“Enthusiasm is common. But endurance, is rare.” – Angela Duckworth

How often do we see a friend start a goal, only to fall off in a matter of weeks (maybe days)? Enthusiasm or motivation is quick to come by, but also quick to go.

Motivation and short term goals can’t change us. They can’t even move us. What does, are reasons. It’s not the goal of “losing 5 pounds” that drives her forward… it’s because she wants to set the example to her daughter that we’re not “genetically pre-determined” to be overweight, even if the entire family has always been.

Reasons are what wakes us up in the morning. Reasons are what drives us to go the extra mile. It’s where we draw our endurance from.

Goals and enthusiasm aren’t wrong to have, but they can’t be our backbone. Enthusiasm can be broken. Reasons on the other hand, are impenetrable.

DOUBLE DUMBBELL DEADLIFTS

Single Dumbbell Deadlifts (Alternate Arms Every Round) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S40eu8aKP18&feature=youtu.be
DESCRIPTION

Todays workout follows the tabata interval format of 20 seconds on and 10 seconds off

We’ll alternate back and forth between these two movements for 16 rounds lasting 16 minutes

After a big day yesterday of upper body and squatting, we’ll use different muscle groups today to balance things out

Because there is rest built in, the movements are simple, and we switch between muscle groups – we’re looking to move for all 20 seconds each round

Your score will be the lowest number of reps at each movement added together

For Example: If your lowest set of deadlifts was 10 and your lowest set of sit-ups was 12, your score for the day would be 22 reps

DOUBLE DUMBBELL DEADLIFTS

The dumbbell weight is designed to be on the lighter side

Touch one head of the dumbbells on the outside of the feet in the bottom of each rep

This should be a weight that you are capable of competing for 35+ reps unbroken when fresh

Within the workout you should be able to hold on for all 20 seconds

If you have a barbell available and would like to use it, the prescribed weight would be (135/95)

DESCRIPTION

Today’s conditioning piece will train your handstand walking skills under midline fatigue

Between each set of AbMat Sit-ups and Dumbbell Deadlifts is a 25′ Handstand Walk

You can set your Dumbbells and AbMat 25 feet apart so you are essentially handstand walking from station to station

DOUBLE DUMBBELL DEADLIFTS

The dumbbell weight we’re using today would be heavier on some movements, but it is relatively light for the deadlift

Choose a weight that allows you to complete each round in 1-2 sets

Holding the bells on the outside of the body with a narrow stance, you’ll tap on head of the dumbbell on the floor in the bottom of each rep

HANDSTAND WALK

Walking in 25′ increments today for a grand total of 250′

Each 25 foot segment should take 30 seconds or less to complete

Adjust your distance or choose a variation that works within this time frame

STRATEGY

ABMAT SIT-UPS & DUMBBELL DEADLIFTS

The AbMat Sit-ups and relatively light deadlifts are lower skill movements, but they will fatigue nearly every part of the body for handstand walks

Adjust your pace on these two movements to maximize your abilities on your hands

If you know the handstand walks will present a big challenge, slow down your cycle time on sit-ups and break up the deadlifts more than you want to

This slower pace will enable you to approach the handstand walks under control, which can lead to better execution

If you’re more confident in your handstand walking abilities, see if you can push the pace on these two movements

HANDSTAND WALK

The hardest part on handstand walks can sometimes be just starting the movement

Waiting for the perfect time is common, as this is a very high skill movement

Breaking the 25 feet into smaller chunks physically and mentally can help you get going soon after finishing the deadlifts and sit-ups

Rather than thinking of having to go 25 feet unbroken, just kick up and get 5-10 feet

Once you’re up, you may feel like you can

“I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.” – Jacob Riis

We crave the confirmation of progress. Whether that be weekly increases in weights, continual raises at work, or anything between. It can be in our nature to seek out those signals. Yet we can learn something from the stonecutter.

When a stonecutter addresses his next task, splitting a giant stone in two, he starts hammering away. One blow at a time, he lines up each and every strike with meticulous precision. 10 strikes pass by, and there is no visible change to the stone. 50 strikes go by, and still no visible change. No cracks, dents, or any indication of… anything. 100 strikes pass, and, the same. On the 101st strike, it splits in two.

Through the 100 strikes, there wasn’t an external signal or sign that this was working. But beneath the surface, invisible to the eye, the stone was splitting with each passing blow. It wasn’t something different about the final strike… it was instead the culmination of all 101 blows. Impossible without a single one of them.

True change takes place from the inside out. And much like the stonecutter, we have two options: to spend emotional energy worrying if we’re making progress, or to have full faith in the process, spending every ounce of focus we have on that next strike.

DESCRIPTION

Double unders at the top of every minute will interrupt your progress on this three round workout

Starting on the 0:00 and every minute thereafter, you’ll complete 20 double unders

With whatever time remains in the minute, complete as many reps of the single dumbbell movements or burpees as you can

After each set of double unders, pick up wherever you left off in the round

Your score is the total time it takes you to complete the 3 rounds

We expect this workout to take between 18-25 minutes to complete

DOUBLE UNDERS

This number is meant to be relatively small

This station ideally takes 20 seconds or less to complete, giving you 40 seconds to work through the scored movements

Adjust the rep number as needed or choose from another variation listed in the “modifications” section

DUMBBELL MOVEMENTS

We’ll use a single dumbbell for both dumbbell movements today

Choose your weight based off the more challenging of the two – the dumbbell snatch

This should be a load that you can cycle for 20+ reps unbroken when fresh

On each movement, you’ll alternate sides every rep:

Lunges: 20 Reps Per Leg

Snatches: 15 Reps Per Arm

The back knee should touch the ground in the lunges and both bells should touch the ground in the snatches

Ensure you are fully locked out up top on each movement before switching sides

You can hold the dumbbell wherever is most comfortable for you on the step back lunges

BURPEES

The burpees to finish out each round are standard burpees

The chest and thighs touch the floor in the bottom

You can jump up or step up

Finish at full extension with a small clap overhead and some air under the feet

“Belief is irresistible.” – Phil Knight

Inspiration can move us for a couple moments. Motivation, might have hours. A day at most. They both run out. Belief however, will never. Belief is unending.

