:10:18.440
Those kids need it to keep them from climbing the ceiling.

00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:24.589
But yeah, I mean it's a good idea, good opening workout.

00:10:24.589 --> 00:10:28.376
Um, I don't think, I don't feel like there's a whole lot to say about.

00:10:28.376 --> 00:10:32.432
It's about as straightforward as you get, yeah I mean they do.

00:10:32.634 --> 00:10:36.289
so we alluded to it last week in the the preview podcast.

00:10:36.289 --> 00:10:38.236
It was going to be 15 minutes long.

00:10:38.236 --> 00:10:48.922
It's in that neighborhood, in that medium, like and, and something that might not be amazing to train, like if you trained it every day.

00:10:48.922 --> 00:11:07.413
Um, I would much rather go long and slow, or short and fast, um, but from a testing perspective, knowing yourself, um, you know, I I got videos of of high level athletes cooking in those first five minutes, um, and I just liked that.

00:11:07.413 --> 00:11:22.410
I just liked that you got to use your use your athlete IQ and a workout like this, even though on paper it is very simple Also said, um, that it is a high likelihood of it being a couplet and that it could be a triplet.

00:11:22.410 --> 00:11:25.153
And both of those things were basically true.

00:11:25.955 --> 00:11:29.677
Uh, this was, um, I think the.

00:11:29.677 --> 00:11:39.369
In hindsight, I think I like the hang clean and jerk better than the dumbbell snatch to get a little bit more of that muscle endurance involved in a workout like this.

00:11:39.369 --> 00:11:49.193
Um, I thought that was, uh, just a wrinkle, something a little bit different because, like, people were putting up the post, tell me what the difference is.

00:11:49.193 --> 00:12:04.172
And then it says it's the same picture 24.1 and 25.1, basically the same workout, um, but I did think the press and getting the dumbbell overhead and then some of the athletes that I worked with that were really doing the negative kind of the worm down, um, on the burpee.

00:12:04.172 --> 00:12:09.884
That became an issue for sure, um, so I don't know if it was a couple of trips.

00:12:10.264 --> 00:12:13.047
I kind of felt like I felt like it was a little.

00:12:14.607 --> 00:12:19.051
For most people it was, or I mean at the affiliate level.

00:12:19.051 --> 00:12:46.096
It basically is just an upper body sort of throttling that occurred and whether they I'm sure there's a reason they didn't want to dumbbell snatch and pull from the floor, whether that's because there's pulling from the floor coming up there's.

00:12:46.096 --> 00:12:49.240
We didn't want to duplicate 24.1.

00:12:49.259 --> 00:12:51.706
Yeah, well, they or they didn't.

00:12:51.767 --> 00:12:55.000
They didn't want to replicate that so closely to 24.1.

00:12:55.000 --> 00:13:05.692
I do think the dumbbell snatch would have probably been a much, a little bit more of a would have would have ratcheted up the metabolic demand versus the muscular component of that.

00:13:05.692 --> 00:13:06.894
That hang clean and jerk.

00:13:07.736 --> 00:13:23.933
Um, I think that, like even even holding the dumbbell for the lunges uh, had the potential to, to change the workouts feel quite a bit and make it a little bit more metabolic for like everybody across the board.

00:13:23.933 --> 00:13:49.539
But I mean, at the end of the day, it's just kind of weird when you have a workout where it's like the fittest people are doing like upwards of 200, clean and jerks and burpees, um, and it's obviously very difficult to write a workout that that's going to encapsulate, that's going to be accessible for somebody to, to, to run their homeschool kids program through and have the fittest athletes on earth bury themselves.

00:13:49.539 --> 00:13:57.155
But I think it was a good test in the sense that it was highly accessible.

00:13:57.155 --> 00:13:58.077
It did force you to.

00:13:58.077 --> 00:14:08.714
It was 15 minutes of pretty continuous movement for basically everybody, which is great, and that opens up the possibility for workouts that are going to require a little bit more strategy.

00:14:08.774 --> 00:14:19.340
As far as breaking things up, you know you got to expect to see it doesn't even need to be a heavy barbell, a, a weighted barbell and a a skill component.

00:14:19.340 --> 00:14:21.306
That's gonna separate some folks.

00:14:21.306 --> 00:14:24.928
But, um, they they definitely with.

00:14:24.928 --> 00:14:39.304
With crossfit being so far in the doghouse with so many people, it would have been a real fucking kick in the tits to program movements that are not accessible for like you know, the 99% of the populations.

00:14:39.546 --> 00:14:41.452
Like you've already isolated a lot of people.

00:14:41.452 --> 00:14:48.179
Like, if you're going to program something that does that further, you're barking up the wrong tree.

00:14:48.259 --> 00:15:06.453
So yeah, I, I was thinking about it before we started recording and it's like I think it's one of those moments where if you told me I had to argue that it was a feature or a bug, I could probably run back and forth from podiums to be like, because it's kind of too many reps.

00:15:06.453 --> 00:15:08.677
There's a lot of fucking reps.

00:15:08.677 --> 00:15:10.019
It's like, is that necessary?

00:15:10.019 --> 00:15:12.352
But then there's a part of me and this comes from.

00:15:12.613 --> 00:15:23.886
This is like I don't get to do rx open workouts very often because if there's a high rep hinging, um, that's weighted or squatting, I'm gonna fuck my back up like royally, um.

00:15:23.886 --> 00:15:36.035
So I got to do it and I told you guys in a in a meeting yesterday like like, uh, biking and doing strict press, it's not fucking CrossFit.

00:15:36.035 --> 00:15:54.571
Like like my, like my pulling muscles are wrecked my bicep, my forearm, literally just from bringing the dumbbell back down from overhead, dumbbell back down from overhead and I took a 15 point hit to my hrv.

00:15:54.571 --> 00:16:03.772
And if you are able to go in and do that many reps under intensity and then carry on, um, it's kind of this like incredible way of saying like this training is the way that you.

00:16:03.772 --> 00:16:08.359
This guy thinks he didn't do me dirty in this photo here.

00:16:08.359 --> 00:16:19.573
If you're watching on youtube like it's, it's an accurate representation of what was happening red eagle judge in the background all right and nick witt winner yeah, I have to, oh yeah

00:16:19.594 --> 00:16:22.866
look at my face seb yeah, but here's the thing.

00:16:22.866 --> 00:16:23.830
Like this is the part.

00:16:23.830 --> 00:16:26.596
Like this picture isn't taking on your first rep.

00:16:26.636 --> 00:16:28.182
This is the part like this picture isn't taking on your first rep.

00:16:28.182 --> 00:16:29.424
This is like when you're past rep like 150.

00:16:29.424 --> 00:16:30.909
Get you back in the L1.

00:16:32.187 --> 00:16:37.518
I just think like if anyone looks dirty as Hunter who's biting his lips staring at you, do this workout.

00:16:37.958 --> 00:16:39.462
Yeah yeah, he looks hungry.

00:16:39.462 --> 00:16:40.404
I'm not going to lie.

00:16:40.404 --> 00:16:41.990
Look at that fucking meat locker back there.

00:16:41.990 --> 00:16:42.693
You didn't see it.

00:16:43.905 --> 00:16:45.793
That's why Drew's muting his hip so bad.

00:16:48.105 --> 00:16:48.184
He's.

00:16:48.184 --> 00:16:49.350
That's why drew's muting his hip so bad he's hiding it.

00:16:49.350 --> 00:16:49.892
He's hiding it from daddy.

00:16:49.892 --> 00:16:51.197
I have never muted my hip in a single movement in my life.

00:16:51.256 --> 00:16:53.245
You've never used your hip in a single movement.

00:16:53.785 --> 00:17:03.509
That is accurate that is very true, um, so, yeah, I mean, I again bury myself on a c2 bike two to four times a week.

00:17:03.509 --> 00:17:17.136
I lift a lot um project loipops, seeing if I can get myself up to 225 pounds on the old shoulder press, um, and that puts you in good general shape.

00:17:17.136 --> 00:17:27.954
Doing that, doing those things, going back and forth, it's not couplets and triplets performed at high intensity, it just isn't, um, and I, I like that Like, you know what I mean.

00:17:27.954 --> 00:17:31.494
Like, like, in a perfect world I would be an affiliate.

00:17:31.494 --> 00:17:40.090
I would probably be the kind of person that'd be in an affiliate class, like three or four days a week and then, because I like to be the mad scientist, do my own thing on the other days.

