Listen to that voice

Brian Hack | 03/28/2012 | 4

Sometimes, all it takes is one person. Sometimes, you can do it all alone. But sometimes you just need one other person to believe, one other person to give a damn, one other person to say “Keep going” or “I know how you feel” or just simply “F*** yeah.”

One person to tell you “Get back on the bar” or “One more box jump and then you can rest” or simply “3-2-1-Go.”

One person. 

How simple is that and yet how incredibly difficult? Most of us are independent by nature. We want to believe we can do it all alone, without the help of anyone else. We want to do it all by ourselves. For us, the weakness is not in our efforts, but in our wanting, in our need for anyone or anything else in this life.

Yet just one person can make all the difference in our workout, in our day, in our week, in our lives.

One person to cheer. One person to coach. One person to basically give a damn about us.

Get in the gym today. Listen to that one person. And be that one person for someone else.

    Deadlift: 305#. Definitely less pain/tightness in my lower back/sacrum than deadlifts had caused in the past, so my form must be getting better (aka fewer “stripper deadlifts”).

    WOD: 13:26 (135#/2Pd/30″ box). Went up on the box jumps to make up for the lighter front squats. It’s remarkable how not being able to rebound the box jumps makes the workout suck so much more.

    Mandy, thanks for being our substitute teacher the past two weeks!

    DL: 155# but also feeling better about form (thanks mandy!)

    wod: 9:21 (i think?) with 95#, 16kg, and 20″ with 1 min of rest between each round

    also — the morning crew doesn’t have any blog photos…ever. which makes me sad.

    4 @ 285#, just couldn’t keep my grip on the bar for that last rep. form kinda went to hell after the first rep. went home and weighed myself to verify that was indeed 2x body weight 🙂

    box jumps are usually not the bane of my existence, but they were tonight.
