Sorry boys and girls, I know you were eagerly awaiting the next 600,000 words of my dissertation on a dumb workout, but I’ve actually got something important to announce. Here goes…
After months of discussions, we have finally worked out the basic details of the first large-scale Outlaw sponsored/organized/programmed competition:
The Outlaw Open.
The event will take place November 30th – December 2nd in conjunction with the USAW American Open, in Palm Springs California at the Palm Springs Convention Center. We will accept 70 male and 70 female competitors. The first 20 spots on each side will be filled by athletes who are invited by myself and the organizers. These will include Games athletes, non-Games athletes, and anyone else we’d really like to see compete (anyone have Ashton Eaton’s number?). The next 50 spots will be filled via an online qualifier. No, I don’t have specifics on this, but they will be announced as soon as the website is finished. I realize this is not a comprehensive post, but I wanted to get as much out as I could, and give you all as much warning as possible.
There are a few factors that make the Outlaw Open completely unique in the competition circuit. I’ll try to throw out a few of them now.
-Athletes who are qualified to compete in the American Open will be able to participate in both competitions (assuming they are qualified for the Outlaw Open). USAW has been gracious enough to allow for the B Sessions to take place on Friday, in a two platform format. This means that anyone who is competing in both competitions will be able to Total on Friday for the American Open, and then compete in the Outlaw Open on Saturday and Sunday.
-The Outlaw Open will begin with Oly Total. This means that the first data point/scored event for all Outlaw Open competitors will be a Total. There will certainly be a slight advantage for those actually lifting in the American Open, because they will have an extra day to recover. This should inspire all competitors to at least attempt to qualify for the American Open. The Outlaw Open Total will be judged by professional judges, by the exact same standards as the American Open. And, before you even ask, NO—weight classes will not be factored in for the Outlaw Open. Trust us.
-Once all competitors Total, the classic “competitive exercise” portion of the event will begin. No, I won’t allude to the workouts/tests, but you can expect almost anything (except swimming – probably). We will be looking to test as much as possible, and get as many data points as possible. This means we will likely have multiple scoring points for each workout/test. We need to test as many facets of the athletes as we possibly can, because we want to make sure there is no doubt who the clear cut winner should be. Why?
-There will be a TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR, winner take all, first prize.
Oh yeah, we got this today. More details to come on these tomorrow. Fuck yeah.

