Michael Winchester has written a pretty great article on what it takes to make a good coach. Click here to read: The Quintessential Coach.

Also, in case the “younger generation” hasn’t seen it, here’s an all-time favorite featuring Coach Winchester.

This video has nothing to do with anything, but I thought it was cool.

Spencer Arnold – 100kg Deficit Snatch Triple (touch & go):

We are starting a pulling wave that I’ve adapted from a cycle which was written by John Dill of CFSS (aka Outlaw 1a). There will be some new movements that many of you may not be familiar with. Please take the time to watch John’s instructional demo videos which will accompany each movement. Also, with this amount of pulling and posterior chain loading, please make sure to get the midline/recovery work in as well.

WOD 130208:

Strength

1a) 7X2 Top Pull Deadlifts @ 85% – rest 60 sec. DEMO VIDEO
1b) 7X3 Bench Press w/ chains @ 50% bar + 25% chains – rest 60 sec.

Notes: The barbell should be loaded with 50% of 1rm, then 25% of the 1rm should be added in chain weight.

2a) 3X5 Tempo Weighted Pull-ups – heaviest possible, rest 60 sec.

Notes: The movement tempo should be up quickly, 3 count pause with chin over the bar, and 3 count descent before exploding back up. DO NOT use a weight that will not allow you to keep tempo.

2b) 3X10 Strict Weighted GH Raise – heaviest possible, rest 60 sec. (no swing, start from a position parallel to the floor) DEMO VIDEO

Conditioning

7 rounds for total reps of:

2 minute AMRAP of-

30 Double-Unders
ME Muscle-Ups (7 rep cap)
ME Burpees

*Rest 1 minute.

Notes: The cap on Muscle-Ups is 7 reps. Once you hit this cap, immediately drop down and perform ME Burpees with the remainder of the 2 minute cycle.

Midline/Recovery

3X20 Reverse Hypers – medium, rest 60 sec.

  1. Question, should we be deadlifting in our oly shoes to keep consistency with cleans or barefoot? Thx

  3. I’m away at school and the gym I train at does not have chains. Is there anyway to get a similar effect without the chains?

  4. Bench question. 25% max weight hanging off the bar at lock out, correct? How much slack? Should the majority of the chain be hitting the floor at the bottom, or should it all stay off the floor for the whole rep? New to this, but pumped to try.

  5. Just wondering when you plan on getting the programming up earlier for as Aussies/Kiwis? Been following 1 day behind like you said but would be handy if you could get the post up 1 day earlier in our timezone. E.g I would have got this in my email last night to do this today instead of doing this on Saturday..
    Thanks

  6. So I have a small delima. The gym that I go to doesn’t have a reverse hyper machine. I know I can’t be the only one that has this obstacle in their way when it comes to following your programming. I have always dropped that part of my work out when you program them in. I hate doing this but I don’t know what my options are. I know the simple answer to this problem is buy a reverse hyper. That just isn’t an option right now as they are not free(or close to it) and I am at a small gym. Is there a substitute movement that will still target the same muscle recruitment?

      • But I don’t believe the purpose of Rudy adding the Reverse Hyper is for the muscle recruitment because its under “Midline/Recovery.” So, I’m also wondering what is a good substitute for the Reverse Hyper, in respect to its rehabilitative effects.

        • I don’t have a reverse hyper either so I rotate between RDl, Straight Leg Deadlifts, Good Mornings, Hamstring ball curls on a Swiss ball and Supine TRX hamstring curls. The last two are probably your best option for recovery. Nothing beats a reverse hyper so just pick something with hip extension and/or knee flexion.

  8. Hey Coach (or anybody really),
    Stupid question and I know that the correct answer should be “Buy chains”, but I’ve gone TDY for the military this month, and I am wagering that the fitness center isn’t going to be keen on me bringing chain in. Any suggestions as to what I can do instead? Thanks in advance.

    • If you don’t have chains you should probably quit outlaw or just do your bench work “strict” don’t want to kip your bench aka “hitemp bounce house” you know it’s for fitness not competition….

  9. That’s what you get for programming different shit.

    USE YOUR BRAIN AND FIGURE SOMETHING OUT YOU DUMB MOTHER FUCKERS!!!

  10. I really enjoy the kindness everyone exhibits on the site. Probably the same d-bags that everyone avoids at their box.
