BP snatched 260lb for the first time about a year ago. It was one of the most perfect lifts I’ve ever seen performed, and he didn’t really get close to it again for the better part of the last year. He’s, however, been knocking at the door for a few months now, and Sunday he got it again. Except this time it looked easy, really easy. BP’s 260lb Snatch:
Today we had the pleasure of spending some time with Colm, Tom, and Will, at CrossFit Ireland. It was a great day filled with bad coffee, good wi-fi, and Colm out-snatching me (full disclosure, I have a pretty severe knee injury and all the bars here spin backwards). I shot a little video so you could all meet the boys and see the gym:

So what’s the guys name who is wearing the kilt around your face?
Read this twice, then almost fell out of my chair. Well played, sir.
Long time lurker, first time poster. Beautiful snatch. Was a pleasure to use the pause/play button to the maximum. Really great positions throughout! Nice job, dude.
haha. glad i wasnt the only one watching this in ghetto slow motion
Rudy, plenty of places in the UK sell proper BLACK filter coffee, you’re obviously not trying hard enough.. Even Starbucks offers two varieties of BLACK filter coffee! If you get stuck just order a BLACK Americano with 3 shots of espresso! And if all else fails just buy a cheap french press, head to a decent supermarket, buy some decent ready ground coffee and make your bloody own! You’re making life hard for yourself.
First proper Outlaw workout in a week. Did all today’s shit plus the 1rm back squat from yesterday, but I don’t understand Communist weights and measure so don’t ask me how much. Snatchapalooza without Olympic shoes sucks and I only have 2 splenda packets left.
So i think you should come to Iceland and do a seminar, we have good wi-fi and great coffee!!!!
Yes!
rudy, what boxes are you going to in scotland? im a crossfitter in edinburgh, and there is a nice box right across the firth of forth that would love to have ya if your around. im sure we could wrestle up some haggis, neeps, and tatties for ya. or a kilt to wrap around your face if you really want one.
1st outlaw wod…on vaca in South Florida…hit yesterday’s conditioning (3rd: Du/pistol/Pj) time = 6:29
rest 10-15min and hit today’s conditioning chipper with Justin of CrossFit Militia.
Time = 10:19
Good to see you on here man. You competing at regionals?
Yessir… I was going to do team but one of our girls got hurt and we only have three on the roster…

Out snatching Rudy was the high point of my life. It’s all downhill from here. Sigh.
Just think of it as the drop on a roller coaster. The whole way down you get to yell “I’m better than Rudyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!”. I’m sure he would appreciate it…
1) 100# – no misses
2) 135# – 1 missed clean, 1 missed jerk, 1 skip
1a) 100# – 11,10,10

16:12, not feeling good today the KBS kicked my ass, did sets of 10 then 5 after 20.
Deads were sets of 5 and 3, stopped at 35 reps after I felt something pull funny in lower back- I figured better safe than sorry.
Extra Work later for group 3, also did Extra Work yesterday p.m.
“Helen”- tied my old PR of 8:35

M/F/S – 4/4/6 (rest day cannot get here fast enough)
EFFFFFF!!! I was doing 2 clean & jerks also! No wonder it crushed me.
Holy! 2 of those as well WOULD have killed me, well done!
1) 170 – Probably to heavy for this work 3 fails
2) 205 – 3 fails
This did a number on me, really underestimated how this would go.

3h later, Conditioning, Group 2 Xtra wod
10’30ish
Used a 2,5pood KB, heaviest thing I could find, very awkward..
Then, “funny enough” the Team wod I composed and did yesterday was approx 50 each of wallballs, deadlift@225, and KBS@32, NEVER go outside of the Outlaw way is the lesson learned.
Instead I did 5 rounds of 1 min row, 10 Burpees afap (to do my penalties), start every 4th minute, suckfest for me and probably what I need.
3/5/5
BB Gymnastics

3/6/5 – felt weak and terrible today, this after 10 hrs of sleep … idk what was going on
O yeah, I just signed up for http://www.cfchampionsleague.com/home.php if anyone else is interested. It’s an 8 week online competition broken down into gender, skill, age, and weight classes. Prize money to be won.
1) snatches done with 155#. Probably a tad higher than I should’ve gone, but only 2 misses.
2) Clean and jerks done with 185#. Didn’t miss a single one, and push jerked all but two (split jerks).
1A) Used 175# (bench press is definitely a goat for me), got 14, 9, 4
1B) strict C2B… Fuck that. Got 5, 6, 3
WOD- 16:30. Deadlifts sucked the wind out of me. Those and T2B really ate up my time, I couldn’t string together more than 5 at the beginning of each set, and near the end I was resorting to doubles and singles.
20 burpees done at 20:00 mark after the WOD was done (3 and a half minutes later). Did 20 in 63 seconds. I think that’s a PR, but I’ve never done that few as fast as possible. Still, a PR is a PR, dammit.
Nshaz out.
1. 170 (no missed reps but man was this tough)
2. 215 (no missed)
3a. 200#-10/9/7
3b. 8-7-6
WOD: 14:50 was moving well enough until rep 25 on the deads then I just died and couldn’t get myself to stay on the bar for more than 5’s. 2pd PV KB swings just kill me too. Last wall ball set felt terrible. Ready for rest day and for the Regional wods!!!
14:50 on the conditioning. Everything was fine except for the deadlifts. I was doing sets of 2 and when i got to 30 I laid down for a minute and stretched my lower back. It felt as heavy as the 315# deads we did on saturday. Gotta get stronger!!!
Gonna hit the BB gymnastics and strength stuff tomorrow. Really busy doing high school senior shit today.
1. 145. Only missed once. My shoulders are pretty fucked, May need PT
2. 195. No problem compared to snatch
3a. 185 10,8,7
3b 5,3,3
Ran out of time, no conditioning.
1. 155 (missed 1)

2) 115#. Above was much harder than expected so I went slower. Did 20 burpees. No misses.
Strength:
1a) 105# 5,5,4
1b) bw 3,4,4

I’m such a dumba$$. Yep. Did 2 clean and jerks instead of 1. I kept telling myself to reread the blog to be sure. Grrrrr!
Third day on but feeling wayyyyy better. Soreness gone, sickness leaving.
BB Gymnastics
185 snatch x 2 every 30 seconds for 5 min
