Bodyweight Brutality and a Challenge
One of the biggest problem areas I see with young athletes and adults alike is a lack of strength with bodyweight movements.
This shouldn’t be surprising actually, since laziness and weakness is engineered into nearly every single piece of “fitness” equipment today. Lay here, sit here, stand here. What ever happened to using the ultimate machine, your body?
I see athletes and adults that can’t do 10 proper pushups and even a single pullup. It drives me insane.
You simply cannot expect to perform at your best if you are not able to move and control your body in space effectively whether you’re a competitive athlete or just a weekend warrior.
If you really want to get strong practice your pushups, pullups, squats, and lunges. A good barometer of where you are on the bodyweight strength meter is being able to perform at least 25 pushups, 5-10 pullups, 50 squats, and 50 lunges. If you can’t hit these numbers, get to crankin’!
My session today finished with a brutal bodyweight challenge. Check it out below.
Get Strong(er) Wk 3 – Day 3
1 – Hang Snatch 5×4
2 – Bench Press 5×4
3a – Thick Rope Recline Rows 100 reps
3b – Pushups 100 reps
Here is the challenge.
Perform 100 reps each of the rows and pushups in as few sets as possible and let me know your results.
Today I finished in 6 rounds.
I need to be stronger than that.
I’m determined to improve.
Crush the bodyweight movements and you’ll be crazy strong, pack on slabs of rugged muscle, and increase your on field/court performance no matter what sport you choose.
Keep killin’ it out there.
Now is the time…Crush It, Book Review
I just finished reading Gary Vaynerchuk’s book Crush It. It is without a doubt one of the best and most inspirational books I’ve ever read.
The book is all about building your personal brand and using the internet and social media to do it. However, it goes far beyond just that and if you’re an entrepreneur you owe to your self to read and study what Gary has to say.
For those of you who don’t know who Gary is, click the link above to find out a little bit more about him. I don’t want to waste your time telling you his bio because for me that was one of the best parts of the book. Seeing how he took his family’s business to unbelievable heights then capitalizing on his passion to develop a multi-million dollar business is extremely inspirational.
No matter what your passion is you can apply the lessons you’ll learn in Crush It to expand, capitalize, and dominate your passion.
The lessons are simple:
Love your family.
Work superhard.
Live your passion.
One of my biggest problems that has been keeping me from capitalizing on my passion (you all know what that is by now) has been doubt and fear. Well, reading this book has completely changed my mindset. I don’t doubt I can start my own warehouse gym business and while it’s scary (as it should be), I’m no longer afraid to push as hard as I can toward my goals.
The inspiration that pours out of this book, is unbelievably contagious. I know this is going to be hard and that I’m going to have to hustle harder than ever to succeed. But hey, this is what I want and I’m going to do everything I can to reach my goals and live my passion.
Even more so than before I’m ready to….
