“Roses that are left unpruned can become a tangled mess of old and new canes, all competing for air and light.” – Elizabeth Roth
As the rose bush grows, it grows buds. It doesn’t grow like a tree, as it’s physical size is limited, but the buds keep on coming. To the point where if it grows *too many*, the bush can actually exhaust itself and die.
Ideas are like rose buds. They constantly need to be “pruned” or trimmed. If we don’t trim our ideas, just like the rose bush, we can overwhelm ourselves.
Growth ideas are natural and it’s completely normal (and a very good thing) to have an ample supply. But if we want to reach our full potential, it will require the pruning, trimming, and critical look on what ideas can stay… and what can go.

Strategy
– The barbell in the first AMRAP is at a weight that is lighter than our usual “DT” weight. We can aim to complete each round using the traditional break up strategy of 11 deadlifts, drop, 1 deadlift into 8 hang power cleans, drop, 1 hang power clean into 6 unbroken push jerks.
– The “Cindy” rounds can be performed on the minute if transitions are fast and if there are minimal breaks. We can use the clock in this AMRAP to hold us accountable and see how close to 6 rounds we can get.
– The in the last AMRAP we use the 6 minutes as a ramp up. Every 2 minutes, we can aim to increase our speed and intensity.
