When your entire competitive season hinges on making semifinals cutlines, what's stopping you from giving everything you've got? In this no-holds-barred analysis of CrossFit Open 25.2, the Misfit Athletics coaches dive deep into the psychology behind workout redos and the disconnect many athletes experience between their stated goals and their actions.

Through real examples from the Misfit community, we explore how seemingly small decisions—like whether to redo a workout when you're hovering near qualification cutoffs—reveal profound truths about competitive mindset. As one coach bluntly puts it: "If your goal is to qualify for semi-finals and you are potentially on the fringe with a workout to go, why would you ever leave that to chance?" This episode isn't just about workout strategy; it's about honest self-assessment and ensuring your behaviors align with your ambitions.

The episode features detailed performance analysis comparing the 2022 version of this workout with this year's results, showing modest improvements at all levels of the leaderboard. We celebrate standout performances from Brandon True, Paige Semenza, and Jack Strum while providing actionable insights for athletes of all levels. Perhaps most valuable is the discussion of what makes 25.2 such an excellent benchmark—accessible enough for everyone to participate while clearly demonstrating the enormous gap between everyday athletes and elite performers.

Looking ahead to 25.3, we discuss the leaked workout format potentially featuring rowing, wall walks, and deadlifts, examining the strategic implications and addressing concerns about competitive integrity when workouts leak early. Whether you're gunning for semifinals or simply trying to surpass your personal goals, this episode delivers the perfect blend of technical analysis, psychological insight, and competitive wisdom to help you finish the Open strong.

How?

00:02:12.132 --> 00:02:27.262
we doing you're looking at it, man two-thirds of the way through the open and I almost opened with happy, happy final week, but it's like only kind of the final week from the competitive coaching side of things.

00:02:27.262 --> 00:02:30.711
It's not the final week, um, until we.

00:02:30.711 --> 00:02:40.284
Well, I guess it's tuesday, so it's the final week, because seven days from now all will be right in the world, right?

00:02:40.985 --> 00:02:41.826
yeah the uh the some Right.

00:02:41.826 --> 00:02:45.050
Yeah the uh the some of these times are fucking stupid.

00:02:46.330 --> 00:02:47.031
Yes, they are.

00:02:47.031 --> 00:02:48.832
Yes, I agree.

00:02:48.832 --> 00:02:51.055
Um, there's a?

00:02:51.055 --> 00:03:00.627
Uh, there's a top, top secret um person that's not on the leaderboard right now that we'll talk about here in a couple of weeks, and their time was real fast.

00:03:00.627 --> 00:03:17.716
It was real fast and then they redid it and it got real faster, um, so, yeah, I'm broken all the way through a couple of trips on the on the dubs would have been up there for the for the first place this year.

00:03:18.676 --> 00:03:28.193
Um, all right, so we are going to be reading from the hashtag misfit athlete leaderboards here.

00:03:28.193 --> 00:03:33.147
Seb, you got that uh one through ten wheel ready to go here.

00:03:33.147 --> 00:03:43.187
Um, I will say that we won't do repeat winners and then, if I give you free shit already, um, you don't win.

00:03:43.187 --> 00:03:46.574
Hunter, I'm so sorry, although you're not on the list this week.

00:03:46.574 --> 00:03:47.805
So we'll get into that.

00:03:47.805 --> 00:03:48.407
We'll wait.

00:03:48.407 --> 00:03:50.247
We'll get into the recap here in a little bit.

00:03:50.247 --> 00:04:08.647
So go to your competition dashboard, gamescrossfitcom, go to custom hashtags and type in a misfit athlete and add that you still got another week to be entered into this um to get some free shit, and then we will do next week.

00:04:08.647 --> 00:04:17.011
There'll be two rounds of it, so there'll be 25.3 winners and then overall misfit winners um, so make sure you go in and add that hashtag.

00:04:17.451 --> 00:04:19.122
I know a lot of you were panicking last week.

00:04:19.122 --> 00:04:21.468
There seems to be a lag with it.

00:04:21.468 --> 00:04:26.067
So, like a lot of people like scrambled to get it done and they're like it's not showing up.

00:04:26.067 --> 00:04:29.848
It's not showing up, um, but it's probably showing up now.

00:04:29.848 --> 00:04:33.163
And if you get this done earlier this week, um, you want to be on the leaderboard?

00:04:33.163 --> 00:04:36.269
Uh, it'll be good to go for 25.3.

00:04:36.269 --> 00:04:43.569
We will start with the gentleman first um, two weeks in a row.

00:04:43.569 --> 00:04:45.634
First place, brandon True.

00:04:45.634 --> 00:04:47.805
Another shout out.

00:04:47.805 --> 00:04:57.735
Brandon's a remote client of mine and looked a little too good in his five minute and I think, 26, 27, second version.

00:04:57.735 --> 00:05:02.451
So we redid it yesterday and got it down to 519.

00:05:02.451 --> 00:05:08.923
And he did not look so good, that's not, I mean, like he died, did you?

00:05:08.942 --> 00:05:14.932
say his first time was I think 526 527, something like that.

00:05:14.932 --> 00:05:23.771
Almost a minute faster than the last time, than than 2022, um and then retested 10 seconds about 10 seconds faster.

00:05:24.411 --> 00:05:28.345
Yeah, and he was way ahead too, his body language to me.

00:05:28.345 --> 00:05:31.271
I saw a five minute-ish time in there.

00:05:31.271 --> 00:05:34.944
You just see this happen enough times and you watch enough videos.

00:05:34.944 --> 00:05:42.915
That, like the body language and the timing as you make your way into the last chunk, kind of tells a bit of a story.

00:05:42.915 --> 00:05:48.490
And he went to basically complete failure.

00:05:48.490 --> 00:05:59.024
He squats like 500 and some pounds and I think he did three sets on the last barbell, so that tells you the shape, what was going on in his internals.

00:05:59.024 --> 00:06:14.935
Um so, brandon, true, brad miller, taylor sanders so Brandon True, brad Miller, taylor Sanders, austin Spencer, wyatt, mel Shout out, wyatt holding it down for the Mel Enslin household while McKenna's in the boot making sure they get onto that leaderboard there.

00:06:14.935 --> 00:06:18.627
I actually gave him a little bit of advice.

00:06:18.627 --> 00:06:24.975
We were four for four yesterday in my coaching group on redo, so I was pretty happy with that.

00:06:24.975 --> 00:06:31.129
Uh, kyle moline, adam salmani, anthony greco, huh.

00:06:31.129 --> 00:06:33.353
So I'm talking about, we can talk about him later.

00:06:33.372 --> 00:06:41.153
He's on my shit list currently oh, let's go, tony, he's not ryan and kyle cross.

00:06:41.192 --> 00:06:46.170
Yeah, play it up, though he's on your shit list for entertainment yeah, he's on your shit list For entertainment's sake.

00:06:46.170 --> 00:06:48.898
Yeah, he's on my shit list, just for entertainment, he's not actually.

00:06:48.898 --> 00:06:49.620
All right, seb what you got.

00:06:49.901 --> 00:06:51.879
Random number generator.

00:06:53.826 --> 00:06:55.132
I got number one, brandon.

00:06:55.132 --> 00:07:00.468
True, all right, brandon, we'll give you some free stuff.

00:07:00.468 --> 00:07:01.932
I guess you don't need to email me.

00:07:01.932 --> 00:07:05.144
You can Discord me, you can text me, you can do whatever you got to do.

00:07:05.144 --> 00:07:08.990
We'll send you some free shit congratulations, carrier pigeon.

00:07:10.394 --> 00:07:10.853
Should have sent.

00:07:10.853 --> 00:07:14.187
Should have sent, that should a western union all right.

00:07:15.750 --> 00:07:21.083
The top of the ladies leaderboard is none other than page simenza.

00:07:21.083 --> 00:07:25.430
We also had a little bit of a redo action there.

00:07:25.430 --> 00:07:30.728
Um wasn't really as much for leaderboard sake as how's my shoulder?

00:07:30.728 --> 00:07:41.884
Um the again, the body language didn't look very tired when she was doing it the first time and we're about a month out a little less than a month out for for the mayhem classic.

00:07:41.884 --> 00:07:53.548
So I thought, for peace of mind for the shoulder, with the pressing, with the bar muscle ups and all the pulling gymnastics, that it made sense to go back in there and take a bit of a bigger bite.

00:07:53.548 --> 00:08:05.269
So, paige Semenza, lindsay Hoffman, kelly Clark, blair Chaney, meredith Reyes, leah Murphy, elena Pomerisi, Adrian Winges, ashley Drabicki and Ashley Michael.

