“I’ll either find a way, or I’ll make one.” – Hannibal Said by a man who got elephants to climb a mountain. Angela Duckworth, a leading expert on the study of “grit”, defines it as follows: “Passion and sustained persistence applied towards long-term achievement, with no particular concern for rewards or recognition along the way.” If there is a single attribute that is the closest correlate to success, it may very well be grit. Grit is very much in line with our definition of “mental toughness”. To give our unconditional best, regardless of the circumstances. It’s doing the unsexy hard work... when no one’s watching. It’s refusing to see a “failure” as “defeat”. It’s refusing to believe that elephants can’t climb mountains… and then proving it.

STIMULUS
- CONDITIONING CATEGORY: Threshold

- WALLBALLS: 1-4 sets. Should be able to get at least 15 in 1 minute.

- HAND RELEASE PUSH-UPS: 1-6 sets. Try to get at least 15 in 1 minute.

- ROW: Try to get 10 or more cals per minute.

- SCORE: Time

STRATEGY
- The hand relese push-ups are going to be the movement we can lose a lot of time on.

- With the upper body press of the wallballs directly interfering with the press in the push-ups, let's plan to break these up early. Maybe break one more set than you are thinking just to be on the safe side.

- If/when resting on the hand release push-ups, kneeling down, putting the arms down by the side, or putting the arms overhead are the best places to allow the arms to rest.

- We want a strong effort on the row since this is the only station we are pulling vs. pressing.
