Pleased with todays training, i was feeling beat up and tired after the weekend before i started the met-con but as soon as the buzzer started i felt fresh.

Squats felt good could maybe have pushed for another rep or two but i didn't have a spotter so called it at 15.

Ring dips have been somewhat of a weakness for me so to get 3 rounds over 10 is great.

My aim during the conditioning was to go unbroken on everything apart from the pull ups as i knew my grip would give up on them. I started the power cleans touch and go for the first two sets then went to singles ditching from the rack position to save my grip. The first two rounds of pull ups were unbroken then broke in to 5, 3, 2 and 5,1,1,1,1,1 for the last set. All the kettle bell swings were unbroken, i used to struggle with kbs in the past but it was all mental; by setting small goals instead of looking at the big picture they become a hell of a lot easier. All double unders unbroken.

Below is a great article on breaking the mental barrier from the 2nd fittest man in the world Josh Bridges.
