5 days, 2 camps, 314 cups of coffee, and an army of exercisers who may have finally realized that the tension in their hamstrings can be directly applied to move large loads through the greatest fulcrum in history—the ass.
It was a great week+weekend, which absolutely flew by. I’d like to thank our host, Chad Kibbey, of CrossFit Shifted, who provided us a perfect home away from home. I’d also like to give a special thanks to Marc and Daniel from CrossFit Code 3, and Dan from CrossFit LAX, for coming all the way out to the desert and assisting in any way possible. Thanks boys, for everything.
The next camp pictures posted here will be taken in Iceland—never thought I’d write that sentence.
WOD 121022:
BB Gymnastics
1) Snatch: 2X2 @ 70%, 2X2 @ 80%, 2X1 @ 90%, 2X1 @ 95%, 4X1 @ 85% – rest 60-90 seconds for the sets through 95%, rest 30 seconds between reps for the final set.
2a) 3X5 Snatch First-Pull (stopping at the knees) – heavier than 1RM Snatch (110% +), rest 60 sec. DEMO VIDEO
2b) 3X5 Behind the Neck Snatch Grip Push Press – heavier than last week, rest 60 sec.
Skill
10 minutes free-standing Handstand practice.
Conditioning
50 KB Swings 32/24kg
-then-
3 rounds of:
50′ HS Walk
15 T2B
-then-
30 KB Swings 32/24kg
For time.
We rest 60-90 seconds through the 95% set, not just through 90%, right?
Is there a difference between snatch deadlift and snatch first stop pull?
Yes there is and it’s all explained in the demo video 🙂
Snatch DL would have you come to a complete standing position just like a normal DL. For a Snatch First Pull you stop at the knee, thus the name “First Pull” because it is the first pull of the snatch.
Yeah, but if you’re referring to last modays SnatchDeadlift (stopping at knees), then it is the same thing. Stopping at knees is what makes last monday the same as this monday.
Ah yes. That is what I was referring to.
Thanks for having us… my crew and I had an awesome time!

Today was awful. Period.
1) i failed at 90 & 95%, backed off and worked back up to 90% but still felt shitty. My shoulder is f-ing killing me in the overhead position. I feel like I’ve been hammering the snatch for 9-10 months with absolutely no progress what.so.ever!
2a) 100, 130, 135 <– these are easy. They are fast and solid with good technique. When I pulled 100, which I actually thought was 120, I was certain I could have snatched it. Could it be that I am just not warming up enough? I'm just at loss for where to go, what to do to get my snatch numbers up?
2b) 60, 65, 65
Skill: done – got a couple of good ones, but nothing to write home about.
Conditioning: Not sure of time because we all started staggered; I used the 40kg KB b/c we only have one 32. That was a horrible idea.
Steeeeeeeeeeve
today was just another day of lifting heavy shit over your head. there will be many more days of lifting heavy shit over your head. you did your best, feel proud of that and move on.
As far as the shoulder goes, you might want to seek out someone who knows how to do Advanced muscle integration therapy, or AMIT, I heard that John Welbourn was going and getting worked on in Kaysville while he was here for the CFFB cert at CrossFit the club so I went and checked it out, really helped sort out some issues i’d had since my motorcycle crash… Anyways, the master is Dr. Craig Buhler is Kaysville UT, I can get you their office’s number and they can see if there is anyone near you who does it if you want to give it a try..
Zach,
Dude, thanks so much. I sort of needed that.
And thanks for the ref for the Advanced muscle integration therapy – I will see if there are any practitioners around ATL area. Also, good call subbing the bear crawls – HS walks suck!
No problemo brother! hope you can get your broken stuff fixed up 🙂 and hs walks are a huuuuge weakness for me.. love to work on them but yea, bear crawls were a great sub to keep my workout shorter and intensity much higher.

HS Walk- amazing, after keeping the same position as Nose/toes to wall, it started to get easier, but did 25′ turn around, fall, try again. Definitely slowed me down.
KB-Holy hell, that was fun. Found that technique real quick. the Buy out set was not as pretty, form wise.
All in all the programming is really leveling out my weaknesses in various movements! Loving the Outlaw Way!

The Bar Muscle up WOD, 6 rds 1 MU, and a great amount of support form some Saturday morning Outlaws. The Blood Blister and tare in the middle of my palm are a nice little present. No really, I take my tares as a sign of good hard work! Thank you for everything Outlaw staff and new friends!
