>Once upon a time Caleb Williams squatted 722# at a BW of 148.5#. Yesterday he did a 335# Hang Clean & Jerk at a BW around 152#. He also has the 69kg American Record in the Clean & Jerk at 166kg, and was tied for 15th in the world on 13.5 with a total of 220 reps.

Now your job is to put two and two together.

Caleb Williams – 152kg (335#) Hang-Clean & Jerk:

WOD 130621:

Strength

Smolov 1/3 – Click Here for Smolov Calculator

HBBS 8X4 @ 80% – rest at least 2 minutes

Conditioning

5 minute KB Snatch Test @ 24/16kg for total reps.

*Note: The goal of this test is to perform Snatches for the entire 5:00 unbroken. You may switch hands at any time, but the final rep count should be evenly split between both arms. These are “Russian style” Snatches, where the KB returns to the hang position (between the legs) between each rep. If you ask if they have to touch the floor “The Enforcer” will be sent to your home.

  1. LOL surely no one would be so stupid as to ask that. Anyway- are these full squat KB snatches or power-KB snatches?

  3. it turns out that i have minor hip tears, theyre not that severe but i still have to take a lot of time off. such an unfortunate situation but im still 17 and have a lot of time ahead

  5. Big shout out to DESERT VALLEY CROSSFIT in Mesa, AZ- after hitting up about 4 other CF boxes and getting denied, these guys let me in and let me continue my outlaw way program while down for my master’s program institute. They were so gracious… and bad ass! Just a big thanks!

  7. Strength) 140kg really smooth, nice bounce out of the bottom

    Cond) 110 reps unbroken throughout the entire 5mins. Broke into 5’s. 55 reps each side. Had a good rhythm going with 10 reps every 30secs. First time doing this test so didn’t wanna push too hard that I would drop the KB but there is plenty of room for more reps.

    • HBBS were supposed to be 240#, however, I had to scale to 225# after 3 sets…still had to fight for all those.

      For the test I followed your example and tried to go smooth in sets of 5 per arm. Came out with 65 reps…far from great, but I stayed solid and relatively unbroken.

  8. Guys i’m new here, a little help please…I know this might sounds rediculous, but what is a HBBS? Thanks for the help

  11. 1 – 325. More mental than anything.
    2. 109 Reps. Put it down once for chalk cuz it was slipping.

    I also just live in Korea and am not Korean. FYI

  21. M/37/210
    HBBD 8×4 @ 320
    Felt strong. Really tried to focus on rapid pace of squats, not resting to much at top. 1st 3 reps felt smooth and fast 4th rep each time was unpleasant.
    KB snatch 120 even. Doing some Internet searching saw some beasts pulling close to 200 reps. Much respect to those folks. I did 20 UB reps each hand, felt challenging but able to maintain pace!!

  22. 1 hr sleep!
    Army APFT AM … Only thing worth tracking was the 13.27 2 mile.

    Sets of 10, i think to get anymore id have to go to larger sets

  43. 1) HBBS @ 170#
    2) Snatch Test: 128 reps UB at 14kg
    *sets of 5 – probably should have done 16kg

    • CrossFit BWI was pretty cool about me doing my own thing. I’d call ahead and make sure though.

      • Ya dude I emailed them. They said they only do there own programming.

  50. M/17/155#

    HBBS – 225#

    Conditioning – no KB heavy enough where I lift, so used DB. 94 reps

  53. Squat @ 225

    Cond: 69 reps @53#… I live in panhandle FL and the gym is an open air facility, had to chalk up twice otherwise the KB would have turned into a projectile and didn’t feel like being questioned for murder this morning!

  55. HBBS 240 got tough

    24kg KB, 112 reps UB, paced heavily but this was fine.

  57. Strength: 310 8X4 no misses

    Hbbs:225 Smalov is a mind fuck
    Conditioning: 70 reps @ 24kg 5 alternating per arm.

    Conditioning:
    100 total reps rx’d

  76. Strength: All sets @290 lb.
    Conditioning: 107 reps, KB snatch needs some work

  78. Adam Kubo
    M/27/5’11″/170/NorCal

  99. smolov 8×4 at 285# legs are feeling better than i expected. rolling lots seems to help.
    kb snatch – 106 reps. no drop, switching hands every 5 reps, helped to save my grip.

    Broke a few times – worried about tearing my carnie hands and ruining their pungent cabbage aroma. They just barely healed up from regionals and I am competing in my first weightlifting meet tomorrow.

    Snatch test: 94. Did 5’s each arm and switched. Only put it down once at about 3 minutes.

  127. Due to unforseen work conditions, was unable to complete my work out today.

    I know dumbass noob, do the program or gtfo blah blah blah, but seriously, for the smolov jr, is it better to skip this day all together or play catchup tomorrow/sunday with no rest day for monday.

    Or should I just look up the “do what the fuck you wanna do” video for myself.

  130. Back Squat 8×4@235
    KB Snatch 24kg: 50 sucked ass, definitely exposed a chink in the armor

    Squat 270
    KB Snatch 103…had a moment say 15 th 20 seconds where I just did kb swings to recover the shoulders. Not sure if this is allowed or itended but i figure it better than setting it down

  148. A) Squats @ 290#.
