Limits

Strength:
Deadlift 5/5/5

15-12-9 Protocal
Pick your desired weight and perform 15 consecutive deadlifts, rest 1min, 12 deadlifts, rest, 9deadlifts. The purpose behind this protocal is to be able to lift heavy weight under cardiovascular stress. The end result being able to complete the protocal at 21-15-9 as this is the most common reps scheme for most workouts.

Workout of the Day:
"Grace"
135 pound Clean and Jerk, 30 reps
The basic premise of this workout is to move the weight from the floor to overhead by any means necessary. (I know it says Clean and Jerk but by any means will work)

********************************
What limits you during your workout? Is it lack of stamina? How about strength or speed? Maybe flexibility? Mental Fortitude? Whatever the reason how are you going to overcome those limits? Setting goals? Increase the intensity? Skill/Technique work?

There are a number of reasons for me and I feel the toughest one is mental fortitude. I know I can finish a workout, it is pushing through the uncomfortablness to get there. My brain telling my body to keep going. I have learned that overriding my brain when it tells me to stop has made me that much more physically fit and mentally tough to accomplish not only the wokout but also challenges in my life. If I can be mentally strong to get 135# from the floor to overhead 30x in a set amount of time what is stopping me from being uncomfortable in a work situation or friend situation. Mental fortitude in my opinion is the key to overcoming your limits. You will not increase your strength, speed, stamina, flexibility etc. if you do not have the mental fortitude to stick to a plan make some goals and be uncomfortable for a period of time in the process. If you can harness the mental fortitude and get over the games your brain likes to throw at you you can accomplish anything!
