Discipline and Jocko Willink

Discipline Equals Freedom.....

If you find yourself mentally weak, then you must do things that push you to that threshold.  Do things that are mentally challenging. Do things that are physically challenging.  Practice discipline.  Take it seriously. 

This makes you tough as hell. 

Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9:27 "I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do as it should.  Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I might myself be disqualified."

Athletic training and discipline and other discipline allows us to not only be successful as an athlete, but propels us toward success in the things that matter most in our lives.

Freedom is a gift.  And as we remember those who have fought for our country and still do fight for our country so that we can be free --I will not squander that gift.  Instead, I will live each day with the most opportunity. 

Find your WHY of doing something and become passionate on that WHY.  That will then propel you to then take on the discipline needed to excel at it.

Try this....time yourself in a plank position and see how long you can hold it. Record time. Then set a timer for double that time. But this time visualize yourself mentally accomplishing it. Picture the pain but also picture you overcoming......then with the same timer actually go and do the plank again.....I bet you make it all the way


My best is now 3 minutes.  Next goal is 6 minutes.  I bet I get it.

STARTING OVER

Much has happened, and I find myself starting over in my fitness journey once again. 

Thankfully I have a foundation of strength and conditioning that I can build on.  Nevertheless, I am standing at another starting line looking to the future of goals and discipline. 

My new theme is the mindset of a Warrior.  God spoke that to me in college that I was a warrior.  It always resonated with me. 

So I am taking down the theme of the road to the 2017 games.  Instead, I focus on daily discipline and the core of who I am.  I am putting before me a road to bettering myself holistically. 

I will gather my thoughts, once again, freshly, on here. 

Great words in this video.  GRIT.  Have to suffer for your vision.  Winners love to practice. 

 

HERE AND NOW

5/24 Training

Attempted 3 Rep Max on Split Jerk this AM. 

Everything felt heavy and I didn't feel explosive.  I didn't feel snappy.  I worked up slowly, just doing a rep or two at a time as I increased weight. 

I eventually tried 229lbs.  Did 2 reps, missed the 3rd barely. 

Even though it wasn't successful, I can tell I'm getting stronger.  I'm definitely doing more weight than I did a month ago!  I may try it again later and video. 


PM Workout..............

well missing that last rep pissed me off all day.  So I went back out to the shop and stuck it.  Getting stronger. 

Also worked on muscle up technique.  Especially focusing on the pull.
