| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody. Welcome to another edition of Talking Elite Fitness. The whole crew is back from |
| 0:05.2 | Pasadena. Brian, you're heading, like, you're leaving in like an hour for Berlin. So we're going to |
| 0:13.5 | knock this out quickly. We've got Lauren Khalil, we've got Tommy Marquez. All the usual suspects are here. |
| 0:17.7 | Everyone made it back okay. And did anyone do MRF? Because I know we all traveled |
| 0:24.4 | on Monday. I really wanted to, but I knew that probably the smart decision for my lack of |
| 0:32.6 | good nutrition and adequate sleep meant I'm going to put my body first. |
| 0:38.8 | Good job. Tommy, you got roped. You did the whole thing, right? So I like an idiot. While we |
| 0:43.1 | were up in the booth, I literally had a conversation with Stacey Tovar about how it was one of |
| 0:49.4 | those why men don't live longer things. She was like, oh, you can do Murph or any other hero workout? I'm like, I'm going to do |
| 0:55.7 | Murph. I had a plan. I was going to I was going to, because I'm like, I'm not conditioned to do all the pull-ups and most of the push-ups with a vest. So I had a plan to basically do the run, a big chunk of air squats, in some of the push-ups, all of the pull-ups and some push-ups |
| 1:13.8 | without the vest, put it back on, finish up the push-ups and squats and go out on the run, |
| 1:20.2 | and basically do all the pull-ups without the vest. |
| 1:23.2 | Because that's what usually causes me the most problems. |
| 1:25.7 | And she's like, I know, I keep telling, you know, Dustin, my husband to do that too. But he always ends up like basically giving himself rabdo every year. And he can't move for a week. And I was like, yeah, yeah, I can't do that this year. I just can't. And I get home. I land early, grab my vest, go to the gym. I get there. Two of my buddies are like, |
| 1:47.2 | hey, we're waiting for you. We're doing MIRF, unpartitioned. And I'm like, you son of a bitch, |
| 1:54.0 | I'm in. Except I didn't do it unpartitioned. I just did it, however. I started to stick to my plan, |
| 2:00.7 | and then I hopped up for 10 pull-ups with the vest on. And I was like, you know, I could just, like, Towley. I could get a little high. I could do a little mirf. I could do a little mirf. And then I did it all. So I did a half with, with the vest on, and that did me just fine. Yeah. All right. |
| 2:17.8 | Well, let's, we are going to have like a full, big, huge semifinals recap next week with all kind of the top storylines because there's a lot of stuff that we want to talk about, especially coming out of this last weekend. If you just need, like, a temporary fix, you can go to our YouTube channel and watch all of our recap shows. and we have like a day-by-day sort of breakdown of everything that happened in the West and in South America and in Oceania. But today we're going to focus on because Brian has got to catch a plane. We're going to focus on Europe. That's the big one going on this week. And I'm just going to, I think it's 11, 11, 11 and 9, right? Am I right on that? |
| 2:52.7 | 11.11. 10. God. The teams. 10. That's right. I almost got it. Sean, your math was almost |
| 2:57.8 | So that's 42. Okay. So wait, it's that's 30, no, yes, 32. |
| 3:09.1 | 32. |
| 3:10.0 | Oh, man, if this isn't an indictment on our, our slipping in math and signs in the United States, |
