2:41, 2:50, 3:10 The special activities branch of 324 took on this perilous journey while most mortals snuggled their favorite pillow in the safety trap of comfort. The routine was straight forward, coupling two fundamental movements for a manageable three round trio with enough rest to console a burned village. The atmosphere was tense but intentions clear. Bravery ensconced self-preservation, as it should for any democracy-loving freedom fighter. Unfortunately for innocent bystanders, the synchros and servos were misaligned, canceling the standard precision execution of the task. A monkey can carpet bomb but only the most highly trained and motivated machines of war can accomplish missions with few or no civilian casualties. Consistency is the trademark of any professional. A high pressure line leakage prevented a sufficient filling in the power bellows, unable to oxygenate the entire system for rapid turnover and fluent force flow. Prospects for victory were dismal at best, alluding to the sinister idea of a suicide mission. A mutiny would've been the conventional response, to quit and continue living a life of moral despair but the lessons learned in training, on missions, or in the safety of shelter will invariably cross contaminate all aspects of life. The moral indignation suffered from unsuccessfully accomplishing predetermined expectations will be stored as petrified anger, fueling an atypical and uncommon demand for valor and excellence. Suspicions continue to contaminate the public perception. The weary walk a lonely road. An impersonal universe echoes sentiments of pessimistic misery and hopeless capability. Evolution, for the first time in history, may be an antiquated ally. Mediocrity is the new epidemic and it's hypnotic powers may be our undoing.
Awesome programming! Learning to swim in deeper waters following you guys. Have exceeded some PRs ...hefting poundages never considered before... -Thanks-
Embrace the evolution of progress and stand firmly on your own two feet. PRs are nothing more than rungs in the ladder that leads to the top. Stop at each rung, take a breath, and then keep going. Rest when you die.
Good question. 155 was the previous "heaviest" weight used in a similar scheme. It felt good but circumstances were different so deciding to raise the bar with 165 was probably premature. There is a balance between managing multiple reps and going heavy. 165 gets into the gray area were moving the reps is almost too taxing to pair it with another movement. This is the primary reason why the thruster is easily single movement programable. I'm still astounded at how troublesome this was. I'm not sure how you balanced it out or broke your sets or where you had trouble but I would bet that breaking the reps in 2s and 1s would be less taxing and more efficient. It might even balance the times better. I plan on doing this again under more ideal performance based circumstances.

ReplyDeleteWow! I blew a gasket on round two and it was downhill from there...

What was your basis for selecting 165lbs? Did you go with % 1RM, gut instinct or a combination of the two?
Keep up the great work.
