“Success is not owned. It’s leased. And rent is due every day.” – J.J. Watt
Having a “chip on your shoulder” is known as an edge. As if the athlete has more to prove given his or her circumstances than the next one. But as soon as success is reached that edge… it disappears.
We don’t own success. We have to work for it every day. If we cross a thousand finish lines, let’s establish a thousand more. Not for any other reason than the unstoppable fiery purpose behind… To find the next best version of ourselves.
Rent’s due.
GENERAL
Going a little bit longer today on this 5 round triplet workout
Looking for “Road Trip” to take around 20-25 minutes to complete (1 Round Every 4-5 Minutes)
KETTLEBELL SWINGS
Let’s go a little bit heavier with the kettlebell swing today
This should be a weight that you can complete within 2 sets each round
JUMP ROPE
Choose a variation on the rope that allows you to complete the allotted reps in under 1 minute
RUN
If unable to run, complete one of the following:
28/20 Calorie Assault Bike
500/400 Meter Row
STRATEGY
Try to bite off big chunks on the double unders and kettlebell swings, as that is the only place you’d stop moving
If you are comfortable with going unbroken on each of these stations, think about bringing up the run pace a little bit
As far as overall round pacing, think of approaching the 5 rounds as follows:
Rounds 1-2: Put a regulator on yourself by coming out slower than you want to – allowing you to maintain speed later on
Rounds 3-4: These are the rounds we want to hold onto our round splits from the first 2 rounds or even slightly improve upon them
Round 5: Finish strong, looking to make this your best round of all 5
