More to come tomorrow night; after all the scores are up, and everything is finalized. For tonight, I have to comment on the mind-blowing coolness of the fact that 4 out of the top 5 women in the Southeast Region are muhfuckin’ Outlaws. No big deal, right?
This weekend I got the chance to coach our very own Talayna Fortunato in the National Weightlifting Championships. Being in the same room as coaches Glenn Pendlay, Kyle Pierce, Greg Everett, and John Coffee was a little intimidating, to say the least. The fact that T had a recent injury added to the nerves of the afternoon. T, however, was super close to PRs on the snatch and clean and jerk, and had an incredible showing for someone who didn’t even know what a snatch was 2 1/2 years ago. I would like to thank Talayna for all her hard work over the last six months and for giving me the opportunity to share a room with some of my coaching heroes.
I got the opportunity to hang out with one of the coolest/greatest exercisers in the history of exercising – none other than the 2010 Games Champion and 2011 Games Second Place Finisher, Kristan Clever. Here is the video interview:

Would also like to know!

I am guessing 5 for men and 3 for ladies?
Yep!
How much rest after 2b? I’m OCD and need to know this.
So… did she drink Jameson with you or not?
Monthly goal setting at the Nasso residence
Goal # 1 … to be more consistent with my posts on the outlaw page ! It’s only fair… I put the work in… But I get comfortable with the uncomfortable from following this shit! Live it ! So proud of T this weekend!! Awesome recovery! My guess for week 3.. Kb swings ttb and some kind of squat… But just guessing
Love^
You can take a picture of the Asia women,s too as 2 of the top 5 4 of the Top 7 are Outlaws! Oh the team in first .. yeah they are outlaws too!
Way to go T! Outlaws!
Are you guys bringing tank tops to camp this weekend? Would love to buy one!
Great job Outlaws!!! :))
Question: What should I do if I don’t have my muscles ups just yet?
Get a muscle up 😉 hehe … When that question crossed my mind at camp in regards to bar muscle ups … I ended up getting 6 ( ugly as shit but hey I got work done) ! 😉
In all seriousness… Look up jeff tuckers journal on muscle up preps and check out gymnastics wod to show u how to modify with bands …
Hope this helps
Thank you! 🙂
I will do that as we speak….Good job on bar muscle ups.. I will be happy to get at least one even if its ugly as shit
Cheryl just told you to HTFU in the nicest possible way.
Jesus Christ, enough with the fucking smiley faces already.
Mad props to Kevin Simons. Sitting at number 12 in the men’s division WORLDWIDE!!! Been semi silently watching him (in a totally creepy way) since 2010, so good to see him finally making a move. Hoping he makes the games this year!
Kevin also did 12.2 while suffering from the third day of a very nasty flu. He was completely run down…dehydrated…pale and pasty…looked like hell before the clock started…and still managed 86 reps! Scary to think what he could have done if he would have been healthy.
Way to go, Kevin!
That is nuts, he said on his log that he woke up with the flu on the 2nd day at regionals last year which pushed him out of the top spots. Maybe its good that he gets it now and not at a more crucial time haha. What a Beast
1. LBBS: 155, 180, 205, 230, 235, 260 (10# PR). I was feeling good, so put 270# on the bar and SQUATTED IT! That’s an increase of 25# on my back squat since the beginning of this squat cycle.
2a. supinated pull-ups: 8# (Titin vest) (unbroken); 11# (unbroken); 13# (6/2); 16# (3/3/2)
2b. front squats 125, 150, 160, 160 (I stayed in the vest the entire time)
going back to do the rest tonight, wanted to post about my huge PR!
Hell yeah, Wendy!!!! Saw you are sitting in a good spot in your region. Keep it up!
Thanks, Ayn! You are doing pretty well yourself!
Conditioning: 5 rounds even

