Good morning, misfits. You are tuning into another episode of the Misfit Podcast. Every Tuesday during the open, we will join you for a recap podcast. So today is the 25.1 recap podcast. Shout out to all of the Misfits, misfit affiliate athletes, misfit competitors, all the people that threw down on this workout. She was a bit of a doozy. I think everyone would agree. They had their own version of getting into a fight with 25.1.
Speaker 2:Before we get started, we'll do a little bit of housekeeping. Then we're going to do the leaderboards, give away some stuff. Should be a fun episode. 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%. 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. 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.
Speaker 2:If you are a new misfit or you aren't following the programming. Right now you can buy that as a standalone program in our storefront on Fitter. So you can purchase that as a standalone program, choose your start date and then it just. You know, you're kind of off to the races there. I will say if you are a new misfit, make sure you are in the discord, discordgg forward slash misfit athletics. Yes, that link actually does work again For anybody that's been, that's been trying to get into the discord. Fix that yesterday. So make sure that you're there so that you can ask questions. 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.
Speaker 2:Um, off season block one starts on march 24th. Monday march 24th we'll have kind of that final sort of week of the open, but not really. Monday march 17th is um, kind of that last day that you can do things. We're not going to start you on a new program that week. Um, and that's when we get into the off-season stuff where you can do the strength bias, conditioning bias. Then, um, our very first we will explain in the podcast our very first named um. 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. Now you'll see the to click all that stuff.
Speaker 2:Um, all right, let's do leaderboards. 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. If you type in misfit athlete um, that's going to add you to our competition leaderboard. And then if you type in misfit affiliate um I, that's going to add you to our competition leaderboard. 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. 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. 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. Um, so make sure you go in and add those.
Speaker 2:Um, and basically, what we do is we read the top 10, um, give some shout outs, give away some free shit. Um, all right, let's, let's do it. Hunter, I'm going to need you to pull up a random number generator from 1 to 10. Can you handle that for me? I should have made Seb do it. Honestly, you're the talent here. Seb's supposed to be doing the producing, but alright, so ladies, first Elena Pomerisi 303 reps breaking the 300 rep mark. Gotta love that at a CrossFit raid. And then we go. 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.
Speaker 2:I think I got that name right this year. Ooh, got a little action going on on my camera and then I had to give a shout out one rep away. Misfit Gym Portland. Rachel Rogers Again, that's just fucking cool. Got a competition dashboard of a bunch of people who throw down and she came in at 262 reps. People who throw down and she came in at 262 reps. Hunter, please give me Hunter or Seb. Someone give me a number between 1 and 10. Seven, do it again. That is a sponsored athlete who gets the stuff for free. Lindsey Hoffman, come on down. Og Misfit been following for a long time. Lindsey, please email me, coach, at misfit athletics dot com. 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. 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.
Speaker 2:Brandon, true, breaking the 300 rep mark. Brandon's a remote client, brandon um would like you to give him a very heavy barbell um for him to shine. And we've done a lot of fucking work this off season. 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. Um, so big shout out there and on we go. 20 reps or so, something along those lines. So big shout out there and on we go. Steven Milanese, taylor Sanders, austin Spencer, from the top rope with 282 reps, austin does not follow competitive programming. Austin is in the fire academy, austin loves burpees. 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. Congratulations, hunter.
Speaker 3:I did just generate randomly number 10. Of course you did. I'll send you an email.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you send me an email, give me the shirts back I put in your office yesterday. I'm going to need another one. That's another Paolo Frito. Oh, this is good, this is really good.
Speaker 2: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. 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. Once it gets there, we'll be free. Otherwise, I'll pay for the shipping, the clothing, whatever. I'm glad that that happens. So, coach at misfitathleticscom, your address, any tips on subverting the government and your sizes, please? Thank you so much. 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.
Speaker 2:Let's go top 10 for Misfit Gym Portland here. Um, let's go top 10 for. 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. That is the top 10, um at Misfit Jim Portland. Shout out there and I feel like I should do another giveaway here for the for the gang, for the number eight Nick Whitaker. Nick is a.
