MOTIVATION

SAT. AUG. 25TH @ STEEL CITY CROSSFIT www.steelcitycrossfit.com

Log bar Cleans 45 lbs. (empty bar), 135, 165, 185x 5
(Rectagular 7' Olympic bar with hammer grip handles like a strongman log. Different/harder than a real log because you can't roll it up or use the log against your forearms in the clean. BUT!! One thing I preach and practice in my training is to train for something with harder conditions than the actual so when you do it the actual way, you'll be better and easier. )

Log Bar Curls (closer grip handles)
45, 95, 115, 135 x 5
155 x 2 x 5

Light Stone Carry 4 trips across the gym.
(They were fixing the fountain so I grabbed a stone from that and took it for a run! Got a few crazy looks for that! lol)

Bottom Position Bench Press 135, 225, 275, 315 x 5

Knee Raises 1 x max reps (55)

!GOOD! day. I like training at Crossfit. More serious and focused without distractions. Good atmosphere to train that way. This is something I have been thinking is very important although I never really paid much attention to Sports Psychology part of training because I've always been pretty self motivated.

But since DOHERTY'S GYM in Australia where I trained www.dohertysgym.com I've been thinking more about that because that was such a motivational powerhouse!
If we are not making better people by working out at the gym in and out of the gym in life then we really aren't in my opinion.
"When we can no longer train that will make you like a rock inside too."
(A quote I heard that I really like and is true that no one talks much about any more. But if you've trained long enough especially "Back in tha' day" it was just a known thing. )

Without the mental/emotional part getting built up too then they just LOOK better.
This is something I've wanted to talk about for a while.
