Many weekends pass with absolutely nothing to get excited about. Nobody sends me videos of PRs, podium pictures, or stays out until 4am doing ridiculous dance moves while drinking BP under the table (Spencer – true story). This weekend, was NOT one of those weekends (actually, I can’t say that, I wasn’t with Spencer). There are so many things to post that I’ll have to spread it out over the next few days, or else you’ll fall asleep before you get to the workout. Here’s a few highlights…

BP and Sarabeth Phillips both won the Pensacola Beach Brawl, then they gave us a pic that Sarabeth will probably want to use on her Christmas cards.

Mike Holmes did a 130kg (286#) Bear Complex at the inov-8 4 Nations. He already had the event won the event by 7.5kg—he did this one for the Queen.

Patrick Kelly sent me this:

Rudy-

Just wanted to say thanks for your programming. A group of us at Crossfit Denver/South Denver have been doing it for about 4 months now, and it has made huge improvements for all of us. Today, we picked up our first team comp win. Attached a photo for you. Hopefully the first of many, can’t wait till the Open.

There are not enough words in the English language to describe how happy this video makes me. This is Johnny Medina, AGAIN, with another Snatch PR of 215#. Let me remind you; Johnny is 17yo, he weighs around 150#, and he lifts in Chuck’s in a garage. He also has badass plugs, and makes me hope I can someday experience the same joy he has after completing this lift.

LIFT. LIKE. JOHNNY.

WOD 121001:

BB Gymnastics

1) Snatch: 2X2 @ 65%, 2X1 @ 70%, 2X1 @ 80%, 2X1 @ 90%, 4X1 @ 70% – rest 60-90 seconds for the sets through 90%, rest 30 seconds between reps for the final set.
2a) 3X5 Snatch Hi-Pulls – heavy, rest 60 sec.

Notes: The finish of the movement should be at or near chest height. If this is not possible, lower the load.

2b) 3X5 Non-Heaving Drop Snatch – heavy but fast, rest 60 sec.

Notes: Feet start in the receiving position. There should be no upward movement of the barbell. Drop, and press yourself down with the bar.

Skill

10 minutes HS Walk & HS Walk turning practice.

Notes: If you are fairly proficient, set up cones or something to turn around. Set them up no more than 10′ apart and attempt to turn in both directions. If you are not proficient simply practice walking.

Conditioning

5 rounds for time:

25 Jumping Squats @ 45# DEMO VIDEO
20 KB Push Press @ 24/16kg (2 KBs/2 arms)
15 Pullups

  1. 2 questions about the Conditioning:
    1) Do you want us to go to depth on the jump squats like the video?
    2) Is it 5 rounds for time? It currently states “for total working time” which I thought was when each round was timed…Thanks

  3. So because of school all week and work on weekends, I don’t get to post much anymore because my days rarely match up with the work. Anyway last Sun I PR’d my Snatch by 5 # and hit 165#. Today I did this Sat work (Sun night) and PR’d my Snatch again by 15# I hit 180# FUCK YEA….. no Johnny but I’m seein some good progress…. Thanks Rudy, no vid but it was a solid Snatch, probably best form I’ve ever had, I think I sat in the hole for like 5 fuckin minutes cause I couldn’t believe it.

    • I live across the bridge in Mt Pleasant and work out of my garage. Have a lot of gear so if you don’t find a box feel free to send me an email. Catch is I work nights so usually work out around noon. You are welcome to come sat/sun 1030-1400.

  5. I was hoping to take things up a gear today from the outlaw main to outlaw way. However, torn ligaments in my ankle mean I am having to be creative on these. I guess we’ll see how it goes.

  6. Quick question. Hope coach dont kill me. Live in a small village in Spain, small gym, but all i have for about a year, cant snatch in there as have to always control the bar. Been taking note of Outlaw for a while now and gonna start doing it in the gym. Substitute for snatch? Do snatch light so always can control the bar, do with dumbells, or other exercise completely. Hope this aint to dumbass Noob question, just stuck in a rut!!

