Saturday Night Blowout

When we accept and decide to work with the idea that the separation between strength and cardio training is a completely synthetic and man made distinction, all the rules in the gym change.  Strategies, goals and our very priorities must change. In a Darwinian world a five hundred pound leg press doesn't do you a shot glass of good if it's not paired with your ability to perform over time. 

And this is the world one of our participants began to see last

 night. When it becomes unrealistic to achieve your goal in short order, you have to make a  plan and set your interim goals accordingly. Way points in the road to achievement. And in the end, your goal setting and, even more, your dedication to those goals determines the level of that achievement. Great job Nathan. That distinct sensation of feeling like a lump of kneaded dough goes away after the first couple.

Beast down, on to Hellion.  When you've performed almost four minutes straight each of lunging, squatting, swinging and otherwise exploding through space with your whole body, where Mike gets the ability to motivate as many jumps with as much power as he does is nothing short of astounding. What you perform on a weekly basis is the payoff and should be the aspiration of anyone committed to a regular fitness and performance program. Great stuff.

Nathan picked himself up a few new skills out in court 3.  Coming into it with as much weight lifted over time as he did, it didn't seem to matter because he,

without being told really, found the first rule of Saturday Night: Just keep moving. Awesome job. 

I can't wait for next week.