Speaker 2:Nick is an Nick is an avid sharpen the ax, cocom, uh kind of guy. So giving him some free shit is is good, nick. Um, one person on this podcast is going to remember to give you some free shit.
Speaker 1:I will.
Speaker 2:Okay, Thanks, Seb Whitaker. All right, Recap time Hunter 25.1. Give us what you got. What'd you think of it? Programmer, affiliate coach athlete.
Speaker 3:What do you think? I think it was the right move to make it as widely as accessible as it was. 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. 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. 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.
Speaker 2:I dare him to do it for 15 full minutes.
Speaker 3:Those kids need it to keep them from climbing the ceiling. But yeah, I mean it's a good idea, good opening workout. Um, I don't think, I don't feel like there's a whole lot to say about. It's about as straightforward as you get, yeah I mean they do.
Speaker 2:so we alluded to it last week in the the preview podcast. It was going to be 15 minutes long. 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. 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. 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. And both of those things were basically true.
Speaker 2:Uh, this was, um, I think the. 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. 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. 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. That became an issue for sure, um, so I don't know if it was a couple of trips.
Speaker 2:I kind of felt like I felt like it was a little.
Speaker 3:For most people it was, or I mean at the affiliate level. 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. We didn't want to duplicate 24.1.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, they or they didn't.
Speaker 3:They didn't want to replicate that so closely to 24.1. 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. That hang clean and jerk.
Speaker 3: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. 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. But I think it was a good test in the sense that it was highly accessible. It did force you to. 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.
Speaker 3: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. That's gonna separate some folks. But, um, they they definitely with. 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.
Speaker 3:Like you've already isolated a lot of people. Like, if you're going to program something that does that further, you're barking up the wrong tree.
Speaker 2: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. There's a lot of fucking reps. It's like, is that necessary? But then there's a part of me and this comes from.
Speaker 2: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. 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. 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. 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. This guy thinks he didn't do me dirty in this photo here. 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
Speaker 1:look at my face seb yeah, but here's the thing. Like this is the part. Like this picture isn't taking on your first rep.
Speaker 3:This is the part like this picture isn't taking on your first rep. This is like when you're past rep like 150. Get you back in the L1.
Speaker 1:I just think like if anyone looks dirty as Hunter who's biting his lips staring at you, do this workout.
Speaker 2:Yeah yeah, he looks hungry. I'm not going to lie. Look at that fucking meat locker back there. You didn't see it.
Speaker 3:That's why Drew's muting his hip so bad.
Speaker 2:He's. That's why drew's muting his hip so bad he's hiding it. He's hiding it from daddy. I have never muted my hip in a single movement in my life.
Speaker 3:You've never used your hip in a single movement.
Speaker 2: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. 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. 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. Like, like, in a perfect world I would be an affiliate. 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. 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. And I love that kind of reminder of like, yeah, you, you do, you still do mixed modality. You jump into class when it's appropriate, but maybe you're not doing CrossFit. So that was a nice. That was a nice little reminder. There was a nice little reminder there.
Speaker 2:Um, heart rate essentially, my garment looked like a red brick? Um, just 178, it's just a straight line. I think if I had a chest strap on it would have been even more ridiculous. 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. I was probably given it somewhere between 80 and 90%, making sure I didn't hurt myself. Um, so for that to be the the outcome, um, nice little nod to the old, to the old, fucking. Constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity.
Speaker 3:I did. 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. 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. And it's like I understand like, hey, this is what a hang clean and jerk is. You establish the. This is what a hang power clean is. It's not a power clean off the floor with with a barbell like that's obvious. 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. It's just like here's the rule. 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. Like and it's like, just don't step over the dumbbell, do it mostly good. And again like if everybody's playing by the same kind of the is. 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. Like we're making this. We're making this a lot harder than it has to be. An obvious, simple workout, but like I'm hopeful that they like future movements that they do in the open. They really simplify as far as like yep, clean and jerk the first rep who gives a shit. And if you break it up, well, now there's a longer range of motion that you have to take the dumbbell. It's like there's no advantage to it. And instead of yelling at the affiliate athletes like establish the hang first. It's like no, it doesn't, that doesn't matter. So, uh, like super little things like that.