00:08:05.269 --> 00:08:08.785
Well done, seb, what you got.

00:08:10.060 --> 00:08:11.767
It's here, so people don't think I'm rigging this.

00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:20.273
We wouldn't rig it for Brandon Wow.

00:08:22.663 --> 00:08:25.403
Wow, that was close, adrian, you were so close.

00:08:26.447 --> 00:08:28.833
Damn Ashley Drabicki.

00:08:28.833 --> 00:08:32.267
Ashley, my email is coach at misfitathleticscom.

She's definitely won.

00:08:35.341 --> 00:08:37.628
Before too, she has.

00:08:38.009 --> 00:08:39.773
Yes, I've called her before.

00:08:39.773 --> 00:08:42.446
And last but not least, the CrossFit MF.

00:08:42.446 --> 00:08:46.686
You stick on the leaderboard for years it's true.

00:08:48.086 --> 00:08:52.287
Crossfit MF Misfit Jim Portland leaderboard for 25.2.

00:08:52.287 --> 00:08:54.466
Do you know who won this?

00:08:54.466 --> 00:08:55.524
Did you already look?

00:08:58.328 --> 00:09:07.109
no, I don't do you have a guess I want to say I feel like Jack put up a decent time.

00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:18.552
Yes, from the top row, atta boy he did my man, Jack Strum, Rachel Rogers, Michael Leone, Pebble Wood, Lizzie Bell, Bruno Kyle Pinkham, Timothy Timothy.

00:09:18.552 --> 00:09:19.815
Sorry, Tim Fuck.

00:09:20.340 --> 00:09:20.900
Timothy.

00:09:21.361 --> 00:09:29.134
Campanaro, Jennifer Bossy, Nick Whitaker and luke ravenel there were so many in the wheel.

00:09:30.543 --> 00:09:40.065
There were so many good efforts and performances on on that from the gym members oh, are we gonna get a eight nine split again?

00:09:41.326 --> 00:09:44.030
thank goodness we can't have nick whittaker winning two weeks in a row.

00:09:44.030 --> 00:09:48.822
Jen bossy yes jen I have fucking.

00:09:49.666 --> 00:09:52.394
Jen was in the hurt locker at the end of this thing.

00:09:52.394 --> 00:09:52.916
She was.

00:09:52.916 --> 00:09:54.100
She was rolling around.

00:09:54.100 --> 00:09:56.445
She hammered after she finished her bar muscle up.

00:09:56.445 --> 00:10:12.167
She just slung 15 unbroken reps yes, she did yeah, nick witt had didn't have a bar muscle up when he did that in 2022 and finished the workout, tim had a strategy adjustment.

00:10:12.167 --> 00:10:18.428
I would say when he retested it yesterday in the afternoon Way more controlled, way better execution.

00:10:18.428 --> 00:10:30.212
Shout out to him Rachel crushed it, mike crushed it, but Jack, that a a boy resident gymnast mark I hope.

00:10:30.232 --> 00:10:36.491
I hope jack snips this and and sends it to mark via all platforms yeah, let's that's.

00:10:36.692 --> 00:10:39.905
You know we're we're doing a recap podcast on a redo.

00:10:39.905 --> 00:10:44.306
We'll get into the workout a little bit, but we've got a little a little room to breathe here.

00:10:44.306 --> 00:10:46.172
Um, we have a.

00:10:46.172 --> 00:10:49.767
We have a coach here at Misfits in Portland.

00:10:49.767 --> 00:11:11.211
Um, the plays he plays mental gymnastics, jack is good at the, the physical gymnastics and Mark Mark will basically put himself in a situation where he talks shit and if he beats you, you obviously he continues to talk shit, but if he loses to you, he's like it.

00:11:11.732 --> 00:11:18.960
I've been eating doritos for the past three weeks, yeah exactly he'll say you beat a fat guy in a crossfit workout, congratulations.

00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:25.192
And jack I, I would say, is probably his most recent victim.

00:11:25.192 --> 00:11:36.351
We've, jack and I've had some sessions in the office just talking through how to deal with this situation, cause it's like he smashes him and he's excited and Mark then doesn't like, doesn't give him anything for it.

00:11:36.351 --> 00:11:39.948
So that can be tough, that can be tough.

00:11:39.948 --> 00:12:01.826
Um, so, yeah, yeah, the uh, you gotta, we'll, we'll, we'll give a shout out to Jack and we'll tell Mark, um, it's time to put the Doritos down.

00:12:01.846 --> 00:12:04.153
Um, we know that that you're riding your bike in the snow for some reason, um, very slowly, and riding your snowmobile.

00:12:04.153 --> 00:12:04.674
Let's get back in the gym.

00:12:04.674 --> 00:12:04.836
Let did.

00:12:04.836 --> 00:12:05.277
In his defense, he did.

00:12:05.277 --> 00:12:05.899
He did do the workout Honestly.

00:12:05.899 --> 00:12:06.320
I want that to be uh.

00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:09.025
I want that to be the people's open for the gym.

00:12:09.025 --> 00:12:14.385
Jack V Mark, I think that's the uh right, I think the people it was, it was, it was set up.

00:12:14.706 --> 00:12:16.009
It was set up to be there.

00:12:16.009 --> 00:12:18.462
And then we caught Mark on a downswing.

00:12:19.904 --> 00:12:31.120
He did, he did pretty good, I don't know what his I was, but he got six bar muscle-ups this time, so we're proud of the big man for getting over a pull-up bar.

00:12:31.139 --> 00:12:32.322
Yes, In reality.

00:12:32.322 --> 00:12:33.364
Yes, we are proud of him.

00:12:33.364 --> 00:12:39.394
For the sake of the podcast, we got to put a little WWE spin on the situation.

00:12:39.394 --> 00:12:41.980
Speaking of that, what's going on with Tony?

00:12:41.980 --> 00:12:42.820
Speaking of that?

00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:45.042
what's going on with Tony?

00:12:45.042 --> 00:12:48.342
Tony wants to qualify for semifinals.

00:12:48.342 --> 00:13:33.614
Tony makes a very strong first attempt at the workout and under what I would say, without getting into detail, suboptimal conditions due to work and life stress, messages me in the morning yesterday, before scores had finalized, and said 98th percentile, which you need to be in the top two percentile for your age group, based on I got like a rant inside a rant here but based on the unofficial bar bend numbers, because, unless you guys can correct, has CrossFit published the actual cut lines anywhere, like obviously visible?

00:13:34.179 --> 00:13:35.364
I don't think we hit the minimums.

00:13:35.364 --> 00:13:37.450
I think it's 200 people for the masters.

00:13:38.059 --> 00:13:39.081
Okay, so well.

00:13:39.081 --> 00:13:41.466
No, it's well not for his the age division.

00:13:41.466 --> 00:13:45.293
So his age group has more than 200.

00:13:45.293 --> 00:13:47.147
It's like top 500.

00:13:47.147 --> 00:13:50.370
According to Barpen it was, I think I was just looking at it here.

00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:54.009
According to Barpen, the top 529.

00:13:54.009 --> 00:14:04.315
And the rant inside the rant here is why the fuck CrossFit doesn't immediately post the cut lines somewhere extraordinarily obvious is beyond me.

00:14:04.315 --> 00:14:08.125
Post the cut lines somewhere extraordinarily obvious is beyond me.

00:14:08.125 --> 00:14:10.875
Make make everybody do some some fucking leaderboard math and figure out what the top two percentile is.

00:14:10.875 --> 00:14:18.346
But so we'll assume that 529 is the cut line for 50, for 35 to 39 men.

00:14:18.346 --> 00:14:30.224
Uh, and tony, when he said top 2%, it was like well, you're currently sitting in about 560th out of a necessary 529.

00:14:30.224 --> 00:14:42.908
So and this is you know, before scores close, you have to imagine there's that big influx of scores and his 802, 803 initial 806 maybe what did he tell me?

00:14:42.908 --> 00:14:55.432
Whatever, just just 804, and which was a little bit slower than she said, 30 seconds slower than 2022 messages me, says 98th percentile.

00:14:55.432 --> 00:14:56.375
What do you think?

00:14:56.375 --> 00:15:00.645
And in my head, what I, what I?

00:15:00.645 --> 00:15:02.168
This is not.

00:15:02.168 --> 00:15:02.788
This is not.

00:15:02.788 --> 00:15:04.130
Tony, I love you to death.

00:15:04.351 --> 00:15:08.783
I'm making a point because you are not the only athlete to to do this.

00:15:08.783 --> 00:15:29.582
If your goal is to qualify for semi-finals and you are potentially on the fringe of that qualification with a workout to go, why in god's name would you ever leave that to like, well, like, let's just see if this score is good enough.

