Lots of “gear” chatter lately. I’m curious how many of you think our sport needs year-around testing.

And… Read this.

WOD 131126:

BBG

6X1 Clean from Power Position + 2 Jerks @ 90% (drop the load if this isn’t possible) – rest 2:00

Strength

1a) 4X3 Push Press From Behind the Neck – heaviest possible, rest 60 sec.
1b) 4X6 (ea. arm) One Arm KB Row – heaviest possible, rest 60 sec.

  1. Are there legitimate concerns (rumors) that CF athletes are juicing? I’ve never read that, outside of YouTube comments which mean jack.

  2. DAMNIT RUDY!!! Just when I start smashing WoDs you throw this shit in the mix. Hey do fran as fast as possible for 5 rounds….CYA!!! Uggggggh

    • 100% agree. I would pay a extra fee for the Open and Regionals to cover drug tests throughout the year of athletes who “qualified”. Too many dishonorable people in the sport now willing to do anything to win. It’s pathetic.

  4. I dont usually post, and im sorry for that. But since the start of my Outlaw journey (May 2013) here is some progress.
    Snatch (May) power snatch: 165, “full snatch”:135 on a super mobile day)
    C & J (May): 231
    clean: (May)231
    HBBS (May): 345
    ———————————
    Present main lift numbers
    Snatch:225
    C & J: 290
    Clean:305
    HBBS: 395 (Def could get more next time we test)

    So my point is… this stuff works!

    So to Rudy and Spencer, I thank you for this awesome, sometimes brutal (like todays 3/6 FS/BS @90%) programming!!

  5. Even though you told the entire camp that you make up the conditioning pieces on the spot, that one today was fuckin perfect. As soon as I hit 20seconds I was leaving my comfort zone and was able to get that effect every round with almost the same reps every time

  6. 1) 275 (85%)
    a) 235
    b) 135 (DB)
    Cond) 46 thrusters @ 100, 41 pullups w/ regular kip and c2b

    Making some progress on the elbow, butterfly irritates the crap out of it so back to relearning the regular kip.

    #TheOutlawWayAfghanistan

  7. 1) Missed first attempt at 155 which is a little over 80%. Made the second so moved up to 165 and failed twice so dropped back down to 135 and worked up at 5# increments. Missed at 150 so dropped it back down to 135 to do one more rep. Suckin today.
    a) 155
    b) 75# KB
    Cond) 35 thrusters @ RX, 44 pullups

  8. BBG)
    6 sets with 225. I would have thought this was impossible just a few weeks ago. My PR C&J at the start of this semester was only 230! Tons of progress.
    Strength
    A) 135-155-165-175
    B) used d bells 65-70-75-80

    Conditioning: 80 reps and I’m NOT happy with it. Felt like going again as soon as I finished. Ugh.

    I dunno about you guys but the last few days have got me feelin wrecked.

    • By the way, I really need to learn butterfly pullups. I train alone and have no one to show me. If anyone else has been in this situation, what helped you?

      • I also train alone and sucked at butterflys. I spent $50 and drove an hour to my closest box and spent an hour one on one with really good coach working on nothing but gymnastics movements (butterflys, bar MU’s, kipping HSPU, etc). I still am not phenomenal at them but it helped me tremendously. May be worth your time and $$$ to do the same.

      • Same situation for me. Carl Paoli’s progressions were MAJOR in figuring it out. http://gymnasticswod.com/movement/butterfly-pull

        Especially the emphasis on leaving your legs out of the equation in the beginning. Learning the upper body rhythm, THEN mastering the leg sweep is huge and most people rush into adding the leg sweep, especially when you’ve kipped for a long time. I incorporated 2-3 sets of 2-3 every single day as a warm up…eventually moving up to 2-3 sets of 5, then 10, etc etc. FORCE yourself to do them every day, FILM yourself practicing, and post your video for people to see. Between Paoli’s progressions, constant practice, and video critiques, I can now do more UB butterfly than kipping pull ups. Good luck!!

  9. BBG:
    270# (90%) – no misses (only 1 jerk per)

    • ok, I lied. thighs are still solid from this morning, but low and behold!! my wife got me an airdyne this past week! so I hop on, hoping to break up the lead in my legs, and now I understand why Rudy yell’s at us to get one

      HOLY FUCK SHIT BALLS I HATE THAT THING

  11. BBG: 245lb – No misses

    1a: 205

    Cond: 11/12, 10/11, 10/10, 10/10, 10/8. 51 Thrusters and 51 PU. Goal was to hit at least 10 of each on every round. Just missed on the last set of pullups.

  12. BBG- 175 no misses. Jerks felt so light, cleans were….WOOF….

    1a) 135
    1b) 70

    Cond- 98 total

  13. Yes, any time you have a chance to win money, and you’re judged on performances there will be “gear” involved. People use steroids for a whole host of reasons – certainly you can understand the appeal as an upcoming athlete to compete with the big boys being temptation enough. Hopefully they keep an eye on all the young wrestlers and bodybuilders kicking the bucket before the age of 50.

    crossfit either need to confront peds head on so we do not end up with a baseball style steroids era in 3-5 years and start testing year round for all games qualifiers (teams included) or just accept that in sport people are going to try to cheat and accept peds like pro strongman and multi-ply gear powerlifting does. although I don’t think as many people are on peds as the internet chatter would imply.

  23. Went to the doc today to have right shoulder examined. Bone spurs. Cortisone shot and PT. Was told OH lifts are bad. Skipped jerks and presses for today but plan to get back at it soon if pain stays away.

  33. It seems naive to think there isn’t any steroid usage going on in CrossFit. Past history shows that when there is the opportunity to use, athletes will use. Until CrossFit gets to the point where it can implement more strict testing that will be the case here as well.

    The interesting thing here is that there are special challenges for introducing year around testing to CrossFit. There is no professional CrossFit league, anyone with 20 bucks an a video camera can compete. So do you test only the athletes that have qualified for the games or regionals in the past? You will let the new people slip through the cracks. Do you test everyone who participates in the open? A complete logistical nightmare and impossibility.
