I want to give a shoutout to my long-time athlete, good friend, and minority partner in Outlaw Industries – Paul Castaneda. He’s gone from a multiple year top-ten Regional athlete, to a national caliber lifter in the last year. A few weeks ago he qualified for his first American Open – at the ripe old age of 34 – and he keeps hitting PRs, despite the fact that he has no idea how to speak kilos. And, in the next year his Old Man Strength will kick in, and maybe he will be Outlaw Barbell’s first World Champion (if Jeb and Talayna don’t beat him to it).

Strength
15:00 to establish a 3rm Front Squat.
Conditioning
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 14 minutes of:
7 muscle-ups

This is one of the more thought provoking things I’ve seen recently. The average Weightlifting total for this group would be 290kg @ (a very light) 94kg for men, and 177kg @ (an extremely light) 69kg for women. Here are a couple thoughts that I had…
-If traditional CF scaling from men to women is 70% load, something doesn’t add up. 177kg is right around 61% of 290kg. 70% would be a 203kg total; which would all but guarantee a podium at any national meet, and be close to qualifying for an international team. The average women’s bodyweight in this group is also around 72% of the average men’s bodyweight.
-Does that mean women’s weights should be lowered to 61% on workouts? Nope. Women typically can operate at a higher percentage of their 1RM for longer than men (Google studies on this if you’d like proof, or just trust me). Which is why – when scaled to 70% – women’s times/reps are usually equal to men’s, but when weights are reduced to the 60% range; the ladies dominate. 13.1 would be the best example of this. With scaled loads at about 60%, the top women’s score was 211 reps, and top men’s just 199. Twenty women scored 200 or more reps. Blowout.
-A 13% increase on a total is massive. MASSIVE. That’s what happened to the women’s field. With the absence of Camille from the top-ten, and her near international level lifts, this is shocking to me. This is roughly a 20kg increase on the top-ten women’s totals. With roughly 12kg of that increase coming in the Snatch alone. This tells me one of two things happened: 1) the programming favored those who Snatch well (which I don’t believe with Camille, Ence, Wells, and Akinwale all outside of the top ten)… Or, 2) the entire field got way better at Snatching.
-The deadlift is, well… Not a very good test of anything in this sport.
