You want to know why you suck at Weightlifting? Because you’re not this guy:
I will be posting video of the “heat of the titans” as soon as I can get it uploaded. Also, I’ll put results on The Outlaw Way Facebook page as soon as the WOD is over.
Who do you guys think is gonna come out on top?
WOD 120324:
BB Gymnastics
1) Snatch: 60%x3, 70%x2, 75%x2, 80%x2, 85% x 1 x 3 – rest 60-90 sec.
2) Clean & Jerk: 60%x3, 70%x2, 75%x2, 80%x2, 85% x 1 x 3 – rest 60-90 sec.
Notes: Neither lift needs to be touch and go, resetting after the rep is not just ok, but is suggested. If there is only 1 number following the listed percentage, then it notes reps. If there are 2 numbers they note reps first, then sets.
3) Front squat: 90% x 1 x 4 – rest as needed.
Conditioning
1) For time:
5 Rope Climbs 15′

Notes: You may keep the flywheel spinning while resting, but this should just be active rest. Go ALL OUT as long as possible.
1 – Simons
2- Hoggan
3- BP — Only cuz of height
Have to agree
Standard on KB Snatches – must touch floor?
Is alternating allowed on them, or 15 one arm, 15 the other?
In the past…the KB does not need to touch the floor just pass between your legs and yes all one arm then the other.
Yeah Klokov is just silly strong…how much is he push pressing at about 1:43 into that video?
Oh and I’m picking Simons
Go Cougs!
My money is on BP…QUAD DESTROMINATION!!!!
Dmitry is the shit. He’s beast strong.
I’ve seen Klokov push-press 225 kg, he’s a beast. Can’t wait for the olympics this summer.
Kevin Simons to take first place
12.5 – 100reps. Pleased to have taken part and have been up and down over the last few weeks.
BP 1st- Country Strong
Snatch up to 3 singles at 160lbs
Felt better than in a long time!
C&J up to 3 singles at 100kg
Nice speed and consistent, need to improve getting under bar in jerk tho.
Front Squats, 1*4@135kg, (new PB is 140, but counting from 150 as that was easy).
Light!
Conditioning: 10’33min rx’d
Rowing: 21, 16, 15, 13, 15 cals
Same feeling as 12.5 yesterday, can’t push anything, lacking high gear and dont know what’s wrong. Maybe just need to sleep and eat some concrete during the rest of the weekend.
6/5/4
Sry, TOTAL Cals: 80…
Been following The Outlaw Way for almost 2 months now and i couldn’t be more stoked about this program! This stuff works! I’m starting to see numbers i’ve never seen before after being stuck for quite a while. My only regret is I didn’t find it sooner! Congrats to all the Outlaws kicking ass in the open. We are a couple days behind, but I still wanted to share. Back Squat PR @475 (with a funny fail video on the first attempt)
Fail: http://youtu.be/ZAS_4TibZA4
Success: http://youtu.be/meK-8g1JNlM
You might want to, I don’t know, use a few traditional non-bumper plates on there…
Yeah, I just opened a new gym 3 weeks ago and have not got them yet. I definitely will this week!
Nice work. I always like seeing normal looking weightlifters getting near and hitting the 500 club. Congrats. How much of a PR was this?
Thanks,
I hit 465 when we did the 102% a few weeks ago and before that I hit 452, but it was questionable depth.
lol nice. That fail was awesome.
Time to get some iron!
Congrats on the PR, hell of a lot of weight there! Also, one of the best fail videos I’ve ever seen
Simons – 163
Hoggan – 142
BP – 139
Just my guesses!
Actually I think that’s low end for Hoggan and BP…… +5 possibly for each of them.
Can’t underestimate that competitive environment.
1) 115×3, 135×2, 145×2, 155×2, 165x1x3
2) 155×3, 180×2, 190×2, 205×2, 215x1x3
3) 250x1x4
Conditioning:
18:01 Rx’d. Haven’t done high rep rope climbs in a workout before. Good shit.
Don’t have a rower and I have to run a 5k time trial in a few hours. Hoping to crank out sub 19 mins.
Hmmm 22:16 for “3 miles”. The mile markers on the trail had to be off by quite a bit, so I’m going to measure them tomorrow. I haven’t ran that slow in 6 years.
Measured the mile markers today and they were 400 feet too long. That puts my time closer to 20:42 for 3 miles, but that’s still slow for me. I feel like my training has gone backwards over the course of 3 months. It’s gotta be the lack of sleep I got for so many weeks in a row.
Thats cool and all, no wait, no its not, maybe you can post that on the one day that Rudy programmed a 5k. This is a blog for crossfit not for cowards practice aka running. Nobody on here gives a shit about how your runs are going.
Yeah, I forgot the posts on here are for everyone else’s personal amusement, not a journal that I can look back on and see how I’m doing.

