Early flight means earlier workout. Hit the gym at 5am.

Warmup included: Foam rolling, BW Squat, Bird Dog, Plank, Side Plank, Glute Squeeze, Upper Back mobility, band pull, 1-leg RDL, couple of yoga moves, psoas stretch, chest stretch, forearm stretch, and then warmup sets of RDL, Shrug, and power clean.

Today's Workout:

1) Power Clean (moderate weight, focus on speed)

Today's kick-butt mindset tip:

Try something new today. A new food. A new route home from work. A new exercise. A new perspective on an old problem. A new attitude to a longtime
annoyance. Something new.Then repeat tomorrow with something else.

Let's go,

PS - Random quote I found in Rotman's business magazine over the weekend...

"It is a little known fact that adults actually learn language faster and more effectively than children. Most adults don't believe this to be true, which creates a negative, self-fulfilling prophecy. Recognizing that you can learn anything you want to is the most powerful knowledge out there." - Michael
