Apparently this question/comment…
So my, and probably a bunch of other peoples, season is over. Is there an Outlaw approved ‘I’m-going-to-put-conditioning-on-the-back-burner-and-lift-heavy-shit-and-get-strong-as-for-the-next-month-or-two-and-hopefully-gain-some-weight’ program? Like I’m talking maybe doing 1 or possibly no metcons at all. We all know that there’s no fast track to putting on the size and strength like dumping metcons for a bit, and in my own personal experience doing this conditioning comes back quick; I just want to use any time off conditioning as best as possible. Plus it’s a nice mental break. I figure there’s no time to do it like the present for those of us who aren’t going to the games.

…caused enough of a stir, that I have to break from my regularly scheduled exercise commentary and lulz-making, to answer it with some sort of intelligence. Fine.
Jordan, what did you have in mind? Maybe a Hatch cycle? Or you could try the Conjugate Method—I hear it’s pretty effective. Sorry, I couldn’t help but take a couple shots.
Look, I know that in approximately 12 days there will be 25 people who are following this site, and are officially still a part of the season (do the math, 7 individuals, 18 team members, SO FAR). I know the other 150 to 15,000 of you are now officially training for next season. This, however, doesn’t mean there’s a better option for your continued development.
I’ll let you in on the big secret: make sure you don’t tell anyone. The Outlaw Way is a strength & conditioning program designed for athletes. There’s really no other way to describe it. The fact is that most of the athletes who follow the program happen to play “the sport of fitness”. I, therefore, build the general framework of the template around the seasonal demands of the sport. When the season is over (in 12 days), and we’ve done 2 weeks of testing/data collection, we will immediately go into our off-season developmental program. I’ve actually laid this out in the Template section of the Doctrine page:
When you plug the Limited Conjugate into all aspects of programming, you can begin to design daily WODs that will build to a bigger goal. The goal here is to be prepared for CrossFit competitions and CrossFit Games season. I would use the exact same design and template no matter what I was trying to prepare an athlete for, depending upon the demands of their season. The loading and volume of the program will change as we move closer to the season, then back to the off-season. A few weeks ago Brandon (Phillips) said to me, “It’s the off-season. We should only be doing enough metcon to keep us hungry.” I couldn’t agree more. Here are the basics of what we’re doing right now:
From 4 weeks after the Games until 4 weeks before the Open begins: This is when we build. If you’re worried about losing your “wind” because of a local competition, then you have your priorities wrong. I’ve moderated volume to ensure that strength/power/skill building will not be stunted. We’re working on the highest level (that we will need) of gymnastics skills as frequently as possible and are practicing to attain a virtuoso level with the Olympic lifts (for overall athletic development). Add in some good old-fashioned CrossFit.com-style ass-kickery, some traditional S&C Barbell and Bodyweight movements for overall strength gains, and govern it with a Limited Conjugate method that does a perfect job of keeping everything in order.
Last year we started 4 weeks after the Games, because we were dealing with a group who was made up of Games participants. This year we will start building as soon as our testing period is over, 2 weeks after Regionals. That will allow for 6 months of “I’m-going-to-put-conditioning-on-the-back-burner-and-lift-heavy-shit-and-get-strong-as-for-the-next-month-or-two-and-hopefully-gain-some-weight”. If you want to go off and do some fucking combination of 5/3/1, Bulgarian weightlifting, CF Endurance, and Pole Dance Fitness, be my mother-fucking guest. I can’t wait to see your spine shoot out your asshole when you attempt that new 1RM Back Squat of 700#. I mean you’re supposed to have that after hitting 17 reps at 60%, right?
RANT WARNING: Stupid fucking exercisers. YOU TRAIN FOR MUSCULAR ENDURANCE. What do you expect to happen when you load the bar with a moderate weight and try to do as many reps as possible? I don’t give a fuck how many reps you did at 70%. The predictive calculator doesn’t provide you with ‘roided out fairies who can float over, throw some Westside chains around the bar, and help you squat a weight that you’ve never even seen loaded on a barbell before.
We will be doing squat cycles, weightlifting cycles, skill development, and a “stay hungry” level of conditioning for the entire off season. They will all run concurrently, be cycled often, and be governed by a method designed to moderate volume while providing maximum positive adaptation.
Jordan, if you want to gain weight—eat more. If you want to get strong as shit—this is probably a pretty good place.

