121026

Today is our contest for best name for a competitive exerciser magazine!

Post names to comments. Winner gets to ask one stupid question without anyone ripping them a new one (unless it’s “What does UB mean?”).

Spencer has added insult to injury (literally) by playing silly games with his two good elbows. All this has done is remind me that youth and stupidity always beats wisdom and skill. Here’s his 165# “No-Hands” Clean & Jerk:

  1. Spencer’s video is about the coolest crossfit video I’ve ever seen (though Nasty Girls is still my sentimental favorite).

  2. Herculean Leopard Memento, would be the name of my mag, because and normal name never got anyone anywhere.

    BTW. just got my outlaw t-shirt in the post, is this racoon hair on it? or a cat?

  3. Gotta give credit here. Spencer Moorman at Muscle Driver did this first… I am just a copycat. He could probably do more weight…

  4. Can someone give me some insight into where I should start with this training. I was following for three months, May, June and July but had to stop for a few months for a deployment. Should I start from the beginning of this phase, wait for the next phase or just jump in and start with 121026 WOD? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

  5. Aw fuck, I hate to ask this without even giving a magazine name, but

    on BBG 1 & 2 is the 80% of our snatch/CJ or snatch balance and push jerk? The only reason I ask is because in prior weeks you provided a link to what we should be basing off of; I will use that number unless I hear otherwise. Thanks Coach!

    PS: my magazine would be a CrossFit parallel to MAD magazine and contain all the idiotic shit CF-ers do (e.g. the images posted the other day) and it would be called: D-Bag Mag!

  8. Wasn’t even close to completing the required sets at the required % (if it was based of our full 1RM snatch & cj) so I started over with a little lighter weight and still had to add more rest time.

    “Snatches & BJs” however, somewhere that may already exist

  13. I don’t care what the name of the publication is, but if doesn’t come with a “Snatch of the Month” centerfold, it’s losing readers across many demographics.

    2) 225# hit them all

    2 rounds+8 box jumps

    every time box jumps come up i think of Epic’s hilarious post on them.

  17. 1) hihang snatch- 135 scaled to extremely light bc of right shoulder. Was supposed to be at 188
    2) 185, scaled bc of shoulder- supposed to be at 220
    Cond- only did 1 min of snatch w left arm only- 26, 18, amrap- 3rds +14 pushups

  18. Did my maxes for Saturday today as I will be out of town…

    Snatched 186 (my technique is still way out front, could definitely pull over 205)

    Clean n Jerk 250! Finally. This was my goal for the 2012 year and was stuck at 215 until I found Outlaw in early August…35lb jump in 2 months, not bad. Thanks Rudy.

  19. I just started Oulaw this week, following the workouts posted, and I just want to say I love it. I never realized how much I love Snatches and how full body they are. I did today’s workout about 2 hours ago, I am just whooped. I can’t wait to see the results in the time to come.

    lol, I loved the CK 40 year old skit the other day. Ouuu!

    1) 85kg (187#)- skipped the snatch balance. Not great at lowering that kind of weight to shoulders and both on the 30s is no joke. wow
    2) 110kg (242#) – was heavy but manageable. the last few front squats hurt a bit but helped train to jerk while fatigued.

    Metcon:
    50 kbs
    +
    2 rounds + 8 + 16 + 18pu: pushups were difficult
    +
    35 kbs: didn’t feel like picking up the kb on this one. grip became an issue and got a little weak mentally.

  21. 1)snatch complex all done at 108#
    2)clean complex all done at 153#

    Conditioning:

    Backs been hurtin bad, had to put kb down once each 2 min bc I was so tight.

  22. BBG
    110#
    155#
    I missed quite a few of these lifts, especially as time went on. I’m assuming this is because I wasn’t dropping quick enough under it as got tired? Opinions welcome.

    • I always liked “In Omnia Paratus”, but you would have to put the translation below it for noobs. Im so original.

      The ‘snatch of month’ could be in the mag: “Large Loads, Long and Fast”.

  29. BBG:
    1) Based on 165# –> 130#, lowered to 125#, no fails, but had a few reps where I took a step forward to keep balance.
    2) Based on 205# –> 165#, no fails.

    Conditioning:
    24 Reps (Total)
    3 Rounds + 4 Reps
    18 Reps (Total)

    Fun workout today. The snatch part was by far the hardest. On conditioning, the lunges were the worst, until the 3rd round of push-ups, that took me nearly 2 minutes to complete. Arms were blown up.

  30. BB Gymnastics
    1. 155 x 5, 165 x 5
    2. 200 x 10

    Conditioning

  31. Snatch: 105 missed first and last balance
    Clean 150 all good

    2+8/16
    24

    Don’t know why I got more the second time than the first, I just had a better flow going the second time around.

  32. BBG

    Um, so about those percentages… Had to drop a bit and it still sucked. Glad other people felt the same.

    1) 185# with some misses. Did OHS after the snatch because I have trouble lowering that much weight to my shoulders.
    2) 225# with no misses but fuck that was hard.

    Conditioning

    1) Snatch @ 180 … missed a few to start, started over, no misses

    Sucked it up today. Form struggling, not really the weight.

  36. BBG:
    1) @ 65kg (9:30 min) 2 misses
    2) @ 80kg (8:20 min) no misses

    Conditioning:
    52 Sn (alternating arms: 10r+10l+10r+10l+5r+7l)
    3 rounds + 8 lat box jumps + 6 Lunges
    28 Snatches (alternating arms: 10r+10l+4r+4l)

  37. Felt pretty burnt out from Fran. Went into the gym a little lethargic. Id say I was around a 5/6/6
    Most of the soreness was carried in my left shoulder and wrist. Warmed up, tried a few snatches. Felt terrible. Slow, Unstable and just like a flaccid dick in general. Cancel the Snatches

    Clean and Jerk: 245 Across all sets. This served as a pretty good warm up for the shoulders so I decided to re attempt the snatches. I bumped the weight down to 135 (from 155) and did it.
    Snatch: 135 Across all sets.

    Need to improve my warm-up

    Conditioning:
    60 (30 Each arm, sets were:15 each, 10 each, 5 each)

    8 Minute AMRAP:
    3 Rounds plus 8 BJ’s+16 Steps+1 Pushup (169)

    31 KB Snatches (10 each, 5 each, one on the left)

    This one shook me to my foundations. Worse than Fran and DT. Don’t know what caused it, but I had to lay down for a good 15 minutes afterwards just to collect myself. Tough day.

    But, I love it…hence the reason I will be back tomorrow. Can’t wait to visit in December.

  38. Drilled form down today with all BB gymnastics with a certified trainer. Did not log weight but definitely feel more comfortable with the loft movement.
    Conditioning:
    34 snatches had to use 50lbs DB
    2 rounds +8bjs+16 ohl+10HR pushup
    27 snatches

  39. I went away for the weekend so I did this a day late on Sunday night..

    1) 70kg for all sets. Failed the 8th rep on the snatch (got lazy)
    2) 90kg for all sets. Completed

    These get hard due to the short rest time. My lower back was tightening up too..

    Conditioning

    Subbed 24inch Box jumps due to equipment
    Used a 20kg barbell instead of plate for OHWL

    36 snatches
    3 rounds + 5 box jumps
    32 snatches

    tough work! very short breaks so I was happy about this.
