9:00 This is undoubtedly a push up evolution. Double unders only serve as a transitional obstacle. After tooling with various paces it was determined that this should be a balls out effort in order to gage push up progress, noting any broken sets and overcoming accordingly. 9:12 Sit ups and KTEs can only be performed so fast. This is a test of fatigue and fortitude. Those who disparage the sit up and prefer crunches and Lamaze contractions have missed the sinking boat. If you are training for a six pack then go see a therapist. The point of the sit up is to mimic getting up as fast as possible, especially after being knocked down. This is why the strict military standard of attaching hands to shoulders is nonsense and does more of a disservice than anything else. Partitioning the reps, as opposed to doing 150 straight, permits the deployment of fast twitch muscle fibers, cultivating an explosive approach as opposed to doing slow reps like body builders do in order to "feel" the burn. 21:00 Invariably the slowest mile ever trekked. There was one patch that permitted a muted jog but it was pointless as is any semblance of paradigmatic standard or attempt at smashing a square peg in a round hole. Austere training is too far removed from the mainstream of linear thought and observation. As Westerners, we can't help ourselves when given the chance to run numbers or exploit nominal data so as to make sense of expression. In so doing, we lose something in the translation. In our addiction to measurable, repeatable, and observable data we limit the opportunity to freelance and explore the margins of the scientific establishment. The mantra of austere training is that no two workouts are ever the same. In fact, the only constant is change. The precision of the pace is for the laboratory whereas nature requires instinct and adaptation. Furthermore, the clinical approach to training supports and encourages the final product by any means necessary. This is important but not in austere training, unless racing. In other words, we run a mile for the time, missing everything beneath our feet. We start only to finish, not to embrace the mission, journey, or experience. To finish an incredible journey only to have the experience squashed by a clock in the end is not the right approach to austere training. Time doesn't mean a hill of beans when determining self-worth or external validation. See a therapist if your self-esteem is based on performance. Otherwise, grab a blow torch and fix it. Training for real life through simulation is second at best compared to training for real life by training for real life. How to measure progress? If 100% effort is fired out of the mortar tube every time then there is nothing more to do.
8:41- Push ups definitely dictated the speed of this workout. I was breaking down into sets of 5 by the 3th round and sets of 3 by the 6th. 9:01- KTEs felt like I was lifting cement stumps. Hello hip flexors! As I climbed rounds the KTEs got harder (as expected), but the sit ups felt easier and I utilized less rest in rounds 6-10. 9:34- Subbed 20lb vest, no sand.
