Today will be the first day of our squat cycle. I’m going to recommend that you all base your numbers off 90-95% of your 1rm. For those of you who were with us the last time we tested, go ahead and stick close to that 95%. For those who haven’t tested or squatted much lately, I’d recommend staying closer to that 90% number. DO NOT overestimate your 1rm. You will probably die if you do (not really kidding).
WOD 111227:
Strength
1) Back Squat: 1X10 @ 60%, 1X8 @ 70%, 1X6 @ 75%, 1X4 @ 80% – rest 2-3 min. between each set.
2a) 4X8 Strict Parallette HSPU – rest 60 sec.
Notes: Parallettes should be set anywhere between 20-24”. Begin with plates built up between parallettes to approximately 1” below height of parallettes (reference 2009 Games standard). If these are too difficult to finish the set of 8 (sets may be broken, but these should not be singles) then add more plates. If you can perform the set of 8 unbroken then take plates away to add difficulty.
2b) Front Squats: 1X5 @ 60%, 3X5 @ 70% – rest 60 sec.
Skill/Conditioning/Midline
4 rounds for reps/meters/weight of:
ME UB Chest to Bar Pullups

1 minute ME Row for Meters

1 minute Weighted Plank Hold

Welcome back, buddy. BP @ 250#:
I’m confused about the meaning of 2a and 2b. Are we to do 1 set of 2a and then do 1 set of 2b, or no?
ATD – Yes, FAQ is your friend.
Thanks, yo.
Touché.
BP!!!!! Haha!! KA-RA-TE
I took percentages off 95% off my 1-RM. I haven’t tested in a long time and the lifts felt good, so I’m sure my max is higher than before.
1. 140# x 10; 160# x 8; 175# x 6; 185# x 4
2a. set paralettes/plates to 22″ across, 1.5″ defecit. Since I cannot do htese strict yet, I used a red 25# band to help hoist my ass up
2b. 125# x 5; 3 sets of 145# x 5

2b. 165, 195
Only had time for 2 rounds, 24,14 on C2B; 318,295m; 25,45#
1) based off around 95% of 425 (not sure if this was going to be good for me, but stayed on the low end, may be able to go up a small fraction)
240, 280, 300, 320 (all felt smooth, deep and real strong)
2a) I hate every one of you who can even somewhat do these. Upon rep after rep of failure, and adding plate after plate, I resorted to strict on the ground, with a 45, a 10 AND an abmat. Still, the best I got was 4 ub. Holy goat!
2b) 185, 220, 220, 220
Conditioning:
C2B – 17, 18, 20, 18
Subbed 10 meter lateral shuffles with a floor touch at the ends and middle (no rower)(these were brutal and AWESOME by the way)
16, 16, 16, 17
Planks – 60, 60, 55, 55
1. 150, 175, 185, and 200.
2a. 5, then 3 each round.
2b. 135, 155.
C2B: 25, 13, 11, 10.
Row: 310, 270, 270, 270 Grip was done.
Plank: 25, 25, 25, 45. Could have gone heavier. Never done these before.
All of this was also after the barbell work from yesterday. Used 125 for the snatch and 175 for the cleans.
1. 120, 135, 145, 155. Based off of 90% of 215. Felt good. Really worked on speed through the sticking point.
2a. Really bad. Used dumbbells instead of parallettes. Stacked a 45 plate and 3 folder towels to replace ab mats. First set of strict, second set of 2 strict and 6 kipping, third set were half strict and half kipping and the last set was all kipping. A serious goat.
2b. 100, 120, 120, 120. Based off of 90% of 185. Trying to stay on the heels and work on speed.
WOD

1/3/2
200×6, 235×8, 250×6, 270×4 (felt easy based on 90%)
HSPU on 45’s 5,5,5,5 (felt hard)
185×5, 215x5x4 (felt good)
C2B 10, 7, 7 (nursing tennis elbow went nice and easy)
Cals 28, 24, 25
Plank just BW
Took coaches advice and went a little conservative. Haven’t max’d out in a while and I’m certain it has gone up so I went with 95% today
1) 195 – 225 – 245 – 260
2a) Strict from floor 1 abmat 4,2,2 – 4,2,2 – 3,2,2,1 – 2,3,3
2b) 180 – 210 – 210 – 210
Haven’t figured out Butterfly C2B without feeling like I’m going to kill my face, so I stuck with a regular kip
C2B) 12 – 9 – 9 – 8
Row) 300 – 303 – 310 – 307
Plank) 45×3 – 35×1
Yesterdays —
BB Gymnastics
1) 145 x 5 (3 Position) — Felt awesome, started flying under on the hi-hang, no fails.
2) 205 x 5 (3 position) — Felt EVEN BETTER! was killing this, will upload a video of my last set (only one I got) later — fast elbows, popping today.
3) Snatch Balance — (125, 145, 155, 165, 175) x 3 — Not quite as good on these, have a tough time getting in position, but the 175 actually felt the best, so that is encouraging.
Conditioning
Time: 10.41
Nothing much to report, unbroken on KBS and Wall Ball, burpees were a little slow though.
Midline (time permitting)
Only had 5 minutes, so I did 70lb KB AmRap in 5 minutes, got 12 (6/arm).
Great day, arm soreness is almost gone, had unreal pop in my hips today.

