“When it’s obvious that the goal cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goal, adjust the action steps.” ConfuciusWe’re drawing close to the end of 2021.As we enter 2022, we’ll be planning some targets, some goals, some aspirations. As we put the time towards thinking of the year ahead, let’s do a visualization exercise together to help shape those thoughts.
Imagine we’re sitting together in a coffee shop… and it’s the *end* of 2022. Just about a year from today.And I ask you, “Hey friend. Tell me… what do you feel was your biggest accomplishment of 2022?”“Did you set any goals that you set, but happened to miss? What would you change?”“And last question… now with 2022 in hindsight, what do you think are your major growth areas for 2023?”

”Hotshots 19"
Nineteen members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots lost their lives on June 30th, 2013 while fighting a fire in Yarnell, Arizona. The Yarnell Hill Fire, ignited by lightning on June 28, 2013, overran and killed the 19 firefighters resulting in the deadliest wildfire ever in Arizona. Today we do this workout in their memory. June 30th was the date (6 rounds/30 Air Squats), 19 men were lost (19 Power Cleans), 7:40pm (7 Pull-Ups / 400m
Run).
- Air Squats: Reps should be completed in 1:15 or less.
- Power Cleans: Loading should not exceed 65% of their 1RM power clean. Reps should be completed in 1:00 or less.
- Strict Pull-Ups: Reps should be completed in 1:00 or less.
- Run: Each run should take 2:15 or less.
- Score: Total Time- Settle into a steady pace on the air squats.
- Singles on the power cleans right from the start is a great option in this workout. Another great option is to alternate between touch and go sets and singles to help move through the cleans a little faster.
- Singles on the strict pull-ups is also a great option if these tend to break down quickly for you. Another option could be to hold on for 4-5 reps, then take a quick break, then finish out the last 2-3 reps as singles.
- Let's find a steady pace on the 400m runs.
