“I want to see it, before I believe it.”
We are visually oriented people.
We seem to trust our eyes more than our other senses.
It’s why we call our ultimate direction our “vision”. It’s why in the middle of the night, if we think we hear something, we want to take a look before we feel safe enough to fall back asleep. We can hear news through the grapevine, but we doubt it until we see it.
Recognizing this, we can leverage it to our advantage. Many of us will agree that there is power to writing down our goals, and this is why. We begin to believe it that much more. It feels that much more real.
Write down our vision. Write down our goals. Write down anything that is important, not because it’s a mundane task… but because we need to see it, before we believe it.
Back Squat Eccentric (Weight)
Back Squat
3 Sets:
3 Reps @ 75-80%
*5-6 Second Eccentric
– For EACH squat, control down for 6-8 seconds, but fire up as fast as you can out of the bottom.
– Watch a clock or have someone count out loud for you as we want to complete the full 6-8 seconds to get the most out of these reps.
– Score: Enter heaviest set. Record sets/reps in your notes.

– Score: Total time
– With 2 minutes of rest between rounds we can afford to get outside our comfort zone and be a little more aggressive with our strategy. We should still, however, aim for a sustainable pace throughout.
– Aim to complete the toes to bar in 2-5 sets. Choose the strategy that allows you rest for the least amount of time between sets. Options: 5-5-5-5-5, 8-7-5-5, 10-8-7, 15-10.
– We can settle into a pace right around our 2k pace on the row. For the last 50m or so, let’s back off this pace to prep for the lunges that follow.
– Rack the dumbbells in a way that will allow you complete the lunges with, ideally, unbroken. If needed, take 1 quick break halfway through.
– Be sure to take a look at the clock after each round so you can do quick math and figure out when you need to be ready to start your next round.