Funny, I was planning a family vaca those exact dates and locations.
Coach,
2 questions.
1) would it be wise to place cleans in front of snatches if: 1) snatches make my shoulders a bit hot because my form is a bit out of place, 2) my clean and jerk need more work than my snatch. ??
2) Is it wise to break up the WOD into a two-a-day for intensity sake, or is it preferred to do all of the training components in the same session.?? Thanks
1) says “snatches make my shoulders a bit hot because my form is a bit out of place” – says clean and jerk needs work.
– How about you work on both, in the order listed, as that is the order THEY WILL ALWAYS APPEAR IN COMPETITION. If your form is off for one of them, fix it. its not hard. watch videos. talk to people. film yourself. figure out. don’t load up 90% of your snatch on the bar if your snatch more closely resembles a good morning. Start light and drill technique. Again, figure it out.
2) how will i ever fit this 2-hour long session into 45 minutes?
– this question is addressed at least 4x a week in the comments. If you’re too lazy to go back and read then here’s the answer: you can’t. if you’re doing outlaw you’re gonna be in the gym for a while. If you don’t have that long because you’ve got other shit to do, then come back and finish it later. If you don’t have that long because your affiliate hates your deviation from their strict “we follow dotcom and dotcom only” policy, then get a rack and plates in your garage or find a new affiliate.
Legit wisdom just then.
hahaha thanks dude “z”! That was clear enough. Much appreciated
Sam it’s never a bad thing to switch up the order of the snatch and clean and jerk because of intensity level. It will allow you to have a full tank on the different lifts daily and less on the other. If you always train CJ with depleted energy levels you will never get all you can from the workouts. However on max days or competition simulation days always train them in order.
If you can break the work up into two sessions then do so. BBG first then stregnth/skill and conditioning later.
If we want to be a spectator, do we just show up or is there an entrance fee and if so where would I purchase this?
Masters division/scoring?
Masters division will be held in the parking lot where it belongs.
hell yes.
5am chuckle at that comment, Drywall. Thank you.
Now I have the lulz.
Screw the comp, that’s a fucking great T…
Is second prize a set of steak knives?
Hey guys – scaling question. I can’t quite get a 225# jerk yet, and am trying to figure out how to scale it. Should it be closets close to 1-3RM as possible, or should it be a more a weight that can be sustained somewhat?
Apologies for the ridiculous grammar. Sentence correction on iPhone kicked my ass.
Prolly around 75% 1RM.
Most workouts are created with Jason Hoggan in mind (per yesterday’s post)
His CFGames athlete profile lists his C&J at 280 so his Jerk is probably a little higher (plus rounding to 300 hundo makes teh maths easy)
280 / 300 = 75%
Not easy enough apparently… 225 / 300 = 75%
“Most workouts are created with Jason Hoggan in mind (per yesterday’s post)”
I love teh lulz.
It’s a 60 sec AMRAP, if you can perform your 1RM more then once a minute then its probably not a true 1rm..
this is written for ppl who can jerk upwards of 300.. so work it out to be around 75% of your 1rm
…those shirts would be cooler with a NorCal date on the back…
I want a shirt!
Rudy u r the man!!! see you soon!
Pomp
Prepare to get HQ’ed, you periodizing bastard.
Anyone Outlaw-ing in Minneapolis?
EA, we’re OutLawing in Rochester which is an hour away…. Probably doesn’t help
What is the % for the front squat based off of?
The 1RM testing on the Saturday before last, so 120818
Nice shit, but COPENHAGEN is missing… Congrats on your own open..
2 questions:
1) Is there A, B and C qualifications to the USAW Open?
2) Can foreigners qualify for the USAW Open? I’m weightlifting in Denmark (Europe) and would try to make the qualification numbers at my next meet(s)/hoping that I have already made them 🙂
Would be a great way to come and watch the Outlaw Open….
Qualifying Totals listed here:
http://www.teamusa.org/~/media/USA_Weightlifting/Documents/Athlete%20Information%20Programs/Athlete%20Qualification%20Team%20Selection/2012_National_Events_Qualifying_Totals.pdf
Only one QT for all sessions. Foreigners can certainly qualify for it (i believe) as long as you have a USAW membership.
Thanks!

So that shirt is baller, and I’d love to have one, but I don’t think I qualify for one since I’m not going to any of the camps this year. Oh well, I’ll end up getting the shorts eventually.
Hilarious – OUTLAW is so badass that you have to qualify to wear the shirt! ha!
Rudy any chance the outlaw open will b streaming. I’m sure comcast would love to help you out.
Had to take Wed-Monday off for a local competition last week. Any recommendations on whether i should pick up where i left off or start back on the programming from yesterday? What have ya’ll done before?
Thanks!
I’ll be curious to see what the veterans have to say about this.. since I’ll be running into the same scheduling issue in the coming weeks. thx
Start on the programming for the day. Don’t back track. If you miss it you miss it. That’s what I would do especially if I were missing for a competition.
Awesome, thank you sir! Sad to have to miss the awesome wods from last Fri/Sat. but stoked to get back on it tonight. Thank you coaches for the help and awesome programming!
I have ran into this problem before and the only thing that I have ever made up is a 1RM for obvious reasons
Awesome programming as always, but are you a fucking rock band? A world tour shirt-really? Though the front is badass…

I have been following Outlaw for about 4 months and love it. I look at the posts regularly and a lot of your numbers are real similar to mine. I was wondering how long you have been following and where you started and what not.