00:15:29.582 --> 00:15:33.517
So the follow-up question is immediately just, can you go faster?

00:15:33.517 --> 00:15:42.845
Because if you shave 10 seconds off this workout and move up seven spots and that's the best you can do, well, then we know that that was the best you could do.

00:15:42.845 --> 00:15:44.168
We didn't leave it to chance.

00:15:44.168 --> 00:15:46.051
That's just where the chips fell this year.

00:15:46.051 --> 00:15:52.004
If we're saying, well, I don't want to redo the workout, then that's it one and that's.

00:15:52.004 --> 00:15:52.466
And he did.

00:15:52.466 --> 00:15:54.471
To be clear, tony did not say that, but the.

00:15:54.471 --> 00:16:00.339
The implication is that I don't want to redo this workout because I don't want to.

00:16:00.339 --> 00:16:02.024
It hurt, it's stressful, whatever.

00:16:02.024 --> 00:16:03.528
All those things which are, which are valid.

00:16:03.528 --> 00:16:13.081
But when the actions don't line up with the words I want to qualify for semifinals, but I've just, this workout will probably be fine.

00:16:13.221 --> 00:16:19.902
On to week three, that's where me, as the coach, I'm like okay, so like, let's what is.

00:16:19.902 --> 00:16:21.063
Is that the goal?

00:16:21.063 --> 00:16:22.004
Is it the?

00:16:22.004 --> 00:16:23.707
Is it the shiny object goal?

00:16:23.707 --> 00:16:24.369
And this is the.

00:16:24.369 --> 00:16:27.674
This is just so common with athletes who you know, we've talked about it.

00:16:27.695 --> 00:16:32.448
When it's like I want to qualify for the CrossFit Games, it's like what do you mean by that?

00:16:32.448 --> 00:16:52.322
You want to walk out onto the field wearing CrossFit Games, attire next to the fittest men and women on earth, or you want to sleep nine hours a night, track your macros like a maniac train, eat, sleep, recover, ignore your friends, family and do all of the things that are necessary to get there, like that's.

00:16:52.322 --> 00:16:57.885
That's actually what you're, what I'm hearing, whereas you're what you're saying is is like I want to.

00:16:57.885 --> 00:17:02.053
I want to stand on the field and, you know, be a CrossFit Games athlete.

00:17:02.053 --> 00:17:08.882
You know, be a crossfit games athlete.

00:17:08.882 --> 00:17:10.965
Um and and when the actions, and when, like the the actions don't necessarily line up with like.

00:17:10.965 --> 00:17:12.087
Well, if, can you go faster.

00:17:12.628 --> 00:17:25.536
And lo and behold, seven minutes and 32 seconds later, tony has shaved 30 seconds off his time and is 30 seconds slower, in theory, two seconds faster than 2022.

00:17:25.536 --> 00:17:30.079
And he's now sitting inside just inside 500.

00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:42.846
So his 490th some odd place that he was in yesterday morning would have almost certainly shuffled him into six 700th place outside looking in, you got one more workout to go.

00:17:42.846 --> 00:17:46.904
Outside looking in, you got one more workout to go.

00:17:46.904 --> 00:17:48.752
You get a workout that has movements that are not in your wheelhouse, that are, you know that.

00:17:48.752 --> 00:17:48.993
That has a.

00:17:48.993 --> 00:17:52.104
That has a movement that is a goat for you, whatever it happens to be.

00:17:52.144 --> 00:17:59.269
And all of a sudden, your semifinals, crossfit games, qualification dreams are gone because you didn't want to redo a workout.

00:17:59.269 --> 00:18:01.519
And again, tony, I love you.

00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:02.520
This is not.

00:18:02.520 --> 00:18:05.502
This is not a little bit of tough love, but it's more just.

00:18:05.502 --> 00:18:14.910
This is this is such a common thing for athletes of all at all competitive places that it's just worth kind of saying coin for the athlete.

00:18:14.910 --> 00:18:15.550
Instead, it's like.

00:18:15.550 --> 00:18:29.849
My response is according to Barben, you need to be here.

00:18:29.849 --> 00:18:30.872
You're currently here.

00:18:30.872 --> 00:18:44.105
Your score is probably not going to hold If you think you can go faster and therefore move yourself up the numerical leaderboard and the goal is to qualify for the next stage of competition.

00:18:44.105 --> 00:18:44.905
Like this is not.

00:18:44.905 --> 00:18:45.326
This is the.

00:18:45.326 --> 00:18:50.269
This is the simplest flowchart of if then statements that has ever existed in humanity.

00:18:50.269 --> 00:18:55.433
Right, it's like you redo the workout, you do it again and the worst case scenario is that For?

00:18:55.453 --> 00:18:55.773
videos.

00:18:55.773 --> 00:18:59.601
Uh, he didn't take a video.

00:18:59.601 --> 00:19:02.226
Yes, if, if they took them all, I'll watch them for sure.

00:19:02.226 --> 00:19:14.104
Uh had to watch justin's first attempt at some of the slowest burpees in history, at which point he finally redid his workout for the first time in eight years and hammered it um.

00:19:14.104 --> 00:19:29.994
And then tony, uh, he, he, he had to submit a video for for this one, so I'll I'll, I'll watch that for sure, but, um, I ask so.

00:19:30.015 --> 00:19:31.636
So, tony, I'm going to play good cop for a second Sort of sort of.

00:19:31.636 --> 00:19:41.250
There's a spectrum of partial to full lobotomy that takes place the day that 25.1 or 26.1 or 22.1 is announced.

00:19:41.250 --> 00:19:54.951
25.1 or 26.1 or 22.1 is announced, you don't always know how much of the frontal lobe has been lopped off of your athlete, but some of it has they.

00:19:54.951 --> 00:19:55.834
All you know what I mean, so so.

00:19:55.834 --> 00:20:13.429
So what I do personally is I ask for videos and I audit that video honestly, like I put it on mute, and from a very like technical like aspect I try not to think as much about what I know about the athlete.

00:20:13.469 --> 00:20:15.419
It's just like what does the body language look?

00:20:15.419 --> 00:20:15.680
Like?

00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.425
What in god's name is that rest period?

00:20:18.425 --> 00:20:23.101
Like, did you have a bowl of skittles there that you needed to eat in the middle of this workout?

00:20:23.101 --> 00:20:24.623
Like, what the fuck are you doing?

00:20:24.623 --> 00:20:37.395
Um, and I base it on things that I can say to them that then they can go visually watch, so it doesn't seem like like I had.

00:20:37.395 --> 00:20:38.237
I had an athlete.

00:20:38.237 --> 00:20:39.939
That that is basically.

00:20:39.939 --> 00:20:41.800
I went through the same thing with the athlete.

00:20:41.800 --> 00:20:42.682
It's like should I?

00:20:42.682 --> 00:20:48.509
I'm like I'm not even going to justify that with the answer that I want to give.

00:20:49.229 --> 00:20:57.340
Right, it's like you're fucking kidding me yeah, the answer that I will take the test again and it's obvious that you can go faster.

00:20:57.601 --> 00:20:59.747
And you have these huge goals and you work your ass off.

00:20:59.747 --> 00:21:00.268
What the fuck?

00:21:00.268 --> 00:21:01.580
What are we talking about?

00:21:01.580 --> 00:21:04.135
Yes, get your ass out there and redo this workout.

00:21:04.135 --> 00:21:07.596
Find that fucking dog, you know come on.

00:21:07.596 --> 00:21:08.958
What are you?

00:21:09.097 --> 00:21:21.182
talking about, but that message was baked into the question if they can go faster.

00:21:21.604 --> 00:21:23.983
I tell them that they can go faster.

00:21:23.983 --> 00:21:31.448
Yeah, because I just the headspace there is so wild for so many athletes and again some people.

00:21:31.448 --> 00:21:41.372
It gets easier for them over time, but I don't know, man, there's a lot of really good athletes that lose their fucking marbles around this stuff.

00:21:41.372 --> 00:21:53.165
So I have, I have given up on the like, let's, let's, let's talk about this through like, like reasoning, basically like it was just not gonna, we're not gonna go there.

00:21:53.165 --> 00:21:58.642
Um, so obviously redo.

00:21:58.642 --> 00:22:03.288
You're right over there, kid, sounds like I'm actually telling Tony currently.

00:22:04.980 --> 00:22:11.704
It's telling Tony that this will be a learning experience on this week's podcast, and I love him so.

00:22:11.704 --> 00:22:19.576
Make sure you get an old secretary After Daddy puts the belt away and gives him a hug and says I love you.

