Eric R Crossfit Log

[Eric Lubert]

I've decided to jump on the forums here to start a workout log to keep my training more organized, see what others are doing, and compare notes. My plan is to follow The Outlaw Way mainly because my olympic lifts and work capacity need improved. I do have some mobility limitations (too many years benching in high school) and some joint issues (elbow surgery years ago) but I'm determined to at least snatch my bw with solid technique.

I'm 31, 5'11" 185lbs 10-11% bf

I know Outlaw Way is a ton of volume so I will be scaling and/or modifying the workouts as needed. Maybe even an extra rest day. Also, on the days I can I'll be splitting up the days with oly and strength in the morning, conditioning in the afternoon for a few reasons.

Monday Week 1

BBG
7X1 Snatch from blocks (just above knee)
105, 110, 115, 120, 125, 125, 125

BB Cycling

1) 3X3 UB Hang Snatches (full) from the Power Position – rest 90 sec.
95, 105, 110

2) 1XME T&G Snatches (full) from floor @ 90% of max triple from #1
95x10

Strength

1a) 4X5 Front Squats – work to a 5rm, rest 2:00
165, 185, 205, 225

1b) 4X8 Tempo Ring Dips (3 counts down, 3 count pause at bottom, 3 counts up, 3 count pause at top) rest 2:00
8, 8, 8, 8 these got really tough!

Conditioning

EMOM for 10:00-
4 strict chest to ring pull ups
10 wall ball @30lb

5min rest

Every 2mins for 10:00 (5 sets)
7 ctb pull ups
15 wall ball @20lb

Airdyne 10min cool down.

Taking it easy on the olympic lifts to focus on technique. Even modifying the conditioning part it was rough. That 30lb wall ball man handled me!
