“Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” — Joshua J. Marine
Everyone faces adversity. Not everyone responds the same way.
In Carol Dweck’s “Mindset”, there are two types: A fixed mindset, and a growth mindset.
In a fixed mindset, an individual is trapped within their own perceived limitations. When someone else gets the promotion or the job, it just “wasn’t meant to be”. They blame the world, they blame the organization for having a bias, they blame the weather. It is a mentality that clings to excuses, versus solutions.
A growth mindset is one of extreme ownership. A world of continual self reflection. If something didn’t go as planned, what can I learn from this? What can I do better next time? The growth mindset welcomes the short-term pain, knowing that this will only make them better tomorrow. Instead of jumping to excuses, the growth mindset creates the solutions.
Change our mindset, and the world around us changes with it.
We will find adversity. It will be today, tomorrow, or sometime this week. How will we respond? Will we blame the world, our conditions, the weather? Or will we take the harder path, and find what we can do differently next time?

– Conditioning Category: High Threshold
– Flow: Begin each AMRAP with 100 double unders. In the remaining time, complete as many rounds and reps of toes to bar and dumbbell reps as possible.
– Double Unders: Performed in 2:00 or less.
– Toes To Bar: Performed in sets of 3 or more.
– Dumbbell Reps: Performed with 2 dumbbells in 1-2 sets.
– Cluster: This is a “squat clean thruster” meaning that the front heads of the dumbbells must touch the floor each rep before performing each squat clean thruster.
– Score: Enter rounds + reps for each AMRAP. This does not include the double under buy-in.
– If you are proficient at double unders, let’s aim for unbroken sets of 100 to begin each AMRAP. If double unders tend to tire you out quickly, let’s plan for at least 1 break at halfway.
– Let’s shoot for quick sets of toes to bar. We want to go big on the dumbbell movements so let’s break the toes to bar, if needed, to be able to hold onto the dumbbells.
– Aim for unbroken sets on the dumbbells.
– Expect to spend between 1-2 minutes on the jump rope and about 3-4 minutes on the other movements. A good goal is to aim for 2 rounds in each AMRAP.
– Aim to meet or beat your previous score in each AMRAP with the first AMRAP being the one where you set the expectation.
