>We should have the final two 2013 Parabellum Series camps posted this Wednesday. It’s looking like NorCal and Ohio will finish out the year, then we’ll start working on the 2014 schedule (Hawaii? Another visit to Oz?).
Just to give those of you who are interested in any of the current camps an update, all of the current roster of camps have less than 10 spots remaining. It’s looking like Vegas and Finland will be the next sellouts, so if you like gambling or the arctic circle, you better act fast.
>Phil Kniep – 3 pos Snatch @ 230#:
WOD 130507:
BBG
1) Every 30 seconds for 4 minutes:
1 Power Snatch + 2 Behind-the-Neck Push Presses @ 75%
*Notes: This should be completed as a complex. The bar should be lowered to the back rack after the Power Snatch, and the Push Presses should be performed with a Snatch grip.
2) Every 30 seconds for 4 minutes:
2 (touch and go) Power Cleans + 1 Push Jerk @ 70%
Conditioning
*UPDATE: For Regional competitors, make these 5/4 Burpee Muscle-Ups EMOM; however, the 3 rounds for time portion should not be Burpee Muscle-Ups.
EMOM for 5 minutes:
5/4 UB Muscle-Ups
-then (rest 2 minutes)-
3 rounds for time of:
Run 400m
7/5 Muscle-Ups
21 KBS 32/24kg
Extra 130430:
GROUP #3 Conditioning
*Ideally this work would be performed approximately four hours after the day’s template.
3 rounds for time of:
4 Rope Climbs 15′
12 Push Press 115/75#
16 GHD Sit-ups
Anything in the works for a camp in the DC area?
Would be great if you could make it back to Western Australia!
+1
I notice there are three groups, where could I find info regarding the differences and to which group I would belong?
Justin, the groups are for which of the 4 weeks of Regionals that you’re competing.
Okay, thanks.
Anyone have advice for shoulder mobility improvement / getting comfortable at the bottom of a squat and making your torso more erect? I saw the Bob Takano article a while back, and tried doing some squat overhead presses and can barely do 45# even though I snatch 200. Moreover, even when I do the 45, I find my torso is collapsing forward as opposed to staying vertical.
The exercise I think you’re talking about is called a “sotts press”.
Yes. Are there are any auxiliary exercises / warmups that people recommend to make the body more comfortable in this position?
The lacrosse ball opened up my shoulders unlike any other mobility work has. Check out Kelly Starrett stuff
Lots of things you can do to open up that overhead position. Work mobility on your thoracic area (upper back, front and back). Use a foam roller to lay down on and roll out your back. Do stretches to loosen up your chest/front shoulders. Use a lacrosse ball to smash out your traps, back, and chest. Load a barbell on a rack and get underneath it where the barbell is smashing down on your traps and reach overhead. Use the lacrosse ball to work on your lats and loosen those, too.
You probably also need to stretch/mobilize your hips/glutes/hamstrings/quads to hold that bottom position.
Obviously theres a lot of things that can affect the bottom of the squat, its requires a lot of mobility to be fully erect in that position. Look up those key words in what I just typed on mobilitywod.com and you’ll find a ton of videos to mobilize specific areas. Definitely want to start with the basics and just stretch, though. Hope this helps =)
Thanks. This is all very helpful.
Work on your ankle flexion and get your but between your heel. Here Spencer hooks it up! Especially the “this drill” at the bottom love this one.

The Kelly Starrett stuff is great, but I’ve never found anything more effective than these simple stretches from Glenn Pendlay.

First 3 regional wods posted. Check em out.
Regionals Competitiors:
Not sure if you guys noticed, but you should set the height of your rings for the burpee muscle ups at 82″ for women and 88″ for men (measured from floor to the bottom of the ring).
Good catch, Chris.

Still new to outlaw, so sorry to ask but what does the 5/4 in the UB muscle mean? I know ub is unbroken. Says it again in the conditioning wod with 5/7. Thanks again

2) 235 lbs
Conditioning:
EMOM 5 Burpee MU’s – 5, 5, 5, 5, 4
I think the taller guys will have a slight advantage on these. At 88″ I had to make a slight jump to get a good grip on the rings. This also resulted in the rings swinging around when coming off them. Being a stubby bastard sucks.

Need some confirmation: it says for muscle ups at regionals 88″/82″ from the floor to bottom of ring… But mentions a safety mat on top of the floor? Does anyone know the thickness? If its a standard safety mat I’m guessing 2″ thick? Making the ring height 86″/80″?
Ah, good catch – I did not notice that.
It does say that it will be 88/82 inches “from the bottom of the ring to the floor beneath the safety matting.”
I am guessing they will use the same mats they did last year… and I am pretty sure is this:
http://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-comp-matting.php
Thickness is listed at 1.25″. So that would put your ring height at 86.75″/80.75″.