00:17:40.090 --> 00:17:50.050
But, like, um, you know, too many sports, too many car accidents, too many concussion, all these different things make it more challenging for for me to go do that.

00:17:50.050 --> 00:17:56.704
And I love that kind of reminder of like, yeah, you, you do, you still do mixed modality.

00:17:56.704 --> 00:18:01.144
You jump into class when it's appropriate, but maybe you're not doing CrossFit.

00:18:01.144 --> 00:18:02.569
So that was a nice.

00:18:02.569 --> 00:18:03.953
That was a nice little reminder.

00:18:03.953 --> 00:18:10.906
There was a nice little reminder there.

00:18:10.926 --> 00:18:12.130
Um, heart rate essentially, my garment looked like a red brick?

00:18:12.130 --> 00:18:15.137
Um, just 178, it's just a straight line.

00:18:15.137 --> 00:18:18.527
I think if I had a chest strap on it would have been even more ridiculous.

00:18:18.527 --> 00:18:27.074
Um, you know, you get a lot of upper body movement with the watch on the wrist, so it it's jagged um, and, honestly, I wasn't.

00:18:27.074 --> 00:18:33.587
I was probably given it somewhere between 80 and 90%, making sure I didn't hurt myself.

00:18:33.587 --> 00:18:40.809
Um, so for that to be the the outcome, um, nice little nod to the old, to the old, fucking.

00:18:40.809 --> 00:18:43.196
Constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity.

00:18:43.484 --> 00:18:43.605
I did.

00:18:43.605 --> 00:18:55.913
One thing I will give CrossFit credit for in this workout specifically is just like the super small things they changed about the judging, like requirements like the dumbbell, clean and jerk.

00:18:55.913 --> 00:19:03.700
Like you can clean and jerk the dumbbell on your first rep, versus like the weird, establish the hang and then start your clean and jerk.

00:19:03.700 --> 00:19:08.262
And it's like I understand like, hey, this is what a hang clean and jerk is.

00:19:08.262 --> 00:19:09.247
You establish the.

00:19:09.247 --> 00:19:11.011
This is what a hang power clean is.

00:19:11.011 --> 00:19:14.769
It's not a power clean off the floor with with a barbell like that's obvious.

00:19:14.769 --> 00:19:24.688
But when it's like an open workout like this, when they're saying like as long as everybody's playing by the same rules, like I don't give a fuck if you clean and jerk the first rep, it doesn't confer an advantage to anybody.

00:19:24.688 --> 00:19:25.869
It's just like here's the rule.

00:19:25.869 --> 00:19:43.115
I think it's just super little stuff like that they finally figured out after fucking 17 years of the burpee of like you're, both feet have to be off the ground at the same height, at the same altitude, at the same time for the same amount of time and they both have to touch the ground simultaneously.

00:19:43.115 --> 00:19:49.135
Like and it's like, just don't step over the dumbbell, do it mostly good.

00:19:49.135 --> 00:19:53.634
And again like if everybody's playing by the same kind of the is.

00:19:53.634 --> 00:20:05.789
Once you start to like, really try to specify the judging requirement that is being asked of volunteer judges and affiliate athletes, who can barely count to three on their own to begin with.

00:20:05.789 --> 00:20:07.112
Like we're making this.

00:20:07.112 --> 00:20:08.895
We're making this a lot harder than it has to be.

00:20:08.895 --> 00:20:15.285
An obvious, simple workout, but like I'm hopeful that they like future movements that they do in the open.

00:20:15.285 --> 00:20:20.030
They really simplify as far as like yep, clean and jerk the first rep who gives a shit.

00:20:20.030 --> 00:20:24.115
And if you break it up, well, now there's a longer range of motion that you have to take the dumbbell.

00:20:24.115 --> 00:20:34.346
It's like there's no advantage to it.

00:20:34.346 --> 00:20:36.574
And instead of yelling at the affiliate athletes like establish the hang first.

00:20:36.574 --> 00:20:37.637
It's like no, it doesn't, that doesn't matter.

00:20:37.637 --> 00:20:38.480
So, uh, like super little things like that.

