I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.  Whether it’s training for sport, strength, or competitive pie baking; you must attack your weaknesses if you hope to improve and perform at your peak.

I love bodyweight training.  However, I’m not afraid to say that I can improve in that area.  My pullups, dips, pushups, jumping ability, must get better.

Today I attacked bodyweight training like a madman.

To kick it up a notch I added some weight to a couple of my all time bodyweight favorites.

Get Strong(er) Wk 3 – Day 1

1 – Hang Clean + Press 5×3

2a – Weighted Chins 5xsubmax

2b – Weighted Dips 5xsubmax

Conditioning (5rds for time)

1 – Thruster 10

2 – Thick Rope Slams 20

3 – Box Jump 10

4 – Sledge Swings 10 L/R

Not bad but not perfect either.  I’m determined to improve my dips and chins.

The conditioning times was good but nothing spectacular.  I pride myself on my level of conditioning and there is definitely room for improvement there.

So many are afraid to discard a movement b/c “they don’t like” aka “I’m weak at it.”

That is the wrong attitude to have.  Mindset is everything when it comes to training.

If you think you’re just going to suck and never improve, YOU WON’T.  If you set your mind to improve and push through those TEMPORARY mental and physical road blocks, YOU WILL improve.

ATTACK YOUR TRAINING WEAKNESSES!
