“Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.” – Scott Adams

How does an echo start?

With a tiny sound. One that in and of itself, might not even be noticeable. But shortly thereafter that soft sound, comes its echo. Still maybe nothing to turn heads. Yet, this echo builds upon its previous. And again. And then again. Before we know it, it’s impossible to ignore.

It’s called the “changing of the echos”, and it starts with a single tiny noise. Will we start one today?

Snatch Complex x 10 (Weight)

Snatch Complex

On the 1:30 x 10 Sets:
1 Snatch High Pull
1 Power Snatch
1 Low Hang Squat Snatch

– We are aiming for athletes to use the same weight across all 10 sets.

– Aim for somewhere between 65-75% of your 1RM snatch ()

– Score: Weight. (incase you need to go up or down at all-put those weights in your notes)
Remember, the goal is to use the same weight for all 10 rounds.
Warm Up

With An Empty Barbell…

5 Snatch Grip Deadlifts

5 Snatch High Pulls

5 Muscle Snatches

5 Overhead Squats

5 Power Snatches

5 Low Hang Squat Snatches

Load up to 65% hitting 1 full complex each time you need to make a jump in weight.

Play Ball QFA (Time)

“Play Ball” QFA

3 Rounds For Time:
10 Power Snatches
20 Box Jump Overs 24″/20″
30 Wallballs MRx: 14/10, Rx: 20/14

Time Cap: 15 Minutes

MRx: 75/45, Rx: 95/65, Rx+: 115/85
– Conditioning Category: Threshold. Athletes should move at their maximal sustainable pace throughout this workout.

– Power Snatches: Loading should not exceed 65% of your 1RM power snatch. Reps should take less than 1:30 to complete each round.

– Box Jump Overs: Rebounding is not permitted. Athletes must step down off the box or jump down and land flat footed. Reps should take less than 1:30 to complete each round.

– Wallballs: Reps should take less than 2:00 to complete each round.

– Score: Total time it takes to complete the workout. If capped, add 1s for every missed rep.

– Some athletes will be able to hold on for unbroken sets of snatches, while others may opt for small sets or singles. Let’s choose the strategy that allows us to stay moving.

– Settle into a steady pace on the box jump overs. This is the only place you will not need your arms so it is okay to pace these out a bit.

– Let’s aim for 4 sets or less on the wallballs. Just like the power snatches, let’s choose a strategy that allows for quick breaks.

– Focus on smooth transitions from movement to movement.

Get a Grip (Weight)

In teams of two do the following:
1) Finger tip plate hold
2) ski erg (calories)
3) Monkey rope KB hold
4) ski erg
5) Farmers carry (& KB hold)
6) ski erg
7) neutral grip pull up (or dead hang)
8) ski erg
9) 3-way hanging knee raises (left, center, right = 1)
10) ski erg
11) fat bar dead lift hold
12) ski erg
– 2:00 minutes at each station

– 1:00 minuteto switch

– every 15 s = weight used (or body weight were appropriate)

– partners will rotate on ski erg. Each calorie will be added to overall weight score

– if quick you can add weight during the 2 minutes to increase your score. To state the obvious, there are 8 – 15s blocks in every 2 minutes.

– Ex. both partners do fingertip hold at 35 lbs for 2 minutes each. 8 x 35 = 280 x 2 = 560 lbs.

“You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut” – Dr. Suess

This quote is worth reading twice.

We are creatures of habit. We enjoy our routines. From the morning rituals, to the way we warm up for a workout, to our regimented diets and food plans.

Although dialing in the routine is a great thing, it’s important that we remind ourselves to “keep our eyes open.” What Dr. Suess’s quote alludes to is an open mind. Even when we feel we’ve found exactly what works for us, we must resist the urge to close our eyes and ears to new ideas.

There is so much to learn, experience, and challenge ourselves with. That is, if we only keep our eyes open to do so.

Always a student.

Power Clean (Power Clean

MRx: 125/75, Rx: 185/115, Rx+: 225 / 155

Time Cap: 15 Minutes
– Conditioning Category: Grind. Athletes will grind through the chest to bar and heavy clean and jerks.

– Chest To Bar: Reps should take 2:00 or less each round.

– Clean &Jerks: Athletes can perform any style clean and any style jerk that they would like. Reps should feel heavy but loading should not exceed 75% of your 1RM clean &jerk.

– Score: Total time it takes to complete the workout. If capped, add 1s for every missed rep.

– The barbell is HEAVY today so let’s plan to break up the chest to bar if we know we are likely to struggle with the loading today.

Sets of 4’s or more works great here each round.

– If you feel confident in the barbell, let’s try to hold on for bigger sets of the chest to bar.

– The clean and jerks will best be cycled in singles.

“Don’t bunt. Aim out of the ballpark.” – David Oglivy

One of the most dangerous things we can do in life is to dream too small.

When we dig to the root of what causes this, we find that it’s fear.

We can convince ourselves that it’s too big of a goal. That it’s out of reach. That in and of itself, is the death of the dream. A self-fulfilling prophecy from that point forward, as we can’t accomplish what we can’t believe.

So it starts with that: belief. Belief that we can learn the skills, build the capacity, and hone the craft. Having the dream is only a part of the equation, and it will only come second to having the belief. The belief that you deserve to step up to the plate, and put the ball over the fences.

“There is a reason between listening, and waiting for your turn to speak.” – Simon Sinek

Listening is a skill.

To not “hear” the words of another, but to truly be in the moment. To listen sincerely.

Most listen with the intent to reply. That is, as the other is speaking, they’re already formulating what to say next. In these moments, they are no longer listening. We’ve shifted towards “hearing”.

In conversations today, pay close attention to our thoughts as the other is speaking.

The intention is this:

Listen with the intent to understand.

Not to reply.

There are two definitions in the English language for the word “Overcome”.

The first is that we are helpless. Overwhelmed, overrun, and beaten down, one who is “overcome” has lost the battle.

The second difference is the polar opposite. It is to triumph. To square off towards some form of adversity or obstacle, and to win.

These two definitions are on opposite spectrums for a reason. There is no middle ground. Adversity causes some to break. For others, it breaks records.

We don’t run from the fire. We run to it.

Skill Saw (AMRAP – Reps)

“Skill Saw”

AMRAP 12:
2,000/1,800 Meter Row
150 Double Unders
Max Distance Handstand Walk

– Conditioning Category: Threshold. Athletes should move through this workout at their maximal sustainable pace.

– Row: Should be completed in less than 8:30.

– Double Unders: Should be completed in less than 3:30.

– HSW: In a 25ft. grid, mark off every 5ft. Athletes must begin with both hands behind any line and finish fully crossed over any line that follows. Athletes should expect to have at LEAST 30s to get as far as they can.

– Score: Total 5ft. sections (reps) completed on the HSW.
– We are definitely going to want to push the row here but should aim to hold a pace that is slightly slower than our 2k pace (3-5s slower per 500m).

– If we know the double unders are going to be difficult to finish in around 3:00, let’s aim to break these up from the start with 5s breaks between sets. Think sets of 25-50 reps. If these are no problem for you, hold on for 1 unbroken set or 2-3 big sets.

– Once we get to the HSW we will need to see what’s there. Some athletes may need to go 5-10ft. at a time and some will be able to get all 25ft. at once. Any strategy works here at this point and it will all be by feel.