00:20:38.500 --> 00:20:42.707
I think it also just makes it a lot fucking easier for coaches to like brief standards to athletes.

00:20:42.707 --> 00:20:46.888
Um, I also liked how they included in the standards packet.

00:20:46.888 --> 00:20:50.131
Like this is these are common, no reps.

00:20:50.131 --> 00:20:54.093
It's like, as opposed to like do this, do that, do that.

00:20:54.093 --> 00:21:03.377
It's like you, we, everybody has seen athletes move for a long enough that there are a lot of general like yeah, this is a common thing when athletes.

00:21:03.377 --> 00:21:08.740
It's a hang clean and jerk Got it, yanks it off the floor, and the first like you, stupid motherfucker.

00:21:08.740 --> 00:21:09.961
It's like okay, let's.

00:21:09.961 --> 00:21:12.182
Well, now let's right, it's, we're gonna.

00:21:12.182 --> 00:21:15.195
We're gonna play it down to the, the lowest common denominator.

00:21:15.195 --> 00:21:30.848
But I think it just makes it easier for everybody, including the, the people trying to run like the classes, and then you can get get a little more in depth with the, the judging and the movement standards and stuff which is needed at the at the higher levels of competition.

00:21:31.390 --> 00:21:31.971
Yeah for sure.

00:21:31.971 --> 00:21:40.155
It's like the stark contrast of like I was going to yell bring back the V up with the imaginary line that you had to cross.

00:21:40.964 --> 00:21:51.361
Right, yes Like like we can accomplish what we're trying to accomplish without doing this to these workouts, right, yeah?

00:21:51.361 --> 00:21:56.929
And then I don't know, how do you feel about the?

00:21:56.929 --> 00:22:11.626
So I doubt you've looked into this, but basically the way that they're doing it this year is, if you are in an affiliate and you get judged, then your like spot on the leaderboard is fine, they're.

00:22:11.626 --> 00:22:24.512
They're giving prizes out, so they're telling high level athletes like, hey, if you think you've got a shot at top three in the open or top three in a workout, then film your video, or film your workout and submit a video.

00:22:24.512 --> 00:22:27.396
Um, it's just interesting.

00:22:27.597 --> 00:22:33.311
I'm not sure how I feel about the like you don't need a video anymore, kind of side of it.

00:22:33.311 --> 00:22:37.159
Um, I will say that I really just don't.

00:22:37.159 --> 00:22:53.454
I don't believe that there are that many people out there that are left, like those old school, like the early days of crossfit, where there'd be that one person at regionals and it's like what you said you did and the person who said you did that.

00:22:53.454 --> 00:22:59.617
There's no fucking way that that happened yeah, I mean, I think there's pros and cons.

00:22:59.637 --> 00:23:13.000
There will always be that person who tries to figure out a way around the rules, whether it's I'm gonna loop my video for eight perfect rounds of thrusters and double unders, or like, how in God's name did you make it to this stage?

00:23:13.184 --> 00:23:21.000
I think it's like, if I mean, if you're, if you're bullshitting your way up the leaderboard, I think I don't know.

00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:24.675
I think the competition takes care of itself in that regard.

00:23:24.675 --> 00:23:52.919
Like, in that regard, I don't think there are enough people that are attempting to achieve, like, like look, I was 800th in the open, where you do have to have a judge, and like you do have to meet the standards a little bit more rigorously and you're.

00:23:52.919 --> 00:23:58.487
And then there are other standards are required of your affiliate as far as a judge and a head judge and all that sort of shit goes.

00:23:58.487 --> 00:24:31.690
And it's like I think there are enough layers that protect the integrity of the upper limit of the competition, which and and the upper end athletes, who are so few that it's like I don't know it would be it'd be very strange to me to see, like a entirely, completely unqualified person step foot onto in wherever the fuck the games are albany this year, um right making it through the semi-finals process and stuff like that crossfit.

00:24:32.511 --> 00:24:55.430
Crossfit needs to do everything they can to keep people interested, and by like you know, making it a little bit easier, more accessible a little bit easier, like makes that happen and then, like at the highest level of competition which applies to just a such a small fraction of the population, it's's like, okay, well, we'll, we'll be hard asses on those people, but uh, just got to hope that people are are doing the right thing for the most part.

