I talked with Lauren Weeks about a viral clip that questioned a judging call and what actually happened on the floor. We broke down lunge standards, what judges are looking for, how yellow cards are communicated, and why some calls look different on video than they feel in the moment. We also got into judging consistency, human error, and why certain movements like burpees are still the hardest to officiate cleanly.

Then I was joined by the two guys behind XTRON Live to talk about their race format and why they built it the way they did. We covered their virtual seasons that qualify athletes for a free live final, how they score and monitor results, the 20 percent rule that forces people to back up their numbers on race day, and why keeping the event accessible in any gym matters to them. We also talked about where they're hosting finals, upcoming seasons, and what they're building next with Gym Wars.
