“I don’t like that man. I should get to know him better.” – Abraham Lincoln
Perspective is everything.
In the abundance mindset, there is the belief all human beings are good. No one is born evil. The differences, between a terrorist and a police officer, are not malintentions. Both in their own mind, believe they are doing “the right thing”. The difference between the two are their interpretations, and understanding, of the world. Massive differences, but still at the root, perspectives.
A situation we can all relate to from some point in our lives, is poor first impression. An introduction to someone who… you’d rather not spend another second on. After the interaction, you want to distance yourself as far away as possible. Yet, life puts us right back next to them, not by choice, but by chance.
And we talk. And we strike some common ground. And we understand. We may not be close friends, but the brief amount of time we spent with them afforded us the chance to better understand their perspective.
Next time we find ourselves feel the wave of animosity towards someone, remind ourselves… we just need to get to know them a little bit better.

After Each Barbell Movement: 30 Double Unders
GENERAL
-We’ll use two different barbells for today’s workout
-After each movement is complete (10 times), you’ll complete 30 double unders before moving back to the bar
OVERHEAD SQUATS
-Looking for a lighter overhead squat weight – something that you could complete each set with no more than one break
DEADLIFTS
-The deadlift is intended to be on the lighter side today
-This should be a weight that we could very well complete every set unbroken if fresh, but will likely break up into many sets to help pace things out
DOUBLE UNDERS
-Choose a double under rep number or variation that you can complete in around 30 seconds each round
-A few ways to modify volume:
-Complete 30 Double Under After Each Set of Deadlifts (5 Sets Instead of 10)
-Reduce Reps
-30 Seconds of Practice

“There is but one degree of commitment; total.” – Arnie Sherr
When we are “interested” in something, we’ll do what’s convenient. But when we are “committed” to something… we’ll do whatever it takes.
When we are only interested in a goal, one that doesn’t deeply drive us, we’ll feel the first obstacle that comes our way… and stop. We can find compromises, and comfort-based decisions, given how the uncomfortableness of the inevitable struggle is stronger than our will to win.
Yet, what the quote urges us to do, is to fully commit. Before we embark on the journey, to fully sit and realize the work that is to come. The challenges we’ll face. And to visualize, overcoming all of them. To build this will to be so strong, that no amount of obstacles could ever stop it.
Struggle is guaranteed. The difference will be our level of commitment amidst. No matter where we go in life, let’s go with our full heart.

“One can have no smaller or greater mastery, than mastery of oneself.” – Leonardo DiVinci
Leonardi DiVinci was one of the first documented individuals to believe that humans could take flight. Before such an idea became a mainstream success… talk about a horrific idea! The thought of hurling a human into the air, like a bird, with no guarantee of landing.
The above quote speaks to his greatest accomplishment. His mastery over his mind. He well knew of the risks, and well recognized the fears. But he believed it to be possible through it all.
The one person that will stop of us from doing what we want to do, looks back at us in the mirror.
It’s good to acknowledge that the primary job of our brain is to keep us safe. It’s going to try to keep us away from risk, danger, and failure.
It’s you versus you.

Strategy
STRATEGY
TOES TO BAR
-There is no set too small on the toes to bar today
-Choose the option that allows you to spend the least time resting and the most time moving
-Below are a few options to think about:
3 Sets: 5-5-5 or 6-5-4
4 Sets: 4-4-4-3
5 Sets: 3-3-3-3-3 or 5-4-3-2-1
“MACHO MAN”
-The power cleans serve as the pacer of the barbell movements
-Singles are likely the best option here to keep you moving forward
-Going singles here allows you to hold onto the squats and jerks ideally unbroken
-Take as much time between clean singles as needed to ensure unbroken squats and jerks