  7. BBG- Done based off of 205

    2a) 205 for all
    2b) 135/95/95 -buddy said I was heaving on the first set so I dropped down

    Skill work – Done with 10ft segment, worked on turns

    Conditioning – 13:11

  10. BBG
    1-complete
    2a-135#
    2b-95# found it hard to drop without ANY upward movement. Maybe too light? My snatch is 145# (dont laugh it’s coming along)

    Skill- this should have been called look like a bitch for me. I did a couple sets of 3 and a couple of 2 with some 60s holds but no freestanding work cause I’m a bitch. Need to get on top of this.

    Conditioning: 22:31 did strict pulls but hit the wall HARD in the third round then things got better after that.

  12. I have a completely random question. I have been following the program for around 5 months now and absolutely love it. My question is regarding weight gain. Has anyone seen an increase in their weight? If looking to put some weight on, can someone just tweak their diet and continue following the program as usual, or would other adjustments need to be made. Please don’t laugh. I compete in a certain weight class and am looking to move up. Thanks!

    • In my opinion there is plenty of stimulus here to promote growth/weight gain. If you find it hard to gain weight, you just gotta eat like its your second job. Take your eating as seriously as your training.

  13. Good job everyone on the PR’s and winning everything.
    Also, any Outlaws competing in the Black Sheep Invitational (So. UT) at the end of Oct?

  15. First week back at the full program after having my knee scoped this summer, doing what I can and starting slow… Kinda haha

    BBG – Based off 200# max, all squat snatches, no misses, near perfect

    2a) 245# for all sets
    2b) 85#, still working on confidence and stability in the bottom of the overhead position

    Skill – figured out turning around pretty well!!

    Conditioning – Rx’d @ 19:31… Crappy time I know but I gotta start somewhere!!!

  16. Great Work this weekend Outlaws. I wish I could have sent in a podium photo from my competition this weekend. My team only placed 11th. Still, we’ve had continuous improvement and had a competitive field full of regional qualifiers. At least our awesome attitude got us on the cover of the tourney’s photo alubum.

    Here’s me making 185# look heavy as fuck on my 100th rep or so. (We did destroy any and every motion on the day with a barbell)

  17. BBG:
    1. Done based off of 235#
    2a. 200#
    2b. 135#, 135#, 145#

    Skill:
    22 meters then worked turns for the first time

    Conditioning:
    a slow 18:58

  19. 1) 105 – 115-130-145-115
    2a) 155
    2b) 100

    HS Walk made it 12-15 feet at one point, PR for me.

    Cond 4 rds. + 26 reps in 25 min. time cap. This was humbling.

  20. BBGym:
    1) Done off of 155#
    2a) 115
    2b) 115, 95, 95

    Skill: no time

    Conditioning:
    -Treated this more like “strength and conditioning” but kept moving the whole time. I only have one KB and one BB, so I had to load the bar with 105# after the jumping squats. Also did strict ring pull ups.
    32:28

    M/F/S
    4/2/1

  21. ? Did the conditioning with 16kg to keep up intensity. I could have completed with 24kg but probably would have taken longer than 20min. So is it better to use rx weight and slower times or keep the workout around the 12-15min time domain and scale load appropriatly? Thanks

  22. BBG:
    1) 2×2@130, 2×1@140, 2×1@160, 2×1@180, 4×1@140lbs

    2b) 95lbs

    Skill:
    Did a little bit but cut it short today

    CON:
    11:20 – just 4 rounds and 45lb DBs subbed for the KB pushpress

    4/3/6 – back is still really sore from last week, mostly feel it at the bottom of squats.

  23. BBG:
    1) 2×2@130, 2×1@140, 2×1@160, 2×1@180, 4×1@140lbs

    2b) 130, 140, 150×3

    Skill: Complete

    CON:
    12:53 used 24kg KB for one round then switched to the 16

    2/2/2

  24. First off I am made up to make it onto here on a video alongside people like BP, T and Elisabeth. Thank you. And it wasn’t for the queen – it was for the showmanship!
    Felt like I was lifting in treacle warming up today but then it got easier and faster

    swimming practice later today

    M-F-S

    5-5-8

  31. BBG: 1)75–80-90-105 (Failed)-80lbs. Have been working a lot on technique lately and all these rules really get into way of lifting heavier so far, but form and speed on light weights increased a lot.
    2a) 115/145/135lbs
    2b) 45/45/65lbs. That was really scary to make and really hard to drop without heaving.

