Sunday: Off.
I have been writing WODs for 26 hours straight. This whole thing was a terrible idea. I hate you all.
Kidding… Sorta.
I don’t know, I mean I know Regionals are coming, but maybe we all just take a week off? Please…?
No? Well, if I gotta put in all this work, y’all mufuckas better keep destroying everything you touch. We had a preposterous amount of great lifts this weekend, so I decided to make a proper highlight video. The least you guys can do is share this on your “facebooks”, so all your stupid high school friends can ask you awesome questions like: “Isn’t that bad for your back?” — “Aren’t you going to get big muscles?” -or- “What do you do for cardios?”
When I asked T to video the extra work for Saturday, I thought she was gonna go pretty fast. This is ridiculous.
3:33 on the Hang Squat Snatch/Double-Under WOD:
Finally, Josh Courage is no longer the most manly man in Outlaw world. In fact, his manliness was not just beaten, it was crushed. Here’s Drew Hymer, from CrossFit OKC, with not 20, but 21 reps at 375# (he threw in the 21st just to crush Josh’s pride). Side note: It’s a little known fact that one tattoo sleeve will increase your back squat by approximately 24%, and two sleeves will automatically give you a 500# squat—it’s science.
WOD 120409:
BB Gymnastics
1) Snatch: 2X1 @ 80%, 1 @ 85%, 1 @ 90% – rest 60-90 sec.
2) Clean & Jerk: 2X1 @ 80%, 1 @ 85%, 1 @ 90% – rest 60-90 sec.
3) 4X2 Tempo High-Bar Back Squat @ heavier than last week – rest 60 sec.
Notes: Quick descent, 5 counts (seconds) in the rock bottom, bounce and quick back up.
Strength
1a) 7X3 Weighted STRICT Pullups @ 70-75% (or more than last week)
1b) 7X3 Thruster @ 70%
Notes: Rest intervals should be no more than the length of time it takes to transition movements. You may time this total effort, but DO NOT go so fast that there is a possibility of missing reps, or having to break sets. There should be no more than 45 sec. rest between sets. If you could not use 70% for last week’s pullups, try to use it today or at least get closer. If you did use 70% last week, go up to 75%. If you do not have a 1RM Thruster, base off of your 1RM Push Press. Racks MAY NOT be used for the Thruster.
Skill/Strength
15 minutes Stone Shouldering practice. WATCH THIS DEMO VIDEO.
Notes: If you have limited experience with a stone, then take this time to watch the video and work on your technique with light stones. If you have are familiar with stone, then go a head and work up to a few heavy singles (DO NOT do many). If you do not have stones please do not ask us what you should use. You may strap bumper plates together, but this will not be the same. If you do not have stones, get some.
Midline
5 minute AMRAP of:
Alternating TGU @ 24/16kg
Holy fuck
Going to get some more tattoos tomorrow…
Drew probably would’ve hit 400 if he weren’t listening to Neon Trees. Great job both of you nonetheless
Anybody do Outlaw in New Orleans?
timmy,
a bunch of us who work at crossfit nola/crossfit nola 504 follow it. email me at liz.carrier@gmail.com
What are TGU?
Turkish getups
SO…today one the coaches at my local box told me ass to grass squats are inefficient for crossfit.That Im going too low… seriously? my brain almost exploded… what do I do now? sooo confused. everything I have learned has now been questioned.
Help….?
He’s an idiot.
Him saying they are inefficient may not necessarily mean they are bad for you. As far as doing metcons with any type of squat, yes, they aren’t as efficient if you were to only squat just to parallel. You have to consider how much more time it takes to squat those extra few inches deeper over the course of all the reps of the workout. I have considered this many times when looking at workouts with a high number of squats, and usually I eventually just go back to squatting A2A bc it’s just more comfortable to me. That being said, if you want to be better at everything than your trainer who says they are inefficient, squat your ass to the floor. In the words of the bearded wizard “Everything is everything”
@Michel
1) Specifically which issue are you asking for help with?
2) What do you do now? Depends. Do you want to get better? Then follow the program and let all the naysayers stand there and ask questions while you PR everything.
3) Efficiency is just that- max output with minimal wasted effort. It’s not measured in how many inches you move.
I would tell an athlete that going too deep in a squat is inefficient if they are ‘soft’ in the bottom. If you have a solid A2G squat I wouldn’t worry about it, but if you are in a shitty (soft) position your coach could be right.
Setting the O/U on stone substitution questions at 5. Any takers?
Under.
Wow. I feel strangely disappointed. Perhaps everyone’s just going to do what I do, i.e. skip it.
Glad to be a member of the gang now but EA and Fortunato being stronger than me is REALLY killing the pride! It’s good for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
Amount of times I quietly mouthed NO FUCKING WAY while watching that highlight video = 5. I gotta stop watching these videos at work.
That 315# c&j was absolutely absurd. Gonna need to watch that shit again before getting after it tonight.

