Words of Wisdom

Early this month we again spoke about the importance of a journal. Both that food journal and exercise journal are tools to hold you accountable for your every day decisions.

"Keep what you have written as a constant reminder, because......
Reflection today motivates your discipline every day, and
Discipline every day maximizes your decisions of yesterday."

--John C. Maxwell

PWO2

Overview

WarmUp Routines: Try a circuit of pullups, air squats, pushups, situps, and/or Superman. However avoid or limit a movement if the day calls for that exercise in the WO (ex: Before a pullup WO, limit WU pullups).

The two main workout strategies are:

As Fast As Possible (AFAP): Complete the prescribed workout in the fastest time you can.

As Many Rounds As Possible (AMRAP): Complete as many rounds as you can within the prescribed time period.

Also record the load (weight) of KBs used for each movement. For some movements, heavier KBs are reasonable (Ex: Deadlift, SDLHP Sumo deadlift high pulls)

Pullups can be substituted with 2Xs Inverted Rows. (1 pullup = 2 IRs)

KB Snatches can be substituted with Swings or C&P( clean and press)