I’m gonna be down in Orlando this Friday…anyone here gonna be doing the Open WOD? If not, anyone know a good gym where I can do the Open WOD?
Thanks,
Thomas
CrossFit Country. One of my best friends, Wayne, runs the gym. Super nice, brand new gym. It’s in the Northeast party of the city, right by UCF.
We’re south west part of town. We’ll doing open WODs thurs and sat, but could probably make an exception for an Outlaw.
Come to CrossFit Kings Point! Lets do the 12.3 together…me and a couple of the coaches will be doing it friday together
Done. What time are you planning?
Hello all,im new to this site.i have done cf for a few years made it to the games in 09.i was wondering if its ok to break up the strength from the wod,i run a box and it works out better that way.i like to follow program right,plz help thank u
Yeah, Charlie. That’s actually maybe a better way to handle the work anyway. Good to have you on board.
Thx strength went good this am,i have herd alot of great things about this site.im lookin 4ward to what this can do for me,i will post later my numbers for 2day.o what is a good goal for this wod?
Charlie, the only goal you should be focused on in using the English language right now.
Tom – Nice typo, prick.
is this Charlie Dunifer?
Back Squat – 205, 235, 265, 300, 315, 340
4 x 8 Weighted Chin up – 45, 60, 65, 70
Front Squat – 170, 200, 210
Skipped Conditioning, feeling beat up
Midline – done
m/f/s – 6/5/5
Whenever I am deciding how to scale a workout (like the 5×11 225# deadlift from last week) is it fair to assume that the workouts are written with an athlete like BP/EA in mind, so I should scale my workout weights based upon how my 1RM compares to theirs?
So if BP has a 1RM DL of 450# and mine is 300# then my working weight should be about 2/3 of RX working weight.
While the workouts may be written to be challenging even for the elite, that doesn’t mean we all scale based on our maximal lifts. If you can do the work as written, do it – even if it takes you a little bit longer.
its been a while since i last posted…
failed at 355 twice, just didnt have it in me
2a) got up to 205)
2b) just 10
c) 2 rounds because apparently my head is still up my ass from 12.2
m) 20 kg and no reverse hyper so managed the best i could with some serious back extensions off of a bench
I will be in Sarasota, Florida from Thursday to Saturday anyone know any gyms close that I can WOD at and hopefully follow my Outlaw prescription….
Poppas box! He just moved up there to open a box
Gym. He opened a gym.
Hey, unfortunately we don’t have our equipment yet. I am about to go into our condos little gym and make so shit happen hah. I will be around thurday and Friday if you want to check out the new spot
1) 155, 180, 205, 230, 245, 265 – 265# is a 23# PR since I started the cycle.
2a) not weighted
2b) 135, 160 – stopped at that point. Low back is really sore.
Conditioning: 5 + 1 cluster. Red bands for MUs.
Midline:
The shoulder that I dislocated last fall felt like it had hot knives in it during the conditioning so I skipped the TGU.
Reverse hyper – 45# on all sets
MFS – 3/6/6
I had to take a hard look at myself and back squats. My knee has not been consistent at all during this squat cycle, so I’ve decided to work with more linear progression and build back up (too much weight still irritates my knee)
1) 225x5x3
2a) +18, +26, +30, +30×6/2
2b) 145, 155, 165, 165
Conditioning
really wanted to do UB double unders but it wasn’t in the cards today…otherwise I probably would have gotten 1-2 rounds (still wasn’t much better). My lower back was feeling tight so I broke all thrusters into 6-5-4 reps.
3 Rounds + 10 reps
TGU later…maybe some HSPU practice
I am new to this site but have only heard amazing things about Rudy and the Outlaw crew! Attending the seminar in Heath, TX later this month and can’t wait!
In regards to todays conditioning and midline…I work out of my garage…I have most equipment but do not have the room to do muscle ups…I have rings….any suggestions for a sub? I also don’t have a reverse hyper….any sub for this as well?
Thanks for all your help and look forward to learning more!
re: Muscle ups – There’s really not a great substitute. If you cannot possibly rig the rings higher, try bar muscle ups. If you don’t have a bar that lets you do those, there’s not many good options. I was doing strict weighted C2B pull ups and weighted dips before I got rings set up.
re:hypers – Rudy has subbed good mornings in the past. Some people here use some sort of bizarre weighted/banded mock up on a GHR.
A: 165, 195, 220, 250, 260, 280 (5# PR)
B1: BW, 15#, 25#, 45# x 5 (f)

*Back squat felt pretty light considering my back is totally messed up right now, tweaked it pretty badly doing dismounts from rings last night
1) 275, 315, 365, 405, 425, 460 (f), 460 (f… f%#$) (based on 450 1rm)

1) 185, 215, 245, 275, 290, 325(pr, the weight was supposed to be 315 but 290 was crazy lite so i pushed it a little)

3rnds + made it to the DU’s but just couldnt keep my DU’s unbroken for 30 reps( should have been around 5 rounds but all rounds had multiple attempts and 30UB DU’s, frustrating)
midline
1a) did good mornings 75LBSx 3sets
1b) 44kb,44kb,53kb ( should have used 53 the whole time)
2/3/3
I’m on a army course i southern Germany at the moment and i was fearing for the conditions at the base gym. For a reason, it turned out. NO squat rack and nothing i Can squat from. On the other hand they have a platform! No rings, kb, medballs etc, but a lot of globo gym bullshit.
I did the following:
1) 5×2 cleans (all 245)
2a) 4×8 pullups supinated All @ 25lbs
2b) 4×3 jerks all @ 185
Conditioning: substituted MU for bar MU. Got 4 rds+3 MU. spent a good amount of time during the WOD taping up the shitty spray painted pullup bar that was getting slippery. Only had to restart the DU ón my first round. Very pleased with that!
3×15 goodmornings at 100lbs
1) 235, 275, 315, 350, 365, no set at 102.5%
2a) 35, 35, 20, 20
2b) 190, 225, 235, 235
Conditioning: 4 rounds + 4 MU (may have been 5 rounds not sure)
Did this immediately after the weighted strict pullups and I had zero pull for the MU. Muscle ups were sloppy overall, only 1st round unbroken. Spent too much time staring at the rings. All double unders unbroken, most of the dumbbell sq clean thrusters were sets of 8/7. Wasn’t feeling it at all today, this was a tough one to get through.
3/6/4 – feel super sluggish
1. 195/225/250/285/300/325
2a. 45/65/65/65(6reps)
2b. skipped (knee)
metcon – 5 rounds + 5 MUs. All DU’s and 1st 4 rounds of MU’s unbroken.
midline – good mornings 75#, 1 pood
BeastMode went BeastMode
Thanks, but as I’ve demonstrated, beastmode (for me) only happens on lightweight shit. I like Rudy’s programming the past couple weeks.
First day on board. Switching from 8 months of CFFB. I wasn’t planning on doing the Open this year but after 2 weeks I already want more competition-biased training.

