“Shallow people believe in luck and circumstance. Strong people believe in cause and effect” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
We have a choice – to believe that life is happening to us, or that we are fully in control. That life is a direct reflection of the choices that we make. That the good, bag, ugly, and everything in between is a direct result of our actions.
We can stand by, and wait for life to happen to us. Or we can choose to believe that we have a say in our own story, that we are the writers of our script, that we have complete control over what happens next.
Ask ourselves – at the end of the day, are we going to allow our life to be dictated to us by chance, or by choice?

Whenever there is rest built in, we want to try to rest as little as possible during the work periods–let’s choose weights that allow that to happen today.
In the first round, we’re looking for athletes to choose weights/reps that allow them to complete 1 full round.
Suggested timeline for a full round completed in the first AMRAP:
