Some interesting fun facts to share.
Science has measured humans to have 20,000 genes.
Science has also measured onions… which come in at over 40,000.
The idea of better or worse “gene pools” is a myth. They determine our natural hair and eye color, but we stand by this core belief to our last breath: they do not control our potential.
Another “gene” controls that. It’s called “Epigenetics”. A fancy word that says, we are the ultimate adaptation machine. It’s the quality that human beings can learn and grow faster than the vast majority of species on our planet.
The great thing about Epigenetics is that we’re all born with it.
Forget what you were born with. And focus on what you can become.

– Athletes should aim to build in weight each set.
– Athletes should only build if they feel they are moving well.
– Reps do not need to be completed unbroken. Dropping from the top between reps is permitted. No longer than 10s should pass between reps.
– Score: Enter weights used for heaviest set of 5.

For Time:
75 Power Snatches, 75# / 55#
In honor of Randy Simmons, 51, a 27 year LAPD veteran and SWAT team member who was killed February 6 in the line of duty.
– Overview: This is a repeat from 1/31/2019. The hero workout “Randy” challenges athletes to strategize how they will attack the 75 power snatches at a lighter weight. This is a great test of grit as well as shoulder, grip, and posterior chain stamina. The lungs will also come into play toward the back half of these reps.
– This should be a very light barbell that you can complete for at least 30+ reps unbroken when fresh.
– To complete this workout under time cap, you’ll need to average ~9 reps on the minute.
– This is not a workout to do singles on. Athletes should cycle sets together.
– Score: Time
Athletes should choose a strategy that keeps them moving with the shortest breaks possible. Below are some potential ways this workout could be approached:
*Start with a big set of 25-30 reps, then chip away with smaller sets of 5 or more reps at a time.
*Open with a set of 15 followed by sets of 10 until the finish. Potentially throwing in some sets of 5 toward the end to get back on the bar faster.
*Start with small sets of 5 right from the start.

“If you aren’t going all the way, why go at all?” – Joe Namath
The most powerful force in the world is our full commitment. The “man-on-fire” mentality. Simply undeterred by any circumstance.
A lack of commitment on the other hand… is the opposite. It’s one of the most dangerous things in the world.
If we are going to fall flat on our face in trying something… then we are going to fall flat on our face. All too often we can’t control that outcome. If the ocean water is cold, whether we go in slow or fast, it’s not going to matter. Shits going to be really, freaking, cold.
So let’s commit to something together. No matter what, we sprint into the water. That our standard is full commitment, in everything we do. We don’t just flirt with the idea of doing something. We go all in.
We sprint into the water.

– 2 Unbroken Sets = 1 High Hang Clean + 1 Hang Clean + 1 Clean + 1 High Hang Clean + 1 Hang Clean + 1 Clean
– On 10/21 we did 3 unbroken sets of this complex. Aim to increase loading from that piece. If you did not do that piece, aim to start around 45-50% of your 1RM clean.
– These can be performed as squat cleans or power cleans.
– Score: Heaviest Load

1,200/1,000 Meter Bike Erg
25 Push Jerks MRx: 75/45, Rx: 95/65, Rx+: 115/85
Time Cap: 20 Minutes
– Overview: In this 2 round workout, athletes will work on their barbell cycling under fatigue. The goal here is to cycle the cleans in 2-4 sets and to cycle the push jerks in 1-3 sets.
– Bike: Each bike should be completed in 2:30 or less.
– Barbell: Light-moderate barbell weight that allows athletes to complete each set of 25 reps (of each movement) in 2 minutes or less. Loading should not exceed 65% of your 1RM push jerk.
– Score: Total Time. If capped, add 1s for every incomplete rep.
– Let’s pace the bike in a way that is going to allow us to push the barbell. It is better to go a little slower here if it means we can get through the barbell reps a little faster.
– Something like 15-10, 10-8-7, or 8-7-5-5 are some possible options for the cleans. We really want to try and hold onto the barbell today and cycle some sets vs. going right for singles.
– Something like 25 unbroken, 15-10, or 10-8-7 are some possible options on the jerks. Out of the cleans and the jerks, the jerks would be the movement we really want to try to hold on for bigger sets. Putting the bar down more just means we need to do more cleans to pick it back up.
