Bros this is a such a cool video. Mad respect for these two literally churning that workout out like nothing. You can tell Mike has mad respect for them too. Absolute units!

I like the respect shown between the 2 disciplines/ sports and the insights gleaned from such a collaboration.

I’ve been binging these videos as a guy who just got back into lifting (the wife and I invested in a nice home gym) I was terrified of squats because I remember how bad they hurt. But watching and learning from all these content creators has me getting more and more confident in my back squats! Feels amazing!

Where is the video of “Dr Mike” doing Fran? While I’ve stopped doing CrossFit (after owning/operating a CF gym for 8 years), I always loved how Rich leads by example…the truest form of leadership. Mad props to you, Rich, for being a true leader. Talk is cheap.

Mike is funny AF as always. "Top 10%?" "I would say Top 10."

I'm a former dancer, turn fitness enthusiast and taking correction in the fly is an everyday thing for us. While dancing, I also loved taking beginners classes to get back to the basics. Now that I've retired from dance, Crossfit took its place. Love it!

Not too dissimilar from the squats I was doing, but I was only doing 4x15 reps. Slow down, pause, explosive, up. The weight under the heel seems like a good add for me. Just needed squat rack so I didn’t have to lift the weight over my head for every set. I would combine this with the same barbell and do 30 lunges between the squat sets.

It would be useful if your cameraman could frame the legs of the people squatting so we can watch technique and the way knees track etc. whenever you have squatting exercises, the legs are never in the shot. But otherwise a very interesting video.

I'm from cookeville, trained at crossfit mayhem a bit, even with Rich a few times. Great gym and great dude, couldn't be more humble.
