. . . And the Seven Dwarfs

Last night I had a spark of creativity.  Well, this little bug wouldn't let go and as I instructed class after class there was a noticeable trend developing.  As I paused for a moment of reflection I thought about Disney movies, and only one little tale popped into my head, and one character from another movie . . .

Practice

It was almost quiet, too quiet.  Anxiousness flooded the area, barbells remained still, legs began to twitch and thoughts fluttered through the mind - a moment of clarity, only to be distilled by the pondering of "what ifs" and "can I". . .

It Seems Like So Much More

Alright, this topic has been coming up more and more frequently, percolating through my mind like a fresh cup of coffee, and wouldn't you know it - a hot cup of java is waiting below. . .

When It Clicks

If something is extremely hard to learn - for example, high school math (and if it was easy for you, just go with the analogy), you would practice and practice - and then be tested on it, anything to verify that you know the method inside and out . . . .

To Rest or Carry On

It's always after the fight that we can look back and determine what has happened - as the saying goes - hindsight is 20/20 . . ..

If Its On The WhiteBoard

I think I can say with a certain air of confidence that if something is written for a workout, chances are that most folks are going to try and do it as close to what it says . . .

Defy

To defy -
1)  Openly resist or refuse to obey
2)  (of a thing) Make (an action or quality) almost impossible

Getting Prepped. . . . err. . .Pumped

There is a direct correlation between CrossFit, Olympic Lifting and Sumo wrestling - trust me, this isn't much of a stretch if you've watched a Sumo match recently. . .

To Doubt Oneself

Doubting yourself leads you down such a dismal path, think of it as walking in the street through  the pouring rain, with wet shoes, over-sized clothes, and to top it all off, a 18 wheeler splashes you with crap from a huge puddle on the side of the road. . . 

Focus

I didn't realize that it was so important to achieve my goals for such a long time, it was always important for me to enjoy what I was doing and if something happened to come about because of that, I was content.

When It Gets Rough

We all have our differences when things get rough, and it's always known that it's how you deal when things happen to go that way . . .