00:22:19.576 --> 00:22:21.564
Don't make me ever do that to you again, but I love you.

00:22:21.564 --> 00:22:22.638
That's the.

00:22:23.116 --> 00:22:29.563
Yeah, it sounded like in a movie when they make fun of stenographers, where they're not really typing anything.

00:22:29.563 --> 00:22:29.844
They're like.

00:22:29.844 --> 00:22:32.842
Someone says like one word oh yeah.

00:22:33.202 --> 00:22:36.915
That was good, Added a little color to the podcast, All right.

00:22:36.915 --> 00:22:39.344
So obviously we have a redo here.

00:22:39.344 --> 00:22:47.703
There isn't like the most to talk about in terms of breaking down the workout, because everyone kind of knows what it is.

00:22:47.703 --> 00:22:53.126
Um, you know you, you do some stuff that's like marginally fun.

00:22:53.126 --> 00:22:57.003
That would have been like a really big deal seven years ago.

00:22:57.003 --> 00:22:58.448
That like isn't anymore.

00:22:58.448 --> 00:23:05.209
And then the workout reveals itself to be your legs don't feel great.

00:23:05.209 --> 00:23:06.518
Your arms don't feel great.

00:23:06.518 --> 00:23:07.540
Your heart rate's very high.

00:23:07.540 --> 00:23:09.826
Now do 15 bar muscle ups.

00:23:09.826 --> 00:23:14.786
Pretend you're gonna jump rope and then survive a moderately heavy barbell on the thruster.

00:23:14.786 --> 00:23:18.575
You did the workout hunter.

00:23:18.575 --> 00:23:19.236
What do you?

00:23:19.236 --> 00:23:22.599
What do you have to say about it from the experiential side?

00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:47.105
Because I did it with push jerks and my triceps did not like the combination of locking out that barbell that quickly and then doing bar muscle-ups person to ask about that, I would say that, uh, both physical and psychological capacity to try hard that workout was was extraordinarily low for me yesterday.

00:23:47.125 --> 00:23:49.071
Uh, doing that in an open gym.

00:23:49.071 --> 00:23:57.867
So I got about 17 different actual, reasonable excuses as to why I felt pretty bad for myself.

00:23:57.867 --> 00:24:02.203
But uh, like I finished the workout, I took a seat on my barbells.

00:24:02.203 --> 00:24:11.258
Did not look the same as someone like a gen bossy who hammers out 15 unbroken heavy thrusters to finish her workout or or something like that.

00:24:11.337 --> 00:24:29.903
So, um so, what'd you leave 30 seconds on the table, a minute um, I mean, based on what my training has been like as of recently, that's probably like, yeah, maybe 30 or 60 seconds Definitely was not expecting to be anywhere near my first time.

00:24:29.903 --> 00:24:33.325
I really paced it.

00:24:33.325 --> 00:24:40.049
Probably, I don't know, maybe it was perfect for where I'm at currently, but it was just it.

00:24:40.049 --> 00:24:52.157
It was not a particularly strong effort that I'm that I'm proud of, but uh, like I said, the the give a shit factor was really not there for a uh, Monday workout.

00:24:52.157 --> 00:24:57.209
Very much a check in the box, cause I you know members, members are doing it.

00:24:57.209 --> 00:25:03.788
I'm encouraging members to do it, I'm going a score up there sure sometimes it's, sometimes it's.

00:25:04.715 --> 00:25:10.477
That is what it is, so it's one of those workouts at the bottom of the rx leaderboard you did.

00:25:10.477 --> 00:25:13.061
Yeah, I, I put in.

00:25:13.061 --> 00:25:18.638
I did the workout with push jerks because that that many squats would would ruin my back.

00:25:18.638 --> 00:25:27.962
But, um, I put in my score, just as the pull-ups and the double unders, and, um, I'm hoping I can play long enough in 25.3.

00:25:27.962 --> 00:25:32.829
Um, yeah, peggy and james hadley, I'm coming for you.

00:25:32.829 --> 00:25:34.121
I just want you to know that.

00:25:34.121 --> 00:25:46.069
I know that you guys jump me on the fucking leaderboard but, like, I just want you to know that if it really is a chunk of rowing into a chunk of wall walks before I have to deadlift, I'm going for it.

00:25:47.357 --> 00:25:50.747
I just got to hope that tie break time is right before that, barbell.

00:25:51.875 --> 00:25:57.863
Yeah, I'm fucking going Although I can't tell so not to bury the lead here.

00:25:57.863 --> 00:26:02.967
I'm sure everyone's heard by now, but the rumors are that it is row wall walk deadlift.

00:26:02.967 --> 00:26:07.805
But then the rumors of what the workout actually is look ridiculous.

00:26:07.805 --> 00:26:12.662
I can't imagine they're going to put 50 wall walks in the middle of a workout.

00:26:13.876 --> 00:26:17.479
Oh my god, that doesn't feel right you want to see the greatest comeback in history.

00:26:17.479 --> 00:26:28.765
Give me 50 wall walks in the middle of a workout and then 100 deadlifts at 135 oh my god oh oh, yeah, oh yeah, hunter's back.

00:26:28.825 --> 00:26:42.079
We got him back yeah, don't tempt me with a good time yeah, I mean I went in and looked this, the, the trying to audit like community-wide, like did we do better, did we do worse?

00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:44.616
Sort of thing is challenging for a bunch of reasons.

00:26:44.616 --> 00:26:57.932
One, it's a short workout, so like shaving a, what would be a noticeable percentage of, like a huge rep, amrap um, looks like just a few seconds on the leaderboard.

00:26:57.932 --> 00:27:01.647
So I basically went through and looked at like first through 10th um, that's what I was on the look at on the leaderboard.

00:27:01.647 --> 00:27:10.547
So I basically went through and looked at like first through 10th Um, that's what I was on the on the women's side went uh, four, 11 to four, 50,.

00:27:10.567 --> 00:27:12.755
Uh, in 2022 to four.

00:27:12.755 --> 00:27:13.917
18 to four, 42.

00:27:13.917 --> 00:27:16.903
Um, so eight seconds faster for 10th place.

00:27:16.903 --> 00:27:21.199
Um, hundredth place was nine seconds faster five, 40 to five, 31.

00:27:21.199 --> 00:27:23.365
And then a thousandth place was nine seconds faster 540 to 531.

00:27:23.365 --> 00:27:26.734
And then a thousandth place was five seconds faster 736 to 731.

00:27:26.734 --> 00:27:32.667
Problem is, I think that is skewed by the amount of signups.

00:27:32.667 --> 00:27:37.247
I think that that I think that hundredth and a thousandth is probably faster.

00:27:37.247 --> 00:27:40.945
I don't think there's probably any much difference on the on the front end there.

00:27:41.015 --> 00:27:43.679
I mean, if there's a smaller sample size, that got faster.

00:27:43.679 --> 00:27:50.349
You have to assume that if there's a larger sample size, it would probably be even faster.

00:27:50.349 --> 00:27:55.248
Yeah, that time the 731 goes back not forward right More people.

00:27:56.195 --> 00:28:00.718
Men's side was a little bit different 407 to 431.

00:28:00.718 --> 00:28:03.383
401 to 431.

00:28:03.383 --> 00:28:08.078
I really was hoping that colton got in under the four minute mark based on his video.

00:28:08.078 --> 00:28:15.642
He blacked out the little, the little piece there, um, but 401 is almost two seconds before he picked up that 135 bar.

00:28:15.662 --> 00:28:17.306
I was fucking embarrassing.

00:28:17.306 --> 00:28:18.394
He could have had it.

00:28:18.575 --> 00:28:25.144
Could have had a real respectable time I honestly didn't think that scott titlo's time he was 407.

00:28:25.144 --> 00:28:28.088
I didn't think it was possible to beat that.

00:28:28.088 --> 00:28:29.010
I should have known better.

00:28:29.010 --> 00:28:37.750
Um, because colton exists and he's fitter version of scott that's so, so stupid, that's so fast.

00:28:37.750 --> 00:28:43.546
It really is into the second place by 18 seconds is fucked, it's crazy.

00:28:43.807 --> 00:28:58.968
Watching colton do that workout is like watching like a very fit semi-finals athlete doing fran right where it's like yes, it's just like I have to do 90 reps as fast as humanly possible, I can do the next one.

00:28:58.968 --> 00:29:07.585
It's just a matter of how fast I go from thing to thing, and dude did that with obviously a much, much more.

00:29:07.585 --> 00:29:12.371
You know, intensity, volume, skill, difficulty.

