Description

Chris Baynes joins the show from Perth to talk about judging standards, wall ball controversy, and how HYROX can tighten consistency across regions. Matt and Chris break down Meg Jacoby's viral wall ball post, Sean's Maastricht no-reps, and what proper hip depth actually looks like.

They also discuss:
– The "hand test" judging method and why it fails
– The difference between Elite and Open race standards
– Why women often hit deeper squats than men
– Regional judging inconsistencies and communication issues
– Whether boxes or buckets belong in pro races
– What HYROX can learn from APAC events

Plus: shoe talk, Fury Road, and the future of elite fitness racing standards.
