WOD

*The daily workout and endurance workout will be the same today! DAILY MINDSET“You’re not your job. You’re not how much money you have in the bank. You’re not the car you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet. You’re not your (expletive) khakis.” – “Fight Club” (Movie) The football player wears shoulder pads and a helmet. The chef puts on an apron. The accountant brings a suitcase everywhere she goes. These are materialistic identifiables, but it tells us nothing about who they really are. If we were to strip ourselves of all materials, who are we? If we were to take away our job, our possessions… how would one describe us? Let character be what defines us. Let it be our loudest statement.

DAILY MINDSET **“When I write, I feel like an armless, legless man with a crayon in his mouth.” – Kurt Vonnegut** It can be easy to forget that even the greats are full of awkwardness and clumsiness. Yet the man quoted above is known to have changed the face of American literature. But despite Vonnegut’s success, he didn’t start that way. It was full of fumbles, false starts, and embarrassing mistakes. Yet where others in his shoes stopped, he chose to keep going. Forcing himself to move forward. He kept taking one more step, even when the process did not seem rewarding. Awkward and clumsy is not just OK… it’s part of the way. ———————– Conditioning WOD 2 Rounds For Time: 20 Push Jerks (135/95) 4 Rounds of “Cindy” 800 Meter Run Accessory Midline 3 Giant Sets: 20 Weighted AbMat Sit-Ups 25 AbMat Sit-ups 30 Second Hollow Hold Rest 2 Minutes Between Sets

DAILY MINDSET“For most of us, the problem is not a lack of goals. But rather too many of them.” – Roy F. Baumeister Goal setting can be exciting. We all love doing it… thinking about the future. To plan, visualize, and dream. It’s arguably a major strength of ours, as there rarely ever is a shortage we can list off. The quote brings to light that this strength is however a double-edged sword. For we can create so many goals that we actually dilute our focus. And dilute our time and effort. It’s not that some aren’t important to us, but… if everything is important, then nothing is important. Less can be more. In the words of Confucius, “Person who chases two rabbits, catches neither”. Strength – 15 minutes Build to Heavy Sets of 5-4-3 DEADLIFT We’ll have 15 minutes to build to a heavy set of 5, heavy set of 4, and heavy set of 3 To stay on track with time, consider the following approach: 3 Warm-up Sets 3 Sets of 5 2 Sets of 4 1 Set of 3 This approach works out to 1 set roughly every 2 minutes, which gets the work completed within the 15 minute time frame Conditioning WOD – 15 minutes As many rounds + reps as possible in 15 minutes of…60 Double Unders30/24 Calorie Machine15 Deadlifts (225/155) WORKOUT BRIEF [0:00 – 5:00]DESCRIPTION Today’s day of training will feature deadlifts in both the strength and conditioning components We’ll start by building to...

Frustration, doesn’t get a vote. Weakness, doesn’t get a vote. Negativity, doesn’t get a vote. Only you do.” – Jocko Willink As humans, we like comfort. And anything that challenges that comfort, will be met with resistance. And lots of it. It’s our innate self-preservation mechanism kicking in. Yet there is a difference between acknowledging the voices, and listening to them. It is a choice to be lazy.It is a choice to be frustrated.It is a choice to be negative. When we can see these emotions for what they are, we can acknowledge them when they arrive. And then put them where they belong. They do not get a vote in how we live our lives. Only we do.

DAILY MINDSET“Live life on purpose” – Simon Sinek As simple as this sounds, every action we take in our lives should have a clear and defined purpose. As an analogy, let’s use money. When we spend money, there’s a reason. Food for tonight’s dinner, a new pair of shoes, gasoline. It’s very easy to justify. We would never throw our money into the wind. Yet… we can often find ourselves doing so with our time. Unlike money, which can cycle back around on the next paycheck, we don’t get restocked on time. Be it a morbid thought, we know our days here are limited… time is our most precious, irreplaceable resource. As we move through our day, take an objective look at the actions we take. Like a CFO analyzing a day of business, reflect tonight on where we spent our time. Because at “years-end-summary”, when our time comes… let’s be proud about how we chose to spend those resources. We only get one chance to do so. Conditioning WOD-20 minutes As many rounds + reps as possible in 20 minutes of…7 Power Cleans 135/957 Burpees15/11 Cal Machine

Strength – 15 minutes From the ground establish a max snatch and thruster. The twist is here, is that they have to be the same weight.

DAILY MINDSET“Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.” – Winston Churchill The definition of enthusiasm is “great excitement for or interest in a subject or cause.” Enthusiasm is about purpose and passion – not results. Define what your enthusiasm is. Why you do what you do. And when the hardship comes, whether it’s today, tomorrow, or next week, remind yourself of that why. Circumstances do not dictate effort… only we do.
