Today’s Mindset

–De-Load Week–

“Your obsessions become your possessions.” – Ed Mylett

The word “obsessed” gets a bad rap.

And there’s indeed some merit to that.

But let’s try to define “to be obsessed” a little further. What it’s not defined by is “hours put in”. That may be correlation, but not causality. One is truly obsessed with something when their passion and fire for “that thing” is so great, that their willpower will see them through even the harshest of storms. Where every other person quits… they push on. To one who is obsessed, failure is simply not an option.

Be obsessed with reaching our dreams.

Be obsessed with becoming a better husband. A better wife.

A better son, a better daughter. A better friend, a better neighbor.

Be obsessed with what we care about the most. Our fiercest willpower, pointed in the right direction, is the most powerful thing in the world.

Doce (3 Rounds for reps)

3 x AMRAP 4, resting 4:00 between:

27/21 Calorie Row

15 Burpee BJO (24″/20″)

Part #1 – 135/95

Part #2 – 115/80

Part #3 – 95/65
Stimulus

DESCRIPTION

– We’ll complete as many rounds and reps as possible in these fast-paced intervals

– With rest built in, look to bring the intensity today

– The weight decrease each round will allow us to maintain similar scores despite being fatigued

– The general maximum time we’re looking to spend on the row and power cleans combined is 3 minutes total

– This gives us at least 1 minute to complete burpee box jump overs

POWER CLEANS

– When choosing weights, consider the following set suggestions:

1st Bar: 3-4 Sets Today

2nd Bar: 2-3 Sets Today

3rd Bar: 1-2 Sets Today

BURPEE BOX JUMP OVERS

– You can jump up or step-up out of the burpee

– Jump-up to the box for “RX”

– There is no need to stand to full extension on top of the box

Strategy

ROW

– The goal on the rower is to create a lot of power without completing all out sprints

– Look to control your recovery in and push hard with the legs on the drive out

– Keeping the stroke rate low and power high can help you get to the power cleans quickly and prepared to attack touch-and-go sets

POWER CLEANS

– The power cleans get easier with each round as the weight decreases

– Aim to work through larger sets with each drop in weight

– Even at the heaviest bar, let’s still aim for touch-and-go sets over singles, as the work windows are short

– Here are some options for getting to 21 reps:

Heaviest Bar: 9-7-5, 7-7-7, 6-5-5-5

Middle Bar: 12-9, 7-7-7

Lightest Bar: 21, 12-9

BURPEE BOX JUMP OVERS

– Let’s move at a strong pace here that gets you back to the rower ASAP

– Even if the first couple calories on the rower are slower because of your aggressive pace here, you got strapped in and started moving the handle

DESCRIPTION

– An upper body push/pull piece to finish the day.

– We want to try and have the negative of the movement slower than the concentric part of the movement on the bench press and bent-over rows.

– This tempo allows us to slowly load and build strength throughout the full range of motion.

– Emphasize technique and control overloading.