Speaker 3:I think it also just makes it a lot fucking easier for coaches to like brief standards to athletes. Um, I also liked how they included in the standards packet. Like this is these are common, no reps. It's like, as opposed to like do this, do that, do that. 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. It's a hang clean and jerk Got it, yanks it off the floor, and the first like you, stupid motherfucker. It's like okay, let's. Well, now let's right, it's, we're gonna. We're gonna play it down to the, the lowest common denominator. 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.
Speaker 2:Yeah for sure. 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.
Speaker 2:Right, yes Like like we can accomplish what we're trying to accomplish without doing this to these workouts, right, yeah? And then I don't know, how do you feel about the? 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. 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. Um, it's just interesting.
Speaker 2:I'm not sure how I feel about the like you don't need a video anymore, kind of side of it. Um, I will say that I really just don't. 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. There's no fucking way that that happened yeah, I mean, I think there's pros and cons.
Speaker 3: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?
Speaker 3: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. I think the competition takes care of itself in that regard. 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. 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. 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.
Speaker 3: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. And there's just no like there. It's just it's either ego or pride. There's no tangible thing that somebody is is fighting for. 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. But I don't even think that, like workout, I didn't have to validate any scores. They automatically validate. Like I I've. 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. So I'm not sure Weird, yeah, very strange.
Speaker 2:I didn't know that was a thing. How would you categorize this workout? This is cardio Cardio. Yeah, so we're probably it's weird, like I feel. 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.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think you'll see a better merry-go-round in the online semifinals, but I think that's what you got. I mean, it could be like 15 minutes there's how long was 24.1 seven and a half eight minutes for the best.
Speaker 2:So it was a pro.
Speaker 3:It was much more appropriate for then it to be the 20 minute the 20 minute AMRAP afterwards. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2:So that's. It's interesting. I'm not. I'm not entirely sure what direction we're headed now, cause you kind of assume we're going to. We're going to really get into the gas tank work in 25.3, that's typically. We save your, your, you know, long range of motion, dynamic type movements, um, and could potentially be a redo. 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.
Speaker 3:Um, I, I'm not sold on it based on their just oh, oh the the for time.
Speaker 2:The first one yeah, um, I'm not sold on.
Speaker 3: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. So right, yeah um.
Speaker 2:So yeah, it's interesting. We've obviously got our deadlift left. You could say that we have our power snatch. We'll see. Obviously that's a, that's an adjacent movement. You've got your thruster. 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. That sort of thing. 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. So it'll be interesting to see. I don't think that there's like a clear path into what 25.2 is going to be.
Speaker 3:Um, we've got our pulling gymnastics and rowing today's uh, yeah, I could see something like that. 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. Um, so be very surprised to see a cap workout uh on tuesday be replicated on thursday.
Speaker 2:So I don't ever see cap, but I do have to give a shout out to the dot-com. Workouts have been pretty fucking good lately. There have been some bangers in there. Yeah, there was a. There have been some stretches of some. No offense to whoever wrote it, but questionable I'll offend, I'll offend every single guest programmer. Whoever fucking wrote a week of dot-com programming, um, but it's been good. I don't know if you, if you, pay attention to that, if you, yeah, no, I open, I open that email every day.
Speaker 3: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.
Speaker 2:I call it a swirl.
Speaker 3:Um yeah, yeah well I, I see a squat. I see a squat of some capacity. Maybe it could also be like uh, you might, maybe you get your lift, but I don't know. 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. 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.
Speaker 2:But what was the? This is good at mind. It's a dumbbell. Thruster totobar. What year was that one that?
Speaker 1:19, I think absurd merry-go-round.
Speaker 2:It was like in one rep of everything yeah, it was four, four, six, twenty four.
