“Pain versus Discomfort”
There is a common misconception about pain.
Pain is not what we feel inside of a conditioning workout, or the tail end of a heavy squat set.
Real pain is different.
Pain is when we are walking through the garage and step on a nail.
Pain is when we loose a limb.
Real pain, is when we loose a loved one.
What we feel inside conditioning sets is not pain… it’s discomfort.
Training isn’t painful. It’s uncomfortable at times, but – it’s not pain.
Let’s use this as a perspective change as we enter today’s training.
Today, let’s get uncomfortable.
4 Rounds:
1 Minute Toes to Bar
1 Minute Power Snatches (75/53)
1 Minute Thrusters (75/53)
1 Minute Calorie Bike
Rest 2 Minutes Between Rounds
“Waste No More Time Arguing What A Good Person Should Be. Be One.” – Marcus Aurelius
It isn’t what we say that defines us, but instead what we do.
In today’s modern world, opinions flow freely. This is a great thing. Yet with such healthy discussions and debates, comes drama, confusion, and a blurred line between what is right and wrong.
The term ‘paralysis through analysis’ is an expression used that describes a situation where we overthink things. We try to appease every opinion, and in attempting so, we do nothing.
Marcus Aurelius urges us to contemplate less, and act more. To be the change we want to see in this world, rather than to argue for it.
For Time:
10 Rounds of “Rowling”
*The goal of “Rowling” is to try to land on exactly 100 meters. 93 meters or 107 meters are both scores of 7. Athletes who just rowed will complete 7 air squats before their next partner can begin. Reset the monitor for each round. The team who rows fastest and/or gets the smallest number of penalty reps will have the best opportunity to win. To make it fair, line up by height and pair the athletes on each end up with each other. For example, the tallest athlete will be paired with the shortest athlete and so on.
*we’ll calm down with a 90 second couch stretch on each side once the game has wrapped up
Teams of 2, 25 min AMRAP:
1k Row
50 Synchro Air Squats
60 Russian Swings (70/53)
*Split row meters and cleans as you see fit. Synchronize at the top of the air squats. 50 total reps together as partners.
Solo version
3 rounds:
1k Row
50 air squats
25 Russian Swings 70/53
