Weekend Posts (7.6.13 ARWOD + 7.7.13 MWOD)

Saturday (7.6.13)- Recovery

Sunday (7.7.13)– Mental Work

A very powerful idea is presented in this video: that the elements which comprise our bodies are the very same elements from which this universe and the galaxies were spawned. Amid the vastness and entropy of the universe, there is a level of intimacy and connectivity among all things that exist.

6.27.13 SWOD

Warmup

Dynamic

  • EMOM for 8 minutes (EMOM = Every Minute On the Minute)
    • 3 Explosive Box Squats @ ~50-60% Back Squat 1RM

Volume (Rest periods should be 60-90 seconds b/t supersets)

Third week of this bodybuilding micro-cycle– you should be feeling both hot and big at this point. As Aristotle once said, “If you got it, flaunt it homie.” Ipso facto (that’s Latin), don’t let those muscle pythons sit in their cage wasting away. Head directly to the beach after this workout and proceed to BARK&FLEX at as many randos as possible. 

Motivation

  • A montage of Arnold flexing in front of thousands of screaming fans and training with the Terminator theme playing in the background? SIGN ME UP.

  • This is quite possibly one of the most inspirational speech/video montage combinations I’ve ever seen. I encourage you to ruminate on the ideas presented in this speech and apply them to your own thinking. Oftentimes, we proceed through life with our noses down, blindly following directions from arbitrary figures of authority. We should ultimately seek to find our own personal truth and discover what makes us truly happy.

Rest day (physical)

Chill out, max, relax, do nada. Read a book, watch an entertaining television show, go to the zoo, flip off the monkeys. It’s your life; live it the way you want.

MWOD (Mental Workout Of the Day)

This may be the most powerful nine minute combination of words I’ve ever heard in my life. It’s good to stop, slow down, and just observe life for what it is every once in a while. #Swoleosophy
