A few weeks ago, on the Games Update show, Pat Sherwood said that Elisabeth Akinwale wouldn’t be a contender to win the Games because, as he put it, “She is following Outlaw, and they only do a heavy lift and a short metcon.” His point was that she would surely die on longer metcons, because if you don’t train longer WODs you can’t possibly be successful at them… Right?
We put 4 women in the top 40 in the world on 12.3, including Elisabeth, and almost every single Outlaw gained at least 10 spots in the world rankings this week. We currently have the first place male in THREE REGIONS; Kevin Simons in the Northwest (11th in the world), Brandon Phillips in the Southeast (23rd in the world), and Jason Hoggan in the South Central (34th in the world). We have double-digit males and females currently in the top 100 in the world and metric shit-ton of top 60s in regions everywhere.
You guys simply obliterated 12.3, after training very few high rep box jump WODs and almost nothing over 12 minutes.
Not bad for a “strength bias” program.
Kennesaw camp was fun. We ran up a hill, and ate pizza.
WOD 120312:
Strength
1) Back Squats: 1X5 @ 60%, 1X5 @ 70%, 2X5 @ 75% – rest 2-3 minutes between sets.
2a) 3X8 Supinated Bent Over Rows – heavy, rest 60 sec.
2b) 3X8 Weighted GH Raise – heavy, rest 60 sec.
Conditioning
5 rounds for time of:
6 Muscle-Ups
9 Front Squats @ 185/120#
Awesome experience this weekend!!!
Camp was AWESOME! If you don’t attend one of the camps. You are LAME! Thanks Rudy, Laura and BP!
Also, Paragon team did TERRIBLE on 12.3. Got 3rd in Southeast Region on that WOD. Clearly, not prepared for 18min WOD …. What a shame! 🙂
I am assuming the Front squats to be done from the floor like every other movement…correct?
You’re assumption would be correct
Interesting point about us not doing box jumps. The box jumps were by far the easiest part of that workout. Never stopped once on them.
Another great weekend with the Outlaws. Legs are wrecked. Mostly everything below the knees after all the BJs (wait a tic…) and the mile and half run up a mountain.. May even try to sneak my way into one more just to be surrounded with such great athletes and coaches.
Ps I’m PRETTY sure Rudy’s checkin’ me out up there on that mountain top..
it was your abs! You can’t help but look!
Phenomenal video…and Noah, he is definitely checking you out. Rudy, Im offended.
Love the programming and so glad it was brought into my world! Is there a recommended way of progression work/advice/training tips for muscle ups? A skill I have yet to succeed at. I attempt ring work at least 3 times a week (due to time constraints) without much improvement and would like any input on a more successful method of progression. False grip rings to chest weighted pullups have not been a problem for me, however high rep ring dips are.
For the workout, Rudy is having his general population do 9 C2B Pullups & 9 Ring Dips. As for progressions gymnasticswod.com has some good stuff on that. The important thing you need is transition strength, doing slow/controlled negatives and lots of extra deep ring dips help. At the end of the day it just comes down to strength vs. body weight.
Jason Hoggan trained with us for about 3 months before he moved to Dallas and all we did was met cons between 20-40 minutes. That’s why he is well rounded! All jokes aside, Jason did train with us, but your programming was legit! I saw that article and laughed. Jason kicked our arses (I got him 1 time though). We are proud to see him at the top! Great Job Outlaw! Keep it rockin!

I think I lost about 4 pounds of sweat during every wod… gotta love Houston! 🙂
Thanks for the shout-out, buddy. Hope to see you guys in San Antonio.
What update video was that that Pat said that?
Thanks

