One arm snatch with kettlebell from Mike Mahler's Aggressive Strength.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For the first time in 4? months, I worked out:
\n6x reps 90 lbs benchpress
\n5x reps One-Arm Kettlebell swing to Shoulder Press
\n6 min on treadmill at full incline, alternating run\/walk.
\n6 Burpees<\/a>
\n10 min on treadmill at full incline, alternating run\/walk<\/p>\n

I keep thinking about how much I want to train in Jiu-Jitsu, but running (and walking!) on the treadmill I realized how much I want to die and didn’t want to continue. I have so much respect for people who workout consistently, but I keep thinking that they are different than me.<\/p>\n

“Oh, people like that are just super dedicated. They aren’t mere mortals like me.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But is that really true? Can it be that everyone else that exercises regularly is a super dedicated person? There has to be people like me with weak self control<\/strong> that were able to break through and begin working out consistently<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
