The Mayhem Classic is BACK & CrossFit Games Updates // The Rich Froning Podcast 043

[@FilipBorowski.]

I think we need some Mayhem Classic merch to honor the comeback of the greatest competition ever

[@J_Wolfe86]

THE BIG “M” shirt!!! Pleeaaase

[@Nuggett57]

Yea!! Big M!!

[@Jrmartinez1111]

Here for the “Good ol’ days feels”! Angelo couldn’t have said it better!!

[@matthewdross8925]

The old way of doing things in CrossFit is part of what made it so popular. Glad you guys are trying to get back in touch with that as well as trying to connect the sport of CrossFit with the affiliates. You guys do a great job and so does Sevan. Sevan live-streaming open workouts and quarterfinals was a fantastic idea. Have a Merry Christmas, Mayhem crew and everyone else🎄

[@joshua_patterson]

Obligatory comment for YT algo. Also, love these. I understand Rich is a very busy guy, but it'd be awesome to have a podcast episode regularly. Once a week if I'm being greedy but even once every two weeks would be awesome. I just enjoy hearing y'alls POV on things. Thanks and keep up the good work!

[@DenseUpdates]

Hangover “we are back we are back we are getting mayhem classic back!” 😂 great show yall.

[@christianvegafit]

Love that Rich is calling out the Bs that Lambray said in the cpw interview.

[@wadeduplessis7934]

Rich, Your humility and objectivity shines through

[@summerw5773]

I couldn't stop laughing when he said Tim Horton 😂😅

[@leshlycook5068]

If this is going to be the first live semi final … it has to be epic… no doubt Mayhem will deliver ❤❤

[@prescottosegie]

🔥🔥🔥the hype!!! Let go!!! The mayhem classic gonna be good to watch 😎💪🏾 keep up the good content rich

[@SweatinSixty]

They are called the GOOD ol’ days for a reason! And yes, CF needs some consistency across the “CF season”.

[@The_Quand]

The “old way” of CrossFit is basically CrossFit methodology without over complicated and trendy ideas. What’s “old” about the fundamentals? Move better, more more, move more faster. I remember when doing CrossFit was an adventure - like the “first love” thing. Doing workouts that ruled you and making others up. Simpler the better, funner the better.

[@stephaniedelacruz475]

I died laughing…”Got to give him credit”…Rich: “Making other people do it and Not doing it” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 FACTS!!

[@LiseMA8994]

Hahaha Ya " Tim Hortons" workout. I'm in !!! hahaha 🍩☕

[@dangerman5123]

If Mayhem decided to split from Crossfit and stop paying affiliate fees, they could literally be their own fitness brand.

[@the_real_joelkelley]

Been waiting for this!!

[@jasonrivera4413]

Love the content and yes I think the Mayhem Classic will be amazing and hopefully can get down there and watch. Next time you guys are in the affiliate tour sing into Fern Creek CrossFit. We are in Louisville Ky and we use Mayhem programming. Keep up the good work and hope to see you all sometime.

[@brighteyes1016]

I would like to have some foundational classes available at events. I would benefit from some high-level coaching in between watching the studs compete.

[@wrm787]

So can I say echo bike battery if I’m building resistance against the echo bike??

[@francesbayly8881]

Excited for the mayhem classic!!!!

[@adamtannous1962]

I agree with Angelo. It’s scary yes. CrossFit opened me up to another sport and me being a Froning/Mayhem fan! Athlete support the fans! Please

[@Craig-pk5cc]

To what Rich said about Greg I remember when I first got into CF I saw a picture of Rich ,Dave ,Josh ,Andy Stumff & Greg when someone told me Greg was the creator of CF I didn’t believe them 😂 he’s definitely not the best image for CF😅

[@jeremyflatter6105]

Did you film the affiliate tour? Future vids?

[@CFProjectMayhem]

Future video yep!

[@FitnessGoalsTV]

Exciting to see The Mayhem Classic back! 🔥 Who's your top pick for this year's competition?

[@richfroningsr4387]

Here we go! Mayhem Classic II! We’ll Make It Great Again! Ha

[@roseflo123]

Lol at 1:17:50 ish mark I’m like this is news to me lol

[@Kudders]

You should check out ATHX in the U.K., fixed format for one season then changes, cardio, strength and Metcon elements. Proper enforced standards as born out of the CrossFit community 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@philg55]

Thank you

[@KyleDotson_VFL]

If the World Fitness Project gets big, do you think it will eventually force CrossFit to sign athletes for yearly salaries in order for the CrossFit games to survive?

[@leshlycook5068]

I want to watch Rich doing hyrox…😊

[@KyleDotson_VFL]

CrossFit is like Nascar fans. Look how declined Nascar has gotten because of them messing with something that wasn’t broken. CrossFit needs to stick to something and not mess with it or they will eventually drive all the fans away.

[@karlytadolini]

Hyrox it’s not CrossFit specific that’s the point of not having BMU in it the point is everyone can do it no matter who you are and it’s fun and harder than you think. I think it would be fun if the stuff did change like maybe some barbell stuff and change some stuff around so it would be more unknown but it is still fun to train for and do

[@tbird7606]

Why don't you guys do a Hyrox and then report back your thoughts 😊

[@ashtonlaurel9455]

29:05 Brother I promise you, not every problem in the world comes down to wokeness. I get where you’re coming from but this aint it.

[@danielsnowboards]

Make CrossFit Great Again

[@tommypomaticofitness7945]

it means your ability to "re charge" and recover faster between reps so you can do more over time. nothing new like you guys said! Its a term OPEX made up years back. Really its CP work

[@Garrettismyname]

“It’s wokeness!” No, no it isn’t. CF affiliates are some of the least “woke” places I’ve ever been.

[@Ghostca]

Ro v Boz replaced by Froning V Bridges??????????

[@joeconway4564]

Good pod, Angelos attempts at using the word woke shows that the word had/has no meaning.

[@ashanfernando100]

Taylot self would be great for a demo athlete

[@markpalacios6137]

Just a reminder that Glassman in a recent podcast with Sevan, laughed at Lazar’s death and showed the most disingenuous disrespect towards him and what happened, just in case you needed more evidence on the type of person he is.

[@ericwirks2762]

No… no he did not you lying pos.

[@getjames]

Did you actually watch it? They were laughing at the imagined athlete reaction to cancelling the CrossFit Games for 5 years. It was crass for sure, but they are not supervillains 😂

[@christineyoung78]

Just a reminder shut up

[@catteel6448]

Not even close to describing what was said in that podcast. You literally made this up…

How do we get a media pass to cover the event? @richfroning @crossfitmayhem
