“True strength is the courage to admit weakness.”

Show me an athlete who is afraid to look bad, silly, or stupid… and I’ll show you back an athlete who will lose every time.

Vulnerability is a hot theme nowadays, and rightfully so.

It’s the first step, and arguably most challenging, in facing our fears. It’s an extension of the “awareness” phase, where we admit to ourselves (and potentially to others), that we have soft spots. And much like many other aspects in life, awareness is everything.

Gone are the days where “toughness” is summarized with gritted teeth and bad attitudes. Real mental toughness is facing the demons, the skeletons in the closet, the soft spots, and going on the attack.

Show me an athlete who is *willing* to look bad, silly, or stupid… and I’ll show you back a very powerful competitor.

Overhead Squats
Burpee Box Jumps (24″/20″)

MRx: 75/45, Rx: 95/65, Rx+: 115/85

– Conditioning Category: Athletes should aim for unbroken overhead squats throughout and pace the burpee box jumps accordingly. Looking for threshold pace here throughout with a little kick at the end.

– Overhead Squats: Loading should not exceed 70% of your 1RM overhead squat. Reps should be completed unbroken each round.

– Burpee Box Jumps: Athletes should face the box during the burpee and fully stand on the top of the box before coming down. Athletes can jump or step down off the box.

– Score: Total time it takes to complete the workout.
– Aim for unbroken overhead squats. If one break is needed in round 8/7 that is okay but let’s make that break quick!

– Pace the burpee box jumps in a way that is sustainable throughout the workout.

– Transitions will be key in this workout.
