Don’t have time for a long post tonight, but I do feel the need to say thank you to two people. Brian and Clare Sharp, of CrossFit Central London, have legitimately set a new standard for hospitality. They could not have been more patient, and have developed a gym community that clearly reflects how outgoing and generous they are. Thank you, Brian and Clare, for making my first European experience one that exceeded any expectation I could have ever imagined, and for teaching me how to not die while playing chicken with the other UK drivers.

So would this be tomorrows wod? I’m
New to this whole outlaw way.
yes
WOW! EA… you continue to impress me!! Awesome job, ladies. π
Agreed…nice job ladies!
i am new to the programm, and i will like to know hats the recomended rest time between the BB GYmnastics, the Conditioning and the strenght or midline, basicly between each part of the workout, thanks
Yo, I’m not a genius, but to be fair you don’t sound like one either. Haha
So I would say finish the BB Gymnastics…. then get warmed up for run/row.
Then do the run/row.
Then rest a bit, let the heart rate get back down to semi normal…
Then do the midline work.
The whole session isn’t for time, just the run/row, so just move onto the next part when you feel ready to do it.
Just use common sense really, you wont be able to do legitimate heavy TGU’s straight after the ‘all out effort’ Run/Row.
Always listen to the body……………. unless it tells you to burn things……

Wow, badass snatches. Fuck yeah.
Here’s a little lifting from Saturday. Enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09dBX3Qnmf8&feature=youtu.be
Who are you people and why are you so strong. Especially the first 2 guys; those were beastly snatches.
Thanks for coming over Laura and Rudy. It meant a lot to many of us that you chose to come to London as your first twat-tastic, wanker-licous, bollocks induced European training camp.
umm, yeah.
Rudy. So a question regarding the run/row workout today. From my experience both training and coaching, max effort is something that should flatten you and is something you can’t replicate without a thorough amount of rest, depending on what it is, 10 minutes, a few hours, maybe even a couple of days.
In regards to todays workout you are asking for it to be maximum effort, but then state that if your times deviate more than 5 seconds there is a penalty. So my question is are we looking for a max effort that is sustainable or that won’t deviate more than 5 seconds, or are we looking for a true max effort. If you are looking for true max effort the penalty confuses me because I feel like that is an absolute given that the differentials are going to vary more than 5 seconds.
For instance my max 500m row is 1:25.0. When I did that, and when I’ve done anything close to that, we’ll say within a few seconds of that, I’ve been flattened. That is a maximum effort, and I believe a true max effort in the range of 90 seconds can and will completely flatten somebody if done properly. I know from experience doing a 500m row at that effort, which is my max, would lead to a slow run, and then I imagine my next row would be in the 1:40’s because I’m completely tanked as I went as hard as I could. On to the third row I’d likely be as slow as 1:50, so we are talking a 25 second deviation, maybe more. Where as I can probably hold, for this workout, someting in the 1:35 range for all 3 rounds.
Lets take something that is similar in that it uses a lot of the body and similar in time. Dave or Josh’s Isabel times. Both around a minute at max effort. If they were to try and do that again a few minutes later I’m sure the time deviation would far exceed 5 seconds. I know they are not the same, but having done both, I would say they both leave the body in similar states when done at maximum effort.
So maybe I’m reading into this too much, but I guess, given my experiences I’m just looking for a more defined idea of what we should be doing. The burpees are in no way a problem for me to do on either end, I’m just looking for what kind of effort you are looking for. Having done a bunch of the endurance wods from CFendurance I know they are often max effort, but max effort that is sustainable over x number of rounds, so looking for as little deviation as possible. Are you looking for something along those lines, or for people to truly go balls out, because going as hard as possible I see a greater than 5 second deviation being a given.
Any thoughts or insight would be most appreciated. Really enjoying the programming thus far, and our team is getting stronger and having great success with it. One of our ladies hit a 150 Snatch this weekend and one of the guys 245. Thanks in advance for your time and advice.
I think you gave your self a long reply to your own question!
Yep, you answered yourself.
I think Rudy and DW are deep into drankin’ in Dublin by now, so I’ll offer my two cents. The man programmed what he wants you to do. So do it. If you don’t meet the standard, take the penalty.
Pretend it’s a competition and that no one cares about your ponderings on the subject or whether you feel ready to go all out again. Just do work.
Thanks for the thoughts guys. So I guess I approached it like I would for a competition, I went for the fastest consistent times I could, looking, ultimately for the fastest overall time possible. I think this was the most affective option for me, giving the most output in the given amount of time, versus blowing myself up right away and overall doing the same amount of work in less time.
Runs were 1:36, 1:35, and 1:37. Rows were 1:34.0, 1:37.2, and 1:36.6, The descending rest time sure got tough. Need to work on pushing my running pace.
BB Gymnastics: 5×2 @ 125
TGU: 3×5/side @ 53. Went for quick unbroken sets here, kept each side to under 50 seconds.
GHD Sit-ups: Subbed these for the T2B, as T2B are a strong suit, and GHD Sit-ups have been killing me in the workouts lately.
I have been crossfitting for about 2 years now and me and several other idiots from my gym just (today) started following this fucking ridiculous programming and I have to say that this WOD is going to make me feel like I just started CrossFitting.
Thanks guys. WOW EA can I borrow your snatch? Just for regionals, pweeeeeese??
Some highlights from Sat at CFM
Did strength this morning, will do the conditioning this afternoon. The only problem with hitting a 20lb pr on a snatch is that the new weights are FUCKING HEAVIER THAN SHIT. That strength hurt way more than I expected. Snatch is 245lbs, used 160lbs.
Samesies.. PR’d on my squat snatch by 30#, the bb complex @ 165# tore my face off.. loved every second of it.
Runs 1:55, 2:00, 1:58
Rows 1:45, 1:45, 1:40
midline done with 55# tgu
It warms the heart to see how psyched Rudy is to watch lifting at the pub. Like a kid at christmas.
The complex tore my shoulders up – 95, 115,115,115,115 wobbly all over the place.
Conditioning (our loop is actually 500m)
runs – 212, ? (forgot timer, took the penalty) 220
rows 151, 150, 148
I just don’t know how to push it on the runs, and I actually felt like I was this time.
Midline, check
So, 50 burpees worth of penalties total.
1: 125
Cond: 1:35,1:38,1:36,1:43,1:35,1:45
Have a feeling we weren’t supposed to penalize for Run/Row +/- 5 deviation, but I did anyways. Last two Rows off, so 50 burpee penalty 4:06 and felt terrible.
No time for midline.

