Monday was unpleasant.

I knew I had to hit it hard on Monday. I got up early in the morning around 5:30 and headed off to do some errands and some work. I got back to the house around 10. Took a little break and decided to head to work out pretty hard at about 1:45.

I put together a circuit workout that consisted of the following:

• 90 seconds of battle ropes
• One minute rest
• 90 seconds of heavy bag
• 45 seconds rest
• 90 seconds of slam ball
• One minute rest
• 60 seconds of 5lb jump rope skips
• One minute rest
• Repeat 4x

That’s 22 mins of exercise. That does not sound like a lot. But trust me. It ain’t a cakewalk. By the time you finish fighting a 5lb jump rope for a solid minute, the following round is a bitch. That heavy jump rope is fuckin diabolical.

After that I cooled down with a short but brisk walk around outside and then a big ass glass of water. I was dripping with sweat by the end.

As I said yesterday, busting through plateau periods are harder than most people think. You have to work extra hard and have a specific kind of focus.

Tomorrow, we will be doing a whole new thing. I’ll fill you in after the day has finished. In the meantime, I am focused and centered.

Peace.
