Hey guy’s. My name is Jason Haywood (the other dude in the video) and chad’s training partner. I to have been following your program leading up to the regionals and finished in 6th place overall. Love it. Just thought I would let you know.
Kind regards from down under.
Jase
Chad is a beast!!! Will do awesome again in LA.
i love benching
Beautiful lifts Mackay.
With so many Australians coming out of the woodwork might be time for a training camp down under..
sounds good!
And pop over to New Zealand while you’re at it, there is a bunch of people following down here too!
Cool to see Chad and Jason have been following, I wonder how many other top athletes are following undercover…….
The Australian Regionals was awesome! Ive been following for the last month or so the only part i have not followed has been the strength. I have a lifting coach and i follow his training and programs.
A huge shout out to all athletes from Australia and its great to know that the top athletes from Aus are on this site 🙂
Training Camp to Australia is a must!!
PS: Im traveling over to the states to watch the games in july so ill make sure to keep an eye out for the outlaw crew.
I wanna go 😉 !
Hahahahaha! I know why! #IllTake3Please
Where’s Lauren?
THIS is what you came up with T?? “Lulz”
Maybe we can just get them to read the weather report shirtless for the next video… There is that better Erin?! I’m shy so shut your mouth when you’re talkin’ to me!
Hahahaha, Thats more like it…I thought I might have to translate your thoughts for you! 😉
its in the same time zone as Japan .. they can go see you in September when they are done with us up here!!!!!
I never know whether to bench westside style or bodybuilding style.
I’ve been trying to go Westside but I have a hard time keeping my upper arms externally rotated and it’s just a bit painful. Gone back to bodybuilding style. Then again, I’ve also seperated both shoulders (right shoulder twice) and tore my left pec about ten years ago. I may not be the best example…
My Name is Mahdi Te Heuheu. I’m the third guy in the video. I came 8th in the region. I have also been following this site for the last 6 weeks, I will follow it all the way to the 2013 games!
Outlaws everywhere! I love it
Loved the Haka Mudz. How many from Mount Crossfit are following? We have about 3 of us at Crossfit Newmarket who have just started this week, been lurking round this site for a while……. You coming up for CFNZ Battle Royale 4?
While I’m no crossfit badass, i too have been following from Auckland, New Zealand..
Shaun where do you train?
Hey mate,
Im a garage crossfitter in South Auckland.
I have some bumpers, bar, squat rack, kettlebells and rings.
It seems to be working pretty good so far!
Rock on Kiwis (oh, ok, and Aussies)!

Are you in the games?? Those are insane numbers! I just started following this 2.5 weeks ago, I hope I can get to those numbers one day haha.
I took the time to look you up on the games website. Good numbers in the open!
Thanks man. I decided to go team this year but have been to the games 2 years ago with Crossfit Wilmingtons team. I am now at Crossfit Vitality and I have started following Outlaw 2 weeks ago as well. I look forward to becoming a better athlete this year. He seems to have a great program that produces great athletes. Good luck to you this year!
Do you have a link to that video
I replied with 3 links to your comment further down on the page but it says it is waiting on moderations. If it doesn’t go through soon. I will repost them.
Anyone else still wrecked from all those GHD’s Monday?
My first Outlaw post is in reply to you. 6 WOD’s in on Outlaw and I am mangled in general..especially from the copious amount of squatting and those GHD’s.

Question for all you guys who snatch with a lot of layback at the top: anyone else start mangling their back when they started learning this?
I’m chucking around old PB weights really easily now, but I’ve also pulled a lower trap, a spinal erector and pissed off one of my SI joints in the process too (seperate occasions).
I don’t normally “do” injuries, anyone got any tips beyond stretching the shit out of my hip flexors and getting stronger abs?