Psyched to be posting. FOund out about this site in November and have been silently stalking! I was in the middle of a catalyst cycle I wanted to finish since my oly lifts suck ass. They still do but are a better type of ass sucking than they were previously. Anyways here is my first day of Outlaw training. As you will find out I am no way elite or advanced, just glad to be following some kick ass programming.
1. Back Squat 215, 255, 270, 290
2a. HSPU Suck. I suck at these. Not sure why. Did some HSPU progressions. Any suggestions on getting these would be great. I had them at one point (meaning I could get 3-8) but lost them somewhere in the past few months.
2b. Front Squat 185, 200
12/315/25
13/320/25
12/321/25
11/320/25
Used 100% of Max to calculate %. Felt like I could of gone heavier. Haven’t really figured out my max squat / front squat in a long time. Guessing I should.
1) Back Squat: 170, 200, 215, 230
2a) Strict Parallette HSPU – First 2 sets unbroken, full range. Reminder broken up in 4’s
2b) Front Squats: 140, 165
ME UB Chest to Bar Pull ups – 20, 20, 15, 8
1 minute ME Row for Meters – 250, 250, 220, 240
1 minute Weighted Plank Hold – # 45 for each
Max lift may be off
1, 140-160-170-185 went easy, even tho I’m weak!
2a Parallette abmat above bars (my ROM sucks on HSPU) 8-5,3-4-4,3-2-2-1
b 125,145
Conditioning 2 rounds (time)
CTB pull ups 14-12
Double unders 60,57 (no rower)
45lb Plank
M/F/S…..4/2/2
Used 95% for both Back and Front Squat
1) 235, 275, 290, 310
2a) target was 2″ below 7/1, 5/3, 5/2/1, 4/2/1/1
2b) 185, 215×3
22, 317, 45#
15, 296, 45#
13, 308, 45#
13, 310, 45#
Back squats felt light…all the band work the last few months must have been working. Might have to up the % next week. The last set of FS slowed downed a touch but wasn’t at risk of not getting up.
Used 95% of 1RM for percentages…
1) 200, 230, 250, 265
2a) No paralletes – Stacked a 25lb plate and went head to ground
First 2 sets unbroken, last 2 sets 6&2
2b) 170, 3 x 200
Conditioning
Subbed 1 min DU’s for row since no rower available
25, 22, 18, 15 C2B pullups
25 lb planks x 4
Based lifts on 95%
Back Squat – 185-210-225-240
* felt light! Haven’t 1RM in a while. Will work off a new number next session.
HSPU- strict from floor, all unbroken.
Front Squat – 1×5 @ 155, 3×5 @ 185.
* felt light as well. Need to figure out my 1RM.
Pullups – 16-12-10-7
Row- 310-300-300-300
Plank – 45#
* awesome programming. This is my third workout on this program. Really appreciate the posting.
1)230,270,285,310
2a) didnt go as planned. Started with sets of 4 then 2’s
2b)200,230×4
conditioning:
30,339,45lb
16,326,45lb
11,308,35lb
10,311,35lb
m/f/s 2/2/2
M/F/S: 3/3/4
I haven’t done a 1 rm on FS or BS in a really long time. I just guessed based on my max for sets of 5 (went a little bit higher). Used 100% of that number to find my percentages–on accident, but the loads were way too easy.
I’ve never used low bar squat…I didn’t even know the difference! Here’s a video that I watched during my research: [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mC5-g1Ugmgc&w=420&h=315%5D
Strength:
1. 125, 145, 155, 165
2a. Can’t do strict HSPU at all, so I put my feet on a box and did them in the pike position. Did all unbroken. Last two sets were getting ridiculous. I need this type of work!
2b. 95, 115
Conditioning:
C2B: 9, 9, 10, 8
Row: 255, 270, 250, 245
Plank: 45# vest for all rounds (unbroken)
Was the strength supposed to feel REALLY easy? If not, I’m not sure how I should adjust my weights.
1. 185, 215, 230, 250
2a – 2.5″ deficit on all. 4-6 unbroken to start each set
2b. 165, 190×3
Conditioning:
C2B: 21, 15, 12, 11 – I have a hard time keeping my kip momentum in check, end up swing around to regain it and probably losing reps.
Row: 309, 311, 312, 311
Plank 55# on all
First day of following the Outlaw way. Looking to improve my o lifts and have some great people to compare my times to 🙂 Would love to qualify to the games!
B. Squat (never done low bar so went off of 95% of my high bar max)- 145 x 10, 170×8, 180×6, 195×4 – felt good.
HSPU on parallettes 1″ deficit – 8, 8, 8, 5 + 3 – on my last set failed on 6, shook out my arms and did 3 more
F. Squat – 135 x 5, 160 x 3×5
C2B – 31, 20, 20, 20
Row- 271, 264, 252, 253 (my goat!!!)
Plank hold – 45 lbs.
Weights based on 95%
1) 255×10, 300×8, 320×6, 340×4
2b) 235
Buddy no row? Shocker!
I row’d buddy. Just didn’t keep track of the meters. You know how I get down homie!! Haha
1) 195, 225, 240, 250
2a) I was pretty high above parallel for each of these
2b) I did all of these at 155# to take it easy on my knees
3) a) 28 total b) 1185 meters c) total of 210 seconds with 45#plate (out of total 240 possible

