I just received this email…
8 weeks ago I snatched about once every couple weeks (heavy) and my Max then was 250. Today at SoCal regionals I hit 275 and it felt amazing! I owe the thanks to your intelligence of having me clean and snatch pretty much every darn day. Our team qualified for the Games (2nd overall in SoCal), and will continue to follow the Outlaw Way!!
Calvin D – CrossFit CDR
This lift was featured on the update show, and gave me chills BEFORE I knew Calvin and CDR were following. It was part of an 1140# team total. Just to put that into perspective: 1140# is an average of 3 – 230# Snatches for the men, and 3 – 150# Snatches for the women. This is currently the highest team total in the world.
The most dominant group of Outlaws in the entire world, hail from—I’m not making this up—The Cayman Islands. Chris Spigner’s team, from CrossFit 7 Mile, did something that no other team or individual has done. They simply went SIX for SIX, winning every workout of the Latin American Regionals.
Before you write them off as a “bad region” team, their scores would have been good enough to tie Team Outlaw for 5th in the bruising Mid-Atlantic region. Their 19:40 on WOD 6 would have been 3rd in the Mid-Atlantic and basically means Chris has developed at least two women—IN THE CAYMAN ISLANDS—who can do Muscle-Ups with no problems.
Great fucking job, Team 7 Mile. I wear a large t-shirt.
I would like to say; I am proud as hell of Jay Rhodes.
Jay was recovering from a back injury 6 months ago when I started coaching him, and this weekend was really the first time he put it to the test. There is only so much “practicing” you can do for a Regional level competition, and it’s nearly impossible to mimic the level of intensity inherent to the event. Jay’s back could not hold the line after 3 straight WODs featuring heavy pulls, and finally fell into spasm during the almost non-stop spinal extension of WOD 4.
When I saw him drop the bar, and reach for his low back after the second set of 10 Front Squats, I knew exactly what happened. I actually thought he would probably have to just lay down and wait for medical attention. I’ve personally had my back fall into spasm during a WOD, and I know it’s a nearly unbearable pain. Jay, being of Canadian lumberjack blood, decided a trip to the emergency room wouldn’t be a part of his Regionals, and kept doing front squats in sets of 1 or 2, or until the spasms would completely seize him. He actually—SOMEHOW—placed 27th on WOD 4 despite the fact that he was basically done at the 6 minute mark.
Jay’s playing through pain is not, however, the reason I’m proud of him. I’m proud of “The Mayor of Canadia” because he was in 10th place coming into Sunday, and he had every right to quit and bow out due to injury. Jay Rhodes being Jay Rhodes, simply walked into the arena Sunday morning, warmed up, decided to “give it a go”, and with weakened erectors snatched the 2nd biggest individual lift of the Regional (more on the Outlaw destruction of the Snatch Ladder tomorrow).

there is a problem outlaw nation, check out Summary Video of Canada East Womens Workout 6 at the 1:46 min mark. the bearded wizard has changed his ways. no more fuck yeahs i guess.
Come on, Brent. Didn’t you see the baby? What kind of a monster do you think I am?
It’s a BABY. You get to swear around them until they repeat it. At this age, people will think he can’t say “truck” properly. Which he probably can’t anyway.
I don’t know, I’m with Rudy on this one. My daugter dropped a “fuck” at about 16 months, took everything I had to keep from laughing. Blame that on my wife, she curses like a sailor when she drives.
Yep, my middle child was 14 mos old at Christmastime and got a buttload of fire trucks for Christmas. All I and everyone else heard about for months were firefucks. Nice!
How much time should you rest between the BB gymnastics and the conditioning?
That’s up to you. No set rest time. I usually wait as long as it takes me to break down my bars from the BBG & Strength and setup for the conditioning. Some people even break the BBG & Strength and the conditioning up into 2-a-days.
Our shirts fit a little small so I’ll bring you a large and an XL out to the Games. I can’t thank you enough for the awesome programming that you gave us. My wife and co-owner is on the team and I saw first hand the work she did. Awesome stuff man. You should be proud.

