“If you aim at nothing, don’t worry… we’ll hit it.”
A clear and defined goal seems like an obvious first step. It is however often missed.
It’s not that we don’t have any general goals or directions in mind… it’s that we tend to lack *crystal clear specificity*. We lack concrete intentions. And when we hit the chaotic storm that is life, we don’t have the foundation we need to stand on.
If we have to pause to think about what our goals are, we haven’t yet defined them to the extent we need. Something is missing. They need to come to mind in the blink of an eye, as if it’s a subconscious reaction.
Let it be specific, measurable, and actionable.
“I need to get better with money”, turns into “I will have $40 of each paycheck transferred to my retirement account.” “I want to get fitter”, turns into “I will eat 3 quality meals per day, 6 days per week, and go to the gym on Mon/Tue/Wed, Fri/Sat”. “I want to have better presentation skills”, turns into “I will take the improv class in my city every Monday for the next six weeks”.
Be intentional. Specificity is everything.

“Water the flowers, not the weeds.”
Imagine your vision being a water hose.
And wherever your attention goes, you water.
Because whatever we end up watering… grows.
Every day, we are going to spend our water (our thoughts)on something. And there is a finite amount that we get to spend. If we choose to spend it on the weeds, those thoughts will grow stronger. Purely for the visualization, imagine gossip, and where that takes us.
Check in with ourselves today.
Are we watering the flowers, or the weeds?

“Podiatry”
On the 1:30 x 10 Rounds:
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 Toes to Bar
30 Double Unders
Max Calorie Row
– Overview: In this grippy interval piece, athletes will aim to complete unbroken toes to bar/double under sets, then row at a fast, yet sustainable pace.
– Toes To Bar: Athletes should be able to complete the majority of these rounds unbroken.
– Double Unders: Reps should be completed in 45s or less each interval.
– Row: Athletes can keep their monitor running throughout the workout without needing to reset.
– Score: Total calories completed over the course of the 10 rounds.
– Aim for unbroken sets of toes to bar. In the later rounds, 1 quick break may be needed.
– Try to relax the shoulders as much as possible on the double unders.
– The most common pace we see on a rower is ladies holding about 12 cals a minute and guys holding about 15 cals a minute. If you get on the rower with 30s to go, you can aim for about half those cals (8 for the guys and 6 for the girls). Having this number goal can help hold you accountable as you start to feel the fatigue set in.
– Fast transitions will be key in this workout. If you need to chalk, get off the rower about 10s early to give yourself time to do so.

“Hope and despair are both self-fulfilling prophecies.” – Ernest Hemingway
If you are in the market for a blue Honda, all you see on the road are blue Hondas. It’s as if they are seemingly everywhere. In every intersection, passing us on the highway, and at the gas station.
Yet, they were there the whole time. We as humans have what’s called the “Reticular Activation System”, which helps us see more of what we’re actively thinking about.
It’s actually a survival mechanism. If we needed to look for food because we were about to starve, we prime our senses to find it. Or if danger was close by in the form of a man-eating predator, we’d prioritize our senses to be very aware of where the threat was, or where it could be hiding. It’s an incredible level of focus that we don’t realize we’re using, bringing what is on our subconscious mind into the conscious world.
Are we focused on what might go wrong?
Or are we focused on what will make it go right?

AMRAP 10:
1 Mile Run
Max Clean and Jerks MRx: 95/65, Rx: 115/85, Rx+: 135/95
Rest 3 Minutes
AMRAP 7:
800 Meter Run
Max Power Snatches MRx: 75/45, Rx: 105/65, 115/85
Rest 3 Minutes
AMRAP 4:
400 Meter Run
Max Thrusters MRx: 65/35, Rx: 85/55, Rx+: 95/65
– Overview: Each interval will begin with a set run distance. Athletes will then grind out as many barbell reps as they can in the remaining time of each window while feeling the fatigue from each run.
– Run: The mile run should be completed in 9:00 or less. The 800m run should be completed in 4:30 or less. The 400m run should be completed in 2:15 or less. Reduce the distances if needed.
– Power Cleans & Snatches: Athletes should feel they can cycle the bar but will likely opt for singles. Loading should not exceed 60% of your power clean for the first barbell and should not exceed 60% of your power snatch on the second barbell.
– Thrusters: Athletes should be able to cycle the barbell for sets of 5 or more. Loading should not exceed 60% of your 1RM thruster.
– Score: Enter the number of reps completed for each movement.
– Let’s push the mile run then dial back our pace for the last 200m or so just so that we can get right to work on the clean & jerks that follow. We should have at least a minute here to accumulate reps so pace out these reps based on how much time you have when you come in.
– Let’s, again, push the 800m run then dial back our pace for the last 200m or so. Pace out the snatches based on how much time you have when you come in from the run.
– It is not worth it to push the last run super hard as we now will have thrusters to do when we come back in. Let’s run at a modest pace and chip away at the thrusters however we see fit. The goal here will be to rest as little as possible between sets.

“What you resist, persists”.
What would you think about if I told you to *not* 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”. Instead of focusing on what not to do, let’s focus on what *to do.*.
Let’s turn “don’t slow down” on that last 400m run into “I can hold this pace”. Transition “don’t eat those cookies”, “let’s go snack on some celery”.
If our thoughts become words, and those words become actions, we’re going to get what we focus on. So let’s choose wisely.
