FIELD TRIP - 6.26.10

i believe it important to get out of our normal routine / surroundings and not only think, but work, "outside of the box". i was torn between a desire to work on the clean and jerk or head to the track for some much needed sprints. today's solution, to what so many of our fellow country men (and women) apparently don't even realize is a problem, is a mixture of both.

TECHNICAL ENDURANCE - 6.22.10

it's been said before and is 100% true... doing du or mu fresh is one thing, doing either while fatigued is what really matters. i threw this together last minute and sent out the call for willing victims. cabana was in. the game was on.
wow, it was hot.

PRESSure 6.15 / kb experiment 6.16

it's always good to step up to a challenge and also to experiment with your tools from time to time. if we're always doing the same stuff there will be no revelations, realizations, or solutions to be had. evolution and exploration are just as important ingredients as commitment and hard work.

UNBROKEN - 6.13.10

probably took too much time between rounds and before the squats but went unbroken on everything. unsure if i've ever done a 3rm back squat test but 255 has to be close. complete focus and effort was needed to successfully raise the load for the third time.

THE POWER MILE - 6.5.10

pacing and gaming of certain workouts is important to maximize our potential within the given scenario and today i feel like that mentality was justified. however, only by intentionally stepping outside of that safe place, going blindfolded into the desert with no water, compass, or food and finding the will to survive and the heart to commit will we truly come face to face with our potential self.