When we believe to the core of our being in something, failure is not an option. It’s just not a possibility in our world. We can get kicked down, beat up, thrown into the mud over and over… but it won’t matter. Because we’ll get back up, every time smarter. Belief knows nothing but to try once more.

Yet one of the greatest tragedies in life is that we don’t believe.
We don’t believe we have control over our lives.
We don’t believe we have the capabilities, or if we ever will.
We don’t believe we’re the right person.

Yet one thing we can believe – that is it us, and only us, that can create the life we want. And if we can take that to heart, then there is nothing else to do, but to try once more.

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

DESCRIPTION

Today’s workout is longer, light, and balanced

Over the 20 minutes we’ll work through some cardio, strict gymnastics, and, light weightlifitng

We can expect to complete around 7-10 rounds when all is said and done

STRICT PULL-UPS

Choose a rep number or variation that allows you to complete this station in 1-2 sets each round

BARBELL MOVEMENTS

The barbell is intended to be light for the push presses and very light for the deadlifts

We’ll choose our weight based off the more challenging movement – the push press

This should be a weight that you can complete the 10 reps unbroken in every round today

Remember that there is no re-bend of the knees in the push press after driving the weight off the shoulders

GENERAL

This workout is similar to Wednesday’s (“CEO”) in the sense that the movement patterns do not really interfere with each other

Inside the gym, we rotate between:

Strict Pull-ups: Upper Body Pull

Push Presses: Upper Body Push

Deadlifts: Lower Body Pull

The only interference between muscle groups happens with the deadlifts into the 200 meter runs, as both are lower body pulling movements

Because of this structure, we encourage you to push through large and possibly unbroken sets at each movement

The big thing to consider in this longer workout is what pace is sustainable

It can be helpful to open up the round at a pace that you think you can sustain for 20 minutes

It’s not too fast or slow – ideally somewhere right in the middle

After finishing the deadlifts, take a look at the clock and note the time

If you finish in 2:00, that can be your goal round time moving forward for the rest of the workout

In this example, you would try to finish your next rounds by the 4:00, 6:00, 8:00, and so on…

Maintaining this pace means you would finish with 10 rounds at the end of 20 minutes

Use whatever your opening round split is as your guide for the rest of the workout

“There may be people that have more talent than you, but there’s no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do.” – Derek Jeter

Whether we believe in talent or is irrelevant.
Everyone, however, should believe in hard work.

When we were born, we looked just like the next baby. We didn’t have any skills, any separating “talents”. Nothing. We learned everything, from scratch.

Yet, there is a time in our lives that we think we can’t learn anymore. That we’re too old to learn new tricks. In that moment, remind ourselves…. nothing has changed but our perceptions. It’s a self-imposed limit that goes directly against our greatest strength, and what makes us human. Adaptability.

The difficult pill to swallow is that when we chalk it up to not having the “talent”, it’s really an excuse. An excuse that we don’t want to put in the hard work. When we can see it from that angle, talent doesn’t matter. All that matters now, is how hard we’re willing to think, plan, strategize…. and work.

“I was complaining I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet.” – Confucius

A short story to share.
A man walked into a shop to order some flowers to be sent as a gift to his mother, living 200 miles away.

As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing. He asked her what was wrong and she replied, “I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars.” The man smiled and said, “Come on in with me. I’ll buy you a rose.” He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother’s flowers.

As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, “Yes, please! You can take me to my mother!” She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.

The man returned to the flower shop, cancelled the gifting order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother’s house.

At times, we can take many such relationships with our family and friends for granted. A humbling reminder to value what we have.

Never whine, never complain, never make excuses.

DESCRIPTION

“CEO” a.k.a “Chief Exercise Officer” is a twist on the benchmark workout “The Chief”

You’ll move quickly for 3 minutes and rest for 1 in this interval piece

The way the workout is written allows for a high intensity to be maintained:

There is built in rest

The reps are small

The movements patterns do not interfere with each other

Use weights and variations that allow you to complete at least 4 rounds within each AMRAP (1 Round Every :45 Seconds)

Record total rounds and reps for all 5 intervals, as your score is the sum total of these numbers

DOUBLE DUMBBELL POWER SNATCHES

Both heads of the dumbbells touch the floor between the legs at the bottom of each rep

Jump the dumbbells overhead in one smooth motion to a locked out position

This should be a moderate load that will be completed unbroken each round

PUSH-UPS

The chest touches the floor in the bottom and elbows reach full extension at the top of each rep

Choose a rep number or variation that you can complete unbroken each round

STRATEGY

GENERAL

The constant rotation of muscle groups being used, combined with the built in rest, allows us to push the pace in this workout

We move from a total body pull, to an upper body push, to a lower body push

See if you can complete each movement unbroken within these short windows

The two things you can adjust as needed are your transition time and air squat speed

If you are confident in sustaining unbroken sets at each movement, quickly transition from one movement to the next and speed up your air squats to cut down on dead time

If you want to control your pace a little more while still moving forward, slow down your air squat and transition speeds

We’re pulling with the upper body and the lower body in today’s Body Armor piece

Within these 30 seconds windows, you’ll complete as many quality reps of each movement as you can

If you only have one dumbbell available, complete 30 seconds on each arm and leg before resting for 30 seconds