about 19:07 they start to talk about EA, about 19:38 starts:
“She (EA) is following Outlaw Crossfit’s programming pretty religiously…[they do] met-con that rarely exceeds the 15-20 min range so if we see another really long event in the games, I’m not sure that’s the best prep for it…” – Pat Sherwood
Love that your drinking the Kill Cliff Recovery. I’ve been driniking that for about 2 and a half months and it’s good shit. Jus’ sayin’.
What a great weekend! learned to much and was sorrounded by great people!! The throwdown website I was talking about at the end (with Outlaw approved WODS, no stupid shit) is http://www.talonthrowdown.wordpress.com I can see some outlaws winning this event! like always!
Really Rudy? You’re worried about Pat Sherwood’s comments. Outlaws will kick ass and take names…despite silly and dangerous open programming. Keep killing it.
Btw…nice Kill Cliff represent on the sly. #nectarofthegods
We’re no more worried about Sherwood’s dumbass comments than we are about some noob asking what “UB” means.
You say retarded shit, we mock the fuck out of you mercilessly. It’s the Outlaw Way.
Fuck this WOD looks like a lot of fun. Wish I could front squat.
What can I sub glute ham raises for ?
First read Fridays post, then go read about a months worth of posts after that.
Lulz.
On your knees and have someone or something anchor you at your ankles. Oh, and welcome! Youtube and Google are your friend when it comes to subs, demos, examples, etc… I always go there first. hint….hint….
Saying that you need to train 20 min. long duration metcon all the time to prepare for long duration metcon is like saying you need to run 26 miles every week to prepare for a marathon. It’s all about intensity always has been always will…
Just nailed this wod, took about 20 mins didn’t really time it tho. I did some squats and 12.3 yesterday instead of a rest day so was a little bit sore.
Had to scale the wod to
6 Ring Dips
6 Pullups
9 Front Squats 80(ish)lbs
I know 1 MU is usually scaled too 2 dips 2 pullups but that was a little bit too much volume for me personally and i wanted to keep it short if it had been 3 rounds then i would of gone for the 12 dips 12 pullups.
Of everything Coach Rudy has put on this site thus far, this was the most meaningful to me (perhaps because I’ve been saying the same thing since I started CF):
Just a little something I noticed.
The average wod length for the 2011 Open was 11.1667 minutes.
The average wod length for the 2012 Open so far has been 11.6667 minutes.
Last time I checked, 11 is less than 12. I think the Outlaw conditioning wods are just what the doctor ordered.

Was he drinking Kill Cliff Recovery? I didn’t even notice, it must have been subliminal though because I found myself on their site all of the sudden and looking into getting a case of it. Weird…
Kill Cliff is definitely worth a try! Especially the anti-inflammatory properties of the drink.
Remember, get it shipped to your door for CHEAP with coupon code SPIDERMONKEY… BOOM!!!! WINNING!!!!
I think “recovery” drinks are just a bunch of bullshit, but it tastes good with rum.

Camp was fun, especially the Hill run.
Learned a little something something on that one… DON’T PACE THE 12 FITTEST DUDE IN THE REGION/FORMER TRI-ATHLETE 🙂
Especially the hill run? Eww! They should’ve gave you that Titin vest prior to that run!
This place reminds me of the Skate shop I used to work for, except with exercisers and barbells instead of shit-head teenagers and wheels/decks. It was a legit shop, not some mall-store staffed by fucksticks. A no bullshit kinda place with a mini-ramp in the back and no tolerance for whining or bitching. Outlaw is like the Skatopia of exercising, with more teeth and less Anarchy. In other words I hope you keep this up, thanks Rudy!
Like.
A lot.
Why is there so much hate towards Outlaw?
because were fucking awesome
Camp was AWESOME.. Great intel, Great people… just a good damn time… I am going to jump in both feet and start today… so let’s see how The Outlaw Way works for me 🙂
Whaaaaaat. You weren’t following before? Keys???!! Tsk Tsk! This is what you need homie!
He thinks he can just waltz in here, start the program, and steal my nick name! WTF Key?! HA
What….. I didn’t steal anything 🙂
I was bestowed the SPIDERMONKEY years ago… The only problem is, I’m a little nervous about arguing with someone that just might outlift me 🙁
A. 230, 270, 290
Conditioning: 12’50min.
Did all the FS UB, which I’m not happy with. Should attack the bar and go to failure rather than rest til I can go UB..
MU’s felt ok, maybe should have gone 3/3 from the start to save fatigue.
Happy to finish a wod like this as RX’d though!
I exercise at the university of nevada reno crossfit gym and for the past 3 months myself and 3 other members have been following the outlaw way and have seen huge gains. We have 3 guys in the top 60. Unfortunately I dropped nearly 30 spots this week to 93 in 12.3 not because of my fitness level but because of getting the flu and direct quote from the doctor” I have no clue whats going on inside your throat, kind of concerning” (insert awkward moment). Even though I wasnt able to do my best at this wod I was damn proud of my 9 rounds while what felt like breathing through a straw. I got some shit from folks about not woking out, that its not worth it.They thought that if I couldn’t do my best why do it? They just dont understand it. After the wod I couldn’t breath, hell I almost passed out and thats when I started to smile. I just did something that normal people wouldn’t do, I might not have been the best but I wasn’t going down without a fight. The point is 3 months ago I wouldn’t of had the balls to try to pull that off. The outlaw Way has either A) made me crazier or B)made me masochist. Either way Ill take it Thanks guys!

Looks like today is a fine day to start outlaw. Was gonna start after the open but I haven’t been performing as well as I’d hoped. Also, programming for yourself sucks. Ready to do work.

