>As promised, the new Outlaw/Pendlay Elite Bumper Plates are for sale over at The Outlaw Store. They come with free shipping on all orders, and are available in either pounds or kilos. I took our new set into the gym today, and the first person who used them PR’d their Snatch (actual true story). Although we can’t guarantee they’ll give you a PR, we can guarantee they won’t bounce up and hit you in the nutsack after you slam your next PR back to the floor.

>Also as promised, the next announced date of The Parabellum Series will be in Fort Mill, SC (at MDUSA HQ) on October 25th-27th. Not only will Coach Pendlay be in house for the camp, but MDUSA staff will be giving guided tours of the facility, and some of the members of Team MDUSA will be around for our lifting session.

WOD 120503:
Strength
1a) 7X3 Banded Deadlifts @ 60% Bar Weight + 20% Band Tension – rest exactly 60 seconds.
*Notes: The bar should be loaded with 60% of the 1RM Deadlift. Band tension should equal 20% of 1RM at the top of the lift. Judging band weight and setup is explained in this DEMO VIDEO
1b) 7X3 Bench Press – heaviest possible/heavier than last week, rest exactly 90 seconds.
Notes: Work up to a nearly maximal load by the 4th or 5th set. Try to increase slightly from last week, and maintain over the remainder of the sets. All reps must be performed with the hips (ass) in contact with the bench.
Skill
15 minutes alternating ME L-Sit Hold and Freestanding Handstand & Freestanding HSPU practice.
*Notes: spend roughly 1:30 alternating between each movement. If you are currently proficient at Freestanding Handstands then accumulate as many Freestanding HSPU as possible during each interval.
Conditioning (2 parts)
Part 1-

21-15-9 of:
Power Cleans 135/95#

Part 2-
4X400m Run – rest 1:1.5, 1:1.5, 1:1, all repeats should be at 100% effort.

Regional Prep Camp link is busted, btw. Can we get a schedule?
Can we expect Outlaw signature Pendlay DoWins? (red on black)
Hey Coach (or anyone really),
Do you have any recommendations on how to tailor what we do for SOF indoc prep? I have to stop with the competitive exercise nonsense because the AF wants me to compete to get in to the Combat Rescue Officer pipeline in August.
Military Athlete ruck based selection prep
not to take away from Outlaw, but check out sealfit.com they have lots of insight and knowledge on the subject of SOF stuff due to their staff and owner.
Bert,
You should keep doing all of the conditioning on here. You should cut out the heavy strength work (squats, DL, bench). You should play the Oly work by ear. Ie if you start experiencing any joint pain cut it out too. The only thing you need to add is a ruck and longer distance run progression. They’re a multitude of them valuable online. Just make sure to start w short distance at sub maximal efforts to give your body a chance to assimilate to the additional volume.
Bert, DO NOT STOP the strength portion of training… It directly translates to power. Selection for CRO/PJ is based heavily on running, finning, evaluations every monday, and water con. That entire school is mental, I’ve seen guys come through that were weaklings and make it and other guys that were beasts quit. Add calisthenics, alternate your running and swimming every day, and be VERY COMFORTABLE in the water. Phase II for CRO or STO is rough but doable. Rudy’s strength training isn’t going to hinder you.
Just be prepared to do lots of flutter kicks and pushups, and start running. When I was training my mornings were dedicated to running or swimming, and my afternoons were outlaw. True, you’re never do a muscle up at INDOC or Phase II, but you sure as hell will do a lot of dips which translates. Most everything he programs translates to everything you do at INDOC, just over the course of 2 months.
If you’re still feeling like you need something different, http://www.sofwod.com is a great source ran by CRO’s and PJ’s… Oh yea, they do A LOT of strength training too…
