(Sorry, I know you guys are over this by now). The final dates of the World Tour will be announced on Monday the 13th, and will go live Tuesday morning at 9AM EST. It’s not that I don’t want to put them up tonight, it’s just that they’re not exactly all finalized. We, here at Outlaw Industries, take pride in professionalism over everything, and how would it look if I announced a date in Senegal, when it may actually be in Toledo. That would be like posting the Outlaw gym WOD on The Way, and then sleeping past 7am for the first time in years, while you all have to decide whether to hang yourselves with piano wire or rope. Yep, that’d be really stupid.
Grow a mullet.

Actually did this is EMOM this week. Still not at 90%. Should have gone heavier as this wasn’t as bad as I expected.
Conditioning
Did a CFFB WOD from earlier in the week.
bbg- snatch- terrible today. I couldn’t even hit 205 once
cnj- 275# PR by 10# fucking pumped
strength- 285 super easy. Feel way better than low bar squats.
conditioning- 13:55. deads sucked. this workout was just a huge kick in the nuts. really really hard.
hit 20 ub muscle ups like an hour after which has been a goal of mine for a while. overall a good day other than the snatches.
BBG
Snatch- Hit 140lbs for a 5lb PR.. Snatch feels like its getting better and better, still needs some work but 10x’s better than before i started Outlaw
C&J- Hit 175lbs for a 5lb PR, then hit 180lbs right after for a 10lb PR… Hit both of these on the first try which surprised me, still not nowhere near close to where i wanna be but getting there.
Strength- Done at 275.. This is the only lift i dont feel i am progressing at on Outlaw, most likely because i was used to doing them heavy twice a week on CFFB or something.. 275 felt pretty heavy for me, but also dont know my 1rm lol, i kinda guesstimated but i did hit all reps.
Conditioning- Completed in 17:15, holy shit that sucked.. I almost didnt do this today, but i told myself to quit being a bitch and do it lol.. Definetly not as Rx’d scaled the deads to 285 and some of the other movements like T2b to 20 reps cause im not really efficient at those yet.. I was ripping the deads until i got to like rep 9 and was like OH shit these suck.
Question for you guys that finished this in under 15 or so minutes, especially Adam who did it in 12:25.. Did yawl do it Rx’d? Just wondering i have only been Crossfitting for about 4 months or so and can usually hang in the Metcons, sometimes i may scale 4kg or something on the Kb’s but my times are usually pretty consistent with everybody else other than the Firebreathers of course but just curious… Also noticed there arent alot of comments today so maybe only the Elite did it and everybody else said screw that shit haha!!!
Snatch: 210 PR
Cln&jrk: 240
No strength
10 min cap on conditioning. Got to sit ups
BBG.
1) 185#, 210# Missed x 3 would have been a 5# PR but my back is still feeling it from yesterday.
2) Skipped
Strength.
335#
Conditioning.
Box jumps were at 33″ and since I don’t have a rower in the garage I swam 50 Meters instead of the 20 cal row.
16:00 Flat. SUCKED SUCKED SUCKED
Still no Olympic lifting for me. Another week or two and my wrists should be good, I think. At least it’s giving me some time to work on my squats.
Strength
HBBS 425 EASY.
Conditioning
13:39 – Had to do 135# Push Press because I don’t have dumbbells. Wasted about 45s switching weight from deadlifts to push presses. Deads felt hard for some reason today though, and burpee box jumps just suck.
1a)125
b)150
Backsquats at 195
Conditioning 15:36 rx except subbed 1 pood kb for 35 db, and 15 lb plate for pistols. Sorry don’t have db… On wish list

2.) 114 kg. PR is 125 kg, easing me way back into full speed.

18:38
wasn’t able to do today’s work, in complete b/c i was competing at the piss-poorly organized GA State Games – seriously about 100 lifters, all weight classes in 1, yes ONE session that took no less than 7 hours to complete. Imagine waiting 10-12 minutes b/w lifts and an hour + between snatch and CJ – ridiculous.
that being said, I won gold in masters 94 with a measly 197kg total. missed my opening snatch and that got me down, really wanted 200kg total, but there’s always next time.
BP put up some nice numbers too!
BB Gym
Switched the order of the lifts around so I could focus on C&J at once
1) C&J – worked up to 115kg (2.5kg PR)
2) Snatch – worked up to 82.5kg (Equals PR)
Very happy with the Olympic lifts today, even though going into it I felt crap
I can’t wait to get my technique up to my strength levels!
Back Squats – Completed with 170kg. This was kinda tough, but I love High Bar Back Squat so it was good.
Conditioning will happen later on.
Conditioning – 17:19 (18:15 last time)
Subbed_
50kg Push Press for DB push press
Full rom situps for GHD sit ups
pistol squats to chair (approx parallel) for pistols
Slow grind but I made sure my rest breaks were short.
Snatch – 253(115kg)
C&J – 308(140kg) 8#PR
Back Squats @ 325
Conditioning – 16:47 SLOW
Squats – 285/300/305 for last rep and failed
Metcon:
27:29 – First workout in a week. Sucked.

BBG:
Snatch: Worked up to 185 (10LBS under PR)
Clean and Jerk: Worked to 275 (Old PR) Just couldnt get underneath 285. Ill try 280 next time, 20 Minutes expired before I could set it up.
Strength:
385lbs across all sets. Felt a little easy.
Conditioning: As RX’d:
14:38
Notes: Not too happy about the snatch. I want to blame the shitty equipment at the gym. But I think it is a lot of hesitation my end to get underneath the bar.
Strength was great. Squats are growing on me.
Conditioning: I rested a lot on the pistols. They were ugly. Held a 25lb bumber like a steering wheel in front and finagled by way to the bottom of the squat. First time with this one, and already looking forward to repeating it.
M/F/S
2/4/3
Damn. All my numbers are going backwards
Conditioning only – 22:16

Power Clean + Push Jerk: 195-215-235-245-255-265

No conditioning.
Worked lower percents on Snatches, Cleans, and Jerks from the rack. No back squats today.
Conditioning
21:30 RX
Torched my back. BUT I felt a lot more stable due to all the back strengthening stuff we’ve been doing. Fingers crossed soreness lasts for a couple days instead of the entire week…..
BBG: snuck this in during kids’ naps, so time limited. Spent 10 mins on each lift.
Snatch: 140 (5lb pr — v weak still but considering I couldn’t snatch at all when I started the program in Jan, not bad)
Clean & Jerk: 180 (f jerks on 185 and 195 cleans, f 205 clean)
Strength:
245
Conditioning: skipped, no time.
PR’d with 275lb on snatch (+5)…been tryin to get to that for along time! 300lb is next!
Matched clean/jerk PR @335lb then missed at 345lb…will get that soon!
Nice lift man, you should play Dropkicks everytime you go for a PR lol.
Haha amen to that! Thanks though, was pretty pumped!
Strength
225
Conditioning
11:08 (120403 was 11:48) – legs were toast at the end.
Snatch- 95, worked technique
C&J- 155
Strength- 180
Conditioning- 17:01, over a minute faster!
125 (10# under PR) – ran out of time, could have gone a little heavier
165 (failed on jerk)… Gettin there
Cond= 13:30 rx
BBG:
Snatch: 90, 95, 100f, 102.5fff. Closest I ever got to making 102.5. Caught it in the bottom but it was maybe a cm forward. Just slowly tipped over till I lost it.
C&J: 115, 120, 125, 130ff. Also feeling good. Pulled 130 pretty high and easily caught it both times. Just… could… not…. squat it. I even tried the ol’ BP Bounce and I couldn’t get it.
Squats:
147.5kg done. Wasn’t ever close to failing.
Conditioning:
15:49. Yup… a whole 31s faster than last time. I made it to the pistols at 11 minutes and some change. Thought I was gonna pull 14 or so. Dunno what happened.
Did the conditioning today after doing Monday’s BBG stuff. Back was still absolutely wrecked from deficit deads on Friday. The 20 DLs @ 315#, and everything thereafter, took entirely too long.
13:55
M/F/S – 4/5/7
New to “The Way” Here’s my results
Snatch = 95kg
C&J = 120kg
Squats = 147.5kg tough but got through ok

17:33 (last time was 22…) much better but still a lot of room for improvement.
m/f/s
4/4/4
Snatch – 175, 190(f), 190(f), 190(f)
C&J – 245, 260(f), 260(f), 260(f)
HBBS- 365 (made all reps but each one felt heavy!)
Cond- 27:00 I know very slow. Really struggled on the pistols and that took probably half the time since I really do not have them much less weighted. Everything else was tough but I moved through without any other major problems.
Went back in on Friday (won’t have time on Sat):
Snatch w-up to 84 kg (185), 60/2 ->81/2
84 87 90f 91 94f 94 96 98ff 99ff
Not PR (225 is my best) but I haven’t been able to get over 92 kg for awhile plus it’s nice to even attempt heavier weights – either CNS been fried or whatnot but I haven’t been willing to even try heavier weights.
C&J 60 to 95 by 5 kg jumps, then 98 to 125 kg (275) by 3 kg jumps. No misses
Back Squats @ 135 kg (297)
BBG:
1.) 155, 175xxo, 190, 205*PR, 210x

Conditioning:
17:24 w/30″hurdle subbed for Box
~ also not sure I did the pistols correctly I used two 25# DB’s one in each hand but after reading comments it looks like it maybe should have just been one?
