I FEEL THIS MAN!!
So glad someone else thinks the way I do and I know others agree!
My Lion ended up being pretty close:
Up in MTNS when attending SAR training I did 500 burpees in row every morning! Then another 500 in day.
Zach knows me as burpee guy…
One of the reasons I live in a one bedroom hut on the indian river in FL, with no amenities not already plugged in when I got here.
I am sharing this and coming back to answer some of those post ?s but right now I am going to go do some burpees and tame that LION!
Great Strongcast, I need to keep with this to get back to remembering when it was worse…
Brandon sounds like your long lost twin.
I always tell you to train according to your goals and mindset….
If you love the conditioning then attack it.
You need strength and that can be acquired with basics!
Thanks again for the Awesome newsletters and keeping it honest!
Can you elaborate on your new dedication to training for the Spartan?
I am psyched for yah!
And are you doing a Sprint, or the BEAST level, I would love to come do one with you brother, but I am also looking into doing the Death Race!
Moreover, if you ever can address how to adapt when one has a commitment that requires late hours. I often get called to do rescues that go way beyond the midnight hours and never can get into what I want to do ( get to bed before 11pm and get up before dawn)
Any suggestions?
Thanks brother