00:29:12.371 --> 00:29:29.560
Like that was pretty impressive to watch, just could not move that super and he also moved super well super clean, yeah every single rep looked the same, really good yep, very true, uh, hundredth place, 510 to 502, so similar there.

00:29:29.800 --> 00:29:37.358
But then thousandth place, 628 to 630, um, and again, I think that's probably more of a measure of uh.

00:29:37.358 --> 00:29:41.507
I haven't seen the stats on whether the men's signups went down more than the women's signups.

00:29:41.507 --> 00:29:43.049
I'm not entirely sure.

00:29:43.049 --> 00:29:52.528
What I really like about this workout is you do a workout in the gym.

00:29:52.528 --> 00:29:56.144
So take today's workout, for example.

00:29:56.144 --> 00:30:05.924
Today's workout at the gym here Misfit Affiliate Programming, amrap 13 minutes, 7 burpee box jump overs, 5 strict handstand pushups, 3 hang squat cleans at 155.

00:30:05.944 --> 00:30:07.067
Is that right, hunter?

00:30:07.067 --> 00:30:18.048
Yes, so here's the problem with the way that so many people view semifinals, crossfit games.

00:30:18.048 --> 00:30:22.163
They do that workout in the gym, they move through it.

00:30:22.163 --> 00:30:22.829
They.

00:30:22.829 --> 00:30:24.278
First of all, you get the time warp.

00:30:24.278 --> 00:30:29.537
You feel like you're going faster than you are, um, and then that workout would never be programmed.

00:30:29.537 --> 00:30:37.141
The burpee box jump overs would be 30 inches or 36 inches and the handstand pushups would be deficit or higher rep.

00:30:37.141 --> 00:30:48.607
Obviously, the squat clean would be so heavy, um, obviously the squat clean would be so heavy, um, but it looks similar to how you feel when you're doing a totally different workout.

00:30:48.607 --> 00:30:52.983
So people watch it and they see people rest, especially people that don't understand the sport and they want to know why they're not going faster.

00:30:52.983 --> 00:31:04.145
Like you sit with someone's parents and they're like, pick up the bar and it's like, well, they're in first and they're dying and that thing weighs 300 pounds, like just just let's let's calm down.

00:31:04.467 --> 00:31:05.817
You couldn't so like the.

00:31:05.817 --> 00:31:10.446
The workouts that are being done at the highest level aren't even possible for general population.

00:31:10.467 --> 00:31:10.968
They can't do them.

00:31:11.234 --> 00:31:13.604
They can't like not, you can't even jump on that damn box.

00:31:13.604 --> 00:31:26.373
Um, this workout is fun because twice as long as Colton is the fittest person in your affiliate.

00:31:26.373 --> 00:31:28.455
It's the same exact thing.

00:31:28.455 --> 00:31:31.442
Yeah, that's when you can start to wrap your mind around.

00:31:31.442 --> 00:31:40.806
You watch the different things and it's like okay, um, I don't know how many people went on broken on this workout and had decent transitions maybe 10, something like.

00:31:40.806 --> 00:31:41.347
That's not many.

00:31:41.347 --> 00:31:47.326
Um, because an unbroken version of this workout's like four to four and a half minutes long and go to the leaderboard.

00:31:47.326 --> 00:31:48.957
It's not not many of them there.

00:31:48.957 --> 00:31:51.402
So then it's okay.

00:31:51.803 --> 00:31:53.747
The next thing's probably the bar muscle ups.

00:31:53.747 --> 00:31:56.881
Probably two sets on the bar muscle ups starts to happen.

00:31:56.881 --> 00:32:01.455
Some people push the bar muscle ups on the men's side and then drop the barbell, that sort of thing.

00:32:01.455 --> 00:32:19.249
But you just start to see it's one extra set here, it's one little longer transition here, and you can add 30 seconds to the workout, and then it's like well, I broke the workout out four times, so then you can start to add to it and I just think there's something really cool about the like.

00:32:19.249 --> 00:32:22.932
It's like kind of accessible, but not really.

00:32:22.932 --> 00:32:24.476
Yeah, you know what I mean.

00:32:24.476 --> 00:32:37.940
Um, that gives you an opportunity to see to do this workout, and one of the things that's super fun that I did while I was doing the workout is look at the clock at about four minutes and just be like what yeah, someone's done.

00:32:38.361 --> 00:32:39.041
Someone's done what?

00:32:39.061 --> 00:32:40.243
the's done, what the fuck?

00:32:40.243 --> 00:32:45.096
I'm cruising kid, I'm not even halfway what's going on here.

00:32:45.096 --> 00:32:53.063
So I like those types of workouts every once in a while because it gives context, because, again, when you're watching the fitness, I mean even us as coaches.

00:32:53.063 --> 00:32:54.426
Why aren't they picking that up?

00:32:54.426 --> 00:33:00.104
Well, it's because it weighs a lot and they've done a lot of work and their heart rate's at 185.

00:33:00.104 --> 00:33:02.868
That's why that it like weighs a lot and they've done a lot of work and their heart rate's at 185.

00:33:02.888 --> 00:33:03.770
That's why, that's the exact reason why yeah.

00:33:03.770 --> 00:33:04.772
But it's hard when you don't feel those things.

00:33:04.772 --> 00:33:08.837
Three and a half minutes ahead of you, like Uh-huh, like you were resting too, you're just, they're just.

00:33:08.837 --> 00:33:12.786
They're just 5,000 more horsepower into the workout than you are.

00:33:12.786 --> 00:33:14.108
You know, it's like yeah.

00:33:14.795 --> 00:33:27.304
For no, definitely, I'm glad that it was, I'm glad that we are.

00:33:27.304 --> 00:33:33.884
I feel like we've gone getting past the point of always having a thruster pull-up finale.

00:33:33.884 --> 00:33:35.809
Uh, I think it would be.

00:33:35.809 --> 00:33:36.451
I'd be.

00:33:36.451 --> 00:33:49.559
I'm I'm very curious to know what this, what this last workout is, and, if it's something that's I don't, when's the last time we had like a long workout to finish, and will we have something longer than you know?

00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:54.031
15 minutes maybe not, but um, you know we, you know we don't.

00:33:54.031 --> 00:33:55.555
We don't usually have that workout.

00:33:55.555 --> 00:33:58.881
It's usually like a lot of competitions, kind of a sprint to the finish.

00:33:59.134 --> 00:34:00.558
The partition has needed a final.

00:34:00.558 --> 00:34:03.046
I don't remember, and also.

00:34:09.235 --> 00:34:09.576
I and also.

00:34:09.576 --> 00:34:10.498
I think that was the first one.

00:34:10.518 --> 00:34:12.262
I think that was 2019.

00:34:12.282 --> 00:34:13.786
I think it was the first or the second, I don't 19.

00:34:13.826 --> 00:34:17.655
Oh, maybe the, maybe the leaked workout is partition as needed.

00:34:17.655 --> 00:34:20.422
That would make that.

00:34:20.422 --> 00:34:29.121
That would make way more sense yeah, that would be fun although it would be really rude to do a partition as needed on the rower, Although that's what they did last time, isn't it?

00:34:30.376 --> 00:34:32.067
I'm trying to find that you have to do math.

00:34:32.891 --> 00:34:33.394
It's very annoying.

00:34:33.514 --> 00:34:36.422
I mean it was Everything was partition as needed, right?

00:34:36.422 --> 00:34:40.818
When was that fucking workout?

00:34:42.961 --> 00:34:43.884
19, 20?

00:34:43.884 --> 00:34:43.884
.

00:34:44.364 --> 00:34:45.085
Sometime around then.

00:34:45.106 --> 00:34:45.728
That's what I was looking.

00:34:45.768 --> 00:34:54.242
It's not no 1920, sometime around then I was looking.

00:34:54.262 --> 00:34:56.429
It's not no 18th kid type in crossfit, open workouts and go to what is it?

00:34:56.429 --> 00:34:57.112
Wadwell, wad, something I'm I'm.

00:34:57.112 --> 00:34:57.532
I hate that website.

00:34:57.532 --> 00:34:58.114
I don't, I refuse to use it.

00:34:58.615 --> 00:35:05.103
Well, I know seb, you're gonna have to step in no, I'm gonna do this.

00:35:05.844 --> 00:35:09.809
the slowest and least efficient way possible Was it 2020?

00:35:09.949 --> 00:35:10.309
Going to.

00:35:10.391 --> 00:35:10.951
Wadwell.

00:35:10.951 --> 00:35:14.342
Yeah, see, Seb doesn't even know what the fucking website is.

00:35:14.342 --> 00:35:14.983
Who's going to win?

00:35:15.003 --> 00:35:15.516
this Dude.