00:24:55.430 --> 00:24:57.994
And there's just no like there.

00:24:57.994 --> 00:25:01.086
It's just it's either ego or pride.

00:25:01.086 --> 00:25:04.971
There's no tangible thing that somebody is is fighting for.

00:25:04.971 --> 00:25:14.689
And if you want to get prizes for being top three in a workout or something, then yeah, that makes sense that you have to prove, prove the fact that you actually did something.

00:25:14.689 --> 00:25:19.125
But I don't even think that, like workout, I didn't have to validate any scores.

00:25:19.125 --> 00:25:20.586
They automatically validate.

00:25:20.586 --> 00:25:23.849
Like I I've.

00:25:23.849 --> 00:25:34.642
I went into the back end of the affiliate profile and it's like there are no scores that are like unvalidated and I haven't done anything in that regard.

00:25:34.642 --> 00:25:39.115
So I'm not sure Weird, yeah, very strange.

00:25:39.195 --> 00:25:40.018
I didn't know that was a thing.

00:25:40.018 --> 00:25:44.170
How would you categorize this workout?

00:25:44.170 --> 00:25:46.556
This is cardio Cardio.

00:25:46.556 --> 00:25:48.375
Yeah, so we're probably it's weird, like I feel.

00:25:48.375 --> 00:25:58.359
So we're probably it's weird, like I feel like we're not gonna get our merry-go-round I think that was the merry-go-round right, yeah, in a way it's just a little bit shorter than it normally is yeah.

00:25:58.380 --> 00:26:05.196
Yeah, I think you'll see a better merry-go-round in the online semifinals, but I think that's what you got.

00:26:05.196 --> 00:26:15.109
I mean, it could be like 15 minutes there's how long was 24.1 seven and a half eight minutes for the best.

00:26:15.596 --> 00:26:16.397
So it was a pro.

00:26:16.439 --> 00:26:21.160
It was much more appropriate for then it to be the 20 minute the 20 minute AMRAP afterwards.

00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:24.288
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

00:26:24.957 --> 00:26:25.178
So that's.

00:26:25.178 --> 00:26:25.922
It's interesting.

00:26:25.922 --> 00:26:26.195
I'm not.

00:26:26.195 --> 00:26:33.280
I'm not entirely sure what direction we're headed now, cause you kind of assume we're going to.

00:26:33.280 --> 00:26:39.326
We're going to really get into the gas tank work in 25.3, that's typically.

00:26:39.326 --> 00:26:50.376
We save your, your, you know, long range of motion, dynamic type movements, um, and could potentially be a redo.

00:26:50.376 --> 00:27:00.278
Although I I don't love our options for the redo, I do still think that it's possible for the double under wall walk workout to to come back this week.

00:27:01.460 --> 00:27:08.490
Um, I, I'm not sold on it based on their just oh, oh the the for time.

00:27:08.529 --> 00:27:12.782
The first one yeah, um, I'm not sold on.

00:27:12.803 --> 00:27:21.928
I don't think you're gonna get two predominantly body weight workouts back exactly, yes, some sort of loading on this, and it's probably not going to be a dumbbell again.

00:27:21.928 --> 00:27:24.259
So right, yeah um.

00:27:24.901 --> 00:27:25.702
So yeah, it's interesting.

00:27:25.702 --> 00:27:27.906
We've obviously got our deadlift left.

00:27:27.906 --> 00:27:30.217
You could say that we have our power snatch.

00:27:30.217 --> 00:27:30.897
We'll see.

00:27:30.897 --> 00:27:33.760
Obviously that's a, that's an adjacent movement.

00:27:33.760 --> 00:27:36.003
You've got your thruster.

00:27:36.003 --> 00:27:50.930
There's always more iterations of dumbbell work that can be put in, sometimes considered more accessible, but that can also be not true when it's such a pain in the ass to deal with at the affiliate level.

00:27:50.930 --> 00:27:52.994
That sort of thing.

00:27:52.994 --> 00:28:01.686
Yeah, if it's a long workout um, which hopefully we're, we're beyond that it's a long workout with the dumbbells that can be a little bit more challenging to deal with.

00:28:01.686 --> 00:28:03.500
So it'll be interesting to see.

