Icelandic Open Standouts Join the Show: Training, Weaknesses, and French Throwdown PlansThe hosts go live for a special Thursday episode featuring two young Icelandic CrossFit athletes who drew attention by finishing first and second in Open Week 1, discuss how to pronounce their Icelandic names, and review their overall Open results (29th and 79th). They talk about how the rest of the Open and Quarterfinals went, identifying gymnastics capacity—especially muscle-ups—as a key weakness, while noting a preference for heavy barbells that didn’t appear in this year’s tests. The conversation includes a past DM about coaching, training history and ages, work and school (including physical therapy studies), and Icelandic culture topics like training with BK and eating dried fish. They outline upcoming competition plans to attend the French Throwdown individually and pursue a team Games path, including early worm training experiences, before closing with jokes and banter.00:00 Special Edition Kickoff00:36 Meet the Icelandic Guests01:40 Name Pronunciations02:51 Open Week One Shock03:57 Audio Issues and Translation05:11 Coaching DM Storytime06:45 Training Backgrounds08:59 Reading the Old DM10:04 Wild Donation Interlude13:01 Open Results Breakdown14:13 Weaknesses and Quarterfinals16:13 Workout Strategy Showdown18:08 Do They Train Together18:43 Iceland Farm Instagram19:57 Training With Iceland Legends20:12 Inside Jokes and Wrap20:37 Icelandic Shark Snacks21:46 Iceland Trip Stories22:19 Where Everyone Lives23:08 Gaming Talk Detour23:42 Season Plans Semis24:31 French Throwdown Drama25:57 Coach Signs Off26:19 Audio Issues Fix27:09 Jobs And Daily Life28:28 Goals And Team Push29:54 Team Qualifying Explained31:21 Worm Training Reality33:01 Fortnite And PS535:17 Fantasy Football Roast36:05 Wrap Up And Banter

Live Quarterfinals in Boise: Workout Order, Wild Strategies & Josh Bridges CommentaryThe crew goes live from Boise to preview their CrossFit Quarterfinals weekend, joking about “the boys” strategy takes, travel meetups, and everyone battling varying levels of sickness. They announce they’ll compete at CrossFit Canvas Friday and Saturday (and may visit CrossFit North Side Sunday), stream workouts starting Friday at 1:30pm Mountain/3:30pm Eastern with different guest commentators for each workout, and collaborate with the CrossFit Games to stream on their networks, with Josh Bridges set to commentate the first live workout. They outline a reverse workout order (row/clean & jerk/handstand push-ups first, then deadlift/double-unders, then bar muscle-ups with hang squat cleans, finishing with a shuttle run/overhead squat/burpee workout), debate pacing and clean & jerk approaches, and plan to draw four different strategies from a hat for the muscle-up/clean workout. They react to donations, tease a comedy-show punishment tied to hitting 10K subscribers and a barbell giveaway, and close with weekend timing updates.00:00 Boys Breakdown Intro00:39 Boise Meetup Plans01:34 Livestream Schedule Guests02:46 Josh Bridges Hype03:26 Quarterfinals Vibe Goals04:00 Sick Week Banter04:44 Basketball Trash Talk06:58 Strategy Hat Idea07:46 Big Donation Moment13:32 Workout Four Gameplan21:03 Workout Order Deadlift23:13 Jump Rope Testing Talk25:23 Dallas Donation Game28:50 Next Workout Tease30:10 Workout Order Debate31:21 Donation Shoutouts32:03 Strategy Ideas Chaos34:28 Grip Fatigue Breakdown36:00 Chat Tangents Shirts42:18 Intensity Coaching Talk43:54 Nasal Breathing Zones48:38 Weekend Plans Banter53:48 Sprint Workout Pacing57:03 Colton Never Lays Down01:00:01 Bible Study Updates01:00:40 Live Schedule Wrap Up

Boys Interrupted: Travel Chaos, Meet & Greet Stories, and CrossFit Quarterfinals Workout BreakdownThe hosts kick off Boys Interrupted by joking about recording separately, then recap a hectic stretch of travel, getting sick after Miami, and major flight cancellations that left them stranded and driving long hours, including reroutes through Atlanta and a night in Boise. They discuss airport frustrations, how they pack competition vests, memorable vests from past events, and odd meet-and-greet experiences, including inappropriate fan behavior. The conversation shifts to a conspiracy-theory PowerPoint night, then to CrossFit Quarterfinals: they explain that workouts were released before the official window, outline strategies for all four workouts (including the choose-your-own-rep-scheme workout), and share plans to livestream their attempts with guests. The episode ends with an argument over an Open punishment tiebreak and a push to hit 10,000 subscribers.00:00 Boys Interrupted Kickoff00:34 Nonstop Travel Life02:28 Sick After Training04:34 Miami Flight Chaos12:38 Vests And Comp Souvenirs15:52 Meet And Greet Madness20:48 Conspiracy Night Stories25:07 Quarterfinals Plan And Workout 133:40 Games Podium Odds And Payout Debate39:26 Workout Two Breakdown43:35 Tiebreak And Strategy45:06 Chaos Rep Counting47:36 Reality TV Tangent48:50 Workout Three Deadlift Dubs52:30 Breakup Sets Lessons54:48 Workout Four Row CJ HSPU01:00:20 Weekend Gameplan Recovery01:06:55 Open Punishment Debate01:19:06 Final Decision Signoff

JUSTIN MEDEIROS PODCAST
In between training, my friends and I always get into some wild conversations. So we thought, why not share these conversations with the world. We talk a lot about CrossFit but we'll also talk about very random things. Thanks for listening!
