“I’ll either find a way, or I’ll make one.” – Hannibal

Said by a man who got elephants to climb a mountain.

Angela Duckworth, a leading expert on the study of “grit”, defines it as follows: “Passion and sustained persistence applied towards long-term achievement, with no particular concern for rewards or recognition along the way.”

If there is a single attribute that is the closest correlate to success, it may very well be grit.

Grit is very much in line with our definition of “mental toughness”. To give our unconditional best, regardless of the circumstances.

It’s doing the unsexy hard work… when no one’s watching.

It’s refusing to see a “failure” as “defeat”.

It’s refusing to believe that elephants can’t climb mountains… and then proving it.

– Dumbbell Snatch: Athletes should perform single arm power snatches and alternate arms every rep. Athletes should choose a loading where they are able to switch arms in the air between reps.

– Score: Rounds + Reps
– Athletes should aim to hold on for unbroken sets of dumbbell snatches.

– If we need a break, let’s take that break on the jump rope as breaks here tend to be much shorter than breaks on the dumbbell.

“Death is one prophecy that hasn’t failed.” – Edmund Wilson

Have you ever been asked, “What would you do if you only had a week to live?”

Few things will snap us to attention like the thought of a terminal illness. The question leaves us considering how different our lives would be if we only had days to live.

But the morbid truth, is that we *all* have a terminal death sentence. It won’t be a matter of if, but when. Let’s not let a day go by, where we allow this thought to wash away to ignorance. We get one shot… let’s make it count.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.” – Aristotle

There are habits we can see, and habits we cannot.

There’s the physical side of habits which are easier to identify. Do we wake up at the same time every day? Do we show up to the gym consistently to train? Do we hold true to the nutrition plan we set out?

What’s more challenging is to look further inward. And seek out the invisible habits. To reflect on the way we think.

When we missed the lift, what were our immediate thoughts?

When we were cut off on the road by another car, how did we feel?

When the gossip arrived in the locker room, what were our first thoughts?

If our thoughts become actions, this must be where we start.

Max Calorie Bike Erg

– Overview: In the first portion of this workout, athletes will complete 5 round of toes to bar and push press. Shoulder and grip fatigue will be factors here. In the second portion of the workout, athletes will accumulate as many calories on the bike erg as possible.

– Toes To Bar: Reps should be completed in 45s or less each round.

– Push Press. Reps should be completed in 45s or less each round.

– Bike: Athletes should have at least 4 minutes on the bike at the end of this workout.

– Score: Total Bike Calories
– In the first portion of the workout, let’s make our first focus on getting the push presses completed in unbroken sets.

– We can break the toes to bar as needed. If your toes to bar capacity is strong, let’s aim for 1-2 sets. If we are not as strong here, let’s shoot for sets of 3, something like 3-2-2-2, or quick singles.

– When we hop on the bike let’s see if we can ramp up our speed as we inch closer to the 12 minute mark. Inch the damper up at well or plan to bike at a slightly higher damper setting to help get those calories to tick away faster.

“Pursue one great decisive aim with force and determination.” – Carls Von Karlswich

Are we trying to do too much?

We are an ambitious group. The growth mindset. The hunger mindset. It is rare for us to come up short on effort. But the emphasis of this quote is not on the back, but the front. “One great decisive aim”. What it hones in on, is the factor of choice.

To be able to stand in a room with a thousand doors, and be able to close 999 of them.

It can be ironically be far more challenging to *not* do something… than to do it.

Together let’s take a step back today, and boil things down the basics. What are we after?

Sometimes less can be more.

Hang Power Clean (Hang Power Clean

4 Sets [Building to Heavy Set of 10]:
Set 1: 8 Hang Power Cleans @ 60%
Set 2: 6 Hang Power Cleans @ 65%
Set 3: 4 Hang Power Cleans @ 70%
Set 4 10 Hang Power Cleans [Heavy Set]

Rest 1 Min. Between Set)

– All sets should be completed unbroken.

– Athletes will go for a heavy set of 10 for the last set. Aim for around 70-75% of your 1RM power clean.

– All percentages are based off your 1RM power clean (not hang power clean). This is intentional.

– Score: Enter loading of heavy set of 10.

Round 3:MRx: 75/35, Rx: 85/55, Rx+: 95/65
– Overview: In this interval style workout, athletes will be challenged to push the pace and cycle the barbell for some bigger sets than they may typically feel comfortable. We last completed this workout on 11.21.2022.

– Row: Completed in 2:00 or less..

– Power Cleans: Completed in 1:30 or less.

When choosing weights, consider the following set suggestions:

1st Bar: 3-4 Sets

2nd Bar: 2-3 Sets

3rd Bar: 1-2 Sets

– Burpee Box Jump Overs: Burpees must face the box. Athletes should be able to complete these reps in less than 1:30.

– 3 Scores: Rounds + Reps of each AMRAP

– Keeping the stroke rate low and power high on the row can help you get to the power cleans quickly and help prepare for touch-and-go sets.

– The power cleans get easier with each round as the weight decreases. Aim to work through larger sets with each drop in weight.

– Here are some options for getting to 21 reps:

Heaviest Bar: 9-7-5, 7-7-7, 6-5-5-5

Middle Bar: 12-9, 7-7-7

Lightest Bar: 21, 12-9

– Let’s move at a strong pace on the burpee box jump overs. Even if the first couple calories on the rower are slower because of your pacing here, just getting strapped in and the handle moving is the goal.

“The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.” – Malcolm X

There’s something intoxicating about planning for the future. It’s the dream-world.

Yet when it’s time to cross the bridge, from planning to execution, many lose their way. And nothing materializes.

View “preparation” as two equal parts:

1. Thought

2. Action

Without the thought behind, it’s wasted energy in multiple directions.

Without action to follow thought, it’s nothing but a pipe dream.

There will be the voice that tells us, “there’s time to do this tomorrow”. But that brings us back to the quote we started with above. We’ll take the hard road.
