I’ve got no pictures or videos tonight. I’m in Austin, TX, and it’s too hot to do anything even remotely creative.
Did you guys know that Texas actually passed a law which allows them to not have to adhere to “seasons”? They actually just have a year round season known as “fucking hot”, and I’m pretty sure the whole state gets some sort of a tax break because they don’t use the “cooler periods” that all the rest of the states are allowed to use (except Florida, we don’t give them access because they’re not mature enough to handle it). Anyhoo, maybe I’ll get some video of me sweating tomorrow—you know you’re psyched.
WOD 120508:
BB Gymnastics
1) 5X3 Clean & Jerk @ 75% – rest 60-80 sec.
Notes: These are not touch and go reps. Reset before each rep.
Strength
1) 1X20 Back Squat (Group 3 – 2X10 @ 50% – rest 60 sec.)
Notes: This should be a maximal UNBROKEN set. If you completed all 20 reps last week, add approximately 5% this week. If you were close to completing all 20 reps (15-19), use the same weight. If you weren’t close (10-14), take off 5%.
Conditioning
1a) 4X3 Weighted Strict Pullups + ME Kipping Pullups @ 20/10# – rest 60 sec.
Notes: This should be one unbroken set of 3 strict PU then, without dropping off the bar, a max effort set of Kipping pullups.
1b) 4X400m Sprint – rest 60 sec.
Notes: These should be all out efforts. Pacing is not acceptable and degredation of pace is acceptable.
Extra 120508:
*The recommendation is to rest at least 2-4 hours after the day’s normal conditioning before performing this work. If you cannot rest this long, test your resting heart rate before beginning the normal conditioning work and rest long enough for it to return to within 5 BPMs of that number.
GROUP 5 Conditioning
15 minute AMRAP of:
Swim 75m
30 Air Squats
15 HR Pushups
What r u doing in austin, and how long u staying.
While you’re there, you should head over to Crossfit Central and tell them Epic said hello and that he hopes he didn’t offend anyone with any of his previous posts. 😉
I still think that it was more of an insult to Iggy Pop
Dat gimme da lulz, mufucka.
What up Everyone! This is the first post I’ve made since following the blog and workouts. Rudy, my hat is off to you and the rest of the outlaws. The free info and candid posts are both appreciated and entertaining. I lived in Austin for about 9 years (now in Houston). If you think it is hot now, come back in August…
1)5×3 Clean and Jerk @155#
2)1×20 Back Squat @200#, f’ yeah! Failed @185# over a month ago and dropped to 165. Thanks to the outlaw lifters for posting offensive numbers. At rep 8, I figured I wouldn’t get it but decided to get as many as I could. When I was at 15, felt the only reason to stop was if I flat out failed a rep. I almost did at 19/20.
3)4×3 weighted pull-ups @35#
Will do conditioning run with my son this evening.
These 20 rep squats are insanity. I’m doing more for 20 reps than I did for 5 in october. Hopefully it keeps up. I’ll post later.
Hey bro, if you are in Austin for a few days come check us out at Crossfit Austin for some o-lifting.
Hey Rudy, if you are free tonight, you should definitely stop by Crossfit Austin and get some O-lifting in with Chad Vaughn! There is a group of us here who have started following your programming and are loving it! It’d be great to have you come in to lift with us tonight!
