“No, I don’t like work. I had rather laze about and think of all the fine things that can be done. I don’t like work – no man does – but I like what is in the work – the chance to find yourself. Your own reality – for yourself, not for others – what no other man can ever know.”–Marlow Heart of Darkness

“Workout 16.2”
Beginning on a 4-minute clock, complete as many reps as possible of:
25 x Toes-to-Bars
50 x Double-unders
15 x Squat Cleans (135/85)

If completed before 4 minutes, add 4 minutes to the clock and proceed to:
25 x Toes-to-Bars
50 x Double-unders
13 x Squat Cleans (185/115)

If completed before 8 minutes, add 4 minutes to the clock and proceed to:
25 x Toes-to-Bars
50 x Double-unders
11 x Squat Cleans (225/145)

If completed before 12 minutes, add 4 minutes to the clock and proceed to:

9 x Squat Cleans (275/175)

If completed before 16 minutes, add 4 minutes to the clock and proceed to:
25 x Toes-to-Bars
50 x Double-unders
7 x Squat Cleans (315/205)

Stop at 20 minutes.

Notes: This workout begins with the athlete standing under the pull-up bar. At the call of “3, 2, 1 … go,” the athlete will have 4 minutes to perform 25 toes-to-bars, followed by 50 double-unders, and then 15 squat cleans. If all 90 repetitions are not completed by 4 minutes the athlete’s workout is over, and they will stop and record their score.

If all 90 repetitions are completed within the 4-minute window the athlete will earn an additional 4 minutes to perform another 25 toes-to-bars, 50 double-unders, and 13 squat cleans, this time at a heavier weight. At each round, the weight of the clean will increase while the number of reps of the clean will decrease. Once a round is completed, the athlete may immediately begin their next round. They do not need to wait for the 4-minute round to end before moving on to the next round. This pattern of earning additional time will continue for up to 20 minutes, as long as a full round is completed before the next cutoff.

IMG_3716“There are no untraceable thoughts. Thoughts get locked in our physiological system. Thoughts stop sleeping, affect the veins and make one’s heart beat harder. Trouble that is not blocked by the resisting will and courage of behavior, terrible thoughts, fears, doubts – it all leads to sickness, the body revolts, gets poisoned and as a result it breaks apart. It’s not a mystic, it’s a science. It is based on the famous saying by Sechenov – there is no difference between action and imagining the action from the prospective of neurological reactions.”
–Yuri Vlason, Soviet Weightlifter
