SAF 1.13.14

14 Jan

Day 7

Congrats on making it through the dreaded WEEK 1!

goals

Now that you’re in the swing of things, it’s time to set some goals. You have all had a few days to think about it, so I’m hoping to see some awesome ones here. Let’s stay away from the dreaded “lose weight” goal. That one is boring, and who cares about what the scale says anyway if you look sexy as fuck naked.

Your goal should be something you want to accomplish during the SAF Challenge and should be PRECISE!

  • 10 unbroken kipping Pull Ups – NOT – Pull Ups
  • Sub 4:00 “Fran” – NOT – PR my “Fran”
  • 10# PR on my Deadlift – NOT – PR my Deadlift
  • 5 unbroken Double Unders – NOT – get my Double Unders

How are we going to reach our awesome goals?

  1. Stop fantasizing. Start committing. The main reason we don’t achieve our goals is lack of commitment. If you want it, commit to working on it. As Nike would said, just do it.
  2. Start. Now. How do you start working towards a goal? Start somewhere…anywhere. Diving in the deep end and taking that first step could be the difference between failure and success. Once you’ve started, the goal is going to get stuck in your mind.
  3. Visualize the path. Not the outcome. Concentrate on what you are going to do to work towards your goal, not simply the goal itself. It helps focus your attention on the steps you need to take.
  4. If you fall, keep going. This is a tough one. Goals don’t come easy, but neither does anything good. You have to work for it. If you hit some bumps on your road to achieving your goal, you’re doing it right. Get through them, ask me for help. If you don’t work on your weaknesses they will never become your strengths.
  5. Don’t be Tyler Durden. Aka, don’t beat yourself up. Goals should be difficult, but fun. If you aren’t having fun while working towards your goal you’re fucked. It will begin to feel like a chore and your chances of succeeding at that point is slim.
  6. Don’t be a robot either. If you’re doing the same thing everyday and not making any progress it’s time for a change. Again, ask me for suggestions on what to do or what to change up.

I’m here to help you guys! Get to work, you have 25 days!
