Turbo Geeks

We welcomed a baby boy earlier in the summer! Thanks for your patience. Here's part 2 of 6 of our HABITS discussion.

I'm this 6-part series I'm going to cover a handful of habits you can immediately implement to improve your health and fitness. In this episode we'll start with Morning habits.

Chris Rohrer started RARR Brand technical apparel for those on the move, especially strength & conditioning athletes who need clothing that stand up to their needs. Chris and I met a long time ago and collaborated on some joggers and pullovers for the gym. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out and am excited to collaborate again in the future. RARR can do the same for you and your teams/gyms/businesses if you contact them at their website http://rarr.com/ Big thanks to Chris for joining us!

Why take supplements? Aren’t they a waste of money? Today we discuss what the popular ones and why you might want to try them if they fit into your goals. General Overview of protein, creatine, pre-workout, carbs, multivitamins, and Omega-3s. Also: what is a stack?

Today’s TURBO GEEK is Chris Volckmann, a Seattle-based filmmaker and friend that Andrew met through CrossFit. We discuss Living Art and if creators should be messing with their projects after putting it out in the public space. Do fans own it? Does the creator have final say when the project actually involves tons of people? We also do an AMRAP with Chris. Part Two to follow!

Andrew discusses the benefits of 30-Day Fitness Challenges. There’s the back bridge (wheel) challenge from @pamelagnon, the squatting challenge and the hanging challenge from @idoportal, and @thesixseattle @hypeyogi’s 300 abs challenge. I'm did 30:00 of squatting on 6/1, 300 abs on 6/2, 7:00 of hanging on 6/3, and will go back to 30:00 of squatting today, 6/4. Join me?

Intro • The Games, the Blowhardcard, and Hunter McIntyre • Outro

This week we talk Disney: their acquisition of Hulu, the aforementioned STAR WARS movie in 2022, Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland, some upcoming films (Disney/Marvel/Pixar), and more. CW’s DC shows The Flash and upcoming Batwoman. Musically we mentioned Tuxedo’s new track and Anderson .Paak's COVER ART project.

Andrew discusses a CrossFit benchmark “Hero” workout just in time for Memorial Day. "MURPH" For time: 1 mile run 100 pull-ups 200 push-ups 300 squats 1 mile run Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. If you've got a twenty pound vest or body armor, wear it. In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005. This workout was one of Mike's favorites and he'd named it 'Body Armor.' It first appeared on the CrossFit.com on August 18th, 2005. Don’t hit failure. Don’t fail reps. Switch it up before going further! Possible ways to partition the workout: 20x 5 squats 5 shups 5 squats 5 pull-ups 5 squats 5 shups 33x 3 pull-ups 6 pushups 9 squats + 1-2-3 25x 4 pullups 8 pushups 12 squats 50x 2 pullups 4 pushups 6 squats Alternatively 2 pull-ups 3 squats 4 pushups 3 squats *Also just realized I said the hardest part would be the PULLUPS. I meant PUSHUPS because DUH* **Also: just listening to this myself and apologies for the audio cutting/breaking up- I was recording on a ferry ride and I’m assuming these parts happened during the dead parts of cell service!**

It finally happened after some hints that Founder Greg Glassman put out: CrossFit has pulled their @CrossFit and @CrossFitGames accounts from Instagram and Facebook. What does this mean for the community? What does it mean for affiliates?

SPOILERS! First and only thoughts on THE BELLS, the penultimate episode of Game of Thrones. I recorded the pod 5-7 times (no joke,) but was either not satisfied with the audio quality or my opinions changed the more I thought about it.
