“True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence of the future” – Seneca
How often do we rush to the finish line… only to rush to find the next?
It is in our nature to crave progress. It is also in our nature to be wary of complacency. This is where a misconception can form, leading to dark times. We live for the “future”, a finish line that we’ll never reach.
The aim is absolutely not to ignore the future… but to instead embrace the present. Let’s move past the logic of the “pursuit of happiness”, and embrace the breath in our lungs at this moment. Wherever we go today, let’s go with everything we got.
No Touch Dead Lift (5 Rounds for weight)
No Touch Deadlift
For Total Load:
5 Sets of 2
– Once the bar is lifted to the hips, the first rep begins. Lower the bar to 1 inch off the ground, then immediately come back up to a full stand. Repeat this for 2 reps total. The set is complete when you are back at the top after the 2nd rep.
– These are NOT RDL’s. The hips should still sink after the bar passes the knees.
– Athletes should aim to lift heavy weights across the 5 sets to maximize their scores.
– Score: Enter weights used for each set.
Barbell Warmup:
