140115

Next week we will announcing the details of our completely re-vamped Remote Coaching services, as well as, what will be the final two dates of the Parabellum Series Training Camps. We’re pretty excited with the changes that will be coming to the RC program, and we think you guys will be too.

Speaking of coaching… Tomorrow I’ll be following up last week’s Muscle-Up analysis video, with a Muscle-Up progression video. This is the same progression we use with the athletes at Outlaw HQ, to get them from none to some fairly quickly. People always ask about it at camps, but we have never fully explained it publicly, so we thought this would be a good time.

  1. I really wish I was doing the 30 muscle ups for time… I’d like to see if I can still do it unbroken. Instead I’m using it as an active recovery day for Wodapalooza this weekend. Maybe I’ll try it next week when I get back. I haven’t been posting much that past few days, but will be back at it after this weekend.

  3. Power Snatch: 195

    2: 155 – felt too light

    1a) 185
    2a) 135 – keeping these light and slow and really feeling the pull in my hammys. Have a feeling they are going to be screaming tommorow.

    MU’s: 6:49 – blah. Going to work with a coach on these tomorrow. Just run out of gas and cant hit more than 2-3 in a row after the first 10.

    5# almost PR for power snatch. Caught a little below parallel, but finally my power catch is becoming one with my squat catch and I’m ‘missing’ correctly, not dumping the bar out front.

    a) 135-140-135

    MUs 4:40
    Finally under 5:00! About a 90s PR. Did triples every 30s and it was finally paced just right.

    6:26 possible PR? was at 24 at 4 min and the wheels fell off, was doing like adam, hit triples and 10 sec rest, then misses and singles all around

  13. Doing all this tomorrow:

    But just read the Time Magazine article on CrossFit and once again they “the media/journalist” only get half the story..if that. (I.e.) Taking CrossFit and simply highlighting proposed negative aspects such as, “crazy”, hyperintensive, “rhabdo”, approach-bogus. Does not talk about building strength, learning & highly refining techniques, metabolic pathway training, mobility, etc. etc. etc. Didn’t really interview anyone with an iota of knowledge in the area of CrossFit/mixed modal/etc. Just not well done; do they not realize that Division I Sports have been training “somewhat” this way for a long time-intensity, pushing one’s self, etc. I wrestled at the Div. I level in the Big Ten and to achieve goals you have to train hard, no one says you can not scale back, drop weight, or listen to your body. Anyhow, speaking to the choir here-Train Hard.

    • This new trend of writing shit on CrossFit started like a year ago, and has since gotten increasingly stupid and wasteful of time. My recommendation is just stop reading anything about the sport that is not written by a top level coach. It is all just bullshit trying to get views and isn’t worth your time or giving them money.

  14. 1) 205 – Smoked, then hit my nuts on 215 and called it.
    2) 165 – Too easy

    1a) 175
    1b) 175

    Cond: 4:15 – 43second PR — Had some left in the tank, but ‘gamed it’ to a good PR — Next time I can go a bit faster — not bad for a 225lb guy with a 6’10” wingspan I suppose. Especially since my upper back is just destroyed right now.

  15. BBG
    1) 260 (5#PR)

    7:38 (Nearly a 2 Minute PR) -still suck at MU but slowly improving.

    *1 Year ago my Max Snatch was 225 and it took me 13:47 to do 30 MU For Time. Today my Max Snatch is 300 and 7:38 for 30 MU.

  16. BBG: 1.) 200# (+5 PR)
    2.) @ 165#

    Strength: 1a) 165

    Conditioning: your muscle up demo video w/ Dan finally clicked & I fixed my MU descent!! 3:22!! Over 6min PR. Thank you thank you thank you

  17. 27/77kg/5’9″/M/CenEast

    4/8/6 – Definitely have a cold, can’t breathe well, and my body felt exhausted…then I started.

    1RM PSn: 145/155/165# – 175F – This is terrible given that my 3RM is also 165#. Knew it was going to be a rough one.

    E30OT30: 135#. 7/7. Felt relatively light.

    SP+PP: 135/145/150#
    Kang Sqs: 105#. Done.

    Conditioning: 6:42. Swore that we had done this during the past 7 months, but I couldn’t find it, so I have no clue if this is a PR or not.

    Started with Adam’s plan of 3 every 30 seconds. Felt great through 15, failed 16, and went to singles after that. Done with 15 in 2:10, last 15 took 4:32. Whole upper body, shoulders, neck, traps feel blown out from this week. Not sure if it’s the cold I have or what, but damn.

  18. BBG: 225. 180 six for six.

    Strength: 165, 170, 175
    Kangs at 135 feeling easier

    Cond: 4:54 something like a 10 minute PR.

  19. BBG:
    1) 175# power form felt way off -20#
    2) 145# very easy

    Strength/Skill:
    1a) 135(still shocked on how I seemed to lose all my raw shoulder strength. Used to be able to hit 165# for a double. )
    1b) 125

    Cond
    3:57 PR by 48sec. Plenty of room for improvement. Not a lung issue.

  20. 205# snatch- PR. One of those weird semi annual days when it all comes together.
    165# EMOM

    1a) 155-165-175
    1b) skipped

    Conditioning:
    9:34. First time doing this. Did 25 in 5:30— got my 26th at 8:30. Hopefully next time can shave several minutes off and the goal would be to go sub 5.
