Pull-ups small band
Squats large block
Iron cross (long as possible)
Thruster 50 log
Hanging leg raise
Push-ups
All to fail, 4 sets.
Have you ever had that day when after you work out, you feel like a baloon about to pop and like it? That was this morning. I finished up my sets, killing the pushups with 34,28,16,12 reps in each pass, and felt like I should look like this:
(keep all sharp objects away from this guy!)
And while looking at myself in the mirror before my shower, I think I perceptually did. It was fun to hold poses and not gag.This experience has been a confidence booster for sure, and with my anniversary dinner with the wifey tomorrow, I'm excited to paint the town red and spend some quality time with just her and I.
On the exercise side of things, I still have much work to do. My iron crosses were pathetic, though increased over the last time I've done them. I didn't see the need to do only 3 or 4 pullups using the small band, so I used the large band and did 13, 8, 6, 2 with each set as failure. Increasing the band allowed me to feel more accomplished. Also, I did my squats with the log, because I didn't want to drag multiple items to the playground. Multitask at 6 am? No thank you.
There is still so much work to be done.If I'm to hit my targets, I still have to push the limits with each day that passes. I enjoy being able to set the bar just above my reach and try like hell to get to it. It has helped me to redefine failure. That word used to scare me, now it defines me. Failure was that thing that made me not try. Now I challenge it and tell it to catch me, because I'm not slowing down.
I have adapted this new mentality into my business and we have never seen this type of success before. In my travels to VA, my client asked me about my goals for this election cycle. I told him I wanted to use this cycle to build my empire and establish my business name as the EPICENTER of all political work. He proceeded to tell me that this type of work is like a one night stand, you get your fill in the short amount of time you have, and then they go away, never to call you again. I quickly responded, that's OK, being emperor for a day is much more significant than watching the opportunity pass you by. Everyone remembers Caesar and Nero, no one remembers the people who wished they were. I may not get all the business, but the business I get will remember me and my company and will talk about us for years to come.
I left the room silent. I think I scared the other vendors. Most had 15-20 years of experience and were content with their share. I wanted more; I wanted theirs. And I'm willing to work to get it... I'm not too sure they are.
This is my year. Its the year I've taken control, the year I'll be an emperor. Yes, this year, I'll be an emperor, and next year I'll be a Spartan...
BOOM!
