“When it’s obvious that the goal cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goal, adjust the action steps.” Confucius
We’re drawing close to the end of 2021.
As we enter 2022, we’ll be planning some targets, some goals, some aspirations. As we put the time towards thinking of the year ahead, let’s do a visualization exercise together to help shape those thoughts.
Imagine we’re sitting together in a coffee shop… and it’s the *end* of 2022. Just about a year from today.
And I ask you,
“Hey friend. Tell me… what do you feel was your biggest accomplishment of 2022?”
“Did you set any goals that you set, but happened to miss? What would you change?”
“And last question… now with 2022 in hindsight, what do you think are your major growth areas for 2023?”
Clean and Jerk (Clean & Jerk
Build To A Heavy Triple
)
– On 5.19.2023 we built to a heavy double. Reference this score if you’d like to help give you a goal weight for today.
– These can be squat or power cleans as well as split or push jerks. We suggest a squat clean & split jerk.
– Reps do not need to be performed touch and go.The barbell may be dropped between each clean and jerk.
– Score: Enter heaviest successful attempt.
Warm Up
With An Empty Barbell:
5 Good Mornings
5 Strict Presses
5 Deadlifts
5 Power Cleans
5 Front Squats
5 Squat Cleans
5 Split Jerks
With A Light Weight:
3 Clean & Jerks
With A Moderate Weight:
2 Clean & Jerks
…Keep making weight jumps until you are ready to attempt your heavy triple.
Modifications
– Sub Dumbbells
– Clean Only
Hotshots 19 (Time)
6 Rounds for time of:
30 Squats
19 Power Cleans, 135# / 95#
7 Strict Pull-ups
400m Run
( 35 Minute Cap )
”Hotshots 19″
Nineteen members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots lost their lives on June 30th, 2013 while fighting a fire in Yarnell, Arizona. The Yarnell Hill Fire, ignited by lightning on June 28, 2013, overran and killed the 19 firefighters resulting in the deadliest wildfire ever in Arizona. Today we do this workout in their memory. June 30th was the date (6 rounds/30 Air Squats), 19 men were lost (19 Power Cleans), 7:40pm (7 Pull-Ups / 400m
Run).
– Air Squats: Reps should be completed in 1:15 or less.
– Power Cleans: Loading should not exceed 65% of their 1RM power clean. Reps should be completed in 1:00 or less.
– Strict Pull-Ups: Reps should be completed in 1:00 or less.
– Run: Each run should take 2:15 or less.
– Score: Total Time
– Settle into a steady pace on the air squats.
– Singles on the power cleans right from the start is a great option in this workout. Another great option is to alternate between touch and go sets and singles to help move through the cleans a little faster.
– Singles on the strict pull-ups is also a great option if these tend to break down quickly for you. Another option could be to hold on for 4-5 reps, then take a quick break, then finish out the last 2-3 reps as singles.
– Let’s find a steady pace on the 400m runs.

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.
Absolutely stunned by the speed of such quality drawing, she asks – “But, Mr. Picasso, how is that possible? That only took you thirty seconds to draw this masterpiece!” Pablo smiled again, and replied “My good woman, it took me 30 years to draw that masterpiece in thirty seconds.”
As we grow, give ourselves permission to create “junk”. Give ourselves permission to laugh off mistakes, and get better through their lessons learned. We all want to thrive and do well, 100% of the time… but we also all know it can’t be that way.
Our own judgment can become our worst enemy, so let’s combat that.
Judge less. And practice more. That’s the secret sauce.
Break Stuff (5 Rounds for reps)

– Row: Should be completed in 2:15 or less.
– Sit-Ups: Should be completed in 1:15 or less.
– Bench Press: Athletes should have at least 30s to complete their max set. Do not go to failure unless you have a spotter (leave 2-3 reps in the tank).

“Alright. They’re to the front of us, to the left and right, and behind us. We’re surrounded…. They can’t escape us now.” – General Chesty Puller, United States Marine Corps
Outnumbered by multiples, General Puller drove his Marines that day to victory. Many question how, given the massive mathematical odds against him that day.
It was for no other reason than they believed. They truly believed, with every fiber of their bodies, that they would win that day.
To accomplish anything extraordinary, we first need to believe it’s possible. At first, that sounds ridiculously obvious. Yet when we think a bit more on it, we come to realize that we can be the first (and sometimes only) to tell ourselves that next task or goal is *not* possible. We can talk ourselves out of action with negative compounding thoughts. Concern, worry, doubt, fear. We can be our own worst enemy.
Like the Marines that day, sometimes we just need to get out of our own head, and do what we do best. Go to work. Even when we’re out-gunned. Out-“talented”. Out of time, out of resources, out of everything.
Even when every damn reason tells us we can’t… let’s go. That’s what we do.

“The Rotator”
AMRAP 12:
9 Front Squats MRx: 55/35, Rx: 75/55
6 Handstand Push-ups
30 Double Unders
– Overview: Athletes should aim to move through this workout at their maximum sustainable pace. With small amounts of reps and lighter front squats, we can expect to complete 8 or more rounds in this 12 minute AMRAP.
– Front Squats: Loading should not exceed 45% of your 1RM front squat. Reps should be completed unbroken each round and take 30s or less to complete. Barbell should come from the floor.
– HSPU: Kipping or strict reps will be allowed here. Reps should be completed in 1-2 sets and should take 30s or less to complete each round.
– Double Unders: Reps should take 30s or less to complete each round.
– Score: Rounds + Reps
– Let’s aim to complete the front squats in unbroken sets of 9 each round. We do not need to cycle our squat quickly. This can be a place to catch the breath a bit.
– If we have the capacity to go unbroken on the HSPU, let’s do it. If we know that going unbroken is going to impact our shoulders for the double unders, let’s take 1 break right from the start or as soon as the shoulders start feeling fatigued.
– Aim for unbroken double unders each round. 1 quick break here is okay as long as we get right back to work in 5s or less.

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.

Back In The Saddle (Time)
“Back In The Saddle”
3 Rounds For Time [30 Minute Time Cap]:
800 Meter Run
50 Dumbbell Snatches MRx:30/15, Rx:40/25, —————————————Rx+:50/35
30/24 Calorie Echo Bike
Rest 3 Minutes Between Rounds.
– Overview: Athletes will push the pace each round in this 3 round triplet. The 3 minutes of rest between rounds will allow athletes to recover enough to keep hammering their pace in hopes of finishing each round a little faster than the last.
– Run: Should be completed in 4:00 or less.
– Dumbbell Snatch: 1 dumbbell should be used and athletes will alternate arms after every rep. Reps should be completed in 1:30 or less.
– Echo Bike: Should be completed in 2:30 or less.
– Score: Total time including rest.
– Let’s push the run and aim to dial back our pace for the last 100-200m to prepare for the snatches.
– The loading of the dumbbell should be light enough to switch hands on the way down as well as hold on for unbroken sets. Let’s aim for no more than 1 break on the snatches today.
– We’ll likely need about 30s to recover from the snatches so let’s aim to ramp up our speed on the bike every 30s until the bike is complete.
– During rest periods, focus on bringing the heart rate down by taking slower breaths. The more we can slow our breathing, the more our heart rate will come down.

“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.