00:35:15.516 --> 00:35:23.266
I don't even know what a partition means I have to look that up in the dictionary and I think that means like a separation or whatever that means.

00:35:23.695 --> 00:35:26.521
Yeah, no, it was the final 20.5.

00:35:29.416 --> 00:35:33.664
Yeah, I thought it was the final 20 20.5.

00:35:33.704 --> 00:35:37.092
Yeah, I thought it was the final because everyone was like, how long did that take?

00:35:37.092 --> 00:35:37.552
20 minute time cap.

00:35:37.552 --> 00:35:38.393
So, yeah, yeah, I think the fastest.

00:35:38.514 --> 00:35:45.887
I think the fastest were like in the 12s or something like that it was yeah, I didn't 2020.

00:35:46.847 --> 00:35:47.628
Oh yeah, I found it.

00:35:47.628 --> 00:35:50.373
Yeah, see, Nice job, Seb Partition.

00:35:50.474 --> 00:35:55.119
Partition Pat Bellner was 10 minutes on 1009 for second place.

00:35:55.119 --> 00:35:56.340
Yeah.

00:35:56.860 --> 00:35:58.824
So, 954.

00:35:58.824 --> 00:36:03.449
Not long yeah we'll see.

00:36:03.449 --> 00:36:05.630
I'm intrigued, I do.

00:36:06.614 --> 00:36:06.976
That's right.

00:36:06.976 --> 00:36:09.478
I do just hope that there's an element to it.

00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:17.143
I would not want, I wouldn't want, I don't think I would want a merry-go-round at the end.

00:36:19.121 --> 00:36:23.161
I don't want that some part of it has to be gross.

00:36:23.958 --> 00:36:25.717
I think a chipper makes sense and I do.

00:36:25.717 --> 00:36:37.077
I think the partition is needed, kind of gives you the, the accessibility of a shitty chipper, where you know when it's like it's, it's kind of it's, it just gets.

00:36:37.077 --> 00:36:44.882
I got to imagine, from a programming perspective, you want to like it's, it's like writing class workouts, right, you're limited in a way.

00:36:44.882 --> 00:36:50.003
Limited in a way it's like kind of freeing, where you have to kind of fit workouts inside certain parameters.

00:36:50.003 --> 00:37:05.862
But when you're programming for 200,000 plus people and it's like, well, like I want to challenge some people to do 20 wall walks, 30 wall, all in a big chunk or something like that, but it's like you know how, how accessible is that for most people?

00:37:05.862 --> 00:37:18.960
It's like you give them the partition as needed thing, give some little bit of creativity, a little bit of strategy, and so that would be a fun way to finish, as long as it's the right movements, not rowing muscle-ups and wall balls.

00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:19.965
Those are the wrong movements.

00:37:20.974 --> 00:37:23.403
I think it's rowing wall walks and deadlifts.

00:37:24.416 --> 00:37:30.757
Yeah, see, I can get behind that big time wall walks and deadlifts.

00:37:30.777 --> 00:37:31.619
So yeah, see, I can get behind that big time.

00:37:31.619 --> 00:37:31.860
You know I.

00:37:31.860 --> 00:37:34.088
We need uh, we need a fucking cape crusader in this community.

00:37:34.088 --> 00:37:44.914
If they've been leaking these workouts and you fucking know what they are, you should leak them telling you right, fucking now, that's bullshit.

00:37:44.914 --> 00:37:52.302
So so last year, the camps that knew about Chad it was literally like a fucking skit.

00:37:53.043 --> 00:38:10.682
The camps that knew about Chad if you were in the arena and you fucking listened to the names being announced, it was all the people in the fucking videos that knew what the workout was, knew what the workout was, they knew how to pace it, they knew how to do the step down, up and over all that shit.

00:38:10.682 --> 00:38:17.746
And it's just like listen, we need and, and and I get it like it was very clear that certain I think like mayhem and brute knew what the what, what chad was.

00:38:17.746 --> 00:38:29.329
Um, I can understand keeping it close to the vest, but I guarantee you someone in the media outside of the camps knew and you need to fucking say what it is.

00:38:29.329 --> 00:38:30.898
Everyone deserves to know.

00:38:30.898 --> 00:38:37.458
If you know I'm just putting that out there, like if you know what it is and you weren't.

00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:38.842
I'm not saying obviously you should.

00:38:38.842 --> 00:38:40.025
You should be the leaker.

00:38:40.025 --> 00:38:46.847
But once it is leaked and you know that other athletes know things and it doesn't matter as much at the open level.

00:38:46.847 --> 00:38:49.262
But it doesn't matter, for there's just.

00:38:49.262 --> 00:38:51.795
There are people that it matters for, there are people that care.

00:38:51.795 --> 00:38:53.257
Yeah, well, I mean like.

00:38:53.297 --> 00:38:58.949
I mean it just it reduces the credibility and the integrity of the, the establishment as a whole.

00:38:58.949 --> 00:39:01.262
Right, it's like no, does it ultimately matter?

00:39:01.262 --> 00:39:12.688
Like if games, athletes know what the open workout is like, no, they're still going to shake out the same way, they're not going to get fitter, you know, and for everybody else, it's like it doesn't doesn't really matter, it matters.

00:39:13.048 --> 00:39:37.302
I think it matters massively for, especially for a sport, that's like struggling for lack, you know, outward, like outright just struggling right now, and it's like the you know that that's, that's a whole part of the spiel, right, the unknown, the unknowable, and it's like begs the question of whose, whose nda needs to be enforced and like or you know what, what the fuck that it is?

00:39:38.947 --> 00:39:46.105
yeah, it's, it's uh, not a great look, I think it's yeah there's too many cooks in the kitchen for sure, like I understand why it gets leaked.

00:39:46.105 --> 00:39:52.106
There are testers, there's graphic designers, there's media personnel, people standing in front of the camera.

00:39:52.106 --> 00:39:55.161
All of that stuff has to be done before just kind of is what it is.

00:39:55.161 --> 00:40:06.744
Yeah, like I know, for me personally, when, when the changes started happening again two years ago, I think of like the way that it was all going to work.

00:40:07.545 --> 00:40:13.701
Yeah, just to the structure and everything, um, with how the semifinals are going to be, how many people qualify.

00:40:13.701 --> 00:40:35.170
I think it was the year that I went from 60 to 40, a media personnel who signed an NDA told, called me and told me yeah, but again, I believe that they were, like everyone knows, I'm not telling you something that like 200 people couldn't tell you, like that kind of thing.

00:40:35.170 --> 00:41:13.188
Yeah, basically it was like this is a joke, this is a fucking joke, Like like people know these things already, that sort of deal, so, um, yeah, I just I don't know I'm thinking of and I know that so many people are going to be like this doesn't matter, but we're talking about people near cut lines right now and it was weird, partition as needed, and you had a tester do this for you and you kind of watched and got a feel for it, that sort of thing.

00:41:13.208 --> 00:41:16.358
It's a good chance your first attempt would have more information brought to.

00:41:16.358 --> 00:41:19.143
It could be your best attempt in that situation.

00:41:19.143 --> 00:41:28.505
Um, that sort of deal so like and sometimes there's media released by camps that feels intriguingly quick.

00:41:28.505 --> 00:41:42.541
Yeah, like, like, listen, hey, I don't know what kind of m6000 chip you have, um, but editing and exporting in 17 minutes feels like an interesting amount of time.

00:41:42.541 --> 00:41:45.987
Um, sure, that sort of situation.

00:41:45.987 --> 00:41:47.840
So I got, I got seb shaking his head right now.

00:41:47.880 --> 00:41:51.501
I wanted to throw that little nugget in there for you, seb, why aren't you faster?

00:41:52.222 --> 00:41:54.688
come on guy oh, I just think.

00:41:54.688 --> 00:42:06.445
Uh, I think a 36 minute highly produced video to have been uploaded at 4k on youtube 17 minutes after the open announcement that did that seems a little stuff the standard.

00:42:06.585 --> 00:42:07.896
The standard is the standard.

00:42:07.896 --> 00:42:08.217
Seb.

00:42:08.217 --> 00:42:11.664
I want this bad boy on youtube at 330.

00:42:11.664 --> 00:42:19.903
Fucking polished hunter made me do three 360s while filming last week.

00:42:19.903 --> 00:42:25.701
If I'm gonna have to spin around like that, yeah I'm running around the gym with the gimbal yeah, I move, then you.

00:42:25.721 --> 00:42:28.927
Yeah, I moved 90 degrees twice with that gimbal.

00:42:28.927 --> 00:42:34.315
Have any idea how difficult it is to get rings out of a frame and pay attention to what you're looking at on the camera.

