“Give more. Give what you didn’t get. Love more. Drop the old story.”

We often hold onto the past. And we all have felt ourselves do it. Sometimes they are worn as scars, sometimes like trophies. It’s not uncommon to use past events as a chip on your shoulder. “They didn’t believe in me”. All of those are potent motivators. But they only last so long, as they are fleeting and weaker forms of ammunition.

When we “fight against” something, such as something in the past, we will only go so far. When we “fight for” something, it’s different. Its purpose and meaning go beyond our singular life, transcending to something far bigger. This is where you can move mountains.

Do you hold onto something from the past? Can we reframe the mental dialogue?

Back Squat Isometric (Weight)

Back Squat

4 Sets:

5 Reps @ 65-70%

*4-5 Second Isometric

*Rest As Needed Between Sets
– Our next iteration of our strength pieces is isometric holds.

– For EACH back squat, hold for 4-5 seconds just below parallel. Squeeze muscles as hard as you can during pause, then fire up as fast as possible.

– Watch a clock or have someone count out loud for you as we want to complete the full 4-5 seconds to get the most out of these reps.

– Score: Enter heaviest set.
