Precisely yesterday morning I was thinking on how I approach my training and I realized that I have been working hard towards better performance and not succeeding. I thought to myself "I think I have trained my mind as I should" and then later in the afternoon I come across this video "JUST YOUR THOUGHTS", I thought "I have to see this". I don't want to make this comment much longer, all I can say is thank you for sharing, this was a game changer in just one session. I felt the workout which I think I haven't in a while.

[@JoshBridges]

Oliver De La Cruz hell yeah. Love hearing that. Keep getting after it

[@mikeespinoza7608]

Great advice on the mental thoughts. I personally fight back on my thoughts. Gotta pay the man ....

[@JoshBridges]

Mike Espinoza everyday

[@blackbird2979]

been training most of my life ... either weight training ... martial arts ... prior military ( '86 - '91 ) ... now body building w/ crossfit kicked in to see where my base line is at in order to push myself to see what it reveals .... I have always trained with music ... but in the last 2 years i have found that some of the most intense training i have had in my life was with music - but with no lyrics ( words ) .... it is amazing as you dig into your ' head space ' what comes out if you have the discipline to let the music and your resolve carry you to those tipping points ... really appreciate your solid message man ... been paying the man for a while now - it just is what it is .... and i pride my self on making the payments -

[@Compliant89]

Today was one of those workouts where it was just thoughts pushing me through the workout. The inner struggle of slacking off or putting that much more effort into it to cancel out the negativity, I try to always choose the latter.

[@JoshBridges]

Patience is Needed hell yeah, keep getting after it

[@lukeseher4672]

I emailed you about your programming. Does the military programming include swimming and running?? Is it basically a BUDs prep program??

Frank Nelson yes it absolutely includes both

Hey what's the dimensions of your outside rig? 6x4 and 15 ft tall?

[@JoshBridges]

Colin Florus yep, adding more 15 ft sections soon

[@colinflorus3546]

That's the set up I am going with also and with 2 sets of rings and 2 ropes. How big is your work out slab area around the rig? I have a 20x20 slab that my rig is going on but I want to use as little space as possible for the rig so the rest can be used for wods and ect. Thanks.