Awesome!
New to crossfit { 3 months } >> age 52, former athlete, wrestling. About your comment > your head was “pounding”.
Hope that’s normal, is it ? I’m competitive though I’m older like to attempt to keep up in group WOD’s. But if I try too hard, as often I do >> my head is pounding.
Is that normal ? Is it ok ? Honestly, it has scared me – – – anyone have opinion or similiar experiences ? Thanks.

i’ll get faster, big thing is the front rack is becoming more comfortable each time i work on it. September 2007 i fell off a cliff after a motorcycle accident, stopped myself from falling further down but almost ripped off my left index and middle finger (open dislocations) while shattering my right wrist to the point that it needed plates and wiring. flexibility and mobility was completely shot in those joints, i’m getting to where i can maintain the front rack with minimal pain and it is amazing,
P.S. Video made me lol

Not a good day for me.
Did all muscle ups scaled from knees. They were so hard, even that way. My triceps were so fatigued today and I could barely press out in the dip.
Front Squat RX…the break between was so long because I am currently inept at the muscle up. So aggravating. I am working on that muscle up so hard. I will be so angry at myself if I make regionals and I can’t do one. Depending on the next two workouts, I may not have to worry about that too much.

Loved that WOD. Brutal, surprisingly gassy. Triceps still wrecked from 12.3, which made MUs a bit dicey at lockout.

9:59
Decided to screw this neutral grip crap and started doing false grip again. FS were pretty easy. Only broke em once and I didn’t have too.
1) 245, 275, 305
2a) 135 ->
Conditioning:
11.39 I believe (maybe 10.39) — transitions were slow, legs/arms pretty beat up — fun one though…this combo in any way (MU and Squat Cleans, Front Squats, or Clusters always seems to slow me down to a weaker pace)
As a two time regional competitor I thought I was it descent shape. This is my second week following the Outlaw programming and I have come two realize quite the contrary…I am no where close to being in shape. After the conditioning workout…I laid on the ground in the fetal position for 15 min, was able to pry myself up and grab a Kill Cliff, then crawled into my bed and laid there for another 15 minutes until my body stopped shaking. Thank you Outlaw, can’t wait to do it again tomorrow!
1) 225, 265, 285, 285
2a) 135, 155, 155
2b) bodyweight x 3
3) 17:49 subbed 12 dead hang pull-ups & 12 ring dips each round for the 6 MUs since I cannot do MUs at my house
Conditioning: 11:55, All Front Squats unbroken and fast. Muscle ups unbroken 1st round, 2nd round 3-1-1-1, did doubles and singles from there on out. Strength is not even close to being the issue with my muscle ups. ITs all technique. They have gotten better but I need to improve these drastically. I was never really winded bad during the workout. I lost time as I dropped from the rings and just stared at them waiting till I knew Id definitely hit it. Fresh I can do high rep sets no problem with a break in between. But, I lose my form when it comes to a metcon like this. My hands start getting wide, and I drop prematurely so I dont miss a rep. I really need to just htfu and push it. If I miss it big fucking deal. These need to improve. I see no reason why I shouldnt be able to do this entire workout unbroken. The only thing holding me back is technique. I dont false grip, maybe I should try that. If anyone has any input I’d be interested in hearing it. Fun workout though, I love doing muscle ups, very fun movement and I love front squats. Just need to improve my technique.
1) 225, 245, 275
2a) 185 for all sets
2b) 35lb plate held at chest
Conditioning-15:29
Subbed 12 pullups, 12 dips for MU since I can’t roll MU’s over because of the wrist. Last couple rounds of front squats were brutal, broke them into sets of 3 with short rest.
1) 265, 305, 325
2a) 165
2b) 45lb plate held at chest
Skipped conditioning, wrist is still not right.
LBBS – 215×5, 245×5, 265x2x5
Conditioning: 9:59
FS – UB, UB, 5-4, 6-3, 6-3
MU – UB, UB, UB, 4-2, 3-2-1
Squats have been feeling absolutely terrible lately. No matter what I do I never feel warmed up, even in my final sets. The tops of my knees feels very tight when descending in to the squat. I don’t know if the increased squat volume is finally taking its toll on me and I’m developing some tendonitis or what. Super frustrating though because I squatted 375 on Dec 22, and last week I barely squeezed out 340. WTF?
1) 195-225-235×2
2a) 185×4
2b) no ghd, did dumbbell bench as it’s a weakness of mine 80-90-100(6)-100(5)
Conditioning: 12:45 w/155 lbs front squat
Rudy seems to be misquoting Sherwood.
I’m pretty sure he said Outlaw rarely does met-cons that exceed the 15-20 min range… so 18 minutes is part of what Sherwood expected Outlaw athletes to do well at… I’m pretty sure Pat was talking about something like the 1st workout in the Games last year. Being a poor winner is almost worse than being a poor loser. Why all the hatin’ on Sherwood Rudy?
