Hey kids,

I wanna talk about some serious stuff here.

Breaking records.

If you’re an athlete training for sport, you’re trying to get better everyday.

If you’re not, why even compete?

If you’re not an athlete but love to train, you’ve got to approach this the same as an athlete.

You’re either getting better or you’re getting worse.

You never stay the same.

Everyday is a grind my friends.

A grind to get better.

Maybe just by a inch or sometimes a whole mile. You take steps forward.

The best way I know to be absolutely positive you’re taking steps in the right direction is by breaking records.

When I say records, I mean you’re own personal records.
Who cares what Johnny down the street is doing.  You worry about YOU.

As long as you’re adding weight to the bar, jumping higher, running faster, or getting quicker, that’s all that matters.

What type of progress are YOU making.

Break personal records.

To break personal records you need to creates records.

Challenge yourself – write stuff down – weights uses, times, inches, anything that can be measured and tested.

Write these things down then BEAT all of your recorded numbers.

Keep breaking records and you’ll be a winner.

Now get after it!

Check out this video – it gets me pumped!

I have such a passion for the iron that it doesn’t take much to get me going.  Even if I’m alone…

Do YOU have the passion?

Find YOU’RE passion and  break F*ckin’ records period!

Until next time,

Get Forged Strong!

Nice!

The workout was tough for sure. The vid that you’ll see is of myself. If you guys think that your workouts are boring then try and take  an exercise like this and rep it out for about 100 reps or so. It looks like this

1a) Warm up

2a) 100 curtis p’s

A curtis p is a hang clean to a front lunge on both legs to a push press.  Repeat for 100 reps.  Good Luck!

That’s it! I thought I would experience the workout for myself. I was definitely in for a treat. I was able to get 76 Curtis P’s before Rob told me to shut it down. The training that I traditionally do is geared for reps of 5 for strength. Give me some opinions about the training you guys do out there. Do you train like this? What are some of the benefits of workouts like these? Speak up people!