00:28:03.500 --> 00:28:08.796
I don't think that there's like a clear path into what 25.2 is going to be.

00:28:09.616 --> 00:28:16.248
Um, we've got our pulling gymnastics and rowing today's uh, yeah, I could see something like that.

00:28:16.248 --> 00:28:29.529
Today's cap and just crossfitcom workout is 21, 18, 15, 12, 963 deadlift, wall walk, dead light deadlifts and with two wall walks after each set.

00:28:29.529 --> 00:28:37.646
Um, so be very surprised to see a cap workout uh on tuesday be replicated on thursday.

00:28:37.767 --> 00:28:42.944
So I don't ever see cap, but I do have to give a shout out to the dot-com.

00:28:42.944 --> 00:28:44.892
Workouts have been pretty fucking good lately.

00:28:44.892 --> 00:28:46.739
There have been some bangers in there.

00:28:46.739 --> 00:28:48.064
Yeah, there was a.

00:28:48.064 --> 00:28:49.789
There have been some stretches of some.

00:28:49.789 --> 00:28:57.186
No offense to whoever wrote it, but questionable I'll offend, I'll offend every single guest programmer.

00:28:57.186 --> 00:29:01.743
Whoever fucking wrote a week of dot-com programming, um, but it's been good.

00:29:01.743 --> 00:29:06.080
I don't know if you, if you, pay attention to that, if you, yeah, no, I open, I open that email every day.

00:29:06.101 --> 00:29:15.707
I like, I like seeing what they got um, yeah, yeah, and that's some good ones real simple kind of nasty couplets, triplets, not overthinking it, but also not like completely vanilla.

00:29:16.367 --> 00:29:17.349
I call it a swirl.

00:29:18.111 --> 00:29:22.301
Um yeah, yeah well I, I see a squat.

00:29:22.301 --> 00:29:24.204
I see a squat of some capacity.

00:29:24.204 --> 00:29:29.560
Maybe it could also be like uh, you might, maybe you get your lift, but I don't know.

00:29:29.560 --> 00:29:41.479
With with only two left and a re and one of them being a retest, like that, that sounds cliche, but I I gotta imagine there's gonna be a thruster on in the third week or something like that.

00:29:41.479 --> 00:29:49.182
So if it's squat, if it's a squat this week, maybe it's a finish with a one rep max or something like that.

00:29:49.402 --> 00:29:52.007
But what was the?

00:29:52.007 --> 00:29:52.969
This is good at mind.

00:29:52.969 --> 00:29:54.878
It's a dumbbell.

00:29:54.878 --> 00:29:56.060
Thruster totobar.

00:29:56.060 --> 00:29:58.826
What year was that one that?

00:29:58.866 --> 00:30:01.137
19, I think absurd merry-go-round.

00:30:01.157 --> 00:30:05.708
It was like in one rep of everything yeah, it was four, four, six, twenty four.

00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:10.267
I had always I felt like there was two.

00:30:10.267 --> 00:30:20.265
I'm still looking for the gray area but, like the thruster, in a lot of instances, especially for an affiliate athlete, has been like a little overreaching.

00:30:20.265 --> 00:30:28.903
I like the idea of using tools like that and a repeatable set, kind of like the the 15 reps of 75 pound power snatch Like.

00:30:28.903 --> 00:30:34.378
Can we get, like you know, a 12 to 15 rep thruster?

00:30:34.378 --> 00:30:36.383
Or you know, depending on the weight, what it is?

00:30:36.383 --> 00:30:40.569
You know it could be 75, 55, or you could go a little bit lower, like things like that.

00:30:40.569 --> 00:30:52.700
You really have to figure out what your pacing looks like, because the tool is used more to drive the metabolic side of things than it is to see if you've got the muscle endurance to continue to do it.

00:30:52.700 --> 00:31:03.477
Continue to do it all right.

00:31:03.497 --> 00:31:05.623
So during these podcasts um, I intentionally did not do life chat at the beginning.

00:31:05.623 --> 00:31:18.549
We get a lot of new listeners, um, but we have seven fans, um that love our life chat, talk to me about um it in the gym and send me DMs about it and all that good stuff.

00:31:18.549 --> 00:31:21.223
So we're going to put a live chat at the end here.

