    Consider the Golgi tendon, i.e. the built in safety mechanism that prevents us from hurting ourselves. Now consider a carefully constructed recipe for creating a wormhole or way to bypass the arial bombardment of obstacles normally encountered on a suicide mission. Every engineering marvel or successful defiance of conventional expectations is buttressed by precision geometry. Take Fat Man and Little Boy for example. Without precise calculations the probability of success would've been dismal at best. The weapons design you see before you is not only many generations away from discovery but the philosophical implications could shake the very foundation upon which mediocrity rests. The ability to apply sufficient mental fortitude to a progressively uncomfortable task in order to arrive at the next, otherwise unattainable level, has been hitherto the mainstay of all mad scientists. The objective of this design was to extract more yield out of a relatively predictable performance (when considering the standard factors, i.e. time, reps, skill etc.). The question that truly beckons an answer from its victims is how far are you willing to go? If you had the formula for moving into the nebulous state of volition could you muster the rare fortitude to overcome the space/time continuum?
    Surmounting each obstacle provides enough fuel to get within sight of the next level. As relief approaches the demands increase and hope wanes. The prospects of survival increase with each injection of determination and defiance of the putrid pain that so often convinces us to quit.
    Preconceived levels of satisfaction or accomplishment mean nothing in the measurement of performance, especially if the task has never been attempted. The only way to attack this leviathan and others is at the world's end, with no turning around. With each stage proffering a restful reward the question still remains. How far are you willing to go?

    In the onslaught of recurrently ascending repetitions and inversely adjusted rest, past models outlining mental tenacity are obsolete. Even the wildly intellectual are left to wonder in the echoing chamber of depleted brainpower. Your fortitude factor is on display in IMAX. Underestimate the mind’s power to capitulate at the bounding feet of a multiplication table and find your soul resting peacefully within the realm of mediocrity. Advance beyond the nausea of motion sickness and rummage in confines of a discomforting continuum, as here lays the surreptitious means to overt success.

    The double under is a technical movement, calling on coordination, endurance, and focus. Most workouts feature DUs with a rep scheme discounting endurance (i.e. the ability to perform the movement repetitively in succession). Those who’ve attempted a three or five minute DU test can attest to the difference between doing 25 reps amidst a four round workout and the compounding effect of continued replication in mass quantity. Aptitude for the latter is far more demanding. Efficiency becomes a major player, twirling the rope like an amateur rodeo clown produces quick turn over and rapid accumulation of repetitions, but has limited sustained potential. Isolating the wrists to propel the rope is the VIP ticket, a skill compelling practice.

    set 100 completed

    Failed to complete 110 in next 3 min.

    This was completely harder than what i could have ever imagined. True fatigue set in after min 10. I feel this was due to my strategy. Sets 5-50 came somewhat easy, completing with all unbroken sets. However, these efforts caught up with me in sets 60-100. Even with the extra minute per set, it felt as if the last 3 sets were done without rest over the last 6 min with efforts only reaching 15 or so reps at a time. Even with a 3rd minute added per set at 110, I was left with complete failure with inability to support my own body.

  6. This tempo truly dissected the double under for its value and insidious ability to exact a lasting toll, especially if you could hang on and push just a little farther. My body has never experienced such extreme peripheral damage. The fall out lasted a long three days. I'm left intrigued and wonder how much farther I could go if done again.

    thanks for the recent tips on double unders. i've gotten exponentially better in recent weeks / months from paying attention to your summary and description of the movement regarding speed, rhythm, technique, and focus. from what i can tell, everything a person would ever need to know about du is right here:
    "Isolating the wrists to propel the rope is the VIP ticket, a skill compelling practice."
    thanks turbo

  9. Just did this at lunch today...

    140 completed.

    I did not attempt any of the next set (150) which in retrospect I should have, but at the time I decided it was best to stop. 1175 total DBUs.

    Interesting workout. Would the plan be to go to e4mom if you reach 160? Also it would seem there is a rep scheme of DBUs per minute which might be sustainable for a significantly longer amount of time. Probably somewhere in the 30-40 range for me right now and varies for others. With that in mind, a workout that called for increasing reps and time ladders like this one, but set up such that you never break that average DBU/min threshold might be an interesting test.

    Thanks for the inspiration.

  10. Ensure that also which you are checking out who should be giving you your gay sizegenetics. Component to the thing having gay sizegenetics is you just have picked that lifestyle to get reason, when you're going to relax and uncover an amazing sizegenetics you just want to do it with someone this is pretty with the eyes. Generally, when you start looking online for male gay masseuse, you could be willing to look at their photos online and find the one that can be going to work the optimal for you. Decide upon a couple though so you simply aren't disappointed if ever the one you ought to originally wanted isn't available, they can be booked or not work the day basically are looking for, so having options is always good.
