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.

INTERRUPTED INDULGENCE - 5.15.10

this was exactly what the doctor ordered. an effective combination aimed right at the core of the self preservation hub. result: direct hit. there is nowhere to hide, no escape, and no choice but to keep going.

POST WORK - 5.13.10

by the time i headed down the driveway and out onto the street for this 5,280ft of torture. needless to say, comfort was out of the question, regardless of what i tried.

A SIMPLE PLAN - 5.12.10

i'm anticipating elevated levels of soreness in my upper body for a few days but this was worth it. always been a fan of primarily body weight scenarios and this only increases the addiction.

MEDICATION WITH PAIN - 5.10.10

my goal for this was to modify to a load that, with full throttle application, would produce a time at or below the 3 min mark. for me it was just a matter of how many seconds under could i get. unfortunately things didn't go as planned.

MISCELLANEOUS MILE - 5.8.10

it's important to leave the gym / garage whenever possible and get outside for a change of scenery. this workout was a nice change of pace and a welcome reprieve from recent efforts.
