“Finding His Way” – by Patrick Cummings.

Clearly I am flattered and beyond appreciative for this article. As odd as this may sound, however, I am truly stunned by the level of artistry displayed in its writing. The subject could have been a turnip, and Patrick would have made it sound cool.



WOD 120711:

BB Gymnastics

7X3 3-Stop Snatch Pull + 1 Hi-Hang Snatch – heavy but perfect, rest 40-60 sec.
DEMO 3-STOP SNATCH & DEMO HI-HANG SNATCH

Notes: This combination of these two movements is meant to be performed in succession. In other words, at the finish of the 3-Stop Snatch Pull the athlete should be set in a stalled Hi-Hang position. Without any re-bending or other momentum, the athlete should immediately perform a Hi-Hang Snatch. It is noteworthy that this version of the Hi-Hang Snatch should should be performed with hip and knee extension.

Strength/Skill

1a) 4 X ME Strict Deficit HSPU + ME Kipping Deficit HSPU – rest 45 sec.
1b) 4 X 5 Weighted Strict Pullups (any grip) – heaviest possible, rest 45 sec.
1c) 4 X 10 Reverse Hypers – heavy, rest 45 sec.

Notes: Deficit for HSPU should be largest possible deficit that still allows for the ability to perform 4 strict reps.

  1. YAR, I seem to be having trouble finding the link for Outlaw apparel. I want to by a tee shirt like all the cool kids.

    Please help my blind, and dumb, ass.

  2. im not sure what the ME in front of the hand stand pushups or the deficit means please help. thank you

    • Max Effort.

      side note: This relates to a comment I had to delete. Homophobic comments (or racist comments) are not permitted.

      Otherwise, be as mean to each other as you want. I really don’t give a shit.

  3. For the snatches…is it 3 pulls then 1 snatch x7 or is it 1 pull + 1 snatch x 3 x 7. Sorry, have had this question several times and still hasn’t been made clear.

    • It’s easy, just solve for X:

      7 = x/[3(3 ssp +1 hhs)]

      😉

      All kidding aside – for serious tho – It looks like this:

      Do this 7 times:
      (3 stop then 1 high hang) + (3 stop then 1 high hang) + (3 stop then 1 high hang).

      Stay alert out there.

  4. I know this has been covered (I’m regards to warmups) where rudy has said to just hit a few light weights and get started, but that doesn’t really work for me/ I’ve seen some other outlaws (talanya) blog and they don’t do that… Im wondering what you guys do in the ways of pre WO warmup/mobility routines to get the mind/body fired up and ready to get at it.

    thanks for anyone that can help.

  5. No, the proper way to do the complex is to do 1 3 stop snatch pull followed by 1 high hang snatch THREE Times, that is 1 set. Do that 7 times…if you watch the videos from the previous weeks you will see athletes doing the snatch pull, pausing at the top of the third stop and then performing a high hang snatch

    • NO!!!! The proper way to do it is to do 3-3 stop snatch pulls and then do 1-high hang snatch. All of you retards that have been posting videos doing 1-3stop snatch then 1-high hang snatch have been doing it WRONG!!! It is written 7×3 3 stop snatch + 1 high hang snatch. If it were to be performed 1 and 1 it would be written 7×3 3 stop snatch + high hang snatch.

    • My apologies, from my extensive Outlaw experience, Rudy has always written it the way I read it. I blame him, not myself, because I am rarely wrong.

      • I remember someone thinking that chest to ring pull-ups was some wildly complicated exercise, and that was only about a month ago. 😉

  6. First time with Outlaw Way, learned about this place through Jay Rhodes. Don’t make fun of my sissy lifts.

    105lbs. on the snatch work (still a new movement for me)

    1a) 4x Subbed 4 reps handstand walk practice (shoulders Mon. and Tues.)
    1b) 4x 35lbs. (try 50lbs. next time)
    1c) 4x subbed dumbell between legs, backwards on GHD just 10lbs. (Too easy, but first time.)

    Conditioning (workout from 120703)

    Rd:
    1)117, 7 cleans@145lbs.
    2)102, 6 cleans@145lbs.
    3)80, 4cleans@145lbs.
    4)80, 4 cleans@145lbs.

    Total reps = 379

  7. WOW: Clarification: 7×3 = 7 sets of 3 REPS, 1 rep = 3 stop snatch + high hang snatch THEREFORE to do 3 reps you must do 3 3 stop pull AND 3 snatches. The 7×3 is used to define how many sets and reps of the movements to follow.

    One more time:
    7 sets of (3 stop snatch pull + 1 high hang snatch)x3

    It’s hard and will limit your weight able to be completed… by design.

    • Well fuck, thanks for making me look like an ass Rudy. Can’t be changing how you write the sets and reps on me, I just get all kinds of fucking stupid, I better watch out I might be asking what ME means before to long.

      • Trust me I wish it were your way… my heart is beating way too hard after a set to be doing snatch 🙂

      • I have always read this the same way that you have, and I think it has been explained your way dozens of times over the last 4 months.

        Any chance we could see a slight change in the way the workouts are posted?

        7X3 (3-Stop Snatch Pull + 1 Hi-Hang Snatch) for the 3 of each

        7X (3 – 3-Stop Snatch Pull) + 1 Hi-Hang Snatch for the 3 pulls + 1 high snatch?

        I feel like a fucking noob, but this would make it crystal clear from here on out

    • It can be confusing, ask 50 people you get 25 that would say 3 3 stop pulls plus 1 snatch, the other 25 say 3 stop pull plus 3 snatches per set.

  8. Good Luck Outlaw Crew…crush it today!!!! Also LGA is correct on the proper way to perform the stop snatch pull and high hang.

  9. Ok, I’m pretty sure that the guy rudy ASKED TO HELP with olympic weightlifting (Spencer Arnold) knows a BIT more about how to perform these complexes than most of us. Hell he does the freaking demo videos for all of the pulling off the blocks anyways.

    This is the paragraph below the movement for today:

    Notes: This combination of these two movements is meant to be performed in succession. In other words, at the finish of the 3-Stop Snatch Pull the athlete should be set in a stalled Hi-Hang position. Without any re-bending or other momentum, the athlete should immediately perform a Hi-Hang Snatch. It is noteworthy that this version of the Hi-Hang Snatch should should be performed with hip and knee extension.”

    IN OTHER WORDS AT THE TOP OF THE 3 STOP SNATCH PULL….THE ATHLETE SHOULD IMMEDIATELY PERFORM A HI HANG SNATCH

    No where in there does it say to do 3 3 stop snatch pulls and 1 high hang snatch or any other variation.

    1 rep is 1 3 stop snatch pull followed by a high hang snatch…for 3 reps per set, for 7 sets.

  10. crap. Beastmodal got shut down and outlaw is cool and full of noobs now. I’m going back to Zumba.

    The notation for the 3-pause high hang snatch is the same as yesterday’s C&J efforts..

    5 x 3 cleans off low blocks + 2 push jerks
