Analyzing the NorCal Classic programming with Tyler Watkins 

43:08 One problem I have with the complex is that there were 8 different skills involved whereas a weightlifting complex typically include 3 to 4 max. I'd argue a snatch complex to mirror this gymnastics complex would include movements like a drop snatch, snatch balance, above knee hang snatch, below knee hang snatch, tall snatch, etc. The other problem was doing a single TTB then standing there for 58 seconds then a TTB and pull up with a 56 second wait, etc. I would prefer a 4 round interval workout with a moderately challenging CTB and muscle ups buy in and then an AMRAP of drop kips (for the new skill element they wanted) until you reach a target score. 45:24 I think the difference is that weightlifting (and certainly monostructural) fits more naturally into the racing aspect that is essentially what the sport of CrossFit is whereas the sport of gymnastics is based on execution and subjective judging rather than racing for time. So many components of the sport of gymnastics don't easily fit into that racing element so it has become built around things like rope climbs, handstand walks and muscle ups which can be easily quantified in that way.

I wore crocs to judge on those black mats 😂

The unexpected clip of you two at the start creases me up every time 😂

Idea for a podcast Chase - if you had a Taylor/Colten mesh of skills. I.e. Taylor’s monostructural ability and gymnastics for certain events and Coltens strength and ROM. Would they win the CrossFit games? The only thing they are missing in my opinion is high power output on machines

Could you do a show were you discuss what gymnastics and other movements that would help up CF gymnastics game like we have with weightlifting as mentioned in the show. I mean it would be cool to see a max iron cross like the handstand hold back in the day.

51:10 the thing is is that unless an event is claiming to crown the fittest, it doesn’t matter if it’s balanced.

I was at NCC this weekend and I was completely star struck by seeing Bill mother fucking Grundler there!! I was never brave enough to say hello but, man.. cool as hell!

Being a girl dad is the best. Remember when my daughter tried out for basketball and saw she hustled in practice just like her dad.

48:41 not necessarily 4th single modality in a row as the bucket hold was a floater event

Norkalsu make the cap 20 mins and make them burpee ring muscle ups?

😊😊😊

i like being a dad

Again, No one cares about the pairs or teams 😂 I competed in the pairs division and most of the pairs completed the norkalsu workout around 6 min. Was a very fast workout and thought the reps should have been 100 per pair in that time domain.

Tardy to the party. Dr appt was in my way. Better late than never
