131111

Today I got video of one of the most impressive Snatches I’ve seen in a while. This person is not a follower of the site, and the weight isn’t incredibly heavy. She is, however, nine-years-old, and has an amazing third pull. Weightlifting is a beautiful sport.

Karan Lawyer – 20kg Snatch @ 9-years-old:

    • G’damn Nick your BBG is out of hand, nice work.

      Also Happy Veterans Day to you and all #TheOutlawWayAfghanistan. Thank you.

  4. Very rushed. I am home with my folks for the Canadian long weekend and had to get out before the 9am class and the box I was visiting.

    1) three sets at 85%,1 set at 90% ( off 185)
    Strength
    1a) 210 ( only had time for four sets)
    1b) 4×10
    conditioning:
    no heavy KBs here so I subbed a 115lbs power snatch and only had time for three rounds. 132 reps.

  5. 1) finished with 195 – One miss on 2nd rep. Hit both on last set

    1a) 235
    1b) 8/7/7/7

    Cond: did one and 1/2 rounds and quit. Literally CANNOT do conditioning all out after these fs/bs sets. Need to split the workouts into two sessions on these squat days.

  6. BBG: 150 – I will say this. This was my max snatch about a month ago, while my max power snatch was 175. I always base my percentages on the power snatch since it’s higher. I asked the group on this page about how i could get better at catching in the bottom and got some good advice! Like i said 150 was my max and today i did 2×4 @ 150 and nailed them all with relative ease! I think the next time we max i’ll set a BIG PR. Thank you for the help!

    Strength: All @ 200 no misses took about 10 seconds off between FS and BS.

  7. So I wanted to ask my fellow Outlaw competitive exercisers a question regarding this workout at a competition I’ll be competing in Saturday.

    First workout is a clean to hang clean complex. The ladders are similar to the games ladders. The two rows I’m considering starting at are at the weights 255 and 295. There is 35 seconds of work time plus 10 seconds of transition. If I start at 255, the highest I can go is 285.

    I’ve hit this complex, plus the jerk, about 4 weeks ago at 255, 275, 290. Then I tried 300 and missed it. Mid week, so no recovery before hand. I have no doubt that I can hit this at 285. Especially after an easy deload week and plenty of recovery before hand.

    What would you do? Take the risk at 295 or get your points up to 285?

    • Personally, I’d take the points, especially if you feel you can crush the following WODs. “Only” getting to 285# (probably) won’t keep you from winning (or placing really high), but bombing out will.

      • Take the points. My guess is 285 will still be a solid score that will keep you in the competition. If you were to somehow miss and take a 0 right out of the gates it will knock you completely out of the competition before you even get started, plus screw your head up for the upcoming events.

  11. 1) 205, 210, 215, 225(f)
    Conditioning – 235. I tried to put up a total count close to Nick’s but I just ran out of gas in the middle of the 3rd round.

  12. BBG:
    1.) 210x2x2 (80%), 220x2x2 (90%) ~ happy with this 3rd pull is coming along nicely

    Strength:
    1a.)240 ~ 60/60 (48 w/belt) ~ this shit is going to end me

    Strength and form are both improving. 10# pr Clean after workout Saturday (235). Walked away thrilled, and looking forward to a max day as that 235 wasn’t that difficult. BTW, that Spencer Arnold squat video was AWESOME.

  15. On the squats is it more important to hit the weight or the reps ?
    Some days my knees just feel shot

  17. BBG: 135#, Felt better than expected
    Strength
    1a) 170# (I feel like I am getting a lot of benefit from this squat cycle. I had mixed feelings about Hatch and felt like this was def a good switch up with the volume and weight)

    Condish:
    233 (only had a 32kg KB at the gym, would have been less if heavier weight)