Aww crap now I look stupid.
Jordan, it was a legit question. I WAS NOT trying to berate you. I answered it because many people have asked it, and quite a few people suggested I address the topic. The berating was strictly for the dummies who have no concept of volume or how difficult it is to combine multiple programs which are not meant to run concurrently. Just wanted you, and everyone else, to understand that the off-season is taken into account 100%, and there is no need to randomly jump onto anything else.
I swear I wasn’t attacking you, dude. Totally legit question.
Legit reply; legit! And you sound more and more like Welbourn every day, LOL.
I had the same concern. Not so much what the program would look like come “off-season”, but when would the “off-season” start. Now I know and can’t wait to get going.
Doing GPP stuff at my gym just wasn’t cutting it. I was getting fitter but I wanted CF to be my sport and needed something that took everything into account. I threw stuff together but it didn’t work: overtraining, not hiting everything I need to work on, etc. Love this stuff!
For me : Outlaw Way is to Crossfit what Crossfit was to exercise. I don’t see me going back to anything else.
Dude you come up with the awsomest stuff. Hope that’s a word. I’m not the best strength guy but I’m a decent athlete and there’s no off time. Whatever you throw out I’ll give it a shot.
Thats my coach doing the lateral box jumps in the video demo!
This is what I thought the answer would be. Rudy keep kicking ass and thank you for this programming!
I’m excited about the “Building” phase which will be hitting us soon for 6 months, however, I am considering the very far future (2014) and would like to ask this – Would it be advisable for someone who needs extra “building” to maybe repeat the initial 6 months while the program is gearing towards the Games prep. So that next year on the building phase I have already have 12 months at it. So to put it simply, 18 months of “building” then 6 or Games prep, or 6 months building, 6 months games, 6 months building, 6 months Games, which will put me in a better position in 24 months time?
If you haven’t noticed by now, the common theme 100% of the time someone asks if they should make changes to the program is to 1. jump in today and 2. follow the program as written.
Followed by this:
I understand if you follow the program 100% throughout the “season” you will be better by the time the open comes around but, what if you wanted to be the best you could be for the open after that? By saying “building” is necessary to make the best gains, and to do this you must calm down on the met-con’s, surely by following the “building” phase 18 months out of the 24 would be better than 12?
Thus,
Does anyone else have anything intelligent to say about this before I “do whatever the fuck I want to do”?! Sound advice by the way Drywall!
Stick with it the way it is programmed taking into account off-season and in-season. Don’t waiver from it that drastically. During in-season if you feel there are some weaknesses that Outlaw isn’t hitting consistently enough for you (slim chance) then add in some of that necessary work, but I’d stay with it.
Maybe during in-season just sign up for more local competitions then you would normally and have that be your Regionals and Games.
You aren’t going to get worse by following in-season programming. You’ll only get better.
Just my 2 cents.
Thanks man, that’s a help. I’m now planning to stick with it 12 months of the year, so excited!!!
I would cross that bridge when u get there. I think the point that you are missing is that this is a STRENGTH and conditioning program with a heavy emphasis on strength. Even now we lift heavy weight every day. If u think the conditioning is taking a toll then skip it every once in a while.
Your other two options are to pay Rudy some money to train you personally or do what the Fuck u want.
AWESOME FUCKING RANT! I stumbled across the outlaw just before the opens this year. I’ve been doing what I can to follow the program to the T, but it gets tricky being a
Crossfitter stuck in a globo gym world. The gains in my lifts have been amazing. I can now HPC over 200# and can rep out enough squat snatches to not be afraid of “Amanda”. I think the best coaches in the world in ANYTHING know how to pull from every area of their education and you sir have done that. This fact, coupled with your gnarly fucking beard, have me man-crush jealous of your skills. I believe that the outlaw ways will be what I need to have any sort of chance for a ticket to the north east regionals next year

2a) Bench 275#(This was about 87%)
2b) Good Mornings 95#,115#, 115#. I didn’t know how heavy heavy meant. Haven’t done these in a while so I tried to play it safe. Was probably too light though. Wahts a good weight for this movement?