Does anyone have any suggestions for the mobility equivalent of a squat for the upper body (I find doing bodyweight squats before a workout is great for warming up the hips but can’t seem to find the upper body equivalent)? I was thinking maybe sots presses, or high rep shoulder presses but any other suggestions would be appreciated
Have you looked into sall slides and shoulder dislocations? I find the dislocations helpful
*wall slides
I’ll try it out. Thanks!

Question – I started having a nagging pain during snatches on the inside of my left quad (abductor??). This is the second time i’ve experienced the discomfort. It goes away after a day or two but, still very irritating during my sessions. I’m noticing my stance in the catch position seems wider than most and my knees buckle in a bit. I’m assuming that’s the cause, but wated to get some feedback here. Anyone else experience this pain where I feel it?

Here is my Snatch. If anyone would look at it and give me advice on it, or rip it up, i would much appreciate it!
http://youtu.be/0k-bvJ-6tAM
Nice Batman logo! Don’t let your hips shoot up like that, though. Maintain your back angle as you leave the floor.
Thanks! It’s my chalk board, painted with chalkboard paint.
Are there drills or extra movements i can do to help eliminate that? its better than it used to be, but i just can’t figure out how to keep my ass down anymore.
really focus on driving through your heels.
5 Things:
1- Set your back more, your back should look like the inside of a spoon not a camel’s back. Really squeeze that tight.
2- Set your hips a little lower and push your shoulders over the bar farther at the start, this creates longer leverage and more bar speed through the second pull
3- You jumped early and the bar popped off your thighs. Get the bar to your hips so that they brush your hips on the way up and let the hips do the work for moving the bar.
4- Keep the bar closer to your body so that it does not take a rainbow bar track
5- Get some weightlifting shoes
Thank you!
I will focus on all those things.
i actually ordered some weightlifting shoes last saturday. So i am eagerly awaiting their arrival
1) based off of 200
3 fails at 80%
2) based off of 265

Ok, since there are now a few more folks posting, I’m going to try and repost my question. I’ve noticed a pain on the inner part of my left quad (abductor?) during snatches. The pain goes away after a couple of days but, it’s very irritating. I’ve noticed my stance in the catch position is much wider than most and my knees buckle in a bit. I’m assuming that is the issue but, would like some feedback. Has anyone else experienced this pain?
BBG:
Snatch – 175,175,185,195. Failed twice on 195 before getting it.

Strength/Skill: No stones. Worked with kegs instead. Only have a 60# and a 96#. Worked a clean and press and a viper press with both. I needed it as much for the technique as anything. Plan to visit a gym with stones later this week.
Forgot to include my Tempo HBBS: 265,275,285,295(1). 265 felt pretty terrible but the rest were better. Didn’t even try for rep 2 on 295 b/c i thought my intestines were going to come out of my ass on the first rep.
1) Snatch- Felt shitty today missed 190 twice.
2) C/J based off of 300- no missed reps and felt solid

my low back has been tightening up / fatiguing every wod since a week ago friday. think josh everett during the snatch-wallball wod at the 2009 games. anyone else have this problem?
i’ve tried foam rolling, art, ice, and contrast showers. it feels better but then tightens up during the next wod. by the weekend, it’s excruciating.
should i take a few days off, buy a weight belt, or just suck it up?
thanks for the help.
I am not qualified to answer this 🙂 could be way off here, but some thoughts. maybe some compression would work-Maybe a brace like for knees, other joints. Or Maybe kt pro tape.
I would take few days off. You may need to go find a NMT to work on your back as well. I’m no expert either but I did have to take 7 weeks off due to a back injury. I was definitely overtrained & my body was asking for rest which I ignored.
Ideas:
1) Google stretches for your quadratus lumborum and do them
2) Look up an Active Release Certified (ART) therapist in your area and get some deep tissue work
3) if you don’t have the $ dig a lacross ball into your lower back
4) push your knees out and stay more vertical on your squats
1) 115-120f-125

