“Every strike brings you closer to your next home run.” – Babe Ruth

When you hear the name “Babe Ruth”, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?

Hall of Fame home run hitter.

What is not the immediate reaction, is “all-time strikeout leader”. 1,300 strikeouts. A record for three decades he held. It was eventually broken, by another who struck out quite a bit too. Mickey Mantle. A name that would be hard to guess, as he’s right next to Babe Ruth in the hall of fame for his home run hits.

These two didn’t reach their success through the home runs. They reached it through the strike outs. Remove those embarrassing misses… and we would never know their names.

Every missed lift. Every poor competition. Every embarrassing stumble.

It’s bringing us closer.

This is where we get better.

“Energy and persistence conquer all things” – Benjamin Franklin

We are quick to pass judgements on what is possible.

Before we take measurement on what we are capable of learning, building, achieving, our thoughts gravitate to the magnitude of the obstacles ahead. And we pass judgement, based on our current state of affairs.

In doing so, we fail to realize how powerful we truly are.

Instead of looking at tasks as “possible” or “impossible”, ask ourselves – how hard as we willing to work?

If we don’t have the skills required to get the job – we can learn them.

If we don’t have the 400lb back squat – we can forge it.

If we’ve never ran more than a mile before, we can build our capacity to run in the Boston Marathon.

It’s not whether it’s possible or not – let’s take those out of our vocabulary.

It’s how hard we willing to work.

How much we are willing to sacrifice.

How far we are willing to go.

“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.

“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.

Warm-up (No Measure)

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

Metcon (AMRAP – Rounds and Reps)

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.
