WOD 120616:

BB Gymnastics

1) 7X1 Snatch off High Blocks – heaviest possible with near perfect technique, rest as needed DEMO VIDEO
2) 7X1 Clean off High Blocks – heaviest possible with near perfect technique, rest as needed DEMO VIDEO


Strength

7X3 High Bar Back Squat @ 70-80% – rest 90 sec.

Notes: Increase load every set. Percentage is based off 1RM HBBS or 90% of 1RM LBBS.

Conditioning

5 rounds for total run time and total reps of:

Sprint 200m
ME UB Thrusters @ 155/105#

Rest 1:1

Notes: ME = Max Effort. UB = Unbroken. Now don’t fucking ask again. Take no more than 15 sec. after the run to pick up the barbell. Once the barbell is in the front rack the set begins. The goal is do do as many reps as possible, each round, without dropping the bar. Once the BB drop below the front rack the set is over. Resting in the front rack or overhead is acceptable, anything or anywhere else is not.

  1. In both the high block Clean and Snatch, I thought you start the movement with your shoulders aligned with the bar.

    In the demonstration videos it seems his shoulder are quite ahead of the bar.

    Just want to clarify – So it is ahead of the bar? This will help the transition on becoming vertical in the pocket = generating power.

    did I just answer my own question?

    • just goes to show that crossfit has its own share of self-important deuche bags. i own a box and if someone wanted to do outlaw or football or whatever, i would just require that they stay out of the way of the classes during class time. otherwise, do what you want. there are better places out there.

    • You’re not alone. We had a massive uprising as we had an open gym and we did outlaw. Made gains, then owner goes and gets opt cert and says outlaw isn’t welcome. 20 of us left and we are opening our own place.

      TL;DR- haters gon hate.

      • Thx for the support guys. The best option may be to just find a basement or warehouse and buy my own stuff. Make an Outlaw Zurich gym. If anybody is in the continental Euro area and knows some good decently priced equipment suppliers, i’d love to hear.

    • This is just crazy – here you have a coach that has like dozen people going to the games and loads more on the blog reporting increases in fitness. Not to mention if anyone of these coaches read the doctrine and actually followed the links, the programming is based off a lot, A LOT of learning and education about, er, exercise programming. Damnit that sounded retarded, but I hope I made my point. To combine methodology from conjugate, pripelin, etc… just genius in my opinion and the results speak for themselves.

      I’ve noticed recently that on Facebook I am seeing a lot of CF coaches/gyms post notes that give the following general impression:

      “CrossFit works. There is no such thing as a magic, genius programming model or coach, if you do crossfit anyway you will get fitter blah blah blah ”
      While probably partially true, you will also develop unbalanced and possibly injury prone fitness. To say such things as “programming is not important in crossfit” is tantamount to saying you are a fucking idiot that should be euthanized. here we go, imagine you walk into any educational setting, like say a classroom or a gym, just sayin’, and the educator says, ok, today, class, I’m going to pull some random shit out of my ass. You will do it. you will get smarter, magically. Oh what’s that you say, lesson plan, research on the topic, fuck that. who needs that. All those other educators that preceded me and made a bunch of people smart (or fit) well they didn’t really get it.

      I feel like a lot of these folks on FB/Twitter that say “there’s no such thing as a magical programming genius or whatev are directing at OUTLAWers. I guess if you get kicked out of a CF gym or any gym for following a well thought out, structured, periodized and results driven exercise program then you have just found out that you were in the wrong gym to begin with.

      CF Gwinnett, like I said is open to OUTLAWers. That’s for damn sure!

  4. Snatches: 175 (felt like it finished out front, but got it), 175 miss threw it behind me, 175, 180 missed out front again, 180, 185, 190 Still working on bringing hips through bar while controlling bar path on the way under.

    Cleans: 215, 225, 235, 240, 240, 245, 250 Still feels like meeting bar too low on thigh and bumping it away from hips at ext. Will try setting knees further back and chest out over bar. on box set-up

    Squats: 260, 265, 270, 275, 280, 285, 290 Best my squats have felt since…. before the Regional WODs were announced.

    No conditioning – maybe later

    • I have the same issue. I passed on the cleans today because catching 135 was killing me. Have you done any sort of treatment that has helped it?

    • I skinned my collar bone earlier in the week. Since I was missing skin and really would like for it to heal, I folded up a small towel and inserted it between the straps of my sports bra. Still felt the abrasion, but did not break the scab.

    I worked up to 7 snatches @ 95# off the high blocks. Also did 7 @125# Clean & Jerks. Felt like I could have done more early in the workout, but was “ugly catching” 125 by set #6.

    7 sets of 3 at 175# HIgh bar back squats.

    Conditioning: 200m/105 Thrusters. All rounds under 2 minutes. 200m runs got faster as they went along, except for the last one. Thrusters were 6 each round, except for the first one where I squat cleaned it and stood up with it instead of thrustering it up. Brain fart.

    BTW, I am a Masters competitor.

  30. BB Gym

    Snatch – Worked up to 80kg (PR for any sort of snatch)
    Clean – Worked up to 100kg (PR from high boxes)

    Snatches felt great, but Cleans felt not so great. Skipped on the jerk because of dinky feeling shoulders today..

    Strength

    Back Squat – 7 x 3 x 145kg. These didn’t feel that great either. Got them done easily enough though. Im feeling a little bit fatigued from deadlifts yesterday (didn’t have bands so I did approx 75% for each double on the deads. Not my best idea..

    Conditioning

    Total work time = 12-13 minutes

    Thrusters – 5, 6, 7, 5, 10

    These didn’t feel too bad at all, only the last round went to absolute all out effort. I should’ve tried harder on the earlier rounds.
    To be fair, my “sprints” on the last 2 rounds were only a touch faster than my normal running pace, I find it so hard to run when puffed.

    Fun day.

  31. Felt like a BAG OF DICKS on everything!

    Failed on a couple of snatches which were way lighter than my doubles on Monday so put me in a bad place. Trying to man the fuck up today and not expect miracles after 1 week of this type of loading. Mental game work needed.

    Bring on Monday…

  33. Suck me Sunday…I may be the worst Oly lifter on Earth.

    Sn – 205lb
    Cl – 285lb

    No Squats – Still laying off Heavy until Monday from Cleanse.

    6/6/6/6/6 on thrusters. Weight not issue, I can’t not get comfortable in the rack position on mod/heavy thruster loads. One rep isn’t an issue, but having to keep that good rack position for me is a struggle.

    This is what I need though, would never have programmed this for myself.

    Thank you.

    Snatch – 135-145-155-165-175-180-185 – Wow! Matched my current PR (off the ground)so I was very happy with this. Was only shooting for 175.

    Clean – 185-205-225-235-242.5-250-235 – Wow again! 5lbs under my all time PR (off the ground) and wasnt sure what to shoot for on this but didnt think I’d really get passed 240.

    Did squats yesterday.

    Conditioning –

    Not sure my run times but total running time each set was –

    1 – 1:24/8 reps

    3 – 1:16/7
    4 – 1:11/7
    5 – 1:12/7

    My reps were unbroken, with momentum so I didnt rest on my chest or anything, if I couldnt keep going I’d drop it. It made for a gasser…
