Here was my workout:
As fast as possible for time:
25 Pull Ups
50 Deadlifts @135 pounds
50 Pushups
50 24" Box Jumps
50 Floor Wipers @ 135 pounds
50 Kettlebell Clean and Presses with 35 Pound Kettlebell (25 Each Arm)
25 Pull Ups
The whole goal of this workout challenge was to beat the time that actor Andrew Pleavin did the workout in, which was 18 minutes and 11 seconds.
The first time I tired this (click here for the complete entry), I completed it, with a moderately hard pace and trying to get the feel for the routine, in 24 minutes and 50 seconds. Not a promising first run. But I dug deep, and kept pushing myself, every day. I went harder, took rest when needed, and relaxed into the movements. When I did this workout, I met extreme fatigue, numb arms and legs, and The Wall tried to make me stop, said it was ok to let up. But I pushed through.
Final time: 17 minutes, 25 seconds.
I beat the time by 46 seconds.
I'm so pumped. You have no idea.
There is this feeling of happiness, and of pride. Because I stuck with it. I endured 30 days of some of the most grueling workouts that I've ever done. And I did it with pride.
To sum up my thoughts on the workout, here's a video:
Relief and Pride!
But now comes the biggest question: what next?
Well to be honest, I don't know; I want to know what you guys think.
Regardless, I want people to know that you can do anything if you only belief in yourself, have a goal, and work hard.
To end this blog post, and this workout challenge, I'm going to give you three sayings; one of which I found; two that I came up with myself:
"What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?" Unknown Author
"Have faith and never lose hope, and nothing is beyond your reach." Jordan Mitchell-Love
"Make your own miracles." Jordan Mitchell-Love
Until the next time.
