    Mental Resilience, CrossFit Games Pressure, and Open Punishments | Boys Interrupted Ep. 55

    Three CrossFit athletes livestream and catch up while James is away at an Adidas preseason athlete testing camp. They share recent run-ins with Heber and Rich Froning during a Salt Lake hunting expo weekend and talk hunting content, including the Seek One Productions channel (Lee Ellis). The conversation shifts into mental resilience and mindset shifts, centered on Jason’s CrossFit Games experience: his emotional low after Running Isabel, the reset he made before the final event, and how warmup misses can disappear once he’s on the competition floor. They discuss mental toughness vs discipline vs maturity, how they process bad training days, and tell stories about quitting or nearly quitting workouts, including sandbag clean standards, ring height issues, and tough interval sessions. They trade favorite memories of each other from competitions like the Games, Mesa, Wodapalooza, and team moments (including an unbroken heavy synchronized wall-ball set), and mention plans to team up in Miami next month. They also announce they’ve started a Bible study and debate Bible translations and reading approaches. Finally, they outline Open-related punishments with a fan poll (milk mile, dance performance, stand-up comedy night, public shame poster in an outfit, singing a song about the winners, a loser outfit for a quarterfinals workout, and waxing—debating Brazilian vs bikini), plus a season-long penalty where the overall loser buys a billboard near the San Jose airport/SAP Center saying they “suck at the Open.” The episode ends with updates on garage upgrades, new equipment plans, and a new “Be a savage” barbell. 00:00 Welcome Back (Minus James): Adidas Trip & Preseason Testing 01:39 Salt Lake Catch-Up: Heber, Mars, and the Hunting Expo Workout 02:27 Forklift Viewer Shoutout + The ‘Avid’ YouTube Debate 04:01 Hunting YouTube Rabbit Hole: Seek One / Lee Ellis 06:57 CrossFit Mayhem & Quarterfinals Location Talk (Boise?) 08:16 Next Month Travel Plans + Pivot to a New Topic 09:00 Mental Resilience at the Games: Jason’s Mindset Shift Story 12:39 Handling the Spiral: Warmup Nerves, Thrusters, and ‘What Would You Do?’ 17:06 Training Headspace: Bad Days, Missed Lifts, and Keeping Highs/Lows Small 23:59 Quitting Workouts & Coach Conversations: When to Shut It Down 29:10 Defining Mental Toughness: Echo Bike Tell-Tales & Discipline vs Grit 38:56 Adrenaline, Max Lifts, and a New Definition of Toughness 39:50 Winning the Last Event: What Mental Toughness Looks Like at the Games 41:12 Defining the Buckets: Toughness vs Discipline vs Awareness 41:45 Ranking Each Other (No Poll Allowed): Who Embodies What? 42:59 Favorite Memories: Jason’s Games Comeback & Competitor Perspective 44:27 dLAN’s Mesa Rally + Waterpalooza Rivalries 47:33 The Legendary Sync Wall Balls Story (Team Waterpalooza 2022) 53:31 Justin Memories: Mic’d Up, Rogue Run, and the Long Road Back 57:04 WFP Decision Talk + Dream Team Plans for Miami 59:17 Bible Study & Translation Debate: History Book or Love Letter? 01:03:47 Open Punishments Poll: Milk Mile, Standup, Waxing, and the Billboard Finale 01:10:24 Training Motivation for the Open + Predicting Week 1 01:12:09 Garage Gym Upgrades & Signing Off Until Next Week
