Self discovery through Athletics

“A master at the art of living makes no distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion - he hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues with excellence what he is about and leave others to determine whether he is working or playing. He himself always knows, he is doing both. - James Michener (This quote was first found by my brother Jared and I couldn't resist stealing it from him.)

DNF run...had to leave for Sac. Long drive tonight up to Almanor... These workouts are revealing more than just flaws in my physical life...the mental side is getting worked on too.

That last set was an ass kicker. Couldn't hold back on the run- went balls to the wall.

World-Class Strength, Fitness and DIet

The mind is primary

Train with a purpose

Functional

Power-to-Weight ratio

Train ALL energy systems

Training is prep for the real thing

Nutrition is the foundation

Recovery is 50% of the process

-From Gym Jones training Philosophy

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.

Practice and train "the Big Five": Deadlift, clean, Front Squat, Push Jerk, and Snatch. "If it's important, do it every day." Pick heavy stuff up off the ground, lift heavy stuff overhead, and carry heavy stuff for distance or time.

Master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds.

Match volume, intensity, duration, frequency to objectives. Eat with a purpose, train with a purpose, live with a purpose.

-from Gym Jones, Dan John, CrossFit.com, and it's getting hard to tell some of it apart, for a list of influences see lists below.