Speaker 2:I had always I felt like there was two. 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. 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. Can we get, like you know, a 12 to 15 rep thruster? Or you know, depending on the weight, what it is? You know it could be 75, 55, or you could go a little bit lower, like things like that. 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. Continue to do it all right.
Speaker 2:So during these podcasts um, I intentionally did not do life chat at the beginning. 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. So we're going to put a live chat at the end here. I'm going to put you, gentlemen, on the spot. What do we got for live chat boys. What's going on?
Speaker 3:got fucking jabronis cross-country skiing out here on the first, second, first and second fairway of riverside golf course. Despite uh golf season rapidly approaching, nobody appears to be clearing off the snow from these fairways, which is uh frustrating. So maybe I'll send a email to janet mills, but uh, that's the least hit up your.
Speaker 3:Congresswoman yeah, Hit up your Congresswoman, Make sure we get those fairways cleared for golf season. Um, but yeah, I mean I am. I'm just very, very close to pulling the trigger on a driving iron. I told you about this. Um, I'm really trying to figure out exactly which one I need.
Speaker 2:Um, get that old school. Have you seen the video, the john daly video, where they made him the one iron or is a zero. It's either a zero or a one. Yeah probably a zero or a one, no I haven't they like literally made this club specifically for him?
Speaker 2: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. 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. Um, but like it was a big deal when it happened because all the other people were like what the fuck is that thing?
Speaker 2:like flat face like. So I'm a, I'm a proponent. I haven't again. 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.
Speaker 3:Um, that, like some of the reviews on taylormade, it's like I am the alpha. 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. So I'm uh, yeah.
Speaker 2:On the fence when you out drive someone with an iron. It's nice.
Speaker 3:I can tell you that it is a nice feeling. Yeah, it's a nice nice driver there, huh. Yeah, but might suit my actual what I want to use it for, or maybe something a little bit sleeker. So yeah, I'll keep the people updated. I know you guys are really concerned about what's in the bag.
Speaker 2:There are seven people that want to know. Hunter, you got to keep them going.
Speaker 3:There are no fewer than seven people who can't wait for me to stop talking about golf.
Speaker 2:True, yeah, you got both. We got to give the people what they need.
Speaker 3:Yeah, give the people what they need, not necessarily what they want.
Speaker 2:Eb. What's good Sorry.
Speaker 1: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.
Speaker 1:There's just a whole bunch of YouTube videos like people trying to remake. Were remake like were either of you alive? Yeah, I'm trying to find the john daly one. I, I was alive. I was five um live chat. Uh, yeah, my, uh, abysmal performance in the 25.1 workout. Uh, giveni don't do any cardio and I probably haven't done a workout like that since last year at 24.1. But I had Mexican food around 4.30 and I went and did the workout. I think it was an hour after.
Speaker 3:Did you warm up Seb?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was actually. Yeah, I did.
Speaker 3: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. I was like did you not warm up for 25.1?
Speaker 1:Toast to bar were good, though Can we at least give me that.
Speaker 3:Have you done a beginner's class?
Speaker 1:Have you ever taken an on-ramp class? No, I nearly believed it out there. He knew the answer to that question.
Speaker 3: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. But it wasn't. It was on the, it was on the beginner end of the spectrum. And then after, to be honest, watching you do your bent arm toes to bar um, I was like I don't Say what.
Speaker 1:Torn labrum baby. Yeah, seth, so I do you can't straighten it out? You guys know that.
Speaker 3:Yeah well, so that's what led me to wonder. We got to bring you back up here and take you through an on-ramp class to get you moving good guy.
Speaker 1:You guys didn't hear those. Sid used a word to get me to do that workout that I will not repeat on this podcast.
Speaker 2:But was it pussy she did.
Speaker 1:She's like you're being a big one. I was like oh, I was like all right, but yes, no, torn labrum Very limited.
Speaker 2:Can I get that clip, seb Just Hunter saying those three words yeah, yeah, I'm going to need that clipped.
Speaker 3:All right, yeah, yeah, don't tear the labrum, but no dude, it's torn.
Speaker 1:I just work around it. So I just do bent arm toaster bar.
