DRS STRONG WEEK 34-MAX OUT WEEK
Rosario Rios Aguilar • May 18, 2015
MENTAL TOUGHNESS:
A perfectly disciplined will that refuses to give in.
A state of mind.
A character in action.
Number 1 Max out week!!! This week is about having fun and trusting the work you have put in. It is simple!! If you have been showing up and have been consistent, you will do great to the ability that you have now. There will be some areas that everyone needs to work on but that is part of the fun and part of the process to keep getting better! This week I will be testing you on Hang Power Clean-Monday, Strict Press-Tuesday and Overhead Squats-Friday (DON'T MISS haha). There will also be overall work capacity and lactid acid workouts that will show the extent of your engine and the efficiency of your movements. Next week I will be testing the new lifts we have been working on as well as different benchmarks.
I often hear people ask me if they can do an extra workout after their max out day besides the programming. My answer is...I do not recommend it. Why? Because if you have been coming consistently your body is at the peak for testing and it wants to lift heavy and do work on those metcons and athletic skills. But it is also in need of rest and proper recovery. Your body will not feel it right away but the effects of a hard cycle and max out weeks affect a bit later and catch up to you. My suggestion is trust the process and enjoy these testing weeks which will get you ready for next phase. Also, show up saturday since we are doing a long metcon for your cardio fix haha. Now for some of you that have been working and life has gotten in the way of you coming in regurlarly, STILL COME IN! WE HAVE PLENTY THINGS FOR YOU and you can support others around you =)
Mental approach when maxing out:
1) Trust yourself and the work you have put it. Trust the programming and the tools and resources we give you to excel in what you want and need.
2) Approach the barbell, the metcon, the movement with calmness and know when to release the beast!!!
3) Be aggressive and think positive thoughts before performing the lift.
4) Your body is ready for what is in front of you. MAKE YOUR MIND BE READY AS WELL.
5) Dictate how you want your day to be. Anything you do makes you better than what you were yesterday.
6)Whether you think you can, or you think you can't. YOU ARE RIGHT!
LETS GOOOO!
Stay Strong,
DRS Strong

Stay in the now, reinvent yourself into a better version that you liked in the past!
Why do we hesitate to do things we want to do? What makes us scared? We might never have the answers to a lot of questions, and believe me I love questions haha! But what I do know is that we are only here with an expiration date so why not go and seek adventure and do the things we are afraid of doing and trying. Anything worthwhile is both scary but yet super empowering. The thrill of doing something out of your comfort zone, outside of your circle, speaking in front of thousands, singing out loud, the saying dance like nobody is watching! so so true for all of us! Look at yourself in the mirror and appreciate every part of you. Dig deep in your own feeling and your own brain. Share the love of something with someone you choose. Read poems, do the photoshoot you have always wanted, sky dive ( never have I ever haha) Get in the gym and kick your butt! don't be afraid to be the last one of the class, it won't be for long! Talk on the phone more often, ask your crush on a beach walk :) anything that you always have wanted to do. LET'S GOOOOOO!!!! Stay Strong, DRS Strong! Coach RRA