    Skills: done. Can’t make walk, so tried just to do handstand balance off the wall.

    Conditioning: made CF class.

  32. I possibly have the worst snatch in the world – anyone mind critiquing my whopping 95# snatches, bar path looks decent enough.

    You can’t see it, but the second lift my feet went WAY too wide. Third one felt okay, not great, but okay.

    Thanks!

    • for starters, you need to use your hips with more aggression and violence. also those are all power snatches. i would drop the weight until you can hit full depth on your catch 🙂 then just keep following Outlaw and fixing your technique. You will improve weekly.

  33. BBG:

    1.) 65% 140, 70% 150, 80 % 170, 90% 190, 70% 150
    2a.) 160#
    2b.) 135#

    Skill: Did 1 HS walk for 10 ft every minute for 10 min.

    Conditioning:

    19:34 – This was a lot harder than I expected! Push press always get me.

    3/3/5

  35. I decided to start your program for the first time. I heard about your workouts from a friend at work. This is Day 1. There is no progress without process. LET’S GO!!!

    BBG:
    1) 2×2@88lbs, 2×1@110lbs, 2×1@130lbs, 2×1@130lbs, 4×1@110lbs
    2a) 154lbs
    2b) 176lbs

    Skill: Completely sucked at this! First time doing it. Will keep working at it.

    Conditioning: 23:20 did strict pull-ups. Have to learn how to do that whole kipping thing.

    Can’t wait for my Day 2

  36. 1st day on outlaw: did the wrong skill:
    Skill: Don’t have rack outside and can’t do jerks inside, so had to C&J every rep. Got to 205 by the time 15 mins was up. Def not a PR.

    Conditioning: 29:56 with one 35# kb and one 50# kb, and a pullup bar across the yard that spins and have to climb a ladder to get to. It started raining in the middle of round 5 and I took everything inside and finished with crap partial presses(low ceiling) and strict pullups.

    In other words, my time is meaningless.

  37. BBG
    1. % off 300# felt like a boss today. Everything was smooth and very powerful. Blasted 270# up twice with no problems.
    2a) 185
    2b) 185

    Skill: walked a few steps a handful of times. Getting better at freestanding handstands mostly.

    2b) 40, 50, 60

    HS walks: mostly free standing HS, finally got a feeling for moving and made some good progress steps. Before it was just momentum and trying to keep up; I guess that might be called “pose HS walking” except I actually fall.

    Conditioning: no idea of my time, somewhere around the 14-15 mark. We all started staggered due to only having one set of (different) 24kg KBs. We still ended up overlapping a ton. Good day though.

  41. Snatch – done off of 107.5kg max

    2a. 200lbs
    2b. 135lbs

  80. Should we be putting a 12 min cap on these conditioners? I read somewhere that we should be but some of these seem really hard to do in only 12 minutes.

  81. I am sure someone else will chime in, but In my mind, I think scaling should be done BEFORE putting a time cap on the workout. Change the weights to allow you to do all the work with out dragging the workout into the 20-25 minute range.To me, finishing a set number of rounds and reps is better then struggling with weights that are too heavy. Plus, the goal is maintaining intensity, so if the 55 lb push presses become a strength workout, drop the weight.

    …or I could be wrong. I haven’t drank my coffee.

    25 Jumping Squats @ 45# DEMO VIDEO
    20 KB Push Press @ 24/16kg (2 KBs/2 arms)
    15 Pullups

    WOD killed my shoulders and I quit after 3.5 rounds as I felt my shoulder feel tweakish. Scaled the KB down to 44# after the first round of using 53#. And my clock got reset so probably part of the reason why I quit. Meh. I also did Justine WOD from the gym at 6am… O.o Did it in 5:48 which is lots slower than my last PR of 5:09 @ http://crossfitpete.wordpress.com/2012/05/23/oly-cycle-2-may-23rd-2012-day-3/

    Also following a week behind.

  91. Snatch – Based off o 185lbs (some misses probably because i skipped off day due to missing wod 2 days ago felt weak overhead)

    Snatch pulls- 215lbs could go heavier but it was still intense
    Drops- 95, 105, 105 Sad to say but 105 about right weight

    Cond- 3 Rounds did not time because had to get wife icecream believe it or not. The deal because I work out so late and they were about to close.