Did 12.5 today

anyone have any tips/drills on getting under the bar faster for the snatch?
How is your overhead squat? I have trouble getting under the bar, but I think it is because I know how terrible I am at OHS, so I am hesitant to commit to dropping and locking out in the OHS.
ya its not that great, I am able to power snatch pretty well right now but i would like to learn the full snatch
Tall snatches, drop snatches and snatch balances. catalyst athletics has some good videos, however, I’m sure google will work just fine as well.
alright thanks man
rudy, that dimitry video is awesome: thanks for sharing! background music rocks! remember when we were the only ones rocking out to that? fuck; those days were some good days! fuck yeah!
just discovered the outlaw way after first open wod results south central when i noticed hogan. been watching you, and am starting your program in my garage. sorry to miss your training camp in heath. will have to catch you on the flipside. congratulations on all your successes. looking forward to being a part of them.

snatch – final sets 115# easy
c & j – 145# easy
front squat – 145# easy
wod (CTB pull ups 5x5x5/ 45# kb / ring dips) = didn’t time, new to kb snatch and ring dips. Worked on form and pressed through them. No rope, so subbed CTB because yesterday was my first day doing them.
row cal = 66 (consist 13 / round) not sure about damper setting, read a couple of differing opinions. Went with 10 and adjusted to 5 on round 3.
1) 100/115/125/135/140 – keeping the bar closer, woot
2) 140/160/170/180/190
3) 245/250/255/255 – upright posture was dwindling a bit, but I don’t have a scooby as to my 1RM front squat, so I thought, what the hey, throw some weight o
Conditioning – 9:59 (KBs below waist, all one arm before switching; kipped dips)
Calories ~82 (?/16/16/16/16)
Machine reset each time, so I didn’t see the first round cals, but that round was a lot faster than the rest, so I’m guessing 2 more cals.
Snatch – 145, 165, 175, 190, 200×3
C&J- 185, 210, 225, 240, 255×3
FS – 285, 295×3- 285 felt pretty easy, so I bumped it up a little. 295 felt really good too.
Conditioning – 8:16
Felt pretty good on this one, well except for the ring dips. They went 9-6, 5-5-3-2, 2-3-1s yeah fucking 1s.
Row – set the rower for 5 min and just stopped at 40 sec each time. Got 24 on the first min, then the rower took off some calories when I started the second min, and every min after that, so not sure what happened.
Same thing happened to me.
Did 12.5 today. 112 reps.
Barbell work 30-45 minutes after
1. 65, 80, 85, 90, 95×3
2. 100, 115, 125, 135, 140×3 (135 felt like 185 going overhead–fatigue from 12.5??)
3. 170, 175, 185, 190 (too easy) I kept going up because it wasn’t hard and I wanted to test myself a little. I think I may have a new front squat PR which could mean I have a new clean PR. If I can hit a 185+ clean and jerk before regionals, I will be VERY happy!

Am I the only dumb fuck that did 30kb snatches per arm? I need to pay more attention. I was looking at all these times and thought that I was super slow. I guess just in the head
