“Attempt the impossible, in order to improve your work.” – Brian Tracey
Enter certain failure (the impossible), to improve.
At first, that seems a bit ridiculous. Yet, as much of an oxymoron as it seems, by making mistakes, by reaching outside our comfort zone, by truly feeling stupid… we become smarter.
The paradigm shift is to get away from trying things, purely to succeed. And to instead try things, to learn. To grow a sense of curiosity and belief that everything is a chance to grow. Trying things with the intention to learn changes our definition of what a “failure” is. We begin to look at things as opportunities, versus pass/fail assessments.
We recognize that our body adapts to physical stress, but it’s easy to forget that our brain functions the same way. Much like how reaching for the PR snatch feels like an impossibility at the time, we just need to try.

DESCRIPTION
This longer AMRAP workout has a little bit of everything – as it includes cardio, gymnastics, and weightlifting
After completing the 400 meter run, you’ll complete all 3 rounds of 4-8-12 before heading out for another 400 meter run
For scoring purposes, 1 full round is the 400 meter run + the 3 rounds of 4-8-12
Record total rounds and reps completed at the end of 25 minutes
Only count fully completed 400 meter runs towards your score
If you finished the full run, record 400 reps
If you complete partial runs, write the estimated distance in the notes section
For Example:
Let’s say you completed 2 full rounds + a 400 meter run + 4 strict pull-ups
Your final score would be 2+404
STRICT PULL-UPS
Choose a number or variation that can be completed in 1-2 quick sets each round
See further down the page for a list of modifications
DUMBBELL POWER SNATCHES
Alternate arms every rep for a total of 4 each side
This should be a weight that you can complete without breaking
JUMPING LUNGES

DESCRIPTION
This longer AMRAP has a little bit of everything – as it includes cardio, weighlifting, and gymnastics movements
Choose variations and weights that allow you to complete 5+ rounds (1 round every 5 minutes)
SUMO DEADLIFT HIGH PULLS
Looking to cycle a moderate load for the sumo deadlift high pull
This movement finishes with the barbell at collarbone height
Choose a weight that allows you to complete the 6 reps in 1-2 quick sets
ALTERNATING PISTOLS
Alternate legs every rep for a total of 6 each side
Choose a rep number or variation that allows you to clear this station in less than 1 minute
ROPE CLIMBS
Similar to the pistols, we’re also looking to choose a rope climb number or variation that allows you to clear this station in less than 1 minute
STRATEGY
GENERAL
No one movement in this workout will get too fatiguing, as the rep numbers are fairly small
This means this longer workout will mostly come down to skills and conditioning
The more developed you are with your skills, especially with the rope climbs and pistols, the faster you can afford to move
If you know the high skilled movements will be a challenge, slowing down your runs and transition times will be beneficial in helping you develop those skills within this workout
Establish a pace from the beginning that you see yourself being able to sustain throughout
For Example: If your first round takes 4 minutes, look to hold that pace on your way to 6+ rounds at the end of 25 minutes
Complete your first round under control and use that time as your guide for the remainder of the workout

“As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.” – Seneca
It’s a cliche to say life is short.
Yet, life is plenty long. If that is, we spend it intentionally.
At first glance, this quote can be interpreted as a means to fight back procrastination. Another interpretation is action in different way. Instead of focusing on doing more, on accomplishing more… *appreciate* more. In a world where the norm is do more and more… it’s a step back. So that, we can take in the moments we have in front of us. So that we can focus on the quality of the most important parts of our lives, as opposed to being caught up in the “gold rush”.
If we can live with both intention and gratitude, life will be plenty long.

MODIFICATIONS
FARMERS CARRY
Single Arm Farmers Carry
Odd Object Farmers Carry
DOUBLE DUMBBELL DEADLIFTS
Single Dumbbell Deadlifts
Odd Object Deadlifts
DESCRIPTION
This triplet workout is centered around some “grunt work” style movements performed with a pair of dumbbells
Rotating through an double dumbbell carry, a lower body pull, and midline movement will allow you to keep moving with intensity through the 16 minutes of work
The intended scoring target for this workout is 4+ rounds [1 Round Every 4 Minutes]
FARMERS CARRY
You’ll hold 2 dumbbells for this 100 meters farmers carry
Choose a weight here that allows you to complete the 200 meters unbroken when fresh
DOUBLE DUMBBELL DEADLIFTS
Only one head of each dumbbell has to make contact with the ground in the bottom of each rep
If you chose the right weight for the carry, it will very likely be the right weight for the deadlifts
This should be a load that allows you to complete the 35+ reps unbroken when fresh