2b.) 110-130-140-140
Conditioning:
2 rounds in 5 min, then on first MU of round 3 got this sharp pain in wrist which happens from time to time on MU. I don’t think i warmed them up or I taped them incorrectly. This happens every so often and I have to stop. Took two min to re-tape and see if it helped got 2 more MU but had terrible pain so played it safe and switched to 12 pull-ups. 5 rounds. Wish I could have done this full WOD.
Felt really sore and sluggish after re-doing 12.2 yesterday.

Thanks.
My body was a bit tired after yesterday doing 12.2 WOD for first and only time and did the Deads/Push Up/Pull Up combo from Saturday, so did just strength, and some aches came about so I ended there.

1) 195, 230, 260, 295, 310, 335. (Worked off a 325 TM of my 360 PR from a month ago)
2a) 10, 15, 20, 25(all UB)

2 rounds+ 18 Double Unders. My double unders were horrid today. I wish that I had rested after the strength for a few hours before I did conditioning.
MFS; 353
Haven’t posted in forever, been super busy (read: excuses), but following diligently. Big highlight was going from 42 reps on 12.2 to 54 – a few weeks ago I couldn’t even snatch 135 once.
BS: 185, 215, 245, 275, 315 (10# PR)
Chins: 20# chain, had to split sets 3 and 4
FS: 155, 180, 190, 190
Conditioning: 3 rnds + 6 DU. Had to sub bar muscle up attempts for MU. I can get my body on top of the bar, but wrists don’t follow and keep falling off. Squat clean thrusters were pretty horrendous. Figured out it was more efficient to swing the DB’s like a KB between the legs instead of on the sides, similar to the ground to overhead for the regionals last year.
No time for midline. Was really dragging my feet today, not a lot of pop or energy. And I was hungry. I hate that.
1) 225lbs, 265lbs, 300lbs, 335lbs, 365lbs(97%of 1RM)
2a)25lbs for all sets – neutral grip, should have gone heavier all UB
2b)185lbs, 210lbs, 225lbs, 225lbs
Conditioning-Skipped becuase of time (and I still can’t roll my wrist over on MU’s)
Midline
25lbs, Yup
30lbs KB, seemed light but was able to move pretty quickly
Legs were just shot last night, squats sucked wanted 380lbs, 365 felt too heavy to give it a shot.
But yesterday didn’t entirely suck ass, I ordered a pair of the new Adidas AdidPowers. On sale at Eastbay $40 off until tomorrow. Those shoes are fire-fucking-engine red and would look sharp with some black and red Outlaw shorts
5x 235, 3×275, 2×315, 1×345, stopped (Back pain)
FSQ 5x 185, 205, 225, 225

15 pull-ups
2 rounds

2×15 reverse hypers improvised with 50# dumbbell between legs over back ext

Felt Really Sluggish Today during the conditioning, not sure why. I normally have a judge back at my home gym which helps on days like today. But, I am training at a different gym for the next 2 days so no judge.
Conditioning: 4 + 4 MU. Felt like I had no pull on the muscle ups for whatever reason and was just moving slow. only broke up one set of Clusters, which in retrospect I shouldnt have. And I screwed up on 1 set of DU. And only first set of MU unbroken. Just overall felt sluggish today. Too much time staring at the rings.
I forgot my book with numbers at the gym… PRed my back squat. So excited! 35lb PR. Got 290.
Pull-ups: 10, 15, 20, 20
Front squats: 135, 150, 160, 160

2b) 205, 245, 265
Conditioning:
4 rounds – Dumbbells broke in the middle of the WoD and I went to a 78lb Atlas Stone full squat clean thrusters…tore up the abs pretty good — MUs were 5 – 3/2 – 5 – 5 –DUs broke 3 times in the 2nd round, rest unbroken…
After – Reverse hypers, handstand walk contests and kip-up practice…lots of gymnastic fucking around, lots of fun. WoD was fun…Atlas Stone made it tougher for sure.
Strength:
LBBS – 225×5, 260×3, 300×2, 340×1. Felt like shit on BS today. I unracked 365 and then put it right back on b/c I knew I wasn’t getting it. PR is 375.
PUs – 25, 35
FS – 185, 210
I wanted to leave the gym at this point. It was just one of those days where I didn’t want to be there. Mentally I had checked out.
Conditioning: 4 rds + 9 hsc-thrusters. Too much time staring at those damn dumbbells.

BS- 135, 165, 205, 215, 230 (failed) Super sore from the previous dead-lift wod. No doubt that’s why I missed this as I got 225×2 a few weeks ago.
pull-ups used 8 lb db
FS- 105, 125, 135, 135
