“It doesn’t matter when we start.
It doesn’t matter where we start.
All that matters is that we start.”
If you’re human, you’ve felt the burn of waiting too long.
Felt the pain of a missed opportunity, not due to action, but mis-action.
It is wise of us to recognize that it is a human condition to await the better setup. It is our nature to be risk-averse. We want safety, and guaranteed results. Yet the unfortunate guarantee there is that we’ll wake tomorrow in the same place we are today… if not worse.
Just start.
Whatever it is, you’re not too old. You’re not too young. You’re not too busy, too poor, too unprepared. You’re not too tired, too uneducated, and you’re not too weak. You’re ready. The perfect time is now.
Overhead Squat (Overhead Squat
On the 2:00 x 5 Sets:
2 Overhead Squats
*Use The Same Weight Across
)
– The barbell should come from a rack.
– If you do not feel comfortable re-racking the bar in the bar rack, drop it from the top after the last rep each set.
– Athletes should aim to complete all sets at 85-90% of their 1RM overhead squat or at a weight that is slightly heavier than last week’s 5×3.
– Score: Loading Used Across

For Time (10 Minute Cap):
30 Deadlifts
15 Lateral Barbell Burpees
20 Overhead Squats

Barbell: MRx: 75/45, Rx: 95/65, Rx+: 115/85
– Overview: In this chipper style workout, athletes will be mainly challenged to grind through 1-2 sets of overhead squats. Let’s be smart about our weight choice today as well as our pacing of the deadlifts and burpees that precede the overhead squats.
– Lateral Burpees: Reps should be completed in 1:30 or less.
– Deadlifts: Reps should be completed in 1:30 or less.
– Overhead Squats: Reps should be completed in 1:30 or less.
– Power Snatches: Reps should be completed in 1:30 or less.
– Score: Total time. If capped, add 1s for every incomplete rep.
– Our strategy on this workout will revolve mostly around the overhead squats. Our big goal here is to complete these reps in 1-2 sets.
– With the overhead squats being the main focus, let’s break the deadlifts in 2-3 quick sets.
– By the time we get to the power snatches, going singles will likely be the quickest way to get our hands on the bar and the best way to keep us moving.
– Let’s pace the first 2 sets of burpees in a way that will allow you to stick to your strategy on the barbell. Choose a modest pace here.
– The last set of burpees should be the only set of burpees we try to push.

“We’re so busy watching out for what’s just ahead of us that we don’t take time to enjoy where we are.” – Bill Watterson
“Satisfied” feels like a dangerous word.
As competitors, we’re always striving for betterment. Through an everlasting hunger to improve, we wake each day looking to press forward. Although a phenomenal quality, this can be a double-edged sword.
We can fall into the trap of telling ourselves, “I’ll be happy when”. I’ll be happy when I make this PR, get that job, or buy that home. Yet, the finish line always moves. As soon as we do reach that PR, we’re immediately turning to thinking about the next.
The call to action is to appreciate where we are today. To reflect not just on the “to improves”, but to reflect on the positives. The accomplishments. To be proud of where we’ve come from, and where we’re about to go.
CHAD (Time)
1,000 Box Step-Ups (20 in)
Wear a Ruck Pack (45/35 lb)
Complete 1,000 box step ups for time. Use a 20 inch box and wear a ruck pack that weighs 45 lbs for men, and 35 lbs for women.
A ruck is a weighted backpack to simulate the gear carried during a hiking expedition.

1,000 box step-ups completed as a team, partner, or individual
4 Options:
1. Slick // No rucksack. You pick the height of the step-ups.
2. Standard // 30#/20# rucksack. Use 20” box for step-ups.
3. Expert // 45#/35# rucksack. Use 20″ box for step-ups.
4. You can lower your box, no weight, AND share reps with a partner/partners!! We are stronger together!!!
⁃ Overview: Today’s workout will be a grind. Staying in this one mentally will be arguably more challenging than staying in it physically. Let’s be sure to have water, electrolytes, and potentially some easily digestible carbs to help us stay moving.
⁃ Alternate legs every rep for a total of 1,000 reps (500 each side).
⁃ If you don’t have a ruck bag, load a backpack or use a dumbbell, or use one of the weight vests. NO WEIGHT IS GREAT if you are scaling!
⁃ Adjust height, weight, and reps as needed.
⁃ Times will likely range between 45-60 minutes. We’ll time cap this workout at 60 minutes.
– Score: Total time. If capped, add 1s for every incomplete rep.
⁃ To break up the monotony and keep working through smaller checkpoints, consider switching what side of the box you step up to every 25-50 reps. You can utilize all 4 sides of the box. This essentially makes it 5-10 rotations around the box for 1,000 reps.

“Discipline is choosing between what you want now, and what you want most.” — Abraham Lincoln
The desire to seek immediate gratification can be our mortal enemy. It drives us towards the comfortable choice. The safer option, or the compromise.
What we lack in those weak moments is discipline. Discipline is the willingness to stick to goals we set out to do. Emotions and conditions can tempt us to sway, where our discipline can see the temptations for what they are, and make the right decision.
This skill, as it truly is one that we can practice, has been linked many times over to being a critical component of success.
What our emotions drive us towards today, may very well be directly against what we want in the long run. So we must question them. Stacked side by side, here we need to choose. Which one do we want more? There can only be one.