00:42:34.375 --> 00:42:36.121
Yeah, yeah, I do that for a living.

00:42:36.121 --> 00:42:38.016
So I definitely do know, but I didn't know.

00:42:38.016 --> 00:42:40.702
We had Hunter Scorsese up in Maine.

00:42:40.702 --> 00:42:42.365
Yeah, you do.

00:42:42.365 --> 00:42:44.561
Oh my God, don't comment any ideas.

00:42:46.061 --> 00:42:47.389
I might get some confidence.

00:42:47.389 --> 00:42:51.864
I might start, might start directing kyle and kyle and drew around the gym a little bit.

00:42:51.864 --> 00:42:54.820
Give it some, give it some flair he's up.

00:42:54.981 --> 00:42:59.014
He's up on the mezzanine like guys, you don't, it's art, you don't fucking understand.

00:42:59.014 --> 00:43:01.384
Yeah, he's shooting through the ring.

00:43:01.585 --> 00:43:23.320
Give a little perspective yeah, a little perspective gotta like that gotta zoom gotta if I may just say listen, I know people are sponsors and all that stuff, but it's like I know the standard is the standard and all that, but make it a little bit less obvious that you have some perks than anybody else does.

00:43:25.297 --> 00:43:25.438
Wait.

00:43:25.458 --> 00:43:27.077
CrossFit doesn't say, misfit Free.

00:43:27.099 --> 00:43:27.440
Trial.

00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:34.467
Crossfit's not putting out the code for the Misfit Free Trial Fuck Damn.

00:43:34.467 --> 00:43:36.501
All right, all about that speed.

00:43:36.501 --> 00:43:42.585
Is it like how normally we predict the workout here?

00:43:42.585 --> 00:43:47.347
I feel like our judgment is a little clouded because it's supposedly leaked and it's.

00:43:47.347 --> 00:43:52.425
Yeah, I will say maybe a snatch after, maybe I feel like there's a debt.

00:43:52.505 --> 00:43:55.239
I I would have, I would have said a deadlift.

00:43:55.239 --> 00:43:59.032
I thought wall walks would be a good retest with the for the community.

00:43:59.032 --> 00:44:10.157
So I'll take, I'll hang my hat on my deadlift and wall walk, although I yeah, rowing makes sense, I, but, yeah, I think little little clouded judgment at this point.

00:44:10.157 --> 00:44:11.519
Um, yeah, I like.

00:44:11.519 --> 00:44:19.184
Yeah, I mean, I like I like the deadlift in a wall walk, whether that was for the second workout or you know, or for any of them.

00:44:19.184 --> 00:44:29.599
I thought I think those are like good community workouts, good or good community movements, like classic crossfit type stuff that everybody should be able to play along with at the affiliate level.

00:44:29.599 --> 00:44:31.264
So I think that that makes sense.

00:44:31.264 --> 00:44:35.019
Not surprising that if that is the case, it's the case.

00:44:35.019 --> 00:44:38.708
But yeah, partition is needed.

00:44:40.096 --> 00:44:41.882
That makes a little bit more sense, and maybe I missed that.

00:44:41.882 --> 00:44:43.125
And whoever posted what it was?

00:44:43.125 --> 00:44:48.786
Someone posted it and it was like you see it seb on instagram.

00:44:48.786 --> 00:44:53.047
By any chance you see someone post the workout, I don't remember how many calorie row.

00:44:53.047 --> 00:44:53.650
It was I.

00:44:53.650 --> 00:44:56.036
I saw 50 wall walks, 100 deadlifts.

00:44:56.036 --> 00:44:59.965
I won 35 um and then there was a calorie row.

00:44:59.985 --> 00:45:10.148
Stop fucking smirking hunter, cut it out come on, three rounds for time got it easy um, all right, we're gonna.

00:45:10.309 --> 00:45:13.139
We're gonna skip ahead here uh live chat.

00:45:13.139 --> 00:45:14.782
What do you boys got?

00:45:14.782 --> 00:45:15.443
What's going on?

00:45:17.106 --> 00:45:26.728
yeah, standby, I'll give you the update here uh taylormadecom.

00:45:27.168 --> 00:45:31.235
Log in While Hunter is looking up his golf Situation.

00:45:32.860 --> 00:45:34.666
I found the link that you were talking about.

00:45:34.666 --> 00:45:40.731
Sorry yeah, it was 50 cow row, 50 deads at 225 For men 155.

00:45:40.751 --> 00:45:41.215
Even better.

00:45:41.396 --> 00:45:46.280
For women 50 cow row With 25 wall walks For a 10 minute cap.

00:45:46.280 --> 00:45:47.338
Hold on, I thought that's a different leak, can?

00:45:47.358 --> 00:45:49.202
you say that again 50 Cal row with 25 wall walks for a 10 minute cap Hold on.

00:45:49.202 --> 00:45:51.027
I thought that's a different leak.

00:45:51.027 --> 00:45:51.730
Can you say that again?

00:45:56.306 --> 00:45:56.608
10 minutes.

00:45:56.608 --> 00:46:00.231
I got this from Reddit so it might not be accurate, but that was the quickest thing I've done Jesus Christ.

00:46:00.534 --> 00:46:01.920
The cesspool of the internet.

00:46:04.317 --> 00:46:05.181
They know what's up though.

00:46:05.181 --> 00:46:11.068
All right, 50 Cal row row, 50 deadlifts.

00:46:11.068 --> 00:46:16.543
Oh, I get it okay, so that makes that makes more sense now 25 while walk.

00:46:18.847 --> 00:46:20.733
Yeah, there's nothing about that workout.

00:46:20.773 --> 00:46:31.990
I'm not into if we could change the order so that I could, um, um, pass Peggy and James on the leaderboard, that would be awesome, Although that's that's.

00:46:31.990 --> 00:46:34.023
That's given me a little bit too much credit.

00:46:34.023 --> 00:46:38.085
I need a lot of wall walks in there for those to to make that happen.

00:46:38.085 --> 00:46:42.840
Um, okay, so anyway back to what's important.

00:46:43.382 --> 00:46:44.938
Um, we have packed.

00:46:44.938 --> 00:46:49.496
Your custom product is where my, my two iron is currently sitting.

00:46:49.496 --> 00:46:51.820
So, okay, I was gonna say we settled on the two.

00:46:51.820 --> 00:46:54.726
Yeah, we settled on the two and we went with.

00:46:54.726 --> 00:46:57.001
Uh, got over myself a little bit.

00:46:57.101 --> 00:47:03.378
She's a little chunky, uh most driving irons are meant to be that hybrid-y it's.

00:47:03.659 --> 00:47:04.760
Uh, yeah, I mean it's.

00:47:04.760 --> 00:47:10.750
It's called the driving hybrid, basically the pdhy is what it's called.

00:47:10.769 --> 00:47:18.141
So you know it's gonna make your golf game better, but someone's gonna talk shit on the t-box it's, it's well, I mean, it's a, it's very much an iron.

00:47:18.260 --> 00:47:33.286
It's just a little bit like, given, given the two options that taylormade has, which one is a little bit thinner and I would say like more appealing to the eye um is probably just not like for the purposes that I want to use it for.

00:47:33.286 --> 00:47:42.077
I check the ego a little bit and I'm happy to use something that's a little bit chunkier for for the people could control that fucking thing.

00:47:42.117 --> 00:47:45.443
It would be in a lot more bags, yeah, like a flat two iron.

00:47:45.724 --> 00:47:53.246
Yeah, and I heard scotty shuffler likes to likes to see a little bit of meat behind, uh, but on the back side of his driving iron.

00:47:53.286 --> 00:48:00.677
So if it's good enough scotty like to see a little meat, I get it yeah yeah, and I mean he and I are, I don't know, comparable.

00:48:00.717 --> 00:48:21.201
I'd say in yeah, potato, potato, potato, tomato, right, so yeah yeah, that's that's more accurate yeah, potato tomato yeah, so we're, uh, we're looking at that to arrive, I mean, hopefully after course is open, mostly just because I'm very hopeful that we're not that far away.

00:48:21.201 --> 00:48:26.288
But uh, there is still some snow on the ground, which is displeasing to me.

00:48:26.288 --> 00:48:27.670
But here we are.

00:48:27.815 --> 00:48:35.126
Yeah, here we are, so I know people tune into this to hear me talk about sports.

00:48:36.047 --> 00:48:57.681
For the most part I got to give the salute to my boy, marshy Brad Marshan, nose face killer, the greatest rat in Boston sportsoston sports history, I'd say you've seen some of the memes of like brad marshall meeting his new team and it's like the ratatouille, like looking up at all the other, like rats, like oh my gosh.

