“Creativity is allowing one to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.” – Scott Adams
We all want to create something amazing in this life. A successful career, building a deep relationship, to anything and everything between. In this process, we easily forget how crucial it is to allow ourselves to make mistakes.
We learn after mistakes, no question about that, but there’s something even more important here – the *will* to try so hard, that we make mistakes. If we are living in a state of fear, that we’ll fumble the ball or miss the chance… we never take the risk. We move through life with safety at the top of mind.
Just like training for a 200lb snatch, we wouldn’t expect to be able to lift the weight on Day 1. We’d start at a lighter load, steadily building over the weeks. Countless misses and technical faults along the way, but we still come back to try once more. Fine tuning, until we’ve reached our “art”.
What is a skill or movement you are feeling frustrated by lately? What are a few mistakes you’ve made on this movement that you have learned something from?

– 1st Row: Should be completed in 6:30 or less leaving 30+ seconds for bench press reps.
– 2nd Row: Should be completed in 4:30 or less leaving 30+ seconds for bench press reps.
– 3rd Row:Should be completed in 2:30 or less leaving 30+ seconds for bench press reps.
– Score: Enter total bench press reps completed throughout the workout.
– Athletes can afford to push the row a bit as the goal is to get as many bench press as possible.
– Aim to row at or about 5s slower than your 2k pace throughout.
– Dial back your pace for the last 50-100m to prepare for the bench.
– Athletes can aim to get a big set followed by smaller sets on the bench or just start with small sets right away.
– Athletes can expect to bank a good amount of reps in the first AMRAP then, taper off in the second and third AMRAPS.
