"As an athlete its always important to develop and demonstrate mental toughness. Its equally important to develop mental flexibility. Regardless of the activity, there always comes a time in training when you feel yourself sinking in the metaphorical quicksand. Being able to edure that, think fluidly and reverse the performance momentum of the situation is everything. Easy workouts will never provide the practice for this. Seek out workouts that will take you to those dark places."~ My coach Ken Blackburn
Our workouts at Iron Sport are tough, but so what! Get tougher! If it were easy than it wouldnt be worth doing. Dont allow yourself to get caught in the fatigue mindset, "Ill go tomorrow" "Im to tire".... Suck it up, its 20-30 minutes of intense practice, a small price to pay, the benefits you will recieve are beyond the scale. When we sit, we die! Get up, lift some heavy shit, sweat, bitch and groan and be done with it. Leave feeling proud you did something good for yourself!
JM/WU x 10min
Using Mike Mahler program. Do one rep, rest ten seconds and do another. This allows for a heavier weight to be used.
KB Military Press 20kg- 6x1 L/R
BB Back Squat 145lb 6x1
BB Dead Lift 135 x1 185 x 1 175 6x1
Pull Up 6x1-These were supposed to be weighted but my pull ups are a continued source of frustration for me so I went with no weight. Something isnt firing in my back and prevents me from getting my chest to the bar. I need to get back to work on the drill coach Carney gave me.
Bench Press 95x1 90x1 85x1 80x1 75x2
OAJLC 16kg 1min L/1 min R x 3 no rest 8 second count.
