Peak HYROX? WFP Project 1, ATHX, and XTron

TOPICS • Holiday Not-So-Live catch-up with the crew • Backyard studio build progress and spending decisions • Home gym equipment tradeoffs and personal setups • World Fitness Project "Project One" workout breakdown • Online qualifiers, judging, and cheating in hybrid races • CrossFit "fittest on earth" tagline and fitness format comparisons • HYROX's pending points-based Elite 15 system • Wins vs depth of field vs Majors weighting debates • Athlete burnout and how much racing is too much • Fitness boom, content saturation, and whether hybrid races peak

SUMMARY We close out the year with a wide-ranging Not-So-Live. I update where the backyard studio build stands and how I'm thinking about spending more on HVAC, plumbing, and peace of mind. We talk gear, home gyms, and why people wrestle with equipment decisions.

Dave walks through the World Fitness Project "Project One" workout and why it felt heavy on running and lighter on strength. That leads into a broader chat about online qualifiers, community policing versus rules, and why judging online is almost harder than in person.

We also debate CrossFit's "fittest on earth" slogan and how different formats test fitness differently. Then we get into HYROX: whether we're at peak HYROX, what the new points-based Elite 15 system might mean, how wins might stack against field depth and Majors, and whether requiring multiple races could push athlete burnout.
