“Your actions speak so loudly that I can’t hear what you’re saying.”

It’s not about what we talk about, but what we tolerate.

When we think of our greatest role models, those we truly look up to in life, there’s a consistent commonality we’ll notice… their action under adversity. They achieved something great, under incredibly hard circumstances. They overcame a specific challenge in their darkest hour. And for that, we remember them.

Our identity isn’t shaped by the good times… but the challenging ones. In those moments, it’ll never be about what we say, but what we do.

– These rounds should take 3:30 or less to complete, giving you at least 30 seconds of rest between sets

Strategy

THE BIG TAKEAWAYS

1. With your score being the slowest of the 6 rounds, look to find a sustainable speed from the very beginning. It can almost be helpful in workouts like this to declare your first round as your slowest time of the day.

2. Push the inside movements and find a steady run pace. The difference makers of this workout isn’t the running, it’s the efficiency and speed on the pull-ups and kettlebell swings. Run at a pace that allows you to thrive on the next round of higher priority movements.
