Friday Thoughts 78
Welcome to this week’s edition of Friday Thoughts. Last week I managed to delete the blog draft when I went to click publish, hopefully I won’t do that again. Enjoy!
Big A 50k
Good luck to all the GAINERS taking on the Big A 50k course tomorrow. Whether you’re taking on one, two or three laps, it’s sure to be a fun and tough day moving up, over and around Mount Aggamenticus. Enjoy!
Overrated
I’m all about moving more, and appreciate when people make things more difficult just for the sake of the challenge. This however, just seems superfluous.
And don’t get me wrong -I love rucking, I think it’s great. It’s a nice way to get some additional loading on your skeleton and get some more moving through walking or hiking. If you want to throw a backpack or weight vest on and take a walk - I’m all for it. This however, seems over the top. Mostly because I have a hard time with the efficiency justification. Like, if you want to get a better workout in while having to mow your lawn, get a push mower. If you want to get it done faster, get a ride-on tractor (imagine wearing the weight vest on one of those).
203 Pound Hold
Have I mentioned my superfluous 203 pound kettlebell? Trying to hold this 203 pound monster was nearly impossible. I barely held on for a few seconds.
Master your Movement
672 Pounds
I’ve watched nearly all of the heavy squat videos on the internet and I don’t know if I’ve ever seen this much look that smooth. Wow!
80 Year Old Sprint Division
This is some incredible movement and reminds me of the old Russian proverb; once you stop jumping, you start dying.
Thanks for reading, see you next time.