Been following outlaw for three weeks now, best thing i’ve ever done.
got to 175# for the snatch
216# for clean
275# on the squats
33# pullups
165# thruster
unfortunately don’t have any stones
and 14 on the TGU with 55#
and I have a question. For the weighted pullups, is the low reps with weight gonna help me increase my strict pullup max better than straight volume work? pullups are kind of my goat, just looking for the best way to improve

Started each round on the minute.
Skill-
Spent about 5 minute working with 3 45# bumpers strapped together, it sucked so I stopped.
Midline-
20 TGU’s, steady pace throughout.
1) Snatch: 2X1 @ 80%/185 Went with 185 because I was too lazy to not put a 25lb plate on., 1 @ 85%/190, 1 @ 90%/205 – rest 60-90 sec.
2) Clean & Jerk: 2X1 @ 80%/240, 1 @ 85%/255, 1 @ 90%/270 – rest 60-90 sec.
3) 4X2 Tempo High-Bar Back Squat @ heavier than last week – rest 60 sec. Last week I used 305. Today I went with 85% and did 325. Felt very strong today.
Notes: Quick descent, 5 counts (seconds) in the rock bottom, bounce and quick back up.
Strength
1a) 7X3 Weighted STRICT Pullups @ 70-75% (or more than last week) I don’t have a max to work from so I used 44lb kb. Last week used a 35.
1b) 7X3 Thruster @ 70% I guessed my max on PP was 250, but I think its more. I used 185lbs for the thrusters.
I’m pretty excited to test my squat, whenever it comes up. I’m feeling mighty strong right now. The oly lifts were sloppy this morning, I had to redo one or two of them, but I think that must be how it goes once in a while.
1) 80kg, 85, 90
2) 100kg, 107.5, 112.5
3) 137.5 (f second), 135 (f second), 130, 130
No fails on the fast lifts. Tempo back squat felt rough today. Only failed on the second rep on the way up. Back is tight from the DL saturday. Last week did 295 which is 134kg and made them all. Legs just took a hiatus I guess.
1a) 7×3 @ 40kg
1b) 7×3 @ 75kg
Pullups were heavy but doable. Thrusters were easy. Put a belt on just to see how it feels. I loved it. I’m going to start wearing one when squatting from now on. Hopefully it can help bring in some PRs.
Skipped stone work.
Midline: Did 12 reps (6 per) @ 32kg. Oops. Whatever, kept moving the whole time so doesn’t matter. Just got some heavier work in.
snatch-130 max(lowered due to work needed on form) 104, 110, 117
clean & jerk 185 max 148, 157, 167
back squat205-should have gone heavier
pullups-12lbs
thrusters 120
TGU-11 reps
1) 135, 135, 140, 150
2) 215, 215, 225, 240

Felt easy, should’ve pushed a little more.
Strength

1b) 175 Felt strong for all sets!
Skipped stone work (wish we had some)
Midline
24 reps (12 per)@ 24kg
1) 60kg, 65kg, 67.5kg (F x 2) – Holy crap my snatch has gone terrible lately. I honestly don’t know what is wrong..
2) 80kg, 90kg, 100kg, 105kg – C&J’s however were very good. Stoked about this
3) 152.5kg for all sets – I love this excersise! Only increased 2.5kg since last week but I nailed them all. I hope this translates to a bigger 1RM!
Strength – All this work done in 10 minutes
1a) Bodyweight Pullup – Sore elbows lately for some reason (And I weight 95kg, which is a piss-poor excuse I know)
1b) 75kg Thrusters – All easy. 1 Fail in 4th set because I was off balance and trying to go too fast.
Conditioning from 120407
2 Rounds + 10 burpees.
Absolutely crap as per usual on conditioning. I couldn’t butterfly at all because of sore elbows. Gutted.

Did a couple touch and go reps but didn’t have enough time to do more
Midline
13 Reps
Dont know why but my body just did not want to work today:
Snatch: 180#, 195#, 205#
Clean and Jerk: 260#, 275#, 295# (F x 5)
Failed the 295# rep 5 times. Frustrating. Clean was easy, and the jerk for me is usually the easiest part. I kept losing it on the jerk though. Frustrating. My shoulders felt absolutely dead. 295# jerk usually goes up like its nothing.
Tempo Squats: 335#(f), 315#, 315#, 315#, 315#(f), 315#x1
Did 325# last week and it felt really good, wanted to do 335# today but my body just didnt want to work. 315# felt like 400#.
