“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”
-Matthew 7:13-14

I believe the first test of a truly great man is his humility. I do not mean by humility, doubt of his own powers. But really great men have a curious feeling that the greatness is not in them, but through them. And they see something divine in every other man.
-John Ruskin

Question for Rip:
“If you had to choose between wearing no shoes or running shoes to lift in which would you pick?”

Rip’s response: “That is like asking me to choose between stabbing myself in the eye with a fork or burning the roof of my mouth with extremely hot pizza. Can’t we just avoid both?”
-Strength Coach Mark Rippetoe

Old School Chuck Taylor’s! or check out some of the new hybrid flat bottom shoes on the market…there are a lot of them out there now.

Group Warm-up

Run 1 mile
30 Front squats
30 Handstand push-ups
30 DU’s or 120 singles

Load on squats = at least 60% of your one rep max back squat this week. Go heavier if you can.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. -1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

How many will skip today’s WOD because of the running, handstand push-ups or double unders?
Challenge the things that you don’t like or you don’t enjoy. Make your weakness your strength!

BE STRONG!
