Spencer is a large child. Actually, he’s more like medium—at best. When he saw that the rings at CF Lappeenranta were hung from a gigantic moveable hydraulic beam, he started thinking of whacky ideas for an incredibly injurious difficult test of stupidity skill. The final test became: do some Muscle-Ups until you get to the rig, traverse the rig anyhow, then whoever could do the first MU on the other side—without touching the floor—wins. Mike Poppa is our 200#, 275# snatching BW expert, so of course, he won. Here’s the idiocy action…

crawzfett lol! …I’d make fun of Spencer, but I feel like I need to win the AO to earn that privilege.
That’s hilarious, I love how he just dragged over the rig.
That video is fantastic
That was the best lol

Camp is awesome I’ve been once and hate to miss!!
If we PR’d on our back squat recently should we stick with the old PR we started with the Hatch cycle or should we base our % off the new 1RM?

First day that i have felt good all week. It was a rough week for me.
Also I have a question. This statement is copied from the Outlaw Doctrine:
-Met-Con
I know you all love Murph, but you won’t see it here. In fact, if you see anything over 12 minutes, I screwed up. Why?
As I’ve heard Coach say a million times – “All positive adaptations come through intensity”. Intensity is incredibly hard to maintain past 8 minutes, much less out past 12. Also, and this is even more important to me, anything past 12 minutes tends to lend itself to a fuckload of reps.
Does this mean you want us to stop all conditioning workouts at 12 minutes? I am not saying it is not possible to do todays conditioning in 12 minutes, but i congratulate the beast of a man that can do it. I would say i’m pretty good at all the moves from today and i feel my intensity was high and it took me 15.42. Thoughts?
Jake,
Great question. I don’t want to speak for Rudy but I am pretty sure I know the answer here. Two points. First, the sport is changing and workouts extend past 12 minutes. The sport is that way. The exercise program is not. Secondly, going longer than 12 minutes is not necessarily physically developed by doing a workout that lasts longer than 12 minutes BUT mentally it often takes that.
That’s my view anyways.
1) 265
2) 320
FS – 330 x 3, 365 x 1 (10# PR)
Subbed 50 Double Unders for runs on the conditioning to save time.

Went home for a nap and did the conditioning later.
17:55
Feeling froggy so I did something I saw on mainsite the other day:
“Test 3”
Tabata Squat
Max reps of Muscle-ups in 4 minutes
The Tabata interval is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest for 8 intervals. Tabata score is the least number of reps performed in any of the eight intervals. Begin time for muscle-ups immediately after the last 10 second rest interval. Test score equals Tabata score multiplied by number of muscle-ups completed.
Squats: 15
Muscle ups: 20
Score: 300