Speaker 2:You're going to tear it again. If you don't bend your arm or if you're straight in your arm, I'm just going to throw that out there. You're not helping the situation.
Speaker 1:Listen, I'm just being honest. I never claimed to be an athlete. You guys know that. I was just trying to do my best out there.
Speaker 2:Uh, there is a test group going on currently. Um, we are on day two of the new misfit GPP program test group. Uh, Seb, I believe you have access to both the spreadsheet and the program on fitter.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying just throwing it out there. Hey there, hey, I I'm I'm gonna take advantage of that and I'm I'm gonna hell. Yeah, I'm gonna get better one day at a time.
Speaker 3:I gotta work on my mobility that was not a dig at you, seb, that was actually a genuine question?
Speaker 1:no for sure, not at all. I mean, listen, it's the truth. Wait we, we gotta I can handle the truth. Wait we gotta I can handle the truth all right, um.
Speaker 2:So we I don't remember how many podcasts ago we did the like the tips on the, the remote coaching. You guys remember tips and tricks and I talked about what I've been doing on the bike basically go in a rotation of aerobic, build power output, just fucking on repeat bunch of zone, two sessions in between when my hrv goes down, um, so I've been putting in a lot of meters on the bike and I've been dreading a power output session on the C2 bike. I hate it. I just if I truly so, this was what I would call P2, so they're 20-second sprints. If I send it, then I can't walk, I can't bike again, I can't do fucking anything. It's horrendous, horrendous, um, and I am probably 30 sessions in on the bike in the last, like month and a half, two months, something like that. So pretty decent amount of time, um, and again dreading it. So when I do power output work I have to go negative splits, which seems weird, right, like typically you, just you fucking let her rip and see what happens. Um, the like changes in terms of of musculature and metabolic, like like absolutely night and day, just from month and a half. And the funny thing is you think about. I'm doing zone two, which actually for me, in a lot of instances is zone one. Um, and I'm not letting myself, I'm doing negative splits in my aerobic work, so I'm kind of zone three, zone four, a lot in there. So I'm essentially going slower than I normally would in almost all of these workouts and it's made the biggest change in my power output work that I've like ever seen. Um, it's basically just like a repeatability thing. Um, and these numbers aren't crazy because I like underestimated myself, but I went 121, 120, 118, 114 for my splits and like, honestly, the first three rounds were like easy, like I considered adding rounds to it and I was doing every four minutes, so it was 20 seconds on 340 off the 340 off. I stay on the bike at a one damper and kind of pedal.
Speaker 2:So if you are a power athlete and you struggle with the repeatability because you can go bury yourself, the answer isn't I need more back squats, I need more power output work. I need to be able to continue to drive my max wattage up. It is I need to be able to clear waste and be more efficient in my muscles, in my heart, delivering oxygen, delivering blood, all of that stuff, and these are things that we always know theoretically as coaches, programmers, athletes, all that good stuff. But when it happens in real time because when you are in the athlete mind, you have your biases that you bring to the table within all of this stuff I had like a, like an Instagram post queued up where I was going to do the Michael Scott no, no, no, no about Toby. And I couldn't. I, once I was done, I couldn't put it up because it wasn't really that fucking bad. Um, yeah, it just I. It was gonna be fake if I did it.
Speaker 2:Normally, I go down into the basement and start ripping on that bad boy, uh, and my day is ruined. So, um, the next time I do a p1, p2 or p3 session, I will send it from the beginning and I will revert back to complaining um, and we'll, we'll find our happy medium. But I was pretty stoked to be able to like like 114, 96 rpms at a you know eight or nine damper 114 average for 20 seconds. Like I just fucking walked away, um, so, yeah, I pretty, pretty happy about that. Um, and again, it's weird for someone who considers themselves a power athlete to be excited about power output work. But come on over to the gym on bike sprint day and I'll wreck you in round one and then I'll lose to every person under the sun and round four. Um, so yeah, all right, gents, that's all I got. We got anything to wrap this up, you guys? Good to go? No, I think, ready for 25.2 ready for 25.2.
