“You’ve got to get up every morning with determination if you’re going to go to bed with satisfaction.” – George Lorimer

“Win the morning, win the day” is something we’ve all heard a couple times.

It’s less, however, about winning the morning, and more about establishing the right habits. The most successful in life routinely draw back to a core staple of set daily habits.

Write a short list of healthy habits you believe push you forward. It could be reading, journaling, “no phone hours”, or anything in between. Where consistency is king, discipline is freedom.

“I would rather die of passion than boredom.” – Vincent Van Gogh

There are times in our lives, whether it be during training, at work, or at home, where we question the choices we’ve made. They tend to arrive shortly after we make an important decision. A form of “buyers remorse”, where we wonder if we’re on the right path.

It is a human condition to seek certainty. We simply want to know we’re clearly on the right path.

But… do we really?

Think back to a moment of *uncertainty*. The first day we first talked to our significant other. The first time we went on a roller coaster ride. The first time we walked into a CrossFit gym.

Uncertainty makes us feel alive. Those moments are etched into our lives, and are some of our fondest memories. If everything was known, expected, and pre-determined… life would be so horribly boring. It wouldn’t be a life at all.

Where others may run from uncertainty, let’s embrace it for what it is, and create the life of memories we’ll look back on.

“What you resist, persists”.

What would you think about if I told you to *not* to think of a pink giraffe?

The same effect takes place if I tell you “don’t slow down” as you start your final 400 meter run in a workout. Our minds don’t operate well when we focus on what not to do. We need to flip the script, and focus on what *to do*.

Turn “don’t slow down” into “I can hold this pace”.

Turn “don’t mess this up” into “focus on a clean jumpshot”.

If our thoughts become words, and those words become actions, we’re going to get what we focus on. So let’s choose wisely.

Bench Press (Bench Press + Rope Climb

1 Set For Quality:
1 Rope Climb + 15 Bench Press @ 55%
1 Rope Climb + 12 Bench Press @ 63%

1 Rope Climb + 6 Bench Press @ 80%
1 Rope Climb + 3 Bench Press @ 88%
)

Rest 1 Minute Between Sets

– Rope climb reps should take :30 or less to complete. We should not be getting hung up on these too much.

– Athletes will move directly from their rope climbs to the bench.

– Barbell should be taken from a rack for the bench press.

– Bench press reps do not need to be performed unbroken each set.

– If you don’t have a spotter, do not use collars on the bar for safety incase you miss a rep and need to dump the bar.

– Score: Enter the loading of your last set of 3 at 88%.

Time Cap: 30 Minutes

– Overview: In this workout, athletes will be challenged to complete each round of biking and burpee pull-ups in roughly the same amount of time. Managing grip fatigue and proper pacing will be key factors in this workout.

– Bike: Each bike should take 1:30 or less to complete.

– Burpee Pull-Ups: The pull-up bar should be just outside your reach. If needed, use a riser, box, or plates to reduce the distance between you and the bar. Reps should take 1:00 or less to complete.

– Farmers Carry: Each carry should be completed with a pair of dumbbells and should take 4:00 or less to complete.

– Score: Total Time. If capped, add 1s for every incomplete rep. 100m = 1 rep.
– Out of the bike and the burpee pull-ups, let’s choose 1 of these movements to push and 1 of these movements to pace. Let’s see if we can complete each round in roughly the same amount of time.

– With longer farmers carry distances today, let’s break these up early and often. The longer we hold onto the dumbbells, the longer we will need to recover in order to carry the dumbbells a decent distance.

“To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone.” – Reba McEntire

Three themes to take into our day.

To have a “wishbone”: Nothing is too great of a task. Nothing is out of reach. Faith (or doubt) are both self-fulling prophecies.

To have a “backbone”: The unbreakable will to give our best, regardless of the circumstances. Through the lens of the growth-mindset, every outcome is an opportunity to become better.

To have a “funny bone”: We do life for one reason: to enjoy it. If we aren’t enjoying what we’re doing, we need to find something else. As Oscar Wilde writes, “Life is too short to take things seriously.” Let’s enjoy the ride.

– On the power cleans let’s push for quick singles or sets of 3 or more. Choose a strategy that is just outside your comfort zone.

– Let’s see if we can complete the front squats in 1-3 sets. Squat clean the first rep if possible to get right to work when you pick up the bar.

– Singles or sets on the final squat cleans will come down to your capacity but let’s be sure to keep moving here.

– Use the first 2 runs as a recovery from the barbell. Let’s see if we can push the final 600m a little more than the others as there is nothing else left after that.