C2B/Row/Plank
25/326/45, 15/307/70, 13/265/70, 14/294/70
Back squat 185, 210, 225, 240 (300:1RM)
Low bar felt weird, shoulders felt tight.
Hspu 2″ def. (6,2) (8), 4″ def (6,2) (5,3)
FS 165, 190, 190, 190. (275:1RM)

25m shuttle run 375, 350, 325, 300
No rower, also no gas! Woof!
Used 45 each round but could only hold for 40 each round, rest for 5ish sec and finish off the min. Did this at the park and a 45 is all I brought so just roughed it out.
2/7/4 4 hour sleep sucks.
1) 231, 269, 289, 308
– knees gave me some trouble today, think i was going too low.
2A) 5,3,1/3,2,2,1/2,1,2,1,2/2,2,2,2
– first two sets rx, last two were even with the parallettes. shoulders were still shot from yesterday
2B) 192, 224
– these felt better than the back squats, but was told too low by others observing
conditioning:
1. 21, 339, 55#
2. 11, 321, 65#
3. 13, 320, 65#
4. 11, 311, 70#

C2B/Pushups/Plank
20/30/45#, 14/25/45#, 11/17/35#, 15/20/35#
Didn’t have a rower… really didn’t want to do SDHP so I picked a goat and just hit max sets. In hindsight pushups may have not been the greatest though it is a big goat. Definitely tired out my shoulders for the plank. Wasn’t able to finish the second set of plank at 45# in one set. Still hit the full time but had to break it up so dropped down to 35. Yeesh. Apparently I have a weak as core. Or I’m just tall.

SHIT! I didn’t even see the 1×6 @ 75%..FAAAACK
Went off 95% but have not maxed in a long time. Both front and back squats felt light I may need to adjust my #’s.
1. 143,153,163,175
2a.Did 3 reps on the Parallettes at 1″ def on the 1 round then went to regular strict HSPU’s with about a 1.5″ def (on plates). These felt harder then normal.

Damn, this place is getting kinda crowded. Nice!
1) 255# x 10, 295# x 8, 315# x 6, 340# x 4 (Based off of 415-420#, and wasn’t too tough. Again, working on serious depth.)
2a) Started at about a 4-5″ deficit and failed @ 7. Raised it each rd until I was at about 1″ on the last rd

Row- 357/339/331/331
Plank- 45# weighted vest
1) 210×10, 245×8, 260×6, 280×4
2a) 4×8 hspu-done from the floor, shoulders were very tired from Monday, and I couldn’t even get regular hspu unbroken for the first set.
2b) 170×5, 200x5x3
Didn’t do the conditioning. The squats and hspu were hard enough by themselves, for me anyway. Also we’re in the process of switching locations, and our pullup rig is currently sitting on a trailer outside the new box, so I wouldn’t have been able to do pullups. This whole training week is slightly fucked because of the move. I’ll be happy when we’re in the new building and I can refocus.
6/4/3
When it comes to pull-ups do you guys kip, deadhang, or butterfly?
When it comes to pull-ups do you suggest butterfly, kip or deadhang?
Strict vs kip is usually marked. If not, however you want to do it. Butterfly vs kip is your own choice, whatever method of cheating works best.
thank you!

First day on the Outlaw Way:
1. 185, 200, 215, 230 (Low Bar based on 90% of High Bar due to only training high bar for the past year, HB=335, LB=305) Got tough but manageable
(Accidentally read it as 1,2,3, so did 2a and 2b seperately, made them waaaaay harder)
2a. 1″ below (8), parallel (6), 1″ above (5), 1″ above (5)
2b. (Based on highest good form FS) 175, 205 (got really hard due to one minute rest)
C2B: 21,21,16,16
Row: 302, 298, 292, 285
Plank: Bodyweight Only
Mentally broke in round 3… should have gone up on planks.
