Failure will bring future success

Sometimes you have a plan and it fails miserably. This morning I loaded a cart with sandbags, kettlebells , and other heavy objects, over 320 pounds. I thought the weight would have enough resistance to challenge the person pulling it. Unfortunately, it was only challenging pulling uphill. Not a total failure, the cart held the weight it advertised as its capacity.
We ventured around the carpool path stopping for three exercises. Bent-over rows, curls, shoulder press, Simbas, flutters with press, over shoulder toss, man-makers are some of the exercises we did this morning.
I will retry this cart at a future Q and get it right.

On repeat

WARMUP: Yes:
SSH,
IW,
HW,
yoga w/
shoulder taps
peter parkers

THE THANG:
6 deadlifts
5 hang cleans
4 front squats
3 over head presses
2 manmakers
Then move!

We just did that on repeat. Like wiping down the counters, doing the laundry, dealing with traffic, or making the bed, some stuff isn't awful once or at first, but the monotony of having to do it day after day after day after day after day grinds on you.

Gotta build the strength to keep on keeping on. It ain't about what you WANT to do; it's about what you GET TO do, or what you NEED TO do. Often an authentic meaning is found in the work you've been avoiding.
