This was the first real workout of the New Year for YHC. Figured it would be a good idea to kick shit up a notch.

Warmup:

SSH – Not a few but not a lot

Arm circles forward and reverse

Overhead claps

Seal claps

The Thang:

Real simple and real brutal, a Jacobs Ladder 11 and 1. Start with 11 Merkins and 1 Squat. Travel was lunge walk form merkins to squats and Bernie Sanders back.

This was literally it until Mary. It took a long time and it sucked.

Mary:

Extended Mary, included:

Flutters

LBC

WWII

Plank Ring of Fire

Homer to Marge

Prom Nights

CoT:

Announcements:

• The Wolf
• GoRuck Light simulation
• Gambler

BoM: Bright Idea mentioned New Year’s Resolutions at the start of the workout. That got YHC to thinking. I don’t like those things. They are temporary ideas that die on the vine like a grape in December (or whenever the f*uck a grape would die on the vine). They make it a few weeks, maybe a month, then they fade. They fade like motivation fades. It brings me back to something I’ve mentioned before at CoT, the words of David Goggins. To paraphrase, motivation is bullshit. It comes and goes. Don’t be motivated, be driven. A driven Mother F*cker will run through walls. Swords are made by shoving them in fire and beating the shit out of them. Be a sword. Be driven.
