Evan: Yeah they're tough but you just gotta keep at it and it’ll get better each time.
Jacob: Yeah you’re probably right but I still hate doing them.
Tim: Yeah Jake you just gotta squat. That’s the only way you’re going to get better at this stuff. It all adds up.
Jacob: Whatever let’s just work out.
Question 1: Who has the wrong attitude here?
Question 2: Who has the worst front squat?
Answer… I think we all know on this one. The lifts don’t lie.
Front Squat 3-3-3-3-3
Evan: 135-155-185-225-250
Tim: 135-155-190-199-175
Jacob: 135-155-179-199(PR) Didn’t finish last set.
Attitude often precedes performance and my attitude definitely has hindered my lifts. So don’t make the mistake of viewing you WOD as opportunities to exploit weakness, but rather as an opportunity to improve. Whatever it takes stay positive, and good things usually follow. Well, with a little hard work that is. Now when I’m down I think of my spirit animal and his name is Little Bear and he looks a lot like this.
3 Rounds for time of:
7 Deadlifts 135lbs
7 Hang Squat Cleans 135lbs
7 Push Jerks
400m Run
Jacob: 8:20?
Evan: 8:30?
Not quite the time we were shooting for but not bad for a post lift WOD and it was a breezy 37 degrees on the streets this afternoon, but oh well.
Next time!
