Tonight, many of the crew from Outlaw, who have been following “The Way” for some time, were in the gym together. Josh, Sarah, David, Tyler, and Tony “Effing” Mayo have all been following since basically the beginning of the mass version of the program. All of them have been there day in and day out, and they stay no matter how long the WODs take. The boys have begun to have a little competitive fun with their lifts, and have really started to push each other to a place I never really thought “normal” gym people could go. Josh and Tony hit 205# right around the same time, and Tyler had gotten a 225# on the board right before Regionals. David hit 190# about a month ago, but has been struggling with technique since.
In the last 10 days or so many of the OG crew has begun to stick around, and spend extra time lifting off the blocks, while I hurl insults at them (aka “coaching”). The block work, coupled with a few of the tactile tricks we’ve come up with (pvc stick to judge bar track), has made a HUGE difference in everyone’s lifts. I’ve hit a lifetime PR, then Tony, then Sarah tied hers, and tonight with David’s big rival Josh coming back from vacation, it felt like everyone was gonna do something huge.
The reason I’m writing this tonight, and the reason I am so stunned by my crew, is that three years ago I thought no one would ever want to take the time to really become a technician. I thought my gym would fail, and I’d go bankrupt if I tried to implement the kind of program I really wanted to coach. If you’d told me that not only would people take it seriously, but they would enjoy it so much they would hang around in a sweltering gym, for hours on end, to cheer each other to PRs—I would have laughed in your face.
Tonight, with most of the OG crew cheering, David Bock hit 215# from blocks. That was a TWENTY FIVE POUND PR, and put him just ahead of his rival/training partner, Josh. During the session tonight all four of the boys BARELY missed attempts at 100kg. If you couple my lifts with Tyler’s 100kg plus lift, then add Will Moman—another of our “normal members”—who hit 102kg last Thursday, and Tony, David, and Josh’s soon to be 100kg lifts, we will have SIX dudes currently in the gym with Snatches at or over 100kg. I realize there are other gyms that probably have more dudes that can throw more weight overhead than us, but I don’t know them. I don’t see them work every day. I haven’t seen them fail hundreds of reps, but keep trying more.
If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe what’s happening in my gym. I hope the same is happening in yours.
WOD 120703:
BB Gymnastics
1) 7X2 Vertical Clean off High Boxes + 1 Split Jerk – heavy but fast, rest 60 sec. DEMO w/ Instruction – DEMO Side
Notes: Complete both Cleans, then one Split Jerk after the 2nd Clean.
Strength
*The Back Squats are based off of YOUR THREE REP MAX – follow the link, that’s why I put it there.
1) Back Squat: 1X3 @ 90%, 1X3 @ 95%, 1X1 @ 100%, 2X1 @ 105% – rest 2:00-3:00 between sets.
Notes: Percentage is based off of 120515
2a) 4X5 Push Press – heaviest than last week (fuck! it’s heaviest possible), rest 60 sec.
2b) 4X3 Dip Squats @ 120% of 1RM Jerk – rest 60 sec. DEMO VIDEO
Conditioning
4 rounds for total reps of the 4 minute dual effort of:
2 minute AMRAP of:
20 Split Jumps
10 HR Pushups
10 Pullups
2 minutes to complete:
1 ME UB Set of Power Cleans @ 75%
Notes: Power Clean weight is based off of 1RM Clean of any style. This effort should be performed by doing the 2 min. AMRAP first then taking the next 2 min. to complete a single ME UB set of Power Cleans. The athlete may start the Power Cleans at any point during the 2 min. interval, but when the 2 min. is complete the set is over even if the athlete has not broken. Again, the flow of the WOD is: 2 min AMRAP – 2 min to complete 1 ME UB set of Power Cleans, repeat 4 times. ME/UB means Max Effort/Unbroken. When the barbell stops on the ground the set is over. All reps should be touch and go. Resting in the rack position is acceptable. If the set of PC only takes 30 seconds, then the remainder of the 2 minutes is rest.
I’ll be the first to say it… Split Jumps…
I only hope I look this cool while doing them…
What do we do with our hands since we aren’t holding dumbbells.
Oh I know…Spirit Fingers!!!
LGA, sorry buddy. I’ve gotta pull rank on you on this one. That dude is doing some sort of a scissor-y thing. The goal is to basically do what he’s doing, but get the trail knee either on the deck or very close. So yes, it’s pretty much a jumping lunge. More like this…
Ok, that way makes it a little better, but I’m still doing spirit fingers.
Talk of PR’s off the blocks has me wondering… Where are most people hitting these lifts from the blocks in relation to their 1RM? Mine have been 80-85% of 1RM
Above knee, 90% for snatch, and 100%+5lbs for clean.
At hip 80% for snatch, 90% for clean.
80-85% Seems to be right on the money of where it should be.
I hit 210 today. My previous fro the ground PR was 205 which I hit Friday.
I actually get 100% or even a little more from the hang with the snatch because I have a tendency to leave my chest down until late in the 2nd pull from the deck. I have pulled 210 from the blocks and 205 from the deck.
For me, I do better off blocks for snatch. My snatch generally is a huge piece of shit though. I tend to break down on form. So my 1rm off blocks of any height is about the same, maybe even a little more than from the floor. I’m actually not sure what’s going on and thinking maybe I am losing patience from the floor. I might try a slower start pull and accelerate through the midsection as if it were from the blocks the next time we pull from the floor.
Cleans are close from the thigh blocks, high blocks about 85-90%
I’ll be in Hilton Head this week – anyone have a recommendation for an Outlaw friendly gym for Friday?
I live in Charleston, about two hours away. I know its a drive but Charleston is great to see if you wanna make a day trip out of it. Hilton head crossfit isn’t a bad spot but its not outlaw box. Let me know Pat@strongerfasterhealthier.com
Anyone following outlaw from San Antonio area.
Can I sub Jazz Hands for Spirit Fingers? I looked on FAQ but didn’t see the answer.
Any outlaw gyms on the Gold Coast in Australia?
Did I miss the blog that explains how to build the lifting blocks? I know I can google the plans but what boxes does outlaw likes the best…
any boxes that will hold the weight
1) Cleans – 195, 205, 215, 225, 230, 235, 240 (missed 1, then nailed the set)
Strength

