James Recaps WFP Indiana, Rogue Prep, and Pat’s Injury | Boys Interrupted Ep. 86
In Episode 86 of Boys Interrupted, the guys congratulate James on a strong, restful month and recap his weekend at the WFP event in Indiana, where he competed while feeling sick and managing stomach issues, emphasizing that you don’t have to feel 100% to win. They talk about balancing competition with life outside the gym (golfing, a high school football game), debate how many competitions are sustainable in a season, and discuss misaligned schedules across WFP, Rogue, Wodapalooza, and the Games, plus rising WFP prize money and possible format changes next year. They break down standout performances and injuries (including Pat’s torn Achilles and Roman’s issues), touch on combine-style events like the 40-yard dash and broad jump, look ahead to Rogue in Scotland, and share training updates, including building a sideways pegboard and playing a long “skill pig” gym game.
