The cost of effort..

Ron let me hold him accountable last year... and in the suffering lies the salvation.

As I went head-to-head against a very formidable opponent in a workout that can only be described as "lower back hell"

50-40-30-20-10 Reps of

30lb wall Ball
20 pound sledge hammer hits

I realized I was in for a tougher than normal match-up. As I pounded out the first 50 ( or so I thought) wall balls..... I went to move over to the tire, when I heard...

"50>? You did 50?.... ok bro.... if that's how this is gonna play out!"

I realized at that point, I was at 40 and miscalculated....

It brought me back to a conversation I had. As you train, and gain knowledge you invariably become a "Crafty Veteran" and sometimes you can't help but cheat to win. It's an bread-in mentality.


So basically, I'm like Orel Hershiser..... The man who played so many games past his prime by learning the system, doctoring the baseball and using the infamous "spit ball"

The point is...

Hold youreself accountable, and, if that's too much to ask.... Have a cognizant training partner.

Yeah, just like me.... The Crafty(shady)vet....
