“If you know your opponent, but not yourself, you will lose 100% of the time.” – Samurai Proverb
To “keep up with the Jones” is an old expression about competitive neighbors. A power struggle – or perhaps better said popularity struggle – of status on the block. To “keep up”, one must be on top of their investigative game, predicting the next big move so they can outmatch. That may be a nicer lawn or a fancier family Christmas card.
As we visualize these friendly rivals battling it out on the block, it’s safe to say that both sides… will lose. There won’t be a winner there.
We can study our competition to great length. And, we will indeed learn some absolutely beneficial statistics. But all the external statistics in the world won’t move us forward until we turn the investigative glasses to: ourselves.
Skill Conditioning Benchmark (Time)
Skill Conditioning Benchmark
4 Rounds For Time [12 Minute Cap]:
20/16 Calorie Echo Bike*
50 Unbroken Double Unders
*Must Be Completed Under 1 Minute
– Athletes will need to decide how long to rest before each movement in order to complete the task at hand.
– If you break up the double unders, you’ll have to start that set over.
– If you don’t complete the bike in under a minute you’ll need to complete the bike again. Athletes will need to average 400/320 watts to complete the bike in under 1:00.
– Athletes should not move through this like a typical 5 round workout. Rest will be needed but that rest, again, is up to the athlete.
– Score: Total time it takes to complete the workout. If capped, add 1s for every missed rep.

*THIS IS A HERO WOD. If you are scaling, this would be an example of how to scale.
RX is 405/285.
MRx 135/105 Rx: 245/185 Rx+: 405/285
– Conditioning Category: Pacer. Pacing will be an important factor in this workout.
– Deadlifts: The barbell should be heavy but should not cause the athlete to compromise their form. Loading should not exceed 80% of your 1RM deadlift.
– Toes To Bar: Should be completed in 1-2 sets each round. Reps should take less than 1:30.
– Bar-Facing Burpees: Athletes should jump over the bar. Reps should take less than 2:00.
– Score: Total Rounds + Reps.
– Aim for 1-2 sets on the TTB
– Pace the burpees to minimize the transition time between your last burpee and your deadlift.
– Take a couple breaths and get into a really good setup position before lifting the bar each round.
– Remember that slow is smooth and smooth is fast. This is a long workout. It is better to be more conservative with your pacing than you want to be in this workout.

“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?”

Nasty Girls V2 (Time)
3 Rounds for time of:
50 alternating pistols
7 Muscle-Ups
10 Hang Power Cleans, 175# / 115#
Time Cap 18min
MRx: 115/65, Rx: 155/95, Rx+: 175/115
– Conditioning Category: Threshold. Athletes will move at their maximal sustainable pace throughout.
– Single Leg Squats: Alternate legs every rep. Reps should be completed in less than 3:00.
– Ring Muscle-Ups: Reps should be completed in 3 sets or less and in less than 2:00.
– Hang Power Cleans: Loading should not exceed 70% of your 1RM hang power clean. Reps should be completed in less than 1:30.
– Score: Time it takes to complete the workout. If capped, add 1s for every missed rep.
– Athletes should settle into a steady pace on the pistols. These are a challenging movement for many athletes so being deliberate and making sure to hit every rep is key here and less important than speed.
– If you can go unbroken on the muscle-ups. This will be a big separator. If that’s not in the card, 1-2 quick breaks works great. Be sure to control the rings on the way down so that you won’t have to fumble around trying to hop back up.
– Again, if you can go unbroken on the hang cleans, this will be another separator. Aim to hold on but 2 sets works great here too.
Remember that right after the cleans is the single leg squats where we can recover a bit.

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.

– Score: Total time it takes to complete the workout. Swipe left and log your lift in the next piece.
– This workout is all about who can stay strong and hold their pace in rounds 8-10.
– We will want to move fast in the first few rounds but we should only do this if we feel confident we can hold that pace throughout or that we know our pace will only slow down slightly.
– Transitions are key here. Take as little steps as possible between your squats and your burpees.

“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.

“You can’t build on top of success you don’t acknowledge.” – Dallas Travers
There’s a dark side to being so driven.
We can be so focused on constantly improving that we can forget to look back, acknowledging the success we’ve had. I bet we can all relate to a time where we landed a PR lift, or a raise at work… where we *were* psyched… but only for mere seconds. Before we knew it, we were already thinking, “what’s next?” The finish line moved yet again.
It’s not wrong to be passionately driven.
That’s not where the harm comes from.
The harm comes when we don’t celebrate our victories.
We aim to live in a state of true “blissful dissatisfaction”. Grateful for every experience that comes our way, all the while in a fiery pursuit of the next best version of ourselves. Think of it less as a “pat on the back”, and more of a foundation that we build on. As the quote above teaches us, we can’t build on top of success we don’t acknowledge.
Squat Snatch (Squat Snatch

– For sets 2, 3, 5, &6, complete 1 squat snatch.
– Athletes should stick to given percentages even if they feel they could go heavier. We will build on this in the coming weeks.

– Let’s plan to break the double unders if these tend to tire out the shoulders. Every movement requires the shoulders in this workout so breaking here will help manage the fatigue early on.
– For the wallballs, let’s choose a strategy that helps us rest the least amount of time between sets. 1 big set followed by smaller sets, sets of 10, or even quick sets of 5 all work well here.
– For the hang power snatches, let’s aim for no more than 1-2 quick breaks on any round.
