I had a great weekend out in Salt Lake City at the Gym Jones Level II certification seminar. A great group of instructors, coaches, and athletes sharing knowledge, making connections, and absolutely brutal workout sessions each day. If you’ve tried any of our workout plans you will see that they are largely based off Gym Jones fundamental training standards and guidelines, with a mix of strongman sprinkled in for good measure.

One the standards on the path to full certification as a Gym Jones Instructor is the 2000 meter row under 7:00 mins. Unfortunately, I missed the standard this weekend with a 7:02 min row time. I have to admit I’m a little bummed and angry with my performance but I treat it as a baseline for adjust my programming over the next few months. I treat failures as a guidelines in my training, not a life ending day in the gym. I’ll just base all pace times off my 7:02 min 2000 meter row time, and move forward to reaching my goals.

If you’re interested in taking your training up to a new level, and getting introduced into a new fitness culture. Check out our training plans or the Gym Jones website for what they are offering.

Gym Jones named workout the “Jonestown Crawl”.

It three rounds for time of 10 deadlifts at 115% of your body weight and 25 box jumps. The only difference for men and women is the box jump height. The deadlifts are based of body weight so if your deadlift 1rm is close to your body weight this is going to be a rough workout.

All progress is good progress. Did you only lose one pound this week, or only add one pound to a 1rm? Maybe you didn’t make any progress this week. Don’t get wrapped around the axle about, because not everyday is going to be a victory in the gym. That’s the ugly truth about your fitness journey. There are going to be days that your workout just fucking sucks, or you gain few pounds back from not eating on your meal plan, or you just can’t get your shit together. You just need to put your head down, push through that shit dat, week, or month, and keep working your ass off. Change will come if you keep going. It may take a year, but one day you will standing in front of the mirror flexing while you admire that sexy naked body you built. “Make Our Tribe Stronger”

Life

People add too much self induced stress to their lives by worry about unimportant things. Take a step back, reevaluate what is important, and remove the things that don't bring value to your life.