*My gym wants me to do at least 2 wods that they program per week and I would have had to mod the heck out of today’s conditioning (no rower. no 100# DBs.) So, today seemed like a good day to knock out one of those CFR wods.
Congrats outlaw nation. Those are serious numbers going to The Games.
I hate to ask what I am sure I will get ripped for (a noob question), but let’s say you’re an old fellar, like me, and sometimes time or recovery does not allow you to do the whole workout. Is it best to skip the BBG, Conditioning, or Strength? Ideally I won’t be skipping anything, but with a 1.5 year old, full time summer teaching gig at the college (fucking lowly professor’s salary keeps interfering with my games training, HA!), and like real life getting in the way…what would be best to skip in order to optimize the program? I know Welbourn suggests if you follow CFFB to NEVER skip the strength. I assume given the man crush, the same applies here?
Thanks
I would say it depends on your strengths/weaknesses. If getting stronger is your main priority, I would def do the strength work and maybe cut back on the MetCons if you have to. If you need to work on your engine and you have to skip something, maybe don’t do the strength that day and get the conditioning in.
If both are about the same- do the strength. Strength kills as we saw in the Regionals.
Thanks Ty. Makes sense.
Does anyone have or know of any good plans for making your own jerk boxes? I’m just getting into Outlaw and I have my own garage gym. Resources are limited, so I’d like to make my own jerk boxes.
Thanks for any replies!

alright started good but I was working my way thru DUs @ bout 3:11 at bout 60-70 DUs and BAM sharp ass pain just above my left temple (u know where that wormy little throbbing vein runs to yer brain.. yea there!) got all kinda f”d up and dizzy. so took a 3:00 rest. felt normal again to a degree so I:
1 cut intensity
2 changed DUs to singles
3 changed DB Snatch to 70#
it still continued to cause me a few problems throughout finishing but I figured I’d stroke out if it got too bad and my face was still cooperating on both sides, so I figured I wasn’t stroking out lulz. Anybody ever have any problems like this? The DUs caused the pain, farmers carry I had to take a break at 100′ cause it started back, and DB Snatch at 100# caused sever pain and dizziness also…. Never felt anything like it before.
Anyway total working time was 12:07

Had something similar about a year ago. Mine was in the back of the head, but the symptoms were the exactly same. Was fortunate to be working out with a few neurologists at the time and they suggested that I was too tight the upper back and neck. Took a few days off, got a massage, and everything was straight.
Brandon, I had this same thing a couple years ago during a max unbroken set of doubleunders. It felt like something exploded in my brain… then for about 6 weeks any time I worked out intensely it would come on again in a dull ache, especially if I did any jumping. I was able to work through it but it was pretty annoying. I’m pretty sure it came on because I was holding my breath. I did a lot of research but never figured out what it was… I looked into exercise induced migraines, brain tumors… lol. But it just went away and I’ve never had an issue again.
sounds like an exertion headache. increasing thoracic pressure via valsalva maneuver (or holding your breath to stabilize) can increase blood flow to the brain to the extent that the carotid sinus can actually ‘over stretch’. normally there is some stretching through regular beat-by-beat pulse, but its excessive in this case and can actually hurt with each beat due to the over stretch. could be what you experienced. best way to recover is to take some rest, avoid valsalva, and keep from contracting midline excessively with weight overhead. just try not to increase blood pressure too much while lifting, can take a few days or even months to make it back to normal – everyone’s different. good luck
I agree with the above assessment. And also say if you are having sharp, intense brain pain (that just sounds bad), take the intensity down a notch. Just pretend you’re pregnant (as much as that’s physically impossible) and you can’t get your heart rate over let’s say whatever % you seem to have this problem at. Mkay 🙂
That’s an impressive list of Outlaws going to the WSOE…
My left knee has been complaining for the past week, and really increased volume after last Friday’s workout. I think it’s either a bad case of ITBS or a strain in my distal hamstring; the pain is primarily on the outside of, and behind, the knee. Had some swelling this weekend and took two days off to ice and rest as much as having 2 small children will allow.
Felt better / less swelling today, but modified program until it clears (or properly diagnose if it doesn’t clear up soon). In the meantime, figure I can work on one of my many weaknesses — pressing strength.

hey guys, quick question.
Do you generally just do the programming and then call it a day? Or does anyone add extra stuff in afterwards. I ask because I’m used to doing a large amount of volume training (which is likely why my strength gains were slow) and I feel like I should be doing more when I finish the outlaw programming.
don’t get me wrong, i’m fucking WORKED after i complete it all, but I’m thinking maybe some assistance work or an extra WOD after would be good to add every other day or something. Opinions?
if I want to do more, I do more.
On days when we squat, I usually hit my legs with more squats again at another point in the day, because I feel that I’m lacking there.
I do put a limit on it if it inhibits my ability to perform well on Rudy’s programming. I hardly think that I know better than he does.

This was my first Outlaw Way day of programming. I decided to start following after watching athletes at the SoCal Regionals and researching the Outlaw Way. The ideas of this programming fall in line with what I have been working towards and piecing together from different Simmons, Burgener, and Mainsite elements. I loved the stimulus I felt today and I plan on updating daily with my progress. Myself and two other athletes at my gym are embarking on this little journey together.
