Matthew Sage came to our first official Training Camp last February, in Alexandria. Last week I got this email from him:
Rudy,
I just wanted to send you a quick email to give thanks for your excellent programming and coaching. I have been following the outlaw way since January and attended the outlaw training camp in Alexandria in early February. On the Friday’s “lifting session” at the training camp I hit a snatch of 175# (15# pr at the time) and a 255# clean and jerk (10#pr at the time). Then last week I was able to hit a 210# snatch, and yesterday I reached a big goal of mine and hit a 300# clean and jerk.
Again, I just wanted to say thanks for everything that you have done and the sacrifices that you have made to make the outlaw community what it is today.
;
This leads to a short discussion of the fall/winter Training Camp schedule. We’re actually planning on doing less camps this year, in major locations, but will be announcing them further in advance and taking a full staff to accommodate more athletes. This round of camps will have far more instructional time, more specific coaches, and will take up two full days plus our traditional Friday lifting session.
Also, and I hesitate to announce this because I’m sure there will be a million questions, we will be adding an instructors course to the schedule. This course will cover, in detail, the instruction and performance of ALL movements that are regularly seen as part of the Outlaw Way program, as well as, feature a basic programming synopsis for all populations. These instructor courses will be VERY limited in size, and there will be both written and practical testing. There will be MUCH more detail to come about this course, including what passing the course will mean to both the instructor and the instructor’s gym, but we wanted to give everyone a heads up as early as possible.

As if all the motherfuckers ballwashing you daily in the comments wasn’t enough, now we have to endure the emails you receive as well.
Nothing compliments a huge beard like a sparkling clean set of balls.
the beard is history
balls may still be clean though
“ballwashing” hilarious!

Okay gang, I’ve got a question. We all know that our numbers are skyrocketing on this program and we’re all becoming more turbo awesome week by week.
What about The Outlaw Way being used to prepare for a sport that isn’t The Sport of Fitness (thanks Castro)? Would you alter anything that we do to get ready for some competitive rugby?
Dude, I have a competative rugby player following the Outlaw way to the letter and he is doing awesome! It’s officially his “off season” at the moment so the building is getting him strong without being slow/gassed thanks to the conditioning wods. More people who play rugby should stop focusing on slow lifts (and occasionally putting in power cleans) and follow a program which encourages flexibility also (like Outlaw). However specialised Outlaw may seem, it’s far more diverse than the majority of rugby programs I’ve seen.
If he would prefer to be strong but unskilled (in the technical lifts), he could do CFFB. They are designed for contact sports, and have a lot of workouts take place right on the field.
However, if he likes the Outlaw style, and enjoys throwing heavy crap overhead, then the most simple mod would be to make sure he tries to run on grass (or turf) whenever possible during a WOD.
I’m a competitive club-level rugby player currently. I have found CrossFit (in general) to be the best way for me to stay in shape in the off-season. However, I found that most vanilla CF programming didn’t do enough olympic lifting or power lifting in general.
I’ve just recently begun following Outlaw, and so far I have been more than pleased with the amount of heavy lifting and heavy olympic lifting. While the conditioning WODs are great, the only thing I would think about adding for rugby players specifically is perhaps some sprint work (short or mid-distance, depending on that player’s position). However, this is subject to change as I’m looking forward to putting the Outlaw Way to the test this weekend at a 7s tournament. If I come away feeling great, perhaps no extra work is needed at all.
As with all REAL sports — I would say that you could do without the skill training, and instead use that time to do sport specific skill training. I am not TOO familiar with Rugby, and I can’t forsee there to be too much you can practice alone…however if there is anything I would say hit the heavy lifting, conditioning but replace overly skillful shit (kipping hspu/muscle-ups/double unders/pistols) and instead replace them with things like Push Presses, Pull-ups, High height-low rep Box Jumps for power (don’t snap yo shit up), squats, etc.. Then focus additional time on your sports skill/sprints, etc. It is close to a great program for it, I would say CFFB is probably a bit better for you because it focuses less on the skill aspect of CF….though Outlaw will make you more explosive probably.
I’m a american football player in germany, and I had been following CFFB for about 2 years. I became very strong but my power output at cleans and snatches was very low compared to dl & bs.
I have been following the oulaw program for about 3 month during our season, which runs until september/october. I’m following this program 100% from monday to wednesday. Because the games are usually on saturdays, I only do the strength stuff on fridays, maybe the WOD, depending on how demanding this day is. I do not feel slower, I do not feel exhausted. Actually I’m feeling better, more powerful and faster. Just make sure you eat, drink and sleep well and put in some extra sprints.