Sweat Sixteen (AMRAP – Rounds and Reps)
AMRAP 16:
21/15 Calorie Assault Bike
15 Toes to Bar
9 Overhead Squats (165/115)
DESCRIPTION
This triplet workout is a balance of all three modalities: monostructural, gymnastic, and weightlifting
The intended scoring target for this workout is 3+ rounds
TOES TO BAR
Looking for a mid-volume set of reps here
We want to be able to complete this station in no more than 90s at our slowest round
Fast singles is always an option, with consistency across the rounds being a focal point
OVERHEAD SQUATS
We want the heavier barbell today
Stimulus calls for a loading we could complete 15+ unbroken when fresh
Strategy
GENERAL
Pacing is the focus, and it’s best to start with the overhead squats
Based on our capacity on the lift, we can backplan our pacing on the bike and toes to bar
It is very easy to allow our first round to be our fastest, with two movements (TTB + OHS) that can slow dramatically
Thinking ahead, round 3’s breakup strategy should very closely resemble round 1’s
ASSAULT BIKE
This is the pacer of the workout
We push this station relative to our TTB and OHS capacity
In other words, if we are unbroken on both, we then look to push the bike
The reverse is a recipe for a lower score.. push the bike, and excessively break up the TTB and OHS
For the sake of a pace visual, imagine we are completing a ~10:00 Assault Bike max calorie test
TOES TO BAR
The OHS + TTB combination can be deceptive to our grip
We have a “break” coming off the Assault Bike, when thinking between OHS to TTB, but keep that in mind
Consistency is king here, with break up strategies all be valid as long as they are so
Be wary of big sets and big breaks here.. time can disappear
Consider a descending rep scheme so that we have a bit more of a recovery before the heavy OHS
OVERHEAD SQUATS
We again are looking for the heavy lift, which may place us in a “clean and jerk to back rack” setup position
For many, this should be the setup, as the risk/reward of trying to snatch it can be very poor
We don’t need to think much on the setup for a clean at this weight, but with a snatch, we do… keep that in mind
We want to aim for big (if not unbroken each time) sets… resting the extra couple of seconds before is the right move
If mobility allows, a slightly more narrow grip on the barbell can provide a stronger overhead position

“Excitement comes from the achievement. Fulfillment comes from the journey.”
Winning the award is exciting. Fulfillment is looking back at the hard work put in.
There’s irony when we think about defining moments. When we forecast into the future, we build up in our minds that accomplishing the achievement is the ultimate. Exciting in the actual moment, but when we look back… the real defining moments were the experiences that led up to those big achievements.
The trials, the tribulations… the early mornings and late nights.
The blood, the sweat, the tears.
The dopamine hit comes when we win, hit the goal, or get the promotion.
But the fulfillment – the true, ever lasting feeling of satisfaction – comes from the quality of our struggle over every obstacle. The relationships we forged with others through it all.
When we focus on the journey being the ultimate prize, we can truly start to love every step of the way.
Growing Pains (AMRAP – Rounds and Reps)

KETTLEBELL SWINGS
The kettlebell swings finish all the way overhead
These should be performed with a moderately heavy weight that allows for unbroken sets
DOUBLE UNDERS
Choose a rep number or variation that you can complete in 2 minutes or less
STRATEGY
“NATE”
The rep numbers on a round of “Nate” are fairly small and manageable on their own
It’s the collective number of reps over the 15 rounds that creates the challenge
However, these shorter rounds allow us to maintain a higher intensity than larger sets would because we’re constantly switching movements
Let’s aim for unbroken sets on the ring muscle-ups and handstand push-ups if possible
KETTLEBELL SWINGS
In order to maintain these unbroken sets of gymnastics, you can take a rest between movements or halfway through the kettlebell swings
The kettlebell swings are the least technical of all 3 movements
Breaking here can help you stay under control for the more technical movements
DOUBLE UNDERS
With 400 total reps, think about how you’ll be breaking these reps up in the last two rounds and approach them like that from the beginning:
1 Set: 100
2 Sets: 50-50 or 60-40
3 Sets: 40-30-30
4 Sets: 25-25-25-25
5 Sets: 20-20-20-20-20

“Trade your expectation for appreciation, and the world changes around you” – Tony Robbins
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 sit in traffic as we drive them to school.
As Tony Robbins quotes, if we can remove expectations from the norm, and replace them with a sense of gratitude, our entire world changes. We start to see the abundance in life again, versus it being blended into the background.

