Notes

Please be sure to watch the entire workout instruction video (above) for full details.

This workout begins from the standing position with the barbell on the floor and the Athlete standing tall. Every rep counts in this workout. You will enter your score as the total number of reps. See the Scorecard for assistance in calculating the rep total.

Life ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!” Rocky Balboa

Secondhand Smoke Exposure Linked to Signs of Heart Disease: Exposure to Tobacco Smoke May Be More Dangerous Than Previously Thought:
Nonsmokers, beware. It seems the more you are exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke — whether it was during your childhood or as an adult, at work or at home — the more likely you are to develop early signs of heart disease, according to research being presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 62nd Annual Scientific Session.
