“True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence of the future” – Seneca
How often do we rush to the finish line?
Immediately turning to the next, only to rush once again?
The aim is not to ignore the future. Yet when we spend so much time working for the future, we by default ignore the present. Until… it has become the past. All of this can sound mindlessly simple – and it is. Yet we often become so frantically busy planning for the future, that we actually miss living in this moment.
Happiness is delivered in many forms, with the most important being… present enjoyment of the moment. Happiness has all that it wants. Wherever we go today, go with everything we got.

– Loading: Barbell should not exceed 40% of your 1RM jerk. Using the jerk as a reference instead of push press here as most athletes know their jerk PR.
– Pace the row in a way that allows you to push for big sets on the barbell and double unders.
– Aim for 2-3 sets on all the barbell movements. Reps do not need to be fast. Keep these controlled and find a rhythm with your breathing.
– Aim for 1-4 sets on the double unders. If you know that these tend to tire you out quickly, let’s break early and often.