Reps for bench were 6,5,4
nice time on metcon!…i would have been sub 13 if i didn’t vomit up my spleen and have to take 7 minutes to reimplant it!

I have got to say looking forward to next year. i stumbled onto the site as the open was kicking off. While not a games caliber athlete i am enjoying my gains. Great stuff here love it, just what i needed after hitting a wall as to speak in doing crossfit since 07. Cant wait to see what my lifts are like after a yr straight on following along to best of my limited equipment ablity. Thanks for the great site.
Anyone know of any outlaw friendly gyms in the Houston area?? I’ll be there from May 24th-27th (Memorial Day Weekend)for a wedding and I’m looking at hitting a workout or two while I’m down there.
Check out Universal CrossFit, the follow Outlaw…but also charge $30 to drop in.
http://www.universalcrossfit.com/WorkoutoftheDay.aspx
I live in the woodlands, just north of Houston. U can go to crossfit north Houston. Fridays they do outlaw and the coaches there follow it everyday so they will let u do it during regular class times. There is also the box I go to, crossfit Conroe. We follow outlaw everyday
In league city area. A group of us are doing outlaw. more than welcome to drop in with us. email me if interested and we will work something out.
If your north of town you can come Crossfit Conroe, we’re a new gym and follow the site to a T! If your downtown contact Skyline Crossfit, everyone there follows as well
I’m not for sure exactly what area I will be in. Whats your email in case I’m near you all? I appreciate it.

Just started following the program this week. I love it. I look forward to checking the website everyday like when I began Crossfitting. I hope I get the opportunity to come over to the gym sometime and do a workout.
Great post, reminded me of a “Talk to me Johnny” I read a while ago from John Welbourne. Some guy emailed in asking how he could gain more weight. The answer was more food related than anything.
John said something like “dump olive oil all over a whole pizza, then eat it all.”
I like to find food challenges like this one and eat my way to victory. (this is from a few months before I started doing CrossFit, 30# lighter now but much stronger and just as hungry, going to do the challenge again in a couple weeks because I’m craving spaghettis)
(long vid, use fast forward to see the food)
The Outlaw way makes it easy. If you really want more muscle and more strength, you owe it to yourself to eat like a monster. You’re already training like a monster, chow down like a monster and you will get stronger.

Fucked my thumb up pretty bad on the snatches. Bounced the barbell off the floor, tried to prevent a super high bounce with my hands, and jammed my thumb. Thought for sure it was broken.
Still went through sets at 95, 115, 125, 135# then decided to stop from the pain.
STR-
3×8 good mornings at 115#
Bench did not do from thumb injury
WOD
15:07
Had to use back squats, couldn’t hold FS from thumb. T2B sucked.
Overall pretty frustrated from my thumb

Snatch Complex – Worked up to 60kg. Felt good and no fails. I was moving (comparatively) fast tonight
Bench – 110kg x 1,1,1 – Blarg
Good mornings – 60kg, 60kg, 70kg – First time doing these weighted. Felt my hammies working very hard.
Conditioning – 22:45.
Front squats – 30, 10/10/10, 5/5/5/5, 10/8/7/5
T2B – 9/6, 5/5/5, 5/5/5, 6/5/4
Box Jumps – Slow (step down) and unbroken all rounds except last round which was pogo and fast.
Front squats sucked the life out of me. Huge (read 20 seconds or so) breaks between sets in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th rounds. Pretty bad really.
I know my quads are going to hurt tomorrow. My lower back was getting really lit up too – possibly from the Good mornings?

BBG, 95X1,115X2,135X4
strength-
bench- 205- 1-1-1. This was my previous 1rm i thought maybe it had increased but apparently not. Weird considering my max snatch is only 5 pounds less.
good mornings- 115×3
conditioning- 14:17. Holy fuck this sucked. I must have dropped the bar 5+ times each set. Almost nothing was unbroken but tried to stay moving.
This is the switch in programming I have needed looking forward to the next phase and to the way outlaw programming has pushed me already:
4rds as prescribed……20:53……. Kicked my ass and loved every minute of the whole program.
BB# 70

Good Mornings: 185#, 190#, 190#
Conditioning: 21:19, started out great for the first two rounds, average of 4:30 per round, then hit a mental wall with the FS, not heavy, not that winded, just a shit load of reps that fucked with my head.