00:31:21.223 --> 00:31:24.182
I'm going to put you, gentlemen, on the spot.

00:31:24.182 --> 00:31:26.461
What do we got for live chat boys.

00:31:26.461 --> 00:31:27.124
What's going on?

00:31:38.494 --> 00:31:41.762
got fucking jabronis cross-country skiing out here on the first, second, first and second fairway of riverside golf course.

00:31:41.762 --> 00:31:50.643
Despite uh golf season rapidly approaching, nobody appears to be clearing off the snow from these fairways, which is uh frustrating.

00:31:50.643 --> 00:31:57.243
So maybe I'll send a email to janet mills, but uh, that's the least hit up your.

00:31:57.263 --> 00:32:02.423
Congresswoman yeah, Hit up your Congresswoman, Make sure we get those fairways cleared for golf season.

00:32:02.423 --> 00:32:05.836
Um, but yeah, I mean I am.

00:32:05.836 --> 00:32:09.365
I'm just very, very close to pulling the trigger on a driving iron.

00:32:09.365 --> 00:32:10.448
I told you about this.

00:32:10.448 --> 00:32:13.942
Um, I'm really trying to figure out exactly which one I need.

00:32:14.162 --> 00:32:15.945
Um, get that old school.

00:32:15.945 --> 00:32:22.144
Have you seen the video, the john daly video, where they made him the one iron or is a zero.

00:32:22.144 --> 00:32:23.689
It's either a zero or a one.

00:32:23.689 --> 00:32:29.887
Yeah probably a zero or a one, no I haven't they like literally made this club specifically for him?

00:32:30.055 --> 00:32:43.375
just brought this like a mallet out onto the golf course and could hit it dead center, like 300 plus, like just right down the fucking middle, and I think he brought it to one of the places over in scotland that was like crazy windy.

00:32:43.375 --> 00:32:52.542
Yeah, he was worried about fucking putting that that boomer john daly, up into the fucking stratosphere and who knows what's gonna happen with the wind up there.

00:32:52.542 --> 00:32:58.336
Um, but like it was a big deal when it happened because all the other people were like what the fuck is that thing?

00:32:58.817 --> 00:33:00.561
like flat face like.

00:33:00.561 --> 00:33:03.547
So I'm a, I'm a proponent.

00:33:03.547 --> 00:33:04.429
I haven't again.

00:33:04.429 --> 00:33:27.167
I don't actually golf, um, but back in the day when I was trying to make the freshman golf team at scarborough high school, I was a driving iron guy yeah, yeah, there is something to be said, uh, from an ego perspective, about strutting up onto a t-box with a with a fucking driving iron.

00:33:27.548 --> 00:33:32.028
Um, that, like some of the reviews on taylormade, it's like I am the alpha.

00:33:32.028 --> 00:33:39.163
Uh, it's like it's really hard to say no to, to just a driving iron that you may not be able to hit, but it looks really fucking good.

00:33:39.163 --> 00:33:40.652
So I'm uh, yeah.

00:33:40.752 --> 00:33:43.259
On the fence when you out drive someone with an iron.

00:33:43.259 --> 00:33:43.760
It's nice.

00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:45.403
I can tell you that it is a nice feeling.

00:33:45.403 --> 00:33:47.669
Yeah, it's a nice nice driver there, huh.

00:33:47.669 --> 00:34:00.270
Yeah, but might suit my actual what I want to use it for, or maybe something a little bit sleeker.

00:34:00.270 --> 00:34:02.942
So yeah, I'll keep the people updated.

00:34:02.942 --> 00:34:05.914
I know you guys are really concerned about what's in the bag.

00:34:05.914 --> 00:34:08.121
There are seven people that want to know.

00:34:08.121 --> 00:34:08.985
Hunter, you got to keep them going.

00:34:09.255 --> 00:34:13.384
There are no fewer than seven people who can't wait for me to stop talking about golf.

00:34:14.226 --> 00:34:15.628
True, yeah, you got both.

00:34:15.628 --> 00:34:16.980
We got to give the people what they need.

00:34:17.240 --> 00:34:19.797
Yeah, give the people what they need, not necessarily what they want.

00:34:21.322 --> 00:34:21.422
Eb.

00:34:21.422 --> 00:34:22.726
What's good Sorry.