OK.. I’m the ‘newes’t noob on the block. Doing WOD’s at my local globo-gym. Any suggestions on jerry-riggin blocks for today’s WOD?? We have 2 Rogue box jump boxes.. just worried about the impact the bumpers will have on the top of the blocks?
anyone have previous experience with this?
Thanks
Set the boxes to the lowest height and put bumper plates on top to the appropriate height for it to be at your hip.
Hmm.. so the bumpers dropped on the boxes won’t damage or break the box? (yeah I’m being a noob). Or are you saying lay bumper plates on top of the box in addition to my weight on the bar?
Sean.. you will break the boxes eventually if you drop heavy stuff on them.. either drop the bumpers on the floor or use your muscles and set it down lightly.. jump boxes do not equal jerk boxes 🙂

5×5 back squat felt good, have to correct a little form. I think I was looking up and it arched my back forcing me to bend over. Glad I have people to scream at me when I suck.
Front Squat Sucked! My legs where fried… Couldn’t maintain weight.. Had to lower. Hellz yeah…

Been following for a few months and this is my first post, inspired by Spencer from this morning.
There are few things more satisfying than watching Spencer get all pissed off because he had to cover a crossfit class and teach the members how to squat. Next time I’ll video it and count the number of head shakes and “wtf” eye rolls he makes in the course of an hour. The low-bar vs. high-bar squat explanation, which not a one seemed to grasp, was golden.

For the Jerks I am assuming we are going from the ground like always, to where the first jerk would actually be a clean and jerk… am I correct? Or is it programmed to take from the rack?
Just wanted to clarify.
Thanks
Doesn’t say clean it, don’t clean it.
Was in a discussion yesterday about hooked grips and if you realease hooked grip or not when doing multiple reps at heavy weight without droping the bar. Of course when doing 1 rep at heavy weight i realease, but yesterdays 7*3 was a challenge and i found it easeier to not realease my hooked grip than bringing the bar back down and regaining the grip.(Especially on the Sntach)
Anyone have any suggestions on reestablishing hooked grip on snatches? Also curious how many of you just stick with hookedgrip and don’t release?
When i said bring the bar back down i meant back down to my quads.
Noob here… still getting completely comfortable with the hook grip. I held on the entire set and didn’t release my hook. Ironically I have this really cool bruise on my thumbnail now? LOL

185 (20lbs PR) since cylce started.- I know it’s not a huge weight by Outlaw standards but only been seriously snatching since about the end of April, no coaching (other than watching Catalyst, Spencer Arnold, Dolega and Klokov in an endless loop) Actually being able to execute the programming as written most of the time has made a huge difference.
At 33, I’m working on old-guy status but Outlaw makes me want to go out and destroy barbells as if I was a spring chicken again. Thank you Rudy, I look forward to getting over 200 in the next month or two (end ball-washing).

Old guy status! Man I’ll be 43 in October and I haven’t even started thinking about being old. I’ve been doing crossfit for about a year and started Outlaw last week. I’m loving it! Getting stronger, and I really think the barbell gymnastics will accelerate my ability with the snatch and C&J. Now go destroy some barbells!
On the cusp of 40 here brother. Amen to that!

This well and truly sucked, but I loved it in the end becasue everyone looked at me like I was some kind of psycho killer. Probably due to the crazy look and determination to do something that I hate and finish it no matter what. I have to say if nothing else the programming teaches you determination and to never quit no matter what.

BBG
1. 100×5.
–Felt really funky once again, figured out it was because they were off of squat-rack pins rather than boxes. The weight sits on the bar instead of the bumpers, making the initial pull under & drive a mess. Gotta get proper boxes.

All felt great besides my hook grip, man my thumbs hurt!
Clean: 123/133/138/143/148
Whenever I do these at hip, my weights stop on the box when I squat…I guess I got long legs and a short torso..totally throws me off.
Skipped strength: I’ve gained 5lbs of pure muscle this month so my conditioning is much harder, damn.
Conditioning: 7 jerks/9:48/3 jerks
Total = 10 jerks.
I didn’t even start jerkin til I had 20 sec left due to how bad burpees sucked. Jerks felt pretty good tho

Felt like a decent effort, but I realized I never sprinted, just stayed steady (read: slow)
