Happy Thanksgiving

I'm not really sure where to begin, today i read EPIC by John Eldredge, Geoff had given me this book many months ago and although I never misplaced it, I never picked it up. I think it was because I was scared. Not scared like a little kid and the boogeyman, but scared in the way that when something really resonates with you, how it's almost overwhelming, or not even almost overwhelming, it is overwhelming. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about....someone makes a comment or a suggestion and you get that combination of gut feeling and tingling in your head but you can't quite put your finger on it and you know there's something to it but because you can't immediately identify and isolate it, it goes unresolved or gets forgotten. But later it happens again and you think, "There's really something to this."

So now I'm looking into what this "something" is. So today I'm thankful for fear, for motivation, for support in all shapes and forms, and challenge. Thank you to all those who offer advice, information, and that that I don't always want to hear. If I can give back a fraction of what I've received, I'll have accomplished a lot.

And so not to make this just thoughts, the new circuits for the next two weeks are:

C1)
Pushups * 10
Chins * 6
Burpees * 8
1 arm Swing 40kg * 8/8

C2)
Springing Tripod * 5/5
Muscle-up * 2
Pistol +12kg * 2/2
Double CnP 24kg * 3

C3)
Swipes 25lb Clubs * 10
Snatch 24kg * 10/10
Leg Swoop 3/3
Hammer Throw 25lb club 5/5

Today C1) 5 rounds in 15minutes maxHR 190 - recovery 1 minute 166
focused on bone rhythms and postural alignment with pushups, swings, and chins, focused on the same and "quiet" landings with burpees.

Then when on a slight tear...8 phone books, done popping, sideways, and grip and rip.

All in all feel really good.

Yes I know not exactly the most burly of workouts but trust me when you focus on the Z principles everything gets much harder training wise but your performance in your sport gets much better. It's working so far. I'm going to have an incredible season climbing, it's already better than any other i've ever had i've gotten a bunch of V5's and 6's outside in a single go or two and plan on breaking into the 5.13 realm for the first time outside, i've done stuff in that range inside but it's not the same, outside matters more to me. And for what it's worth today I weighed in at a 'beefy' 160lb and sub 5% bodyfat at almost 6foot. Now it's time to devour some turkey and fixins.
