Evidently we’ve found a new way to weed out Outlaw Way followers who are hiding in the bushes. You’ll know them when they post a PR video, and right after the lift is complete they belt out a huge “FUCK YEAH” for everyone to hear. It may be subconscious, but they want us to know; they really really want us to find them.
Today I found one of those bush hiders. She is none other than the 2010 Games 17th placed finisher Candice Ruiz. I’d like to welcome Candice to the fold with a congratulations on this new PR:
One of the original icons of the sport. This man LITERALLY invented the butterfly pullup. I absolutely love this video.
WOD 120317:
BB Gymnastics
1) 3 attempts to establish a 1RM Snatch – rest as needed.
2) 3 attempts to establish a 1RM Clean & Jerk – rest as needed.
Notes: Take as long as you’d like to warm up for these lifts, but limit yourself to ONLY 3 legit attempts. You may use any style of each lift, but try to stick to a near USAW standard.
Conditioning
5 rounds for time of:
5 Deadlifts @ 315/225#
20 Hand Release Pushups
12 C2B Pullups
*Rest 10 minutes.
5X200m Sprint – Rest 90 sec.
Candice — 3 things:
1) Welcome
2) So… you just PR’d with approx 10 seconds rest after a failed attempt? Holyshit.
3) Kickass music choice.
F*ck yeah is right.
Fuck yea! I need to stop pussin out and actually post my damn results at the end of the day out here!
I gave out a huge fuck yeah right after she did, that was epic
Looks like a lioness stalking her prey, then finishing the kill.
Rick is right time t start posting results been following this site for a couple weeks now. Definitely dig the skate shop vibe, I used to be one of those fuckers hiding in the back of the skate shop father getting chased by the cops for skateboarding.
Snatch 140
Clean & Jerk 175
WOD 21:00 Rx. Dead lifts got really heavy.
Anybody got any tips on why I tend to be completely worn out about 3:00 into any WOD? I feel like its my diet but could be wrong.
Perhaps you just going at it too hard. Pace yourself a bit better, try not to do as much as possible within the first 3 mins and remember that you have alot more time to go. Going fast at the start will only mean that your slower at the end
Maybe you don’t warmup properly.
Mario may be right. OPT wrote something a year or two ago about this. He believes if you feel gassed within the first couple of minutes in a workout it’s because you didn’t warm-up well enough. Of course, I can’t search for that article now b/c I’m not a member of his site (He’s so secretive with everything),but his recommendation was to mimmic the movements of the workout in your warm-up, and to make sure you actually break a sweat and get your heart rate up. He got all science-y and geeky about why that’s important, but I don’t remember any of that. One of the movements he likes best are forward rolls. He said it’s one of the best things you can do to wake-up your CNS.
Trailing one day behind. Spend 12 hours in a car and train yesterday, going back from my army course in southern Germany. So was not feeling super fresh when i attacked 12.4 this morning.
Got 253. I will take it, even though im not totally happy about it. Almost stuck to the plan. Went 25×4 and then 5×10. Finished WB at about 6:30 and started MU at 9:00. Did doubles but missed my 14th rep and ran out of time.
Doing the team competition this year, so im not doing it again. The team was 7th in europe after 12.3, so no worries about regionals.
Will do todays work tomorrow morning.
Oh, forgot the HBBS
110kg, 120kg, 127,5kg
Nice lift. Keep up the good work.
Snatch: stopped after a slow ps at 155, need to put in extra work here, totally uncomfortable in everything from set up to catch..
Clean & Jerk, 245, 255 (missed jerk) Clean PB by 5lbs!
(Ran out of time had to go coaching, but felt easy, definitely expect more soon!)
Conditioning: 10’17rxd.
Broke pshu after 1 round, but wanted the rest UB and aimed sub 10, had to drop after 10 of last ctb…
Candice, nice to have ya!…that video got me all fuckin jacked up. Intense shit
AFT is a great dude, that video is awesome, they have a sick group of OGs up there — Didnt Dutch Lowy invent the butterfly tho?
And after some research I’ll just go fuck myself.
I was gonna cockpunch you through the site.
You should have known Jeff, your icon speaks(or not) for itself
Well said on all fronts, I used to call them AFT pull-ups too, wtf was I thinking – fucktard brain fart fridays I guess…Cockpunch away – I hope this will be your greeting next time I see you – just a crushing blow straight to the balls followed by an “AFT MOTHER FUCKER.”
Maybe throw in a championship belt step-over following.

HA! Totally been there before. I love that.
I like the long… FUUUCK! Solid work holding that OH for that long!
my favorite part is the girl watching in the background. shes all like, ‘nah he’s got that’
Didn’t go for the 1rm today. Working on my form. Just did a bunch of snatches until I got it right.
Conditioning was awesome. Dead lifts and chest to bar were good but the HR pushups tired me out. Love the coaching and tips from everyone.
Rudy, you definitely need to patent that saying and make Outlaw shirts out of them. Speakin’ of shirts ….. *SideEye* I’m ready to wear my Outlaw gear!!!!!
DL, Pushups, and C2B … I wonder if that’ll be 12.5.
Oh and Candice OWNED that. Love her determination!

