Get Tough

Just a quick Blog to get this ball rolling again.

When you train, if your mind is not on the task then guess what..your F*(&^(&(ked
Its that simple the mind is one of the most important training tools, and if no treated properly it willl halt everything. Diet, exercise, life, stress, etc etc.  if your heads not in it, then you will get no results.

Do you think this lion above worries about his taxes, his mortgage, his credit card bills, his achy knees, his sore foot. Do you think he gives a crap what he looks like while chasing a gazelle. Do you think he cares what others say about him behind his back. Do you think he shows up and just phones in a workout.
F*&k no, he gets work done.
He puts all that shit aside, and focuses on his task, staying alive, staying fed, and being the king of the friggen jungle.
He shows up, gets his work done, enough said.

Be a lion, think like a lion, dont let all that bullshit background noise mess with your head. Just flush it all out, show up, and get work done, you have time to worry when the workouts over, and besides.....

LUKE 12
22Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 26Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?



So I hope this helps those of you, ( You know who you are ) who really need to hear this..

GET WORK DONE
BE A FRIGGEN LION

Training For The Apocalypse

I recently read an interesting article about Ashton Kutcher and it was a bit tongue in cheek but I have to say it got me thinking. In it he describes how he is training to prepare himself for the inevitable Armageddon, when society will collapse and he will have to protect his family. I cant believe Im going to say this, but I actually agreed with something Ashton said.. WOW.... Ill post the full article below.
----So here is why I think Crossfit would best prepare you for the oncoming Apocalypse----
To start lets discuss what will be important in the hypothetical Apocalypse.

• Food
• shelter
• protection
• mobility
• endurance/ both physical and mental

Lets be honest it wont take much to set off society spark plus, just take away the Internet for a day and we would have riots, add the electrical grid, tv, and cell phone service and holy shit people would go mad.           ( Pretty frigging sad how much we rely on these plastic pieces of junk ). Then the supermarkets would slowly run out of food due to lack of transportation, then people start looting and robbing, you can see easily how this snowball gains speed into total social collapse. So then it falls on you to be strong to survive, physically mentally spiritually.
Crossfit trains the body to be accustomed to being uncomfortable, it mixes cardio, and strength and the ability to endure extreme discomfort at times ( Fran or murph ), it also produces a distinct mental attitude of toughness and I CAN DO IT, that will be vital and necessary to either fend off a looter or run like heck from danger. Strength will be necessary as the weak, the poor and the obese will unfortunately go first, its sad but true people, the strong will survive.
::::SIDE NOTE: It is the INHERENT duty of the strong to protect the weak and innocent and those who cannot protect themselves. So guess what tough people, your gonna have to help protect those who cannot help themselves, its just something that will happen.
Mental toughness I think will be almost as important as physical as times get tougher and tougher, anyone who has done any number of crossfit WOD's know the importance of mental training to make it through a grueling workout. And they also  know the improved confidence that comes from being able to complete such workouts.
So to reiterate crossfit workouts prepare the mind, the body and the individual to be able to perform under almost any physical or mental scenario, it will produce a mentally tough athlete who will posses the necessary physical skills to lead people through the apocalyptic wasteland.
TIPS.

• Stock up. guns ammo, weapon's, you will need them
• start growing your own food and learn how to can them
• learn how to hunt because mc d's and hanafords wont help you if they have no food
• take an outdoor survival course
• Get right with the God, cause your going to need all the help you can
• Throw away that plastic card and start learning how to save and manage your cash, visa wont help you
• lastly but most importantly start Crossfitting because if you cant run, jump, or lift your fat ass off the ground well, none of the above tips is going to help you

I could go on and on and write a novel about this but Ill leave it brief for now.

Here are a few excerpts from the Ashton article which is in the feb Men's Fitness
