No, this is not necessarily what yesterday’s Snatch complex was supposed to look like, but damn is this heavy. This is Chad Kibbey, from CrossFit Shifted, with 100kg (220#). Side note: Chad felt bad about not catching the second lift power, so he went ahead and did 5 OHS @ 220#… Cute.

    Snatch 62.5kg, 65 (fail), 65 (fail) need to get under the bar faster

    done @ 85 kg tough but felt good

    started with 20kg

    managed one very slow first round
    legs were smoked, might try it again tomorrow

    M/F/S 3/5/6 felt great at the start but just ran out of gas at the end

  2. On these 1 and 1/4 front squats and the front squats with a pause, do you want a bounce out of the bottom or regular tempo/no bounce? Some times it is specific, others not so much. I am assuming that since our goal is overall strength out of the bottom then the regular tempo/no bounce option is the way to go. Help a brother out.

    • You can bounce out of the bottom just make sure to always get past parallel for your 1/4 squat up and not just a shitty double bounce.

  28. Did not do BB today cause after my first complete week of Outlaw there is no power left in my shoulder. Could not snatch 90# for OHS when had regular Crossfit class and could not push jerk 110#, so decided that I will just skip this part without getting frustrated about me being weak. Though at least got my OHS PR for 5reps: 110#.
    Strength: 110#
    Conditioning: 26:17min.
    After reading Talayna’s article about this WOD, decided to be no hero and break get it done, no matter what, although I never quit WOD. My knees were literally smoking afterwards.

    C&J – tied my 1rm from last weeked with 225, hit a 230 clean but missed the jerk

    front squats – 205, all good lifts

    subbed angie instead of “comin at ya like a spider monkey” cuz my left shoulder was feeling pretty tweaked after the oly lifts. Ended up PR’ing on Angie by 1:21 with a time of 9:11. “…and I stand by my performance.” – Harry Dunn

    • Settle down mate.

      I realised that my (slightly injured) wrists and knees are feeling crap – and that doing 140 reps of Overhead Squats is not the best idea for them.
      In keeping with the spirit of the workout (muscular fatigue on the shoulders being a main point) I decided to substitute a movement that would get a similar effect.
      No I didn’t do it as RX’ed, but that’s not the be all and end all.
      You may see it as being a pussy, I see it as training intelligently. Each to their own

  35. Today was super rushed because I had to get into the gym to help move; we are moving CF Gwinnett from a 1000sqft facility to one that has almost 4000 sq ft usable space. 🙂

    Snatch: I felt this today; widened my grip a little and that seems to be causing less wrist pain, which has been a debilitating factor. Numbers are still in the range of an 11 year wheelchair bound child, but whatev: Nailed 80, fast, caught in the hole. I almost lost it because i was so shocked I was in the hole. Then decided that was easy and jumped to 88, fail. Well, actually I caught it but fell to my knee, that feels great this morning. backed of to 84 and had just lost intensity. So 80 for the day.

    CJ: worked up to 115 (3kg off PR), cleaned 120, barely missed the jerk. Then decided to keep working the jerk and worked up to a 10kg PR @ 130. 🙂

    Skipped squats (TIME)

    Did three rounds of conditioning before having to leave. It sucked and my shoulders are sore after only three rounds so I can only imagine how everyone else if feeling. Damn spider monkeys! LOL

  38. Back for another Saturday. I know you all can be hard on noobs so please don’t flame me for the long post.

    1RM Snatch 130 (5# PR) missed with 135.

    I’m okay with this. I started doing outlaw crossfit on June 14th. I had a 17 day layoff from everything in July. I had never done a power snatch prior to switching to Outlaw and had only recently started doing any power cleans. I’m 6′-0″ and have gone from a weak 185lbs to a slightly less weak 180lbs following the other side of the site.

    1RM Clean and jerk 175#. 185# miss. I had a previous PR of 185# but looking at the video realized it wasn’t close to being legit. No squat on the catch and lots of press. Despite this I’m not happy with it. My form is shit. I’m pulling with the arms very early which explains the tendonitis in my right elbow that is really starting to kick my ass. If I don’t fix my form soon I’m going to be out of commission for awhile.

    Can someone please teach my how to do a proper effing power clean?

    Strength and conditioning. Did my own stuff today to prep for an Army APFT next weekend. I don’t usually do this but needed it today just to make sure I’m mentally comfortable next weekend. I’ll spare you those details. It’s the least I can do.

    Thank you Outlaw for keeping the other side of the site going. It fits my schedule well, never fails to challenge me (code for kick my ass), and I’m making some great gains on it. Can’t wait to see the new site and programming.

  39. Snatch – 205, 220, 240(f) pull felt good, didn’t drop fast enough and it turned into ugly failed power snatch.
