140108

Posted on by

I’ve had 4 weeks off for the holidays. This is the longest stretch I’ve had without traveling for a while, so I’ve had quite a bit of time to keep myself from going crazy study. This “studying” has been comprised of a little reading, and a lot of playing with Coach’s Eye. Wanna see one of my coolest discoveries?

Paul Estrada from POC (point of contact) to catch (sorry, the landscape cut his head off on the first frame), with 151kg…

Jared Fleming from POC to catch with 170kg…

In no way is this to try to say Paul is ANYWHERE near as good of a lifter as Jared, but it does go to show how important speed under the bar is. Especially when you’re 6’5″ in a sport that doesn’t favor pole vaulters.

Also, it’s a fun little game to play with your own Coach’s Eye. If anyone has a sub .44 maximal lift, send it to me. You’re the champ or are under five feet.

  1. Rudy,
    Have you seen the video of Klokov watching the guy from Cal strength (sorry i forget his name). He mentions in the video that he is moving too fast!? I am interested to hear your thoughts about that?

    diane 8:50 (-2:20) severely disappointed 🙁
    im one of those weird people that back squats more than they deadlift, does anyone have recommendations on what i can do to remedy this (other than spend a ton of time deadlifting and overtax my CNS of course)

    • Read the Outlaw Doctrine: I don’t think a ton of deadlifting has to be done; I’d stick with the programming and continue developing speed-my thoughts

      Sample from the Outlaw Doctrine –
      Recently I programmed a Clean & Jerk cycle with a different goal in mind. We had a group of about 15 folks (anyone I’m talking about here is a general gym member – no competitive CFers) who started a 12 week Wendler cycle, and I decided I wanted to see how big of a difference a specific PL cycle vs. a specific “Limited Conjugate” cycle made. To throw even more excitement into the test, I decided to try something I’d been wanting to do for a while, which was program ZERO Deadlifts, only Power Cleans and Cleans for pulling off the floor and heavy Back Squats for skeletal loading. We did a ton of Hang Cleans – with a full stall – to get everyone stronger in spinal extension with weight hanging below the scapula and held pretty close to Prilepin’s Table for loading.

      I’m sure you get where this is going. We tested 61 people at the end of the concurrent cycles. Of the 12 Wendlers that tested the average PR was just under 18# with – in my opinion – the numbers being skewed a bit by a couple 80+ pound PRs from two people who had rarely Deadlifted before the initial test (one of which who gained nearly 15# during the cycle). There were SIX of the 5/3/1 group who UN-PR’d, and a few others who tested the exact same. Of the “Limited Conjugate” group EVERY SINGLE PERSON PR’d by an average of 40# on the men’s side and 18# on the women’s side. The average male Deadlift, of the 33 men who tested from the LC group was 396 pounds… That’s the fucking AVERAGE. These are normal people. Not a single one of them was from our gym’s group of competitive CFers. We had FIVE dudes pull 500+. My gym is not huge and we didn’t have a bunch of ex-Division 1 athletes testing.

  15. BBG:
    1.) 195 ~ 80%
    2.) 165×7

    Strength:
    1a.) 150, 155, 160
    1b.) 150, 155, 160 (back and Hammies!)

  16. BBG
    1.) 200
    2.) 170 x 7
    Strength
    1a.) 145, 155, 160

  17. BBG:
    1) 135#, 145#x2(PR)
    2) 115# x 11 -I had 12 at my eyes and lost my grip, sweaty

    Str:
    1a) 95/105/115 -Trying to work back to more strict over head strength, my jerk has suffered due to this
    1b) 95# across -Awkward for sure

    Condish
    Abmat under head, 185# DL
    8:17 -should have went for heavier DL but my lumbar region dislikes these

    *Jealous of Amadeu, my Outlaw Shirt is “Lost in Translation” somehow for over a month!!

    • My shirt take 15 business days to arrive to Portugal.
      I need more strict overhead strength too. Any ideas?

      • I am in the US(southeast region) and there are apparently shipping problems.
        I have been working on handstands (free/wall) and KB/DB pressing to work on rotator cuff stability. TGUs and KB windmills are great also.

          • I usually add it in 2 days a week, most often on wednesdays and saturdays since they are followed by rest days so i don’t over stress my shoulders especially since we don’t always know what is coming.

            Core work as well! Everyday! On top of Coach’s programming! Strong core = Strong lifts

  29. Mobility only for the last two days. I think its helped shoulders and calf, but my hips and back need work still. Also ab muscles get tight and sore, I never really spent much time on them before but I ground a lot of junk out with the lacrosse ball. Hope to be lifting again by Saturday.
