Gym Experience

Me, sitting under a tree after doing the weekend experience.

These experiences, especially in the summertime are my favorite. There is something spiritual about hanging out on a track on a sunday afternoon. It's so reverent at a track; if you haven't been consistently doing these track experiences then I urge you to try and get into them. These experiences will change you, especially if you work hard on the meditative thought/spiritual component of them.

If you have kids, then take them to the track with you. A track is a great place for a family to hang out. I usually take my kids and their bikes and they ride around the track while I'm performing the track experience. Afterwards we just hang out, and due to me being lifted from the endorphins that the exercise gave way to, I can live in the moment more fully with them in which my children then enhance my spiritual work because they are so young, innocent, and beautiful.

  For those of us that have children we should use our children to help us with motivation to do well with our addiction. We should have the idea in our mind that in order for our children to do good in this life then we must do good in this life. It's starts with us spending time with them while participating in healthy activities. If they see us being healthy, energetic, and happy, then they will most definitely grow up being healthy, energetic and happy-and will escape the addiction disease, then leading a happy fulfilling life, free from the grips of addiction.

Make it Happen  

CLEAR

A. 3 Minute Jog (60%): get lost in meditative thought and prayer.       no rest going into BB. 2 fast rounds of: 10 Wall Balls + 10 Burpees       no rest going into CC. 3 Minute Jog (75%): Get lost in further meditative thought and prayer; start visualizing and preparing for the STRONG & BALANCE.

STRONG

A. 5 Sets of:1 Front Squat; rest as neededNOTE: in 5 sets build to a heavy front squat. Log what you build to. Compare to last week; be heavier than last week...B. 4 Sets of:Squat Snatch 2.2.2 (rest 10 seconds in between each 2 reps & then rest 2 minutes)NOTE: Work on being fast under the bar. If you can't catch it in the bottom then do a power snatch and then work on going into the OHS. So you do 2 reps, rest 10, 2 reps, rest 10, 2 reps, rest 2 minutes X 4. Look to be better than last week at catching it in the bottom and even on loading (even though last week was from the hang)C. Back Squat:Set 1 - 5 Reps @ 65-70%Set 2-3 Reps @ 75-80%Set 3- 1 Rep @  85-90%       rest  as neededBALANCEEvery 2 minutes for 10 minutes (5 sets) perform:

4 Back Squat (low bar) @ 85% of your 1RM

NOTE: Similar to last week, only one rep shorter and 5 percentage points higher. Base this off of your 1RM. Log how you do..
