>The first 2014 date of the Para Bellum Series will be up on Monday’s post (actually Monday’s post goes up Sunday, so I guess it’ll be up Sunday – I hope I’ve confused you all). We’ll be in Mira Loma, California, January 10th-12th, at Team Outlaw athlete Paul Castaneda’s gym, CrossFit Inland Empire.
We’ll be announcing a few more 2014 dates in the coming weeks, and I’ve finally gotten the go ahead from our staff to book two dates, in February, in the land of the most beautiful thing ever created – the Holden Commodore Ute – aka Australia. This time I’m doing it right. Does anyone know how I can rent a Ute for ten days? Please don’t respond, I’ve already researched it and it’s actually pretty easy.

*If last week’s squats were all easy, and you had zero problem with any reps, you may add between 10 & 20# this week. If they became difficult in the last few sets, and you experienced some legitimate soreness, you may add between 5 & 10#. If you could not complete all sets, could not walk because you were so sore, and you cursed my name daily, then do not add weight.

What’s Smolov 2/4, Smolov 2/3,… Meaning?
2/4= second week, fourth day
Thx u
The Week/Day of our Smolov Cycle. So 2/4 means week 2 day 4 of Smolov.
It means have someone cock punch you.

Can’t stop laughing.
Any chance of a Texas visit in 2014?
Yes sir, working on that after SoCal.
Good deal. Looking forward to it!
How about Alabama? We had Forrest Gump. Make that into a t-shirt.
Yay! You made just made my heart sing!
How about an Alberta, Canada visit…
and Quebec 😀
Is that what they call El Caminos down there?
Panhandle Florida any time soon?… Ever?
Agreed on this one.
Yesterday, Graham and myself competed as a team in an event at the US Embassy in Kabul. We placed 4th in the scaled division (we can’t do muscle-ups yet). We both hit PRs, too. Graham hit a 5# Jerk PR for 235#, and I hit a 20# Clean PR for 215#. Thanks for the programming. Having done the extra conditioning for group #1 back before Regionals really helped us be prepared for the day’s events.
Great job over there guys! That is the comp that I cut my teeth on as well.
Were you there last week Friday, or did you compete last year? I don’t remember anyone getting their teeth messed up. Overall it was a fairly safe day.
wow, not sure how to respond to that.
the 2011 fall games was my first competition, won the Rx with Rober Craig from ISAF, the spring 2012 games I won with Adam Voci, they guy who took over NKAIA from me last tour. Couldn’t make it this year since I’m at BAF
Squats) 152.5kg, weak legs

Did Diane last Monday
2.48 PR by 18seconds, first time completely unbroken. Cut some rest out and can go faster.
This was after max C&J which was 136kg (a 3kg PR)
Coach, I’m trying to keep my feet pointed straight “per k-star” I’ve never had knee pain while squatting until this feet straight thing…any suggestions on proper foot position?
If I feel good with all this squatting volume, would continuing smolov after the 3 week cycle be acceptable? I’m addicted
Come to melbourne coach, i’ll let you drive mine!
Is it an SS, Blake?
love my American Commodore, looking forward to the Chevy SS thoe

Cond ) 5:47 – Not overly impressed with myself here. 1st time ever doing this WOD and I gassed out on the HSPU. Did all deads unbroken but had to break up the HSPU into 3’s for the last 15 or so which slowed me waaaay down.
Gonna see if I can successfully imbed a few videos here. I work out in my garage gym and have had basically zero coaching on my lifts so any input would be appreciated. I can already see I am slow as shit getting under the bar on both my snatch and C&J and my jerk sucks. May need to invest in remote coaching.
Looks like your vids are private
Should be fixed. I’m a moron
Try to get the bar all the way into your hip for the snatch. Looks like you’re hitting the bar a bit too early, making you jump forward to catch it.
For the jerk, push your knees out in the dip and keep your weight on the whole foot. Try to bend your rear leg a bit more in the receiving position, so your body will be more under the bar when you catch it.
Otherwise it looks pretty good. Clean & squats look fine.
Hope you can put this to use 🙂
Sweet gym btw.
Thanks for the input. Garage gym is kick ass. We basically turned a 3 stall garage into a fully decked out gym. Only thing I am missing is a climbing rope.
Elbow (insert lame ass excuse here) … enough so it wakes me up at night. gotta take it easy with the snatches and jerks next week or two! FML!

Advice needed: especially on snatch as I open and atempt to transition my feet from jumping position to receiving position I continually jump backwards and as a result miss the weight in front of me. Any drills/tips to correct this would be appreciated. Thanks all.

Is it possible to get shin splints from too much squatting?
My friend and I both have them after the burpee broad jumps. Soaking in epsom. So tender right now.
Yea after a little deeper thought and considering the timing of the onset, I figured it wás probably muscle soreness from the shock of the broad jumps. Hadn’t felt soreness there in a long time so I got a little paranoid. Thanks for the reply

1A) Just hit old PR @ 145. A little frustrated, I’ve really been working on this and 145 went up with ease, I was pretty confident I could get 150 or 155 today and I just kept failing. I need to rework some of my technique, I think I’m struggling to keep the bar to my chest and it’s getting away from me. Any advice to help fix this?
1B) HIt 190# (PR is 200#). Felt good about this since I was much toast at this point.
Conditioning: Just got my handstand pushups down about 2 months ago. Still fall like an idiot sometimes, but overall went better than before: 7:34.
Squat 10×3 295
Snatch 195

Did mainsite 21,21…3,3 hspu, l pullups instead 12:01
Squats: started at 275 made it the 4th set before failure. Finished with 270 which is +5 from last week. These wore me out.

Diane: 4:40 (:50 off PR).
snatch PR-220 (by 5#)
Clean and Jerk PR-290 (by 15#)
Diane- 5:35(2:30 min PR). Deadlifts were easy but the HSPU absolutely killed the workout for me…
Schedule is kind of whack at the moment because of travels.
Did clean and jerk 1rm: 305 (ties lifetime)
Diane: 4:25. Hiked 3-5 miles yesterday. Made the deadlifts a lot harder. No PR.
Smolov: 255#-only went up 10# this week, but it felt like 50#. I do like all of this squatting though.
Snatch: 185#. Almost had 190# a few times, but I guess my legs were just to tired. Today was 15# under my PR
C&J: 205#-210-215. Cleaned 220 twice, but missed the jerk both times. This was 20# under my PR.
No time for “Diane”