Am I supposed to be jealous, Rudy? The few Outlaws at my gym have started working together and hitting PRs and we’re working our asses off…
Rudy – muhfuckas recahnize excellence. Congrats…you’re like a Crossfit auteur.
Rudy, congrats on the success of your gym and your outstanding programming. I have had this question for so long and this blog seems like the perfect time to post. Most people following the program appear to do so with the “season” in mind and have aspirations to be competitive in the games; what do you consider a “normal” gym person (the way) and how does this person differ from the “normal” gym person that follows your outlaw Crossfit programming. What kind of gains do you see with your regular gyms programming? Also how do you determine which lift to focus on in your gyms class vs. the way? The conditioning portion seems, to be a somewhat scaled version of what the way usually does, not that it is any easier. Really just looking for some info on your gyms programming vs. the way. Thanks for your time.
I know snatches are not on the agenda for today, but I have a snatch question.
When is it acceptable to use lifting straps on the snatch. I use them on snatches from the box, and I use them on snatch and clean pulls. I have seen a few videos of lifters using them from the floor as well on the snatch. I have never used them from the floor for a full snatch, and at first thought I would never do it because you cant use them in competition from the floor. But, I was wondering what you guys thought. I saw Rudys post on FB about his broken straps from snatching, then I saw a video if some guy snatching 300+ with straps, so I was curious. I have no problem with my grip what so ever, but I was wondering if people used them so they could focus more on the actually pulls.
I do know cleaning with straps is a hell no. But I am curious about the snatch.
Thanks,
Mike
If your grip strength is not an issue straps are perfectly fine. I use them a lot when we do stuff from the high hang or from the hips off the box. I have used them from the floor a few times when my thumbs feel like they are about to be ripped off. Rudy programs plenty of stuff in the conditioning that will strengthen your grip, so saving it in the BBG is no big deal.
I was at Jon North’s Cert on Sunday and the question of using straps came up: his response was the pros (or at least the guys he trains with) basically use them all of the time; not because of (a lack of) grip strength, but because their hands would be ripped to shreds otherwise. Some will start to taper off of them a week or two before a comp, while others (like himself) will use them straight through warm-ups on the day of competition.
snatching with straps is perfectly safe. use them to save your hands, but its consensus among weightlifters that most folks can snatch more with straps and that the feel of a snatch without straps is slightly different and may throw you off if you’re not used to it (particularly for a beginner or intermediate weightlifter).

Anyone know of a gym/box that follows Outlaw in Nashville, TN? Transferring there for work at the end of the month.
I think there are a few closet followers in Nashville, there are about 6-8 of us that follow at CFMurfreesboro, it’s about 20 miles southeast of Nashville.
Thanks for the info. Murfreesboro may be a bit far. Gonna be working in Nashville near Vandy.
If you’re in the Murfreesboro area, CF Murfreesboro follows it. I don’t think any other CF gyms follow it. A couple buddies and I do the workouts from home and/or at the YMCA near our office. They don’t have anything remotely set up for a CF gym so we’re a bit surprised we haven’t been kicked out yet.
Which YMCA? I’ll be working in Nashville near Vandy. Not sure where I’m going to be living yet though. Brian, Shoot me an email jonkuerzi@yahoo.com

Is it me or was that conditioning sneaky as fuck? Those split jumps get brutal on the second go around each round.
For the first time since starting to work out again i pulled together 10 UB pull ups (twice) so that’s a nice milestone to be back at.
The second round each time of those damn split jumps almost had me in tears. I had two people new to crossfit hanging out watching, so that drove my ego a little bit to not quit (I typically train alone) and they were super encouraging, but GAWHD!
Had to skip BBG ( couple sprained knuckles)

Dropped the weight to 75kgs, only 2kgs over my max C&J=/ I think I’ll go up the more I get comfortable in the rack. Popping it up is not an issue.
