“We begin with side straddle hops here” El Toro.
Side note for a conversation I didn’t really hear much of:
Radnor Township Code – Section 230-12 – Public Urination. It shall be unlawful for any person to urinate in a public place, including in or on any street, road, lane, sidewalk, parking area or private property in the Township of Radnor or any room (other than a bathroom) or passageway of any public building.
Section 230-13 – Violations and penalties – Any person or persons, firm or corporation who or which shall violate any of these rules and regulations shall, upon conviction therefor before a duly authorized District Justice, be sentenced to pay a fine or penalty of not more than $1,000, plus costs of prosecution, and, in default of payment of such fine and costs, to imprisonment in the county jail for a term not exceeding 30 days.
Back to workout. Einstein expressed his disappointment that I wasn’t spelling anything.
10 incline merkins, 5 decline merkins, 10 coupon squats, 10 coupon lunges, 10 curls, 10 overhead presses, 5 manmakers. (Shout out to Winklevoss for modifying up for first two rounds).
Hill repeats. Start with six.
Repeat series of seven exercises, followed by 5 hill repeats. Then exercises, and 4 hill repeats. Till end.

Some advice from a guy that won’t be at the Super Bowl in two weeks. Knowing how to process failure is one of the most important building blocks of success. Thoughts on failing and how to use it for gains:
First, I don’t believe in moral victories. Winning and losing is straightforward. It’s one or the other. You can do well or make a good effort, but if you come up short that’s still a loss. And the only way to turn a loss into a win depends on what you do with that failure.
How people react to failure is also pretty A or B. Some people let it grind them down. They use it as an excuse to give up. Others, use it to reflect, improve and do better. If you get into the latter camp, you’re already in the right direction.
The next step is avoiding the blame game trap. It is really easy to point fingers when something goes wrong. But this cannot be part of the process. Why? You can’t control or change others, only yourself. Focus on recognizing your involvement and how you could’ve done better.
Know that failure isn’t just an opportunity to understand things situationally. It’s also a good time understand your true character. Most people aren’t honest with themselves about who they are. Failure pulls back that curtain, don’t be afraid to look.
Once you’ve reflected about it, don’t just keep things in your head. This part is crucial. Write. It Down. Keep a record of what happened and what you learned. Look back on those notes when you are in similar situations.
Lastly, recognize that this is a temporary state. Failures today can be part of victories tomorrow. Just because you have the plan to win everything, there’s always a bigger vision you might not be able to see.
The most important thing to remember is that failure can actually set you up for success. Small failures along the way, with lessons learned, help keep you moving. People who win all the time think they have all the answers. That’s actually the most dangerous place to be.
My hope is that you can apply all this to the failures in your life that are yet to come. Every failure is a reset point. It forces accountability. It reminds us all to be humble.
