… I was part of a professional development program in college and one of the guest speakers was talking about a about people who graduated and pursued a purpose driven GOAL after graduating, vs. those who just wanted  MONEY (or had no specific goal), and how they were 10x more financially successful after 10 years. She developed a program “…to do 20 pull-ups, the required number for male Marines to do in order to achieve a perfect score on the physical fitness test. Coincidentally, the last time I was training for max pull ups my goal was also 20 in a minute, but I only got to 19! 2)Reps x Sets – good for most, if your max number is not close to 20 Aim to train 3-5 days a week (every other day), up to 3 times per day for maximum effectiveness.

I was a little hesitant to sign up for the Pro heat for my first Savage Race, but I run in the elite heat for other Mud Runs and knew I wanted to run competitively, with less wait at obstacles, so I went for it. One of the obstacles that got a few people was Saw Tooth (pictured below); a 10 foot high 35 foot long inclined set of monkey bars. In fact, only 13 of 55 (23.6%) total Pro Savage women finished all the obstacles, compared to 99 out of 153 (64.7%) I was happy to race my first Savage Race, my first Savage Pro Race, keep my pro band and was lucky to place 2nd in my age group.

In this post, I’ve collected a list of top 10 wrist warm up exercises that I happen to do every time I practice. Cheese: Hold your hands out at eye level, bend your flat palms down 90 degrees with the forearm, and flick your hands loosely, like your flicking water off your hands. Piano: Put your hands at eye level, with fingers facing away from you, flat palms bent at 90 degrees from the forearm. Around the Clock: On hands and knees, place both palms on the floor an rotate wrists around the clock palms down while putting some weight on them.
