Are You Training Today?

Just as your morning routine can set the tone for the day, your beginning of the week routine can set the tone for the rest of the week. So, how are you starting your week? What type of training are you doing today?
You don't need fancy machines to get a good workout in. Here is a simple workout using a hammer, tire and a heavy bag.

Hammers, Tire Jumps & Heavy Bag Work for lunch break! Hammer Strikes-20 Tire Jumps-10 2min Heavy Bag Rest 90sec x4 Rounds: . . #cardio #outdoortraining #Texas #echosierraathletics #trainanywhere #trainforlife #heavybag #liveyourpassion #everydaystronger

Morning Rituals

Morning rituals are important to me. They set the tone for the rest of the day. For anyone who knows me, knows I don't watch TV, so that's out of the question. My morning rituals include, coffee, reading and I usually pull up an educational or motivational YouTube video. I'm also a fan of Curiosity Stream. They have some really interesting documentaries on my favorite subjects, History and Science! I do all this before I hit the gym, another one of my morning rituals. Train the body and mind!
What are your morning rituals?

Skill Training

Axe and Knife throwing is fun but it's also a skill. It takes a lot of practice to learn the balance of your weapon, distance and handling. I enjoy learning new skills and even though it is frustrating. There's plenty of times when I missed all my throws, the knife even bounced back and almost hit me more than a few times! For any skill you want to learn you have to put in the time effort to get better.

-AXE & KNIFE THROWS- Winding down Sunday afternoon with some single and double knife & axe throws. It's fun to throw some steel! Give it a try! . . #outdoortraining #axethrowing #knifethrowing #coldsteel #thewoods #axegang #countryliving #Texas #skills #liveyourpassion #everydaystronger

Sprinting To The Weekend Like....

By Thursday evening I'm ready for the weekend, but not for the reason most think. I don't sit around watching TV or ball games. That shit is boring to me. I'm outdoors, training, learning new skills, reading. It's also a time to plan workouts for the next week for my classes.
What new skills do you want to learn? What books are you reading? Are you making the most of your time?

I look forward to the weekend so I can play outdoors...rain or shine! No excuses! 💪 . . . #outdoortraining #noexcuses #stoneliftingcrew #UndergroundStrengthCoach #echosierraathletics #liveyourpassion #everydaystronger

This workout was a physical and mental challenge! The vest made everything so much slower. The sun was beating down on me. The 4 minutes seemed to get faster and faster. I contemplated only doing 1.5 or 2 miles at one point, but I stuck to it and finished it out!

Must Watch Interview!

The David Goggins interview is a must watch. There's been plenty of times during Ruck Marches, Morning PT Runs and even WODs where I wanted to stop. In those moments you have to be your own motivation. I've pushed through some brutal workouts using this mindset. Self talk, remembering that I've been through worse and remembering it will end soon and it will be worth it!

A post shared by Jesus Gaitan (@jesus.gaitan.35) on Mar 20, 2017 at 5:42pm PDT

My training partner, Diana, and I just completed a brutal Squat cycle. The Smolov Squat Cycle. Very effective but very brutal!  You can download the app on your phone. First few weeks are free, then it's a small fee to continue to the next phase. We both PR'd on the first phase, then bought the final weeks and each hit another PR. Diana hit three PRs during this cycle. I hit two. Diana started at 240# and in 13 weeks hit 270! She isn't even a year out yet from her ACL reconstruction surgery! 

I started at 295# and hit 320# in thirteen weeks. I had to miss two weeks of the cycle(went light) because of a pulled muscle. Just a week before my PR I struggled to Squat 195# because of it. 

This cycle is pretty rough. There are a lot of  90% and 95% for multiple reps on the second phase. Be sure to have a spotter or Squat in a Squat cage if you are going to compete this cycle. 

Brutal yet Effective!
