“Motivation can get you started. Commitment is what keeps you going.” – Jim Rohn

Motivation feels good.

It makes things feel… easy.

When we’re motivated, productivity just flows. But what’s challenging about it, is that motivation isn’t always there. Let’s be real about it. It’s not an everyday thing. We’re going to have tough days.

We recognize anything in life that’s worth working towards won’t be easy. And it will not be a matter of if, but when, we are challenged and tested to the core. In this moment, motivation may very well not be there for us…. chances are actually highly likely that it won’t be.

What will always be there however, is our commitment.

Our success can be drawn back to the level of commitment to the little things. “Discipline” is not reserved for the military or martial arts – it is our anchor for seeing us through the storm. It will never be a single action that makes us. It’s instead hundreds and thousands of smaller decisions, repeated time and time again, through dedicated commitment.

Let’s be aware of the habits and commitments we hold ourselves to. Whereas motivation is a short-term fix, commitments to daily healthy habits guide us through the inevitable storms.

What are 3 daily habits you consider to be “non-negotiables?” These can be related to anything between training, health, life, relationships, etc. For example, “each day, I complete my 10 minute mobility routine, eat vegetables at every meal, and put screens away 90 minutes before bedtime.” Regardless of feeling motivated or not, your day does not feel complete without these things. If you haven’t formed these habits yet, let’s think of 3 things we can start doing today to help keep you focused on the hard days.

Strict Weighted Ring Dips (4 Rounds for weight)

Triple Bogey (AMRAP – Rounds and Reps)

“Triple Bogey”

3 Rounds x AMRAP 5:
5 Power Cleans M:115/65,Rx:135/85, +:155/105
10 Box Jumps (24”/20”)
15/12 Calorie Echo Bike

Rest 3 Minutes Between Rounds.

– Overview: In this interval style workout, athletes will complete as many rounds and reps of power cleans, box jumps, and calories on the echo bike as they can in 5 minutes before resting for 3 minutes. Each interval, athletes will pick up where they left off on the previous interval (if you finished on the power cleans, you’ll begin on the box jumps).

– Power Cleans: Loading should not exceed 70% of your 1RM power clean. Reps should take 45s or less to complete.

– Box Jumps: Reps should take 30s or less to complete.

– Echo Bike: Calories should take 1:15 or less to complete.

– Score: Total Rounds + Reps
– If going singles on the barbell is more sustainable for you, let’s stick to that game plan throughout. If you think you can touch and go all 5 reps every round, let’s see if we can challenge ourselves with that strategy.

– Find a steady pace on the box jumps. No need to rush here.

– Let’s see if we can complete the echo bike cals in the same amount of time every round.

“The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe.” – Albert Einstein

We choose the world we live in. And our decision will echo through our lives, perpetuating itself over and over without the conscious even being aware of it. The first step – awareness.

Let’s first recognize that we, by default, tend to gravitate towards “hostility”. This may sound strange at first, but when we think about it, we know that we are defensive creatures. And that a very active “fight or flight” mechanism lives within us. Our default interpretation can be to see things as “threats”. It can be very challenging to trust.

Not all of that is a bad thing. But magnify it, and imagine as if that is the universe we believe it to be – pure hostility. It’s a pair of red glasses we’ve placed over our eyes that we view the world. And despite holding the greenest of flowers in our hand… all we see is a red flower.

It starts with awareness of where we currently are. Brutally honest self-reflection.

It then turns into a choice… a choice of lens that we will view the world in.

Change our perception, and we change our world.

Do you feel like you live a more peaceful or hostile life? When was the last time something happened to you that was out of your control? How did you respond or react? Did you think “why me” or just simply think “it is what it is?”

“80% of success is showing up.” – Woody Allen

We can become obsessed with achievements. We chase the weightlifting PR, chase the next promotion, chase the next “X”.

As an example, let’s say we’re moving through a 10-Week Snatch program… and things are feeling *great*. We’re 9 weeks in, and we are moving so much better than when we started. The same weights we started with feel so, so much easier. What used to be a heavy lift for us is a no-brainer now.

But until we move a single pound over our current PR at the end of the cycle, we don’t allow ourselves to consider that we’re better. And if we test out at Week 10 of the cycle, and do not PR… what would be our immediate reaction?

The paradigm shift is this:

To not view progress as a means to an achievement.

And instead to view progress *as* the achievement.

“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.

“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.

Toes to Bar
Dumbbell Thrusters M:30/15, R: 40/25, +:50/35
Max Calorie Echo Bike

Round 2: 15 Reps
Round 3: 12 Reps
Round 4: 9 Reps
Round 5: 6 Reps

– Overview: In this workout, athletes will work for 15 minute straight. Each round, the reps of toes to bar and dumbbell thrusters will decrease allowing more time for the bike. Athletes can work for the entirety of each 3 minute window or they can stop early to reset for the next round.

– Toes To Bar: The volume of reps should allow for 1-3 sets each round.

– Dumbbell Thrusters: Loading should allow for 1-2 sets each round.

– Echo Bike: Athletes should have at least 1:00 on the bike each round.

– Score: Enter calories accumulated within each round. Overall score will be the sum total.
– Let’s lean into our strengths a bit here. If we are better at toes to bar, let’s go for big sets there and break the thrusters if needed. If we are better on the thrusters, let’s shoot for unbroken thrusters and break the toes to bar.

– Make it your goal to beat your score on the echo bike each round. If we get 10 calories the first round, we can aim for 11 or more calories on the next round.
