I’ve been implored by TOW’s chief admin (a.k.a. the answerer of all the Info emails), Mady Schlenz, to write a brief summary of our layout for the season. For those of you who have been around for a while, I apologize, it’ll be back to the nerdery tomorrow. For those of you who are fairly new, and haven’t taken the time to read back through a year of posts, hopefully this will answer your questions (and give Mady some rest).

1) Now until the beginning of the Open.

Yes, this site is programmed with the Games season in mind (sorry, you’ll have to figure out tapering for the Sheboygan Throwdown on your own). No, you DO NOT need to add or subtract any conditioning, lifting or anything else to be ready for the Open.

Over the next 4 weeks we will begin to wave down the volume of the “focused lifts” (lifts performed separately and not used as part of conditioning), and begin to spread the total volume of lifts back into conditioning pieces. We will also be adding in more sport-specific skill work (think HSPU/Muscle-Ups), as well as, upping the overall scope of our conditioning work to be more representative of things we may see. We will, as always, continue to lift, get strong, and develop as much mastery of barbell work as is possible.

2) The Open.

Yes, everything programmed during this period will be with the time of season in mind.

The Open workouts will comprise our site Conditioning work every Friday during the Open.

Open workout days and weeks will be just like any other days and weeks. There will be other regular work on Open workout days. I will not write specific de-loads or skill practices for these workouts. I will make sure to not write any 45 minute Chippers on Wednesdays, and I will be trying to insure that each of you feel as rested and fresh as possible for your Friday efforts. I will NOT program for 2nd attempts or repeats. If you feel the need to repeat one of the Open workouts you may use our rest day on Sunday. This has been done by some of our athletes in the past, and usually allows the athlete to not completely ruin the next week of training.

3) Between the Open and Regionals.

I’m not even going to attempt to summarize this right now. There will be more information posted far enough in advance that all Regional competitors will know what to expect.

  2. Sounds awesome looking forward to it.
    Question- with all the Australian followers will the workout be released any earlier as its 4pm Monday here and I know a lot of people train in the am. Most of us follow 1 week behind now but will this work coming into the open?

    • Mason, and all the Aussies (and Kiwis), I actually will add this to the post in the morning as I forget it tonight (thanks for the reminder)…

      For the next week or two follow a day behind the cycle that starts 130204 (aka today). I know this will be a pain for a bit, but I am working on a way to get the work posted on time for you guys and it WILL be in place at least a week before the Open starts.

    Hello amraps…

  12. Great site! It’s nice to finally see good programming incorporated into the otherwise randomness of some of the other CrossFit sites. I look forward to following you. Quick question – and sorry for being a total noob – but I noticed the WODs on this blog are a bit more comprehensive than the WODs on Outlaw’s main site. Is there a reason for this? Just curious which I should be following. Thanks in advance and keep up the great work.

      • Thanks, saw this after I finished up. I ended up doing 95lb thrusters. I either severely overcompensated or am just in bad shape. Barely finished four rounds and took a break after each round.

        1a) 15(PR), 9, 7 (fell off wall early on last two sets)
        2b) substituted

        Conditioning
        4 rounds
        *substitutes 95lb thruster for wallballs

        • 95# thruster is a bit overkill for tossing a 20# ball ten feet in the air. Go to Walmart and buy a Spalding Mid size basketball for like $10, cut it open, then fill it up with 20# of sand. Once it has sand in it, stuff it with plastic grocery bags until the ball maintains shape. Seal it up with a roll of gorilla tape. Boom.

    Seriously folks, just post your damn scores. If you really feel shitty, denote so with with one of the “M/F/S” variables and be done with it. Stop pining for attention.

    • Agree, also enough with this body weight bull shit. I am a lighter guy too but this is not a weight class sport, either get bigger, get stronger, or shut up.

    I was sucking wind hard on this. I hope it was so hard because my legs are so fatigued from saturday but i had to switch to singles for the power cleans on round 2 and i had to start breaking up wall balls round 3.
