“Attempt the impossible, in order to improve your work.” – Brian Tracey
Enter certain failure (the impossible), to improve.
At first, that seems a bit ridiculous. Yet, as much of an oxymoron as it seems, by making mistakes, by reaching outside our comfort zone, by truly feeling stupid… we become smarter.
The paradigm shift is to get away from trying things, purely to succeed. And to instead try things, to learn. To grow a sense of curiosity and belief that everything is a chance to grow. Trying things with the intention to learn changes our definition of what a “failure” is. We begin to look at things as opportunities, versus pass/fail assessments.
We recognize that our body adapts to physical stress, but it’s easy to forget that our brain functions the same way. Much like how reaching for the PR snatch feels like an impossibility at the time, we just need to try.

DESCRIPTION
This longer AMRAP workout has a little bit of everything – as it includes cardio, gymnastics, and weightlifting
After completing the 400 meter run, you’ll complete all 3 rounds of 4-8-12 before heading out for another 400 meter run
For scoring purposes, 1 full round is the 400 meter run + the 3 rounds of 4-8-12
Record total rounds and reps completed at the end of 25 minutes
Only count fully completed 400 meter runs towards your score
If you finished the full run, record 400 reps
If you complete partial runs, write the estimated distance in the notes section
For Example:
Let’s say you completed 2 full rounds + a 400 meter run + 4 strict pull-ups
Your final score would be 2+404
STRICT PULL-UPS
Choose a number or variation that can be completed in 1-2 quick sets each round
See further down the page for a list of modifications

STRATEGY
GENERAL
No one movement in this workout will get too fatiguing, as the rep numbers are fairly small
This means this longer workout will mostly come down to skills and conditioning
The more developed you are with your skills, especially with the rope climbs and pistols, the faster you can afford to move
If you know the high skilled movements will be a challenge, slowing down your runs and transition times will be beneficial in helping you develop those skills within this workout
Establish a pace from the beginning that you see yourself being able to sustain throughout
For Example: If your first round takes 4 minutes, look to hold that pace on your way to 6+ rounds at the end of 25 minutes
Complete your first round under control and use that time as your guide for the remainder of the workout