22 years ago, we underwent a tragic loss. 22 years ago, we became stronger than ever before. We recognize that adversity breeds strength. And through adverse times, we can find good, if we only look for it. This is an incredibly hard thought process to apply here, with good reason. It’s highly personal. It feels borderline wrong. It’s painful even to consider. But one thing rings true. If the lives lost that day could speak to us now, there would be something very specific they would call for. It would be, be exactly that. To cherish what we have. Not just by saying “thanks”, or even “I love you.” By going the extra mile. By helping the ailing friend in need – or better – the stranger in need. To genuinely care for the human being to the left and right of you, regardless of gender, ethnicity, and religion. Although a seemingly small act in and of itself, this is indeed movement towards preventing such a monstrous act from ever happening again. It is playing our part. We’ll never forget the pain we felt that day. But, what is more important than remembering the pain, is what we do going forward. In the words of John F. Kennedy, “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”

9/11 (Time)

“9/11”

For Time (35 Minute Cap):

2,001 Meter Row

343 Double Unders

110 Dumbbell Box Step-ups (20″)

2,977 Meter Row

Dumbbell: 50 / 35 lb

2001: Year

343: Fire Fighters Lost

110: Flights of Stairs Fire Fighters Climbed in World Trade Center

2,977: Lives Lost

COMMEMORATIVE WOD: IF we were to scale weights would be MRx: 30/15, Rx: 40/25, Rx+: 50/35

– Overview: This workout is in honor of all the men, women, and families who were impacted by the tragedy of 9/11. Today we will grind through a longer hero workout remembering all the lives we have lost and the heroes who risked/gave their lives to save others. When the going gets tough, lean into the meaning behind this workout and see if you can dig even just 1% deeper.

– 2,001 Meter Row: This row should take 9:00 or less to complete.

– Double Unders: Reps should take 7:00 or less to complete.

– Dumbbell Box Step-Ups: Athletes should use a single dumbbell held in any position. Athletes must alternate legs every rep but there is no requirement for the dumbbell. Reps should take 4:30 or less to complete.

– 2,977 Meter Row: This row should take 13:30 or less to complete.

– Score: Total time. If capped, add 1s for every incomplete rep. 100m Row = 1 Rep.
– Treat the row as a buy-in here. Let’s aim to row at a moderate pace. If we know what our 2k row pace is, we can aim to row 5-10s slower than that pace.

– We are likely going to need some breaks along the ways as we chip away at our double under reps. Let’s try to break these into sets of 30, 50, or 100 reps with quick 5 second breaks between sets.

– For the dumbbell box step-ups, let’s position the dumbbell in a way that feels most comfortable. We can change that position at any time. Ideally, we are completing all of these reps without breaks and settling into a steady cadence. If breaks are needed, let’s try to keep those breaks short.

– The last row should look similar to the first row. Our pacing should be roughly the same…maybe a little slower at the start and a little faster at the finish. Every 1,000m, let’s see if we can lean in a little more and push the pace at the finish.

“Most of the time we feel tired not because we’ve done too much, but because we’ve done too little of what makes us come alive.” – Jim Kwik

We’re not going to pretend the hard times go away. And that we won’t need to do things that we’d rather not. We have commitments, obligations, and bills to pay. But when we find ourselves in a daily loop of non-stop “work”… we won’t feel like ourselves.

But it’s not the time we put in at work that causes this. It’s the time we don’t put in on the other things. Our passions. The reason why we get out of bed in the morning. Yet in the furious pace of our lives, we let it fall to the wayside because we need to get “back to work.”

The times where we are the most unhappy, are the times where we are the most untrue to ourselves. Redefine to ourselves what sets us on fire. What makes us come alive. And literally schedule it on your calendar as if it’s a life-saving doctor’s appointment. Because in truth… it is.

“Roll of the Dice” (AMRAP – Rounds)

As a class team; with a 25 minute time cap:

Roll the dice to determine both the exercise and the reps. The faster the class gets through the more rounds you can perform.

Exercises:

2= air squats Rx+ 45/25

3= push ups Rx+ on db

4= jumping pull ups

5= V ups

6= 100m run/row

7= flutter kicks

8= knees 2 elbows

9= dumb bell strict press 45/25

10= lunges (each leg) Rx+ 45/25

11= dips

12= burpees
– each class is a team.

– pick two people to roll the dice

– Pick a color to represent the movements and another to represent the reps.

– each team member must finish the reps before rolling and moving on to the next round.

– each roll of the dice and completed reps is a round