DESCRIPTION
We’ll work through back-to-back couplet workouts that combine a dumbbell movement with a “floor” movement
You’ll start off by completing all the reps of power snatches and push-ups in part 1 before advancing to part 2
There is no rest between part 1 and 2 – you’ll move directly from one to the next
Your score is the total time it takes to complete the 240 reps
The intended time range for this workout is between 14-24 minutes
ALTERNATING DUMBBELL POWER SNATCHES
Alternate hands each rep for a total of 15-10-5 each side
Both heads of the bell should make contact with the floor
Choose a weight for both dumbbell movements that you can complete for 30+ reps unbroken when fresh
You can also adjust the reps as needed [21-15-9, 15-12-9…]
ALTERNATING DUMBBELL HANG CLEAN AND JERKS
You’ll also switch hands every rep on the hang clean and jerks
For the hang clean, swing the bell between the legs like a kettlebell swing
For the jerk, you can push press or push jerk the weight overhead
PUSH-UPS
If you have over 30 push-ups unbroken when fresh, let’s complete this piece as written
If you’re not quite there, consider reducing the reps or choosing a modification
Completing this station as 21-15-9 reduces the reps from 60 to 45

MOVEMENT FOCUS
BOX SQUAT
The box squat is designed to utilize more glutes, hamstring, and back than the traditional back squat
We’ll break this movement down into 4 parts: Stance, Down, Sitting, and Up
For the stance, we want to take a wider stance than usual to help pin point the posterior chain more
On the way down, think about sitting back slowly so the shins are vertical instead of dropping straight down
We want to briefly pause in a sitting position to take away the stretch reflex of the movement instead of just bouncing off the box
The goal is to be explosive as possible on the way up to our standing position

Lateral Barbell Burpees
DESCRIPTION
We’ll work through back-to-back couplet workouts that combine an Olympic lift with a “jumping” bodyweight movement
You’ll start off by completing all the reps of power snatches and box jump overs in part 1 before advancing to part 2
There is no rest between part 1 and 2 – you’ll move directly from one to the next
The format of the workout is designed to allow you to keep moving forward even as volume accumulates – as the barbell and jumping movements get less complex in part 2
The intended time range for this workout is between 14-24 minutes
BARBELL MOVEMENTS
Choose your barbell weight based off the more challenging movement – the power snatch
This should be a lighter load that you are capable of cycling for 21+ reps unbroken when fresh
LATERAL BARBELL BURPEES
You can jump up or step up out of the burpees
Take off with two feet when jumping over the bar
You do not have to stand to full extension on the jump
BOX JUMP OVERS
Just like on the burpees, you do not have to stay to full extension on the box
You can face the box or perform these laterally
Jump up to the box to perform this movement as prescribed
Strategy
GENERAL
In each of these couplet workouts, there is one movement you’ll need to break up and one movement you’ll need to stay moving on
Although the weight on the barbell is relatively light, the reps are high
In total, we have 120 barbell reps
Take that total number into consideration when planning your break up strategy
Chip away at these barbell reps and try to keep your rest between sets to 10 seconds or less
The goal is to find a steady pace on your “”jumping”” movement that supports your strategy on the barbell
Consider the following options for each set on the barbell:
Set of 30:
2 Sets: 15-15 or 20-10
3 Sets: 10-10-10 or 12-10-8
4 Sets: 8-8-7-7
5 Sets: 6’s
6 Sets: 5’s
Set of 20:

Life will throw it’s curveballs. It’s illnesses, injuries, and schedule conflicts. But it is a choice to allow those to change our cardinal direction. There is always a way to continue North.

“Our greatest fear in life should not be failure. Our greatest fear in life should be succeeding in things that don’t matter.” – Francis Chan
One of life’s greatest tragedies: we tend to think that things will be different if we achieve more, win more, or make more money. But if those things have never changed us before, even if we win the world… would it change us today? Like thirsty people guzzling salt water, it’s a never-ending cycle that does not lead to fulfillment.
Yet we can work tirelessly for that next finish line, putting all of eggs in that basket, wishing, hoping, and working tirelessly to get there. One of our greatest fears, as written in the quote above, is to get there, and to realize… we didn’t climb the right ladder. It didn’t bring us to where we wanted to be. How we wanted to feel.
It always boils down to this – the quality of our relationships, the positive influence we impart on others, and who we become in the process. Hustle is crucial, but placing first things first is absolutely vital. Which ladder are we climbing today?

Your score today is total number of strict ring dips completed at the end of 6 minutes
This is a high interference piece that will tax your upper body lockout, so break up the strict ring dips as needed
RING DIPS
If you have 15+ unbroken strict ring dips, we recommend competing this piece as written
If you’re not quite there, you can reduce reps (climb by 1 each round) or choose another variation from “subs”
The range of motion here is:
Elbows fully locked at the top
Shoulder below the elbow in the bottom
L-SIT
Choose a time or a variation that allows you to complete this station unbroken