00:48:58.001 --> 00:49:03.382
It's like there's a lot of the fact that the fact that because isn't that the place where they throw the rats on the ice?

00:49:04.043 --> 00:49:11.246
the idea that the idea that matt kachuk and brad marshall are on a team where they throw rats on the ice the idea that the idea that matt kachuk and brad marshall are on a team where they throw rats on the ice is kind of beautiful.

00:49:11.246 --> 00:49:16.318
Um, but as of the last few years, fuck the florida panthers, not a fan.

00:49:16.318 --> 00:49:19.945
So, like true bruin legend.

00:49:19.945 --> 00:49:29.483
Um, go back and watch yourself some some game seven against vancouver if you want to see what kind of fucking legend this guy is kissing the guys on the other team.

00:49:29.483 --> 00:49:31.846
Um, that was that year, I believe.

00:49:31.846 --> 00:49:36.777
Um, just just the, the fucking man.

00:49:36.777 --> 00:49:37.378
So that was.

00:49:37.378 --> 00:49:38.503
That was a massive bummer.

00:49:38.503 --> 00:49:40.358
I don't know what the hell is going on with the bruins.

00:49:40.358 --> 00:49:41.885
They had one of the best coaches in hockey.

00:49:41.885 --> 00:49:43.572
They fired him mid-season.

00:49:43.592 --> 00:49:48.775
They traded a bunch of people away they gotta be just going head first into the rebuild.

00:49:49.157 --> 00:49:54.775
They traded yeah, you, just when you got a guy like pasta, it's like can we, can we, can we be quicker with this?

00:49:54.775 --> 00:50:03.097
Um, yeah, that's kind of my, my segue to what's his contract um, we got we signed a huge contract.

00:50:03.097 --> 00:50:05.684
Yeah, we got three, maybe three, four more years with him.

00:50:06.045 --> 00:50:25.521
I don't see them letting him go, but my yes that's fucking such a fucking troll oh, so good, it's so good because everybody who is his teammate says he's like the best teammate ever.

00:50:25.521 --> 00:50:27.179
Everybody who plays against him even in like interviews and stuff you can really teammate, says he's like the best teammate ever.

00:50:27.123 --> 00:50:34.418
Everybody who plays against him, like even in, like interviews and stuff, like you can really tell that he's just and you can understand that too.

00:50:34.418 --> 00:50:51.983
Like I was listening to a an interview with brady kachuk and they were like how how are you, this guy and that guy and he's like I don't know, like, like, apparently he's like absurdly polite and super nice and like a great dad and a great teammate.

00:50:51.983 --> 00:51:04.699
And then he gets out on the ice and he just wants to punch people in the face and like he's like I don't, he's like I don't even really know, I don't notice it when it happens, but I'm not the same human being on the ice, I mean his dad's, keith kachuk.

00:51:04.699 --> 00:51:09.235
So that lends a little bit of an idea into how that could be possible.

00:51:09.235 --> 00:51:16.327
But um, that's my segue into not wasting and ruining tj watts career.

00:51:16.327 --> 00:51:19.538
Um steelers traded for dk metcalf hunter.

00:51:19.538 --> 00:51:21.420
Not sure if you know who dk metcalf is.

00:51:21.420 --> 00:51:24.927
Uh, very good, wide receiver.

00:51:24.947 --> 00:51:26.949
Is he the one we were?

00:51:26.969 --> 00:51:29.699
seeing, just he's.

00:51:29.699 --> 00:51:30.342
He's a bet.

00:51:30.342 --> 00:51:32.025
He's an NFL vet, right, he's not?

00:51:32.025 --> 00:51:34.480
Yes, like a recent draft pick, okay.

00:51:34.621 --> 00:51:36.025
Yeah, yeah, he was.

00:51:36.025 --> 00:51:43.105
He was, um, probably at his best when Russell Wilson was at his best.

00:51:43.105 --> 00:51:43.896
Is he the one?

00:51:43.916 --> 00:51:47.186
Sherb tried to chase down in the airport when we were on our way to the games.

00:51:47.186 --> 00:51:49.541
One year we like walk past him.

00:51:49.541 --> 00:51:52.219
I don't think so.

00:51:52.219 --> 00:51:53.224
Remember who I'm talking about.

00:51:53.224 --> 00:51:55.121
We walked past somebody in.

00:51:57.856 --> 00:52:01.500
Oh, detroit, we saw James, we saw James, harrison, james.

00:52:01.539 --> 00:52:04.699
Harrison Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, walk past him.

00:52:04.699 --> 00:52:05.601
One of my favorite.

00:52:05.702 --> 00:52:05.822
Yeah.

00:52:09.275 --> 00:52:12.041
He was going into the lounge, so DK got traded to the Steelers Fantastic.

00:52:12.041 --> 00:52:21.235
What is hilarious is potentially the two most volatile personality wide receivers in the NFL are now on the same team, so that's partially scary.

00:52:21.235 --> 00:52:26.686
I don't know if Pickens and Metcalf will get ejected in the same game this year.

00:52:26.686 --> 00:52:30.215
Dickens and Metcalf will get ejected in the same game this year.

00:52:30.215 --> 00:52:44.139
There are rumors that the Aaron Rodgers to Pittsburgh deal is basically done and that he gets released officially on Wednesday by the Jets and then they can sign him.

00:52:44.139 --> 00:52:49.742
But as far as I can tell, because Darnold's off the board, we are down to Aaron Rogers or Russell Wilson.

00:52:49.742 --> 00:52:52.659
Um, Aaron Rogers 41 years old.

00:52:52.659 --> 00:52:59.402
Russell Wilson plays like he's 51 years old Um, so I'm real excited about this.

00:52:59.402 --> 00:53:07.123
Also marginally confusing, their offensive coordinator basically just wants to run the ball as much as possible.

00:53:07.123 --> 00:53:11.726
Um likes to have a running QB, but Justin Fields signed with the Jets.

00:53:11.726 --> 00:53:15.614
So I guess all I'm saying is football is bad, Are?

00:53:15.635 --> 00:53:19.280
we excited for Aaron Rodgers as a Steelers fan, or are we just like?

00:53:19.280 --> 00:53:21.494
This guy is 41 years old.

00:53:21.675 --> 00:53:28.335
I think that it should be mandatory that they do hard knocks if Aaron Rodgers, george Pick pickens and dk mccaff are all on the same team.

00:53:28.335 --> 00:53:35.398
Like, if you're gonna make me go through that, I want access, I want to get in the room, I want to see whatever the fuck is going on.

00:53:35.398 --> 00:53:47.340
Um, I'll end my sports rant by saying the steelers had ben rothlisberger, levion bell and antonio brown on the same team and at the time we didn't know there wasn't as much media, there wasn't as much social media.

00:53:47.340 --> 00:53:54.940
This could be as volatile as that, which is saying something um, that was, that was a fucking room of people.

00:53:54.940 --> 00:53:57.244
Um, so I don't know.

00:53:57.244 --> 00:54:05.958
I guess Mike Tomlin's up for the challenge and he just basically goes one or two games over 500 and loses the first game of the playoffs every year.

00:54:05.958 --> 00:54:09.978
So let's do that again and have it be more entertaining.

00:54:10.862 --> 00:54:14.974
Yeah, fair enough it's kind of exciting, though.

00:54:14.974 --> 00:54:26.471
If you get rogers and you have pickens and metcalf, you can throw the deep ball all game and you know two of those guys are ready to catch it at any time so yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:54:26.492 --> 00:54:35.905
I mean a lot of people are saying this is the ideal situation for Russ because he likes to launch the ball up in the air, but he's ah, the experiment just hurt a little bit.

00:54:35.905 --> 00:54:37.902
He's not a stealer.

00:54:37.902 --> 00:54:43.262
Aaron Rodgers, on the other hand, the whole rumor is that he's like I'm going to keep talking about sports.

00:54:43.262 --> 00:54:53.773
You guys, we'll see you next week if you want to leave, um, the rumor is that the second later after the achilles tear is where you really bounce back.

00:54:53.773 --> 00:54:54.835
First year's kind of tough.

00:54:54.835 --> 00:54:59.635
He did look decent towards the end of the season, but like the games didn't matter and no one fucking cared.

00:54:59.635 --> 00:55:06.824
I will say that his ego is close to unmatched and everyone thinks he sucks.

00:55:06.824 --> 00:55:21.621
And I think he wants to just come back and be like still got it and then leave, is my guess, um, but he better have a damn good offensive line if he's going to do that, because he can't fucking move anymore.
