14 warriors posted for a Pizza Man Q on mental toughness.  Today felt a little different at Midoriyama with the humidity and heat down.  17:30 hit and  it was time to get this thing rolling.  With no FNG’s, still a short disclaimer due to some injuries at Midoriyama over the past weeks.

Warm-up:

Seal Jack X 20 IC

Don Q’s X 10 IC

And now to get the mental toughness started…

10 burpees OYO on every minute X 5

Thang:

Now with the heart pumping lets mosey to the soccer field but remember 5 humpees at the speed hump.

Circle up for some Tabata work:

The PAX were to perform each exercise for 30 sec. and then go to the next.  We did this for 3 sets.

Exercises were:

Merkins(Regular, Wide, Walking Hand)

Squat to calf raises

LBC’s

With that complete, lets go…mosey to the hill at the dog park for a little TRIPLE NICKLE.  PAX were to run the hill, at the top perform 5 American Get-ups(We aren’t Turkish) then run back down and do 5 WWI sit-ups.  With it being called TRIPLE NICKLE, that means repeat for 5 times.  Good work men…this is when mental toughness was needed.  QIC explained that when your body is saying I can’t or wants to stop, that’s when you need to tell yourself you can and to push!!! Look around at all the HIMS around you and feed off of that.

Lets keep that heart pumping…mosey on to the playground for some more Tabata work.

This time the exercise were:

Pull-ups

Windshield wipers

Planks(Rows, Alt hand lifts)

We modified to 2 sets due to time

With around 6 minutes to go lets mosey back to the flag for real mental toughness.  With your body worn from the previous 40 minutes, tell your body to push and you can do it!!

That’s right…circle up for 10 burpees OYO on every minute X 5

Time!!

Much respect to Oompa Loompa for posting for the COT…Get better brother!!

Good work men!! Way to be strong and push through!!  As I mention throughout the workout, the reason all the HIMS post is to not only better themselves but be there to push each other.  Just remember going forward that when you think you don’t have it in you, dig deep and tell your body you can!!!

Until next time Pizza Man is OOOOUUUUUUTTTTTTT!!!!
