120818

Posted on by

This weekend we’re finally back to some competitive exercising for money. At both Europa Dallas, and Summer Crush, there will be Outlaw “super teams” vying for the tops spots. The Texas Outlaw team will be taking on Europa Dallas, and will feature: Jason Hoggan, Candice Ruiz, Courtney Wuistinger, Christy Harper, and my very own 12-year-old Weightlifting coach, Spencer Arnold. The team taking on Summer Crush is no less impressive, and will feature Lauren Brooks, Sarabeth Phillips, and—in her first competition since becoming the third fittest woman on earth—Talayna Fortunato.

The possible podiums, prize money, and free shit they could win is all great, but I care about more interesting stuff. Like… Which team is better? I know, they don’t match up easily (5 vs 3, odd numbers of chicks and dudes, etc), but there’s gotta be enough there to compare to spark up a pretty good debate, right? I mean it works on the NFL network, it should work here too.

Awe… This makes me miss Exercisecenter. C’mon Pat, give us some predictions. Lemme guess, Azadeh?

It’s Deacon’s birthday. That means I have the excuse to give you guys a really hard workout using the corresponding numbers, and you can’t complain because he’s the cutest, most awesomest little dude in the world. (Yes, his shirt is a little dirty in the pic. He’s a baby you critical assholes. Maybe you should try eating while someone else holds the food.)

WOD 120818:

BB Gymnastics

1) 15 minutes to establish a 1RM Snatch.

2) 15 minutes to establish a 1RM Clean and Jerk.

Strength

15 minutes to establish a 1RM Front Squat.

Notes: These should be at absolute rock-bottom depth. DO NOT stop at just parallel to score a big number. Go to absolute bottom to score a true number.

Conditioning

“Deacon”

12 minute AMRAP of:

11 Pause Pullups
8 Behind the Neck Push Jerks 185/120# (racks may be used)
18 Pistols (alternating)

Notes: Pause Pullups are pull-ups performed with a 3 second pause while holding the chin over the bar. If the chin does not remain over the bar for a full 3 seconds, the reps does not count. If there is debate on how long 3 seconds is, set up a clock within clear view of the pull-up bar and literally watch the 3 seconds count off. These may be any grip and kipping is allowed.

  3. Happy birthday to the baddest ass Outlaw of All Time. Is he crushing baby steps and onto baby handstand walks yet?!

  4. Are you figuring the Outlaw S&C program will be ready for September? I’m really looking forward to it, but I’m going on vacation next week. If the program starts without me, I’ll be as mad as Drywall! Honestly, I may be tempted to kill someone. You just better be greatful that you had such a good-lookin’ kid come outta your nuts, or I’d…

  5. Your baby boy is adorable, happy birthday to Deacon! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I have been following your program for a few months and it’s been the best thing that has happened to me in the 3.5 years I have been doing crossfit. Much love to you and yours, and your outlaw family… Good luck this weekend in the competitions!

  6. When will we see those little dude shirts in the Outlaw store? I know my two little monkeys would love an Outlaw shirt, also are you going to be bringing Outlaw gear to Australia to sell when you come here on the World Tour?

  11. 1st off happy bday lil D.

    2nd off: 3rd snatch PR in as many weeks. #215. Fuck yeah. Before 3 weeks ago I hadnt hit a single PR, on anything, since starting the way in early march. All the joint pain, soreness, lack of energy, un-PRs, ect. Was well worth it when I stood up with that bar. If you’re reading this and struggling with this program, put your head down and do some fucking work. It will pay off.

  41. Took yesterday off. The olympic lifts have strained my back bigtime. To be fair, I think it’s not so much the program; it’s more a result of my awful snatch form. This is week three of learning the lift; still working to improve it.

    1) 165
    2) 205, 215 (F-Barely missed the jerk)

  42. Participated in a competition this weekend in Ventura, Ca. Great event with medium-light weight, high conditioning WODS. I finished fourth and felt very comfortable on the light C&Js and snatches in the workouts. Back to normal Outlaw programming monday but just wanted to say that my capacity and skill have absolutely improved since starting The Way.

  43. Snatch – 85kg (2.5kg PR)
    C&J – 110kg. Very close with 115kg, but I got on my toes and spilled it forward

    Front Squat – 160kg. Happy with this – I could’ve gone higher but my elbows were hurting and as I tipped forward slightl on the heavier reps they were hurting.

    I can’t wait till my C&J technique catches up to my front squat! I should be able to clean more than 70% of my front squat..

    Conditioning – Did my own thing.

    Coach,
    Started competing Oct 2011 and quickly realized I needed more strength to go with my Olympic lifting obsession. Tried Wendler but couldn’t “mesh” it with CrossFit. Found your programming July 17th. Now my dream of making it to the Games one day is revived. Thank you.
