Boys Interrupted

Van Life, Xenom Recap & Riley Martin Joins Boys Interrupted (Gambling, Demo Team, Back Rolls)

The hosts bounce through updates on Xenom, praising Jack Farlow’s win and debating getting him back on the pod, while one records from a newly purchased, fully equipped 4WD van on a trip to a sister’s wedding in Tahoe. They discuss Dave Castro’s Week in Review, Games programming on the fly, the brutal ranch run, Garmin hill scores, and whether bench press or back rolls could appear at the CrossFit Games, including comparisons to ring handstand pushups and flip turns in swimming. The conversation shifts to Nashville training, including a tough flip-sled and dumbbell bench workout. Guest Riley Martin joins from a bar, talks Xenom event density, the Air Rhino technique, his U.S. travel plans, possible demo team involvement, and his gambling Instagram account and big wins.

With the CrossFit Games one month away, the crew jokes about haircuts, countdown posts, and travel while recapping Nashville training camp sessions, including a descending-rep GHD/burpee/dumbbell snatch/ring muscle-up workout and run interval options. They debate why descending schemes drive intensity, compare pacing, and talk humidity, recovery, and upcoming Games programming such as the swim, rest days, and possible gymnastics skills like ring back rolls or front-roll complexes. The conversation shifts to no-rep and DQ stories from Hyrox and past competitions, ticket logistics, and training camp purpose. Guest Quinn joins to discuss moving back to Nashville, starting coaching with Lockard/Mayhem, weaknesses, team-to-individual transition, recovery improvements via more sleep and carbs, competition highlights, work in healthcare sales, sponsors/shoes, sports background, excitement for 20 events and the hopper workout, and his goals of top 10 and a WFP pro card.

The group celebrates Justin qualifying for the CrossFit Games through online semifinals and recaps his weekend, including workout order, a rope-climb retest after seeing Jacob Heppner’s pace, an event win on the wall-ball workout, and a power snatch weakness despite successfully powering all 15 reps at 225. They discuss stress around leaderboard swings from strict video review, judging requirements, harsh penalties for missed reps, and how many videos may need review, with concerns about standards on wall balls, thrusters, muscle-ups, and hang cleans. They note CrossFit Vancouver’s team moving from sixth to second after validations, highlight surprises like Gui winning and Alexis Raptis leading the women, and talk about bubble athletes training while waiting for finalization. The conversation shifts to expectations for a 20-event Games, possible “roots” events, rest-day strategy, prize money, and lighter banter about haircuts, jerseys, and other topics.

The group jokes about someone making the “last chance qualifier,” clarifying it’s essentially online semifinals, then discusses training mindset, deloading, recovery, reading, and reducing screen time using tools like a physical “brick” card and a habit-tracking app. They share routines such as no-social-media Sundays, bedtime targets, supplements, mobility, and using an Eight Sleep bed for waking up. After the online semifinals workouts are released, they break down each event (hang power cleans with rope climbs; burpee box jump overs, rowing, and 315 deadlifts; wall balls with 10-foot targets plus handstand walks and double unders; 225 snatches with shuttle runs; 185 thrusters and muscle-ups), debate pacing, standards, and winning times, talk prize implications, and make rough predictions about likely qualifiers and bubble athletes before wrapping up with travel and training plans.

The hosts catch up from home, discussing James’ move and building a garage gym, then share recovery and massage stories before reacting to a hectic semifinals weekend. They cover “Spain Gate” timing/leaderboard controversy where Jonah missed qualifying by two points after a late appeal introduced a fractional-second time, and recap Del Mar/Legends Championship crossover with Games qualifiers. They highlight Dylan Hamming’s rise, Lydia’s dominant win, and Syndicate heartbreak moments including Nate’s handstand-walk penalty and tight leaderboard implications. Tudor Magda joins after NorCal, describes the most painful workout (ring muscle-ups and high-volume thrusters), strategy insights from workout testing, NorCal’s improvements from last year, and receiving prize checks on the podium. The episode ends with talk of online semis, team workouts, branding/social media jokes, and a quick percentage game.
