>The final 2013 Para Bellum Series date will be live tomorrow. It’s in Roseville, CA at CrossFit Determination, from December 13th through 15th.
We’ll start announcing the 2014 dates sometime in the next few months. There are only a few spots remaining for the camps that have not sold out. Make sure you get your spots now, because we will not be repeating dates in any areas that are scheduled now.
>As impressive as all the regional performances were over the last weekend, there was another impressive performance that I’d like to highlight today. Paul Estrada, in his second WL meet, qualified for Nationals as a 105kg lifter. He totaled 297kg with a 140kg Snatch (308#), and a 157kg Clean & Jerk (345#). The Clean & Jerk is good, as you’ll see below, but the Snatch—whoa buddy—that is a thing of pure beauty. No more patented broad jump, just up, down, and a metric shit-ton of speed.
Side note: Paul, don’t slam the bar at Nationals.
Paul Estrada – 297kg Total:
WOD 130605:
BBG
1) 12 minutes to establish a 1RM Power Snatch.

love the yells, paul! nice lifts!
Fingers crossed for a camp in Denmark
May have to try out those blood curdling war cries next max out day…Gotta add at least 5kg to your lift.
Can we do bar muscle ups instead, my place does not have rings.
Well then it looks like you dont have a choice my friend
Does group #4 take a rest day for June 5th or complete the deload week as written?
Sorry, rest day for you guys. I keep forgetting to post group #4.
It’s cool. Great programming for this. Can’t wait to see how I’ll fair! Go hard, that’s it. Just go hard.
Power snatch – 105kg
Power clean & push jerk – 130kg. Power cleaned 135kg but missed the jerk
Cond – 7:13rxd unbroken
Kind of off schedule… But did the power clean and jerk, and snatch tonight, and I am so pumped!
Power Snatch – 138
Power Clean and Push Jerk – 168!!! and I power cleaned 173. This is huge for me, I’ve been stuck at around 150 FOREVER. Finally realized I have to actually think about getting my elbows around and not just getting the bar up. duh.
congratz Paul! If i have the numbers right I was 3 kg away from qualifying for nationals as a 105+ when i hit 140/160 for a 300 kg total at my last meet.
Conditioning: 8:07
1)155#,165#(f)
2)185#,195#(f)
3) MU’s scaled to 15x Pull-Ups/15x Ring dips per round due to location. I was given the advice to put a 20:00 time cap on WoDs until I get better. So today I DNF’d@20:00 in with 2 Rounds done. I kept everything but the KB unbroken, those took forever. Thinking maybe I should’ve scaled the weight. Oh well, another day of sucking..one day dammit!

Another shout-out to the Outlaw crew out at the SouthWest Regional this past weekend. It was an honor competing alongside the athletes and an absolute pleasure getting to know and learn from Coach Spencer Arnold. He is an invaluable asset to the Outlaw coaching staff!

Put the bell down twice on the change of arms more due to lungs wanting to burst out of chest. Was the first WOD I have really pushed for a while and it showed in my conditioning not quite being there to hold onto it round 2 & 3.