00:34:23.557 --> 00:34:29.344
I was trying to find that YouTube video but it says it was back in 96 and I'm having a hard time finding it.

00:34:29.686 --> 00:34:32.501
There's just a whole bunch of YouTube videos like people trying to remake.

00:34:32.501 --> 00:34:45.081
Were remake like were either of you alive?

00:34:45.081 --> 00:34:45.983
Yeah, I'm trying to find the john daly one.

00:34:45.983 --> 00:34:46.643
I, I was alive.

00:34:46.643 --> 00:34:47.204
I was five um live chat.

00:34:47.204 --> 00:34:50.889
Uh, yeah, my, uh, abysmal performance in the 25.1 workout.

00:34:50.889 --> 00:34:58.789
Uh, giveni don't do any cardio and I probably haven't done a workout like that since last year at 24.1.

00:34:58.789 --> 00:35:04.838
But I had Mexican food around 4.30 and I went and did the workout.

00:35:04.838 --> 00:35:06.985
I think it was an hour after.

00:35:08.317 --> 00:35:09.382
Did you warm up Seb?

00:35:10.474 --> 00:35:11.579
Yeah, I was actually.

00:35:11.579 --> 00:35:13.057
Yeah, I did.

00:35:13.219 --> 00:35:37.483
Drew was there Because you, I was coaching a class, I was, I was, I was coaching he sort of warmed up I was coaching the thursday class and it took literally one like somewhat offhand comment by sid to suggest it was like it was like you're gonna do this workout and seb was like all right, fine I don't think you heard the zero warm-up grabbed an empty barbell and got after it.

00:35:37.483 --> 00:35:40.228
I was like did you not warm up for 25.1?

00:35:40.414 --> 00:35:42.724
Toast to bar were good, though Can we at least give me that.

00:35:44.315 --> 00:35:45.498
Have you done a beginner's class?

00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:48.246
Have you ever taken an on-ramp class?

00:35:48.246 --> 00:35:51.735
No, I nearly believed it out there.

00:35:51.735 --> 00:35:52.978
He knew the answer to that question.

00:35:53.358 --> 00:36:03.427
Honestly, I didn't because the first time you came in and worked out it was like, okay, like we got some, some movement that we can improve on.

00:36:03.427 --> 00:36:04.157
But it wasn't.

00:36:04.157 --> 00:36:08.530
It was on the, it was on the beginner end of the spectrum.

00:36:08.530 --> 00:36:16.304
And then after, to be honest, watching you do your bent arm toes to bar um, I was like I don't Say what.

00:36:17.007 --> 00:36:17.768
Torn labrum baby.

00:36:17.768 --> 00:36:19.311
Yeah, seth, so I do you can't straighten it out?

00:36:19.311 --> 00:36:21.735
You guys know that.

00:36:25.601 --> 00:36:27.766
Yeah well, so that's what led me to wonder.

00:36:27.766 --> 00:36:33.166
We got to bring you back up here and take you through an on-ramp class to get you moving good guy.

00:36:33.315 --> 00:36:34.481
You guys didn't hear those.

00:36:34.481 --> 00:36:42.211
Sid used a word to get me to do that workout that I will not repeat on this podcast.

00:36:42.231 --> 00:36:42.755
But was it pussy she did.

00:36:42.974 --> 00:36:44.300
She's like you're being a big one.

00:36:44.300 --> 00:36:49.514
I was like oh, I was like all right, but yes, no, torn labrum Very limited.

00:36:49.795 --> 00:36:56.936
Can I get that clip, seb Just Hunter saying those three words yeah, yeah, I'm going to need that clipped.

00:36:57.478 --> 00:37:01.378
All right, yeah, yeah, don't tear the labrum, but no dude, it's torn.

00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:02.960
I just work around it.

00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:05.101
So I just do bent arm toaster bar.

00:37:05.121 --> 00:37:06.561
You're going to tear it again.

00:37:06.561 --> 00:37:09.902
If you don't bend your arm or if you're straight in your arm, I'm just going to throw that out there.

00:37:09.902 --> 00:37:11.603
You're not helping the situation.

00:37:12.143 --> 00:37:13.525
Listen, I'm just being honest.

00:37:13.525 --> 00:37:15.626
