“Your mind is not your shoe size.” – Jim Kwik
Have you ever taken an “IQ Test”?
Chances are you have taken some sort of one. It’s a test that claims to tell us our capacity in life. Where the resulting score is the equivalent of looking into a crystal ball on how successful we’ll be.
As ridiculous as that sounds, it’s a nightmare that comes to life for many. A self-fulfilling prophecy that can cut potential at the knees.
The truth of it all however, is that we know so very little about how the mind *actually* works. It’s still such a mystery to us. Yet, we can find ourselves building an imaginary ceiling over our heads.
In regards to one of life’s greatest mysteries, there’s one thing we can bank on… that our mind is not our shoe size.

“Til Death Race Do Us Part”
5 Rounds:
15/12 Calorie Echo Bike
10 Bar-Facing Burpees
Rest 5 Minutes
5 Rounds:
10 Power Cleans
10 Bar-Facing Burpees
BB: MRx: 115/75, Rx: 125/85, Rx+: 135/95
– Conditioning Category: Threshold
– Echo Bike: Completed in 1:30 or less. Reset the monitor each round or bike the full 15/12 calories from what is shown on your screen.
– Bar-Facing Burpees: Completed in 1:00 or less. Two foot take off.
– Power Cleans: Completed in 1:30 or less. Loading should not exceed 70% or your 1RM power clean. Quick singles or sets are both appropriate here.
– Score: Total time including rest.
– In both parts of this workout, let’s push one of the movements and pace the other.
– We can play to our strengths here on both parts of this workout. If we know we are a decent biker, we should push the bike and pace the burpees. If we know we are better on the barbell, we can push the power cleans and pace the burpees.
– Regardless of which movement is your pacer and which movement you are going to push, let’s aim to be consistent with our pacing throughout each of the 5 rounds.
– Aim to “just start” each movement as you work through each of the 5 rounds. Seconds can easily tick away quickly during transitions.
