Tentative efforts lead to tentative outcomes. Therefore, give yourself fully to your endeavors. Decide to construct your character through excellent actions, and determine to pay the price for a worthy goal. The trials you encounter will introduce you to your strengths. Remain steadfast… and one day you will build something that endures, something worthy of your potential. -Epictetus

wod for 1/15/11
2 rounds of: row or run 500 m 50 push-ups
Then, do the following 3 super-sets NOT for time. Do 3 sets of 8 reps for each exercise
Hercules is my name for a movement I came up with. I imagine it has been done by others before but I have never seen it done or seen it named for that matter. Simply put, it's a curl then press. So, standing up with DB in each hand, perform a curl with both arms bringing the DBs up to the start of the military press position with the palms of your hand (under the DBs) facing your body. Then press up rotating the hands so the palms face away from your body achieving the same top position as a normal shoulder press.
I am nursing a bum knee so I apologize for the lack of intensity with this one but I feel it will be a good change. The last super-set should smoke your shoulders