Hrm, need to find an open pullup bar near me in VA Beach – Near Mt. Trashmore – mine at home just *barely* has clearance for my head! Let the hunt begin!
Go find some monkey bars at a park. I’ve had to do that plenty of times. You may want to tape your hands or bring some chalk though.
I’ve been told Mt. Trashmore has pullup bars. There is a park practically in my backyard, but it has these stupid weird monkey bars (look like this – http://www.byoplayground.com/image/product/pg/product/f/i/file_17_1.jpg) I can use them in a pinch for C2B pullups, but I doubt it for muscle ups. Really looking forward to the conditioning.

Had to do Ring MU’s because there was no bar with enough ceiling clearance to do bar MU
And yes, if you wonder if I didn’t have enough room for bar MU how would I have enough room for ring MU…well I bent my knees and crossed my legs to get enough space from the ground and did strict MU
I have the same problem whenever I do cleans from high boxes. I am extremely flexible so I can go down without losing form but then I end up bouncing the bar of the boxes and into my face. It was pretty comical the first couple times. Now I just have to force myself to stop right below parallel. I can’t go as heavy, but it’s better than starting at mid thigh.

strength 1) 245,275,295 305F
2) 205,225,225,235f. I tried power cleaning 225 back on the rack and ate shit. First few days back form injury and i guess my body just isn’t used to the volume like it was before. Called it quits on the strength stuff to avoid another stupid overtraining injury.
conditioning- 520
All bar muscle ups easy and ub took about 10 seconds each time. I really didn’t start feeling bad until the last couple of rounds. then it got pretty hard.

Conditioning
348 dubs
– Shoulders pretty tired but felt good
No boxes. Did high hang
muscleups were fucking easy mode bro, but what the fuck is with the superstars getting 300+ DUs… drugs man. I got like 150. was I supposed to do a full minute of doubles after my muscleups, not just use the remaining time of the one minute?
BBG: no boxes, did hang cleans at 145
HBBS: hit all the reps up to the last programmed set at 225#, decided to see if i could hit some of my old numbers, failed at 275, and hit 255
2a) push press started at 135, last 2 sets at 165
2b) pause FS started at 165, last set at 205
Was so fired up after the strength work that I went right into the kitchen and ate dinner, no conditioning.

Strength
Recovering from injury and taking square slowly. Skipped back squats today. So hard. I luv back squats
1a&b) 50kg (not heavy not light)
Conditioning
Had to scale bar MUs to attempts which ended u more like bar to sternum pull-ups. Just couldn’t get chest over the bar for the finish.
80 DUs

BB Gym – My buddy was over using my spare plates to bench so I couldn’t make my normal “blocks” – Subbed 90kg Hang Cleans for box cleans
90kg, 90kg, 90kg, 90kg, 90kg – All felt real good tonight
Back Squat
145kg x 5, 162.5kg x 3, 170kg x 2, 180kg x 2 – Very happy with this. My actual 3 rep from the testing day was 170kg x 3 and I knew I had more in me so this proves it. Bar was moving fast.
Push Press – 105kg all sets (F on 2nd rep of 3rd and 5th set)
Front Squats – 130kg all sets
I think I chose perfect weights tonight. Both fails on the PP were very very close, just couldn’t quite grind them out. The front squats were all difficult but steady, I probably could’ve gone up 5kg but they would’ve been real grinds..
Conditioning – Can’t do Bar Muscle ups and didn’t feel up to the conditioning WOD so I did something different instead..
Even minutes – 5 deadhang pullups + 20 double unders
Odd minutes – 5 strict ring dips + 20 double unders
Completed.
gym: 185, 185, 195, 195, 205. First time on programming change. Love it. Getting used to high box start position.

PFS: 185, 195, 205, 215, 225 felt light once well warmed up, don’t know why took so long to warm up, but whatever. I’ll go kill myself with an air syringe.
Conditioning: 251……muscle ups weak right now….working on it.
Thanks for everything. I’ll be back
I’ve been following this programming for a week and have learned a ton and continue to learn everyday. One question I have, is it ok to break up the workout into two sessions, maybe doing the BB gymnastics and strength work in the morning and the conditioning at night.
Living in Texas I notice that after about 30 minutes in my garage with 100+ deg. temperatures I am completely drained of energy and have lost about 5 lb’s in sweat. By the time I get to the conditioning work, my strength has completely deplinished I am ready to pass out. I’m glad to do the workout all in one session if that is the preferred method, but I wasn’t sure if it would be more advantageous to do the conditioning at night when I can perform a lot better from being rehydrated and having a lot more energy?
Your thoughts are appreciated!
I hit my workouts all in one session, I know some of the other outlaws do the same…As far as is it “designed” to be done all at once…I dont know, only one of the coaches can answer that.