Skipped the runs due to heavy rain in SoCal and general laziness…
Think my 35 year old ass is starting to adjust to the volume. Snatch and C&J are both 15 under my PR’s but are the first time I’ve hit even these numbers on a Saturday in three weeks. So no PR’s but there was progress.

Conditioning A) 12:47
Snatch- 185-225(f)-220(f) completely caught and under weight, could not rise up, needed more of an aggressive turnover with the 225… I think I will hit this within a couple of weeks.
C/J- 275-305 Failed Jerk. No drive with legs, pretty beat from yesterday. Called it there.
Conditioning 9:34
Sprints- :28-:28-:30-:40-:40. Legs finally caught up with me and said “fuck this” on last 2 sprints.
Taking the weekend off. Legs are completely smoked from yesterday.

2) 215# (PR tie)
Conditioning – 13:45
:35/:35/:34/:34/:34 (felt a little short, but there were awkward turns as well)
Ok, here’s my Outlaw testimonial. A month or so on the program. That 215 CnJ that tied my PR? That was done splitting with the opposite leg forward. Fuck yeah.
My training partner did 12.4 yesterday and was extremely disappointed at her performance. Wasn’t even sure she was going to look for one rep maxes today. But then she went for it and PR’ed her snatch and clean and jerk, and then used the most weight she’s ever deadlifted in a metcon before. Fuck yeah.
Thank you.
I don’t have a lot of benchmarks but i’m just gonna start posting for the sake of data.
Snatch – 85#, 10#pr
C/J – 140, 5#pr
skipped cond today.
*yet
you don’t have a lot of benchmarks yet.
Snatch – 229(failed-landed it just couldn’t stand it up, sore legs much), 234(fx2) pull felt great today just didn’t have the explosion or strength in my legs.
C&J – 265(failed jerk, just out of position when I got it overhead), 285 – called it after getting this one, just didn’t have the drive out of the bottom on the clean.
Conditioning – 12:13 Push Ups of any variety are always going to be the death of me it’s just trying to manage them the best that I can. Did sets of 5 after the first round.
Did 12.4, listened to Coach and worked out for me. The only one I can blame for anything is myself

Coach-
Great video of AFT. H
Coach-
Great video of AFT. He has always been a stand up guy. Unfortunately, many of the pioneers of CrossFit do not get much press anymore (for a variety of reasons, many of which are BS). When I started, AFT and OPT used to post on the main site. Man, talk about inspiration.
I could only hit 185 on the snatch and 225 on the c+j today, pretty tired from yesterday’s 12.4. I am also riding my own ass pretty hard about the catch position, as I tent to power snatch or power clean EVERYTHING and that sucks. SO my numbers have gone down but form feels better.
Conditioning:26 something. Fucking horrible at c2b. Embarassingly so, and i tore my hand up. Awful.
Sprints- loops is about 225m – 108, 105, 108 118, 115
Nice job Candice! Welcome to the 2 double O club!
Did this Sunday after a fun and debaucherous (is that a word) St. Patrick’s day :/
Felt shaky strength wise so stayed 15# under both PR’s and concentrated on form
Snatch 155
C&J 185
Conditioning
7:40 – Push-ups bogged me down the most, but kept the rest cycles short. All DL’s and C2B UB.
One guy jumped in on the 2nd sprint so we did 6 to keep him company on the last one. It’s been an hour now and I’m still shaking! Hungover sprints… bleh
MFS: 2/5/2 – amazingly not sore from 12.4 yesterday, but I do need a nap now!
Finally got yesterdays work done.
Snatch: 85kg – failed twice on it
C&J: 115kg – attempted 120 which would have been PR, but wasnt quick enough under it.

Hey Outlaws, been following the programming for about 3 weeks with a couple of my fellow North Central Region competitors. Adjusting to the volume quite nicely, biggest challenge is fitting the training time in. I love this programming. I’d never put myself in this kind of suck on my own. Keep it coming! Also, did 12.4 yesterday, and the pacing Outlaw suggested was great! Double unders sucked more than expected, but still had 4 minutes to work on the rings and hit a 262.

Fucking beast
pulled up really sore after 12.4 so wasnt expecting much from o lifting..
snatch 50kg (good for me!!)
c&j 65kg (not good, im really sucking at sticking the clean)
conditioning wasnt great – DLs felt heavy but UB, push ups and C2B are not strong points
i always thought i was alright at this but my weaknesses are def being exposed!
Snuck most of the workout in yesterday (Sunday 3/18) as my birthday workout.
BBG: Snatch – 100#. Confidence issues going above 100. Working on it. Skipped C&J.
Cond.: 17:27 @ 260# deads, light band for C2B pullups.
Skipped sprints. Had a pitcher of Margarita’s instead.
HR Pushups schooled me. First round was fine, but subsequent rounds simply broke down. Band on the C2B pulls as I’m trying to avoid kipping while letting my shoulder recover a bit more.
Snatch 120, 125, 130 (fail) No PR.
C&J 150, 160, 170 (fail) No PR
Conditioning: 11:57
No strength today, trying MU’s before the wrist was healthy was not a good idea.
Conditioning: 13:15
Just wasn’t a great day. Didn’t really gas out, was limited by muscle fatigue more than by conditioning. DL’s were unbroken first two rounds (I should never have to break 5@315). Need a rest day.
