Rounds: 6

Location: Garage

Audio: The Howard Stern Show (Sirius XM)

6 rounds AMRAP* mixed plyometric work and closed kinetic chain movements, recipe as follows:

• no glove heavy bag for honest form

• split squat jumps

• mountain climbers

• pull-ups

• push-ups

• crunches and leg raises

I reduced recovery time between the 3 sets to boost my hemoglobin and Vox aptitude.

Feeling angry and searching for a reprieve. I am not hiding from the pain of job rejection and lack of purpose. I am seeking positive feedback from inanimate objects e.g. heavy bag.

Disappointment seems to be the local temperature these days and I am diving right into those feelings. Like a bison instinctually facing into a snow storm to pass through faster, while other animals flee.

I looked into joining the marines today. I think my two masters degrees would be a great case for early entry into OCS. <Insert Full Metal Jacket quote here>

Another day of looking inward. Thinking I'll turn my critical eye outwards towards others. The art of delivering this energy is nuanced. Need to maintain control or find balance before my body breaks down and I am left with nothing but thoughts.

Howard and the gang always help to ease the urgency of my anxiety. Is this the formula? Steady forward pressure into adversity? Blindly putting one foot in front of the other toward the incoming storm. For family? Sanity? Purpose?

These questions will be put to the bag tomorrow. Vicious and without mercy. A reflection of society.

I am the bison.

*As Many Reps As Possible (until failure is psychological more than physical)
