ALONE... RELENTLESS... DRIVEN FROM WITHIN.

"He who gains victory over other men is strong;

but he who gains victory over himself is all powerful" - Lao Tzu

on the importance of video analysis...

taking the time to record your efforts and put yourself under the microscope in order to analyze, critique, and tear apart your actions is necessary in order to understand how you move. from there the time must be invested to learn what steps can be taken to improve. only after an honest self assessment and application of knowledge will the dividends reveal themselves. at that point one can begin to experience improved control, more efficient movement of loads thru time and space, and increased rate of motion.

UNDER GROUND 11.25.10

playing catch up until the final round i reached the muscle ups at the same time as my counterpart, completing the first one before he started. what i didn't count on was an unbroken set of 4 on his part leaving me down by 2 as i watched him strap in for the final row.

EXPERIMENTATION DAY 11.20.10

how much can we use what's just lying around that i normally don't? or how can it be used in a different way? this thought led to a multitude of ideas while these efforts were in the planning stages. inspired and motivated, the lab worked overtime to put together the concoctions you see here today