My times are pretty slow, our 400m run is brutal, first 200m is uphill with a turn around at the top, this crushed my legs for the rows. All I have to say is running on a track in regionals is going to feel amazing.

Sore from the DL/box Jump MC on Saturday.
Just wanted to congratulate Talayna for making it on the crossfit games page! I remember Rudy talking about how she did so well despite her injuries and I loved how she credited crossfit for making her “harder to kill” π its awesome to see Outlaw on the map!! Way to represent π I believe in it!! Now through her performance maybe others will too π Good work!! Fuck ya!! π

2×25 burpee penalties for runs. Runs were hard to pace. I felt like i was just as fast on my second run but was 11 seconds slower. Rows were easy to pace b/c i could see it.
TGU – 2×3 each with 53#. Shoulders felt like crap for whatever reason so I stopped.
T2B – 5×15. Kipping with 60 sec rest b/t sets. Did a couple extra sets b/c of missed work on TGUs.
BBG: 135 — Have some serious sunburn on my back, so I did 4 x Hang Sq Snatch + OHS for each set, 5 times through…Pulls got better as I got fatigued.
Conditioning:
Runs – 1.02, 1.13, 1.21
Rows – 1.32, 1.39, 1.46
Sooooo I got the big green weenie of 100 Burpees after the workout…which I was pretty smoked on. A few too many beers over hockey/pizza combination led to some cramping and overall pussy-dome this weekend. Froning better watch out.
Did the first 50 slow, in sets of 10, then the last 50 as fast as I could, which wasn’t much, around 3:40 — HR was jacked from the sprints
Did some weighted sit-ups and T2B…
Feel great a few hours after, but was on Struggle St. during the wod today…fun one.
Oh and yet again, about 30mph head winds on the 2nd 200m leg of our 400s…that was a nice kick in the balls…on a normal track/windless day I would’ve been :53-55 for sure.
Had a tag-team style comp on the weekend. Partner and I took it (fuck yeah) claiming $1000 prize.
Couple highlights from the weekend, event 1a was max bench – Hit 290 for a 15# PR
Another event was 4 min cap for Isabel + max rep GHD’s – one guy working, can tag in and out only twice. I started on the barbell and was through 20 reps in under a minute tagged at 24 around 1:10-1:20, not sure. But it was good.
Got sick the next day….very achy and sore throat. Last two days combined with that and being sore from a competition have sucked pretty hard.
Supply teaching today, then napped for 2 hrs and dragged myself to the gym.
