CrossFit Games Prep: 20 Events, The Hopper Times, Pig Flips, and Quinn’s Rookie Outlook (Boys Interrupted Ep. 79)In Episode 79 of Boys Interrupted, the guys recap a heavy training weekend, discuss doing 18 events as a Games simulation, and break down specific pieces including a swim-dominant workout, a brutal 35-minute EMOM, hill running intervals, and testing The Hopper (with times around the sub-8 range and debate about possible sub-7:30). They talk about the “pig” implement, why it feels harder on certain turf, and how repeated flips change the workout under fatigue. The crew debates Dave Castro’s push to program 20 events, speculates on potential repeats and classic tests, and discusses Games logistics like venues, a hilly 4+ mile trail run, and whether athletes must jump feet-first into the pool. They also touch on mindset, sleep, Fourth of July plans, and Quinn Robinson’s potential top-10 rookie finish.00:00 Back With The Boys00:37 Quinn Missing Recap00:45 Weekend Training Volume02:18 Peeking At Workouts03:36 Soccer In Seattle04:32 Testing The Hopper05:34 Pig Flips Talk07:56 Hard EMOM Breakdown11:05 20 Events Speculation14:32 Games Mindset Check16:19 Fourth Of July…
