I believe it was Ed Harris in Apollo 13 who actually got to say the words "Failure is not an option!". I approve of both the sentiment as well as the training philosophy, and in this morning's workout I almost hit failure, but backed off instead. Is there any good reason to actually "train to failure"?
Going to get more of a workout tonight at Wells. Hopefully it'll go better than Monday's classes...which I feel were disastrous. Better next Monday for sure!
Workout Madness:
Naked RKC Arm-bar 1 rep each side — I stumbled across a great video on Straight to the Bar on Monday, and I just had to try it out. Next time, I'll try it with my 16kg kettlebell and see how it feels!
C&P 16kg 4x(1;2;3;4) & 1x(1;2;x;x) — The protocol for today's workout was supposed to include 5 sets, but the rule that I've read in Pavel's books can be paraphrased as if you hit failure, you're done for the day, and I really like that idea. So after I couldn't Press that bell on that 5th set, that's it for now.
Swings 16kg 30 in 2 min. — again with the low numbers! My phone clearly doesn't want me to burn a lot of fat this week...
