A short story to share.

Pablo Picasso, the famous Spanish artist, was walking through the market one day when a young woman spotted him and ran over. She asked with great excitement and admiration for him to draw a picture for her as she handed over a piece of paper.

Pablo smiled, and obliged. He quickly drew a small, but beautiful, piece of art on the tiny piece of paper.

Our own judgment can become our worst enemy, so let’s combat that.

Judge less. And practice more. That’s the secret sauce.

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 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.

4 Rounds For Time (35 Minute Cap):

25 Burpees Over Rower

400 Meter Run

500/450 Meter Row

Rest 2 Minutes Between Rounds.

– Overview: In this cardio based workout, athletes will be challenged to push themselves through bigger chunks of burpees at a faster pace than they may feel comfortable.

– Burpees Over Rower: These burpees should be performed laterally to the rower. Reps should take 2:00 or less to complete each round.

– Run: The 400m run should take 2:15 or less each round.

– Row: The 500/450 meter row should take 2:15 or less each round.

– Score: Total time including rest.
– With 2 minutes of rest between rounds, we should try to push the pace on the burpees each round knowing that we will be going in to these relatively “fresh.”

– We can use the first minute/200m or so to catch our breath on the run. We should think of the run as more of a recovery than a place to push.

– When we hop on the rower, let’s try to ramp up our speed since we’ll be coming off that “recovery” run. Our goal should be to finish the row in 2:00 or less each round.

“You can’t build on top of success you don’t acknowledge.” – Dallas Travers

We aim to live in a state of true “blissful dissatisfaction”. Grateful for every experience that comes our way, all the while in a fiery pursuit of the next best version of ourselves. Think of it less as a “pat on the back”, and more of a foundation that we build on. As the quote above teaches us, we can’t build on top of success we don’t acknowledge.

5 Rounds For Time:

15 Toes to Bar

30 Kettlebell Swings MRx: 35/25, Rx: 53/35

1.5/1.2 KM Bike Erg

Time Cap: 30 Minutes

– Overview: Athletes will be feeling their grip in this workout with the toes to bar back to back with the kettlebell swings. Athletes should take this into consideration when choosing their break up strategy.

– Toes To Bar: Reps should be completed in 1:00 or less.

– Kettlebell Swings: American, all the way overhead. Reps should be completed in 1:30 or less.

– Bike: The bike meters should be completed in 3:30 or less.

– Score: Total Time
– Let’s plan to break the toes to bar right from the start if grip tends to be an issue for us. Sets of 3-5 reps works well or if you would like to go bigger, something like 10-5 or 9-6 also works.

– We want to try to hold onto the kettlebell for big sets in this workout. This is the place to push today. Let’s try to get these done in no more than 2 sets.

– Pace the bike based on how the grip is feeling, if we need more time to recover in the later rounds, let’s slow our pace down a bit.
