Im a Bulletproof Tiger

Attitude: Can be a good thing....

How do you approach your crossfit WOD. Do you half ass it, game it, over-strategize it. Do you take a long break in between sets hoping to catch your breath, thinking about your next set of 5. Do you approach it lazily and just go through the motions...

Or do you get pisssedddddd. Rip that bar off the ground like its trying to attack your loved ones. Run like a pack of zombies are after you. Keep going till you taste the bile in the back of your throat. keep pushing till you collapse on the floor happy and exhausted.
How you approach a workout is similar to how you approach life. Give it all you got, don't settle for 50% don't ever ever ever utter the word  CANT, don't ever settle. Just pick the damm bar up, NO an extra 5 seconds isn't going to help, just keep moving. Life is meant to be conquered and lived, and you need to approach it VICTORIOUS like a king, or queen. Take it, and make it yours. never ever ever quit.
Find something that pumps you up, gets your blood pumping, Focus on it let it build, use that raw emotion to carry you through the WOD, and  Life. get pissed, get angry, get happy, whatever. just approach it with emotion and never back down.

Here's some kick ass music , the title pretty much sums up what im trying to say.

My Reflection on the Week

Ok so now that Ive seen it on paper, WHAT now

1- Tighten the F#$#king diet up, stop caving in like a wimp every time someone waves a brownie in my face
2- Some more calories from Good food, post WOD. Also I don't think I was hydrating enough. More Water.
3- Workout Volume is ok, going to Add more Long Metcons and a bit more cardio. I will use Active Rest days, Light row, or easy run to fill the days when my body feels like it went through the meat grinder
4-Need to set specific training goals. ( So here we go )
--Run at least two 5k's this year Try to get 22 minutes
--Win Maine Fitness games
--550 lb deadlift- 400 lb squat--200lb shoulder press
--sub 4 fran

5-Remember that it all about having fun.

Well let me know what you guys though about my week. I thought it would be an interesting way to see what the typical week of an average crossfitter was. Drop me a comment and stuff. See you all out there. GET SOME
