rules of engagement: no broken sets permitted
No collars? No problem! Four wraps of 550 cord backed up with a square knot and secured with one wrap of packing tape. Frustration breeds creativity.

ReplyDeleteThe rules of engagement in any war will likely influence strategy and surely determine the pace with which we experience success. Is there a moral approach to victory? Can the human drive to conquer and proliferate be legislated by disconnected concepts of fairness? Are we contradicting the laws of nature or rewriting the constitution that nature has bestowed upon our current capabilities? Man is, in fact, no match for nature, even human nature. Although attractive in simulating the current military and political zeitgeist, rules of engagement may only serve as a novelty when pursuing new frontiers of human performance. Why stifle unbridled effort? Until we revolt against personal and public limitations chains, lock, and key will continue to be standard issue.
Lessons learned: The convoluted counting technique resulted in doing four reps for most of the efforts. It was caught half way through and corrected. Most of the rest occurred between d-lift and pull ups. The strict pull up was utilized until it was necessary to kip. The different ingredients created a relatively determined pace and schedule. Adding the vest and rules of engagement prevented a deleterious amount of d-lifts, one that would've invariably been incapacitating. It is imperative to find the delicate balance between destruction and longevity.
