DAILY MINDSET“If you want to be truly successful at it, you cannot be content with pretty good.” – Tim Grover “Pretty good” is decent.“Pretty good” is average.“Pretty good” checks the box.“Pretty good”… is the enemy of excellent. How we do anything is how we do everything… and there is nothing in life worth doing half-assed. Reflecting back on this week, let’s be critical with ourselves. What actions this week have been “pretty good”? It’s rare for situations to happen just once. We can almost guarantee they are coming around for a second time sooner than we think. Let’s take those “pretty goods”… to great. *Coaches – if you could do your best to clear the floor of machines to the middle to open the floor up for farmer’s carries every 2 minutes during the workout. The 100m carry will be from rig to rig 6 times. Up = 1, back = 2… and so on. Have athletes leave their KBs or DBs directly under the rig and then perform the movements on the floor between farmer’s carries For Time:10 Rounds For Time:15 Abmat Sit-ups15 Hand release Pushups*Every 2:00: 100m Single arm Farmers Carry 70/55 *Farmer’s carries – use either a KB or DB of the associated weight. Please record in notes. If not enough of the weight need to accommodate just use a weight as close to the prescribed as possible or a challenging weight for your ability level and note on Sugar WOD *Score = Time it takes to...

It’s your world, your journey. *If uneven amount of athletes, either have extra athlete join another team and shadow. Go when partner 1 goes and rest when partner 1 rests, then complete the run with the team of 2. Otherwise you may do this workout solo, by cutting reps to 8,4,6,3,4,2,2,1 with a 400m run in between each like above. *Scale squat cleans with a power clean + front squat if needed, or use DBs as needed. *Scale rope climbs with 1:1 Half rope climb, 3:1 rope walks, 8:1 knees to elbows on rig or 10:1 ring rows

Kettlebell Complex (single KB) – 15 minutes Placing where you want and handling the KB can be a skill and take some coordination and control.

DAILY MINDSET**“Most of the time we feel tired not because we’ve done too much, but because we’ve done too little of what makes us come alive.” – Jim Kwik** We’re not going to pretend the hard times go away. And that we won’t need to do things that we’d rather not. We have commitments, obligations, and bills to pay. But when we find ourselves in a daily loop of non-stop “work”… we won’t feel like ourselves. But it’s not the time we put in at work that causes this. It’s the time we don’t put in on the other things. Our passions. The reason why we get out of bed in the morning. Yet in the furious pace of our lives, we let it fall to the wayside because we need to get “back to work.” The times where we are the most unhappy, are the times where we are the most untrue to ourselves. Redefine to ourselves what sets us on fire. What makes us come alive. And literally schedule it on your calendar as if it’s a life-saving doctors appointment. Because in truth… it is.

*This is one of the oldest benchmark workouts in Crossfit! So today, instead of going solo, we will do a partner version of it, so you can enjoy the “burn” together! If you decide to go solo or there is an uneven amount of athletes, work through this workout one movement at a time, down the list until complete.Yes, this is a long workout, and may not be completed. *Score – total time completed as a team. If you do not finish, which is very possible, you will add one second to the time cap per rep not completed Document it, and how you completed any movements… when we revisit this workout, you’ll be able to compare your improvements! Partner “Filthy Fifty” – 40 min time cap *Your team will alternate movements. Partner 1 will complete the movements with astericks the first round, as partner two does the other movements, and then they will trade for round 2, so each gets in all movements. Example – #1 – 50 box jumps #2 50 Jumping Pullups, #1 50 KB Swings… and so on alternating until 2 rounds has been complete! Yes you must complete all 50 reps of your movement while your partner rests. 2 rounds for time:*50 Box jump 24/2050 Jumping pull-ups*50 KB Swings 55/3550 Stationary Body weight Lunges R/L=2*50 Knees to elbows50 Push press 45/35*50 Good Mornings 45/3550 Wall balls 20/14*50 Burpees50 Double unders *Kettlebell weight for the original bench mark is 35lbs only, but for the sake of...

DAILY MINDSET**“There will never be a better you, than you.”** There is a lot to be said about authenticity.The first definition inside Merriam-Webster reads, “worthy of acceptance or belief.”If there’s one sure way to find failure in something, it’s through not being ourselves. It just doesn’t pan out in the long run. While we always remain a student, the harm lies when we blur the lines between emulating the traits of our mentors… with trying to actually be them. Our mentors do not wish for us to follow in their footsteps.Our mentors wish for us to go further. To blaze the path further than before. We have incredible leaders to guide us. But it is now on us to push even further. And there’s no one suited better for that, than you.————– Strength – 6 minutes On an 6:00 clock, every :90 perform:1 Power Clean + 2 Thrusters(4 sets) Increase loads across the 4 sets Score = heaviest load complete Conditioning WOD – 22 min cap For Time: 2,000/1,800m Row, 1800/1600m Ski, 100/70 Bike, or 1 mile run (your choice)30 Bar Muscle-ups40 Thrusters (115/85) *Score = Time it takes to complete the workout WORKOUT BRIEF [0:00-3:00]STIMULUS15:00-20:00 workoutConditioning Category: ThresholdIt’s a spin on the classic CrossFit benchmark “Jackie”, but slightly beefed up.It will be very grippy for athletes with BMU’s.The Thrusters will be “the fight” for all athletes.

The one who is willing to play full out with no reserves. The one who swings for the fences. That’s a dangerous person. Dangerous enough… to accomplish something great. We all have a comfort zone. A status quo. It’s warm, cozy, and familiar. But it’s a box, with a ceiling and walls that we can see and touch. It’s a world that cannot grow further than what it’s already grown to. If we want to grow, we have to climb out of that world into the unknown. To face that chance that we may fall flat on our face, because we’re walking in new ground. Yet, as much as a “swing and a miss” may sting a bit, there’s something far worse. Worse than any of that is the pain of knowing that we didn’t try. Life is so short.There’s no time to bunt. Let’s swing for the fences. Conditioning/Strength – 20 minutes As many rounds + reps as possible in 20 minutes... Read More