Awesome stuff. Been following the Outlaw way for 2 weeks now and been feeling great. I wish I was introduced to the Outlaw way sooner.
Interesting article posted today on the Journal from Bill Starr about the deadlift. I don’t want to spark the debate of “to deadlift or not to deadlift”, so my question to the Outlaw crew is this:
Mr. Starr suggesting using lifting straps as often as possible. What is your opinion? Should you use wrist straps so grip strength is not a concern? Or do you think it’s better to get the grip strength up before worrying about crazy heavy lifts?
The same goes for wrist wraps, do you folks use them or no?
Also, I’m not a games competitor and don’t know for sure, but are lifting straps allowed in competition? What about wrist wraps? I figure if they’re not allowed in competition, then why bother using them in training?
Just curious, that’s all. Thanks for any replies.
In exercise competitions, we throw around barbells like Thai hookers. You need all the grip strength you can get.
In certain lifts, using straps helps lift more weight, so that is a decent reason to use them. For instance, you might only be able to snatch 205 with no straps, but 225 with them. So you can improve by using straps by adding more weight, but your not going to get a stronger grip. If you use straps (which I occasionally do), you have to add some grip strength training into your regiment (which I also do). Hope that helps.
the only times I use straps are for heavy rack pulls, snatch pulls, and clean pulls

Then went throught the workout.

Ended up snatching for about an hour and loved it.
Bench press – 250# (45 # PR. Thumb bothered me a little bit, still a little sore from spraining it one week ago. Maybe if I had been able to get that last working bench press day last wednesday I could’ve thrown up 265-270)

– realizing my upper body is pretty weak
CONDITIONING: 11:45 Rx
Almost killed myself with the 1RM Bench Press. Jumped a little higher than I should have with no spotter. Got stuck under the weight. Normally in situations like these, I just tip the bar to the right, weights slide off, bar goes flying to the left. No issues. Yesterday however, weights didn’t want to slide off. It was damn scary! Next time I’ll have a spotter. Successfully hit #185 on the bench though
3 pos snatch – worked up to 125
Bench 1rm – 255 (no pr)
Conditioning – 15:15
7 x 1 snatch:
115 – 115 – 115 – 135 – 135 – 115
-on the 5th set i was in the hole and lost my balance a bit, had to dump the weight forward and did the roll backwards…clueless idiots in my gym all rushed over to make sure i was ok since they’ve never even seen a snatch before…lowered the weight so as to not freak anybody out.

New PR at this bodyweight (170 lbs.) 235 x 1

BBG – Skipped
Bench – 110kg. Pathetic
Conditioning – Subbed 2km row for run and 24kg KB swings for Pullups (it was freezing outside)
23:25. Also Pathetic. Row was in 7:30 and felt good. Lower back stiffened up on the KB swings straight away – its usually my grip which limits me. KB swings – sets of 10 the whole way. HSPU’s – all strict, sets of 3-5 with big (read: 10-20 seconds) breaks to let my back feel less stiff.
I don’t know why but my lower back was limiting my HSPU? Weird.
Crap night, rest day today then hit it hard tomorrow
BBG: 105 for all sets; worked from top down. Focusing on getting under the bar and locking at in hole. Love Olympic lifting everyday.
Bench: 175lbs which was my previous max from about 5 weeks ago. 185 failed. 180 got stuck half way back up fought for 6 seconds but couldnt lock it out.
Conditioning: 23mins; mile at about 85% did it in 6:44 Pullups were real good. Butterfly’s coming along nicely can get 12 connected before i lose my rhythm. HSPU are shit, did 10 for each set. Must’ve spent like 12 mins struggling with these.
Extra: 7-8 sets of a Complex i made up of 1 power snatch, 3 snatch grip push press, 3 1&1/4 OH squats. Did at at 95lbs.
BBG:
75
Strength:
Had to skip. All bars were taken. Grr. Will definitely make up.

conditioning: 13:23, HSPU’s continue to get better.
PR’d mile time easily with a 5:23. Really felt like i could have gone faster on it too. Just kept a steady pace so I wouldn’t blow myself up for the rest.
BBG: 7×1 3 position SN, worked up to 125#, really trying to nail down and drill my bar path from knees to hips and final pull (“arched angel” as North commented on), seems light, but I need to drill the shit out of the tecnique
Bench press: 300#
Conditioning: 20:37, run surprisingly under 8 min at 7:40 and pull ups were best in a while, HSPUs still shitty but steadily improving
