“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.

Pull-ups (Strict Pull-ups

Max Unbroken Strict Pull-ups
)

– Athletes can hang on the bar between reps but both hands must remain on the bar.

– As soon as the athlete cannot get their chin over the bar or their feet touch the ground, the set is complete.

– Reps should be performed with a double overhand grip.

– Score: Total Reps

Warm Up

15 Second Hang From Bar

15 Scap Retractions

10 Ring Rows

1-3 Strict Pull-Ups

50/40 Calorie Echo Bike
5 Rounds of “Cindy”
30/24 Calorie Echo Bike
3 Rounds of “Cindy”
10/8 Calorie Echo Bike
1 Round of “Cindy

1 Round of “Cindy”:
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-Ups
15 Air Squats
– Overview: This workout should allow athletes to push the pace on their rounds of “Cindy” as well as get outside their comfort zone on the Echo Bike.

– Echo Bike: The first bike should take 4:00 or less.The second bike should take 2:30 or less. The last bike should take 1:00 or less.

“If you want to be truly successful at it, you cannot be content with pretty good.” – Tim Grover

“Pretty good” is decent.

“Pretty good” is average.

“Pretty good” checks the box.

“Pretty good”… is the enemy of excellence.

How we do anything is how we do everything… and there is nothing in life that is worth doing half-assed.

Reflecting back on this week, let’s be critical with ourselves. What actions have been “pretty good”? It’s rare for situations to happen just once. We can almost guarantee they are coming around for a second go, and sooner than we think. Let’s take those “pretty goods”… and make them great.

“Trade your expectation for appreciation, and the world changes around you” – Tony Robbins

Routines and habits become part of the norm. Morning coffee, listening to the radio, the drive to the field taking the kids to practice. We appreciate healthy habits, and let’s continue to reinforce them. There is however much to be said about taking a pause to our routine, to appreciate the fortune in our lives. The absolute abundance we are so lucky to have.

In a world where comforts are the “norm”, we want to consciously remind ourselves how good our lives are.

The thought of losing those precious parts of our day is a sobering one. But despite it being a morbid thought, we will. There will be a final cup of morning coffee for us. There will be the last chance for us to listen to the radio. And if we are lucky enough to have kids, there will be a last time we *get* to wait in traffic as we drive them to soccer practice.

As Tony Robbins quotes, if we can remove expectations from the norm, and replace them with a sense of gratitude, our entire world changes.

Power Clean (Power Clean

Build To A Heavy Set of 5
)

– Reps should be performed touch and go.

– All cleans must be caught above parallel.

– Score: Enter heaviest set of 5.

Warm Up

With An Empty Barbell:

5 Good Mornings

5 Elbow Rotations

5 Deadlifts

5 Hang Power Cleans

5 Power Cleans

With A Light Weight:

5 Power Cleans

With A Moderate Weight:

3 Power Cleans

…Make more jumps if needed hitting 2 reps at a time until you are ready to attempt your heavy set of 5.

Modifications

– Hang Power Cleans

– Sub Dumbbells

Nowhere Fast (Time)

“Nowhere Fast”

For Time [8 Minute Cap]:
50 Power Cleans MRx: 75/55, Rx: 115/75, Rx+: 155/105

On the Minute (Starting At The 0:00):
5 Toes to Bar

– Feel: This workout should feel like a grippy sprint. 

– Power Cleans: Loading should not exceed 70% of your 1RM power clean. Athletes should be able to hold onto the bar for touch and go sets for the majority of these reps.

– Toes To Bar: Athletes should be able to complete these reps unbroken every round.

– Score: Total time it takes to complete the 50 power cleans.
– We can approach this workout in 2 ways…we can try to get as many reps as we can in minute 1 and then get what we can in the following minutes or we can aim to complete roughly the same number of reps each minute.

– If your barbell cycling is strong, let’s try for the first option. If we aren’t as strong on the barbell, let’s go for the second option.

– We need to be mindful of our grip here. The longer we hold onto the bar, the more quickly our grip will fatigue. We would suggest doing no more than a set of 15 at a time.

– Let’s see if we can get at least 8 power cleans a minute so that we can be sure that we’ll finish under the time cap.

“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 doctors appointment. Because in truth… it is.

“Adversity causes some to break. For others, it breaks records.”

Adversity can really, really hurt. Let’s not create an illusion that it’s all sunshine and rainbows. It will try our values, test our patience, and challenge who we are as human beings. It’s no warm cup of cocoa on a winter morning.

But a warm cup of cocoa doesn’t make us better. A picture perfect day doesn’t make us better. We learn when we make mistakes. When we miss, trip up, face plant, and get caught off guard. At our very basic biological level, this is how we adapt. It’s encoded in us… and it’s seriously like a secret sleeping super power.

That is, of course, if we use them to our advantage. The nature of a mistake is not to tell us we suck. That we failed. That we’re not good enough. The nature of a mistake is to educate us. To give us the ammunition we need to become better. To take the challenge to earn greatness, out of something that once was not.

Adversity is not in the way to greatness.

Adversity is the way to greatness.

This is the championship mindset.

Shoulder Press (Strict Press


5-5-5-3-3-3-1-1-1

*Start @ 65% & Build
*Rest 1 Minute Between Sets
)

– Barbell should come from a rack.

– Athletes should aim to build each set and finish with a heavy single.

– Score: Enter weight for heaviest set.

Warm Up

30s Hang From Pull-up Bar

30s Overhead Hold (Empty Bar)

10 Push-Ups

10 Strict Presses (Empty Bar)

Build to 65% & hit 2-3 reps each time you make a weight jump.

Modifications

– Sub Dumbbells

Silly Rabbit (AMRAP – Rounds and Reps)

“Silly Rabbit”

AMRAP 12:
9 Box Jumps (24″/20″)
6 Dumbbell Snatches MRx: 30/15, Rx: 40/25, Rx+: 50/35
3 Strict Handstand Push-ups

– Feel: This workout should feel very cyclical. Athletes should be able to keep moving throughout without getting stuck at any one movement for too long. 

– Box Jumps: Athletes should stand all the way on top of the box. Reps should take less than 30s to complete. Rebounding is not permitted.

– Dumbbell Snatches: These should be power snatches performed with 1 dumbbell. Alternate hands every rep. Reps should take less than 30s to complete.

– Strict HSPU: Set up a tape line that is 30 inches long and 10 inches away from the wall. The hands should remain in contact with this line throughout. Reps should take less than 45s to complete. 

– Score: Total rounds + reps.
– This workout is going to come down to your strict HSPU capacity.

– If you struggle with strict HSPU, let’s hit singles right from the start or bring the reps down so that we aren’t spending more than 45s here. We want to try to keep our rounds relatively the same (time wise) so let’s think about managing that fatigue right from the start. We can pace the box jumps and snatches based on how the HSPU are feeling.

– If strict HSPU are your jam, let’s see how long we can hit unbroken sets for. This workout becomes all about how fast you can move through the snatches and box jumps while maintaining your unbroken sets of HSPU.

– Reduce Reps

– Reduce Box Height
