Iron

It was nice to be back after a long weekend away at the US Open in Pebble Beach.

For Time:
30 Wall Ball
30 Ground-to-Overhead (95#)
30 KB Swings (52#)
30 Overhead Squats (95#)
30 Burpees
30 Ground-to-Shoulder

"I have never met a truly strong person who didn't have self-respect. I think a lot of inwardly and outwardly directed contempt passes itself off as self-respect: the idea of raising yourself by stepping on someone's shoulders instead of doing it yourself. When I see guys working out for cosmetic reasons, I see vanity exposing them in the worst way, as cartoon characters, billboards for imbalance and insecurity. Strength reveals itself through character.

"The Iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found. There is no better way to fight weakness than with strength. Once the mind and body have been awakened to their true potential, it's impossible to turn back." --Henry Rollins
