Failure will bring future success

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

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.

AI Gone Wild

Leave a comment

The talk of the morning was about the AI videos created by JWOW had gone off the rails. The conversation would take our minds off the wet and rainy weather.
We began with a trip around the park stopping at each swing for an exercise. We detoured twice out in the field to enjoy the moist grass. Next, we made our way to front of Pike Engineering where we did three rounds of dips, derkins, split squats. Short trip to the adjacent parking lot for three rounds of partner exercises, Partner 1 ran while Partner 2 did muscle ups on the brick wall.
Next, we bear crawled to the top parking lot, continue our journey to the parking lot across from the Donut Shop. We did a short version of concaine bear. Ran it backways, replaced merkins with CCDs.
We made our way to Print Shop for 10 good pull-ups. Back to WEP for a round of 7s and a bear crawl around the theater.
