Arnold Zwicky, a linguistics professor at Stanford University in the US, coined the term “frequency illusion” in 2005. The idea was that we become more aware of things when we learn about them for the first time and that that can cause us to think that they are happening more often than they are in reality .
Let’s keep our frequency on the positives and less emphasis on the negative.

Barbell: MRx: 75/45, Rx: 95/65, Rx+: 115/85
– Overview: Today’s piece is a bit of a lung burner! Athletes want to try and hold on to unbroken or 2 sets on the overhead squats and a 2 minute or less pace on each run in order to maximize time at the barbell to accumulate snatch reps.

– Barbell weight should be chosen based on completing the overhead squats in 1-2 sets.
– The weight will be the same for the snatches as the overhead squats.
– Athletes should have at least 1 minute for power snatches at the end.
– Score: Total snatch reps completed.
– When you get back to the barbell for snatches, try to immediately pick up the bar and find a sustainable pace of singles or cycled sets so that you can minimize rest and maximize reps through the end of the clock.
– Smooth is fast on the sets of overhead squats, maintaining control of the barbell while trying to move quickly is key.

“Never confuse movement, with action” – Ernest Hemingway
Busy work is our mortal enemy.
“Movement” in the quote above refers to taking care of the pressing and loud items in our day. The emails. The text messages. The bills. Parts that need to be done eventually, but are *seemingly* far more urgent in the moment than they are in reality. For at the day’s end, as we climb into bed, the days that were consumed with such busy work leave us feeling the least fulfilled. We may find ourselves saying to ourselves, “What the hell did I do today?”
This is because shear movement does not push us towards our goals. Only action does. Action is premeditated effort, driven by purpose. It’s calculated energy, versus reactive motions. Swimming forward, versus treading water.
This quote urges us to recognize the difference between the two. As we review our recent days, where are we in motion, and where are we in action?
