Audits

Audits. You got to love them if you are a bean counter. In actuality, they really are a pain. But with every audit or analysis, something is learned. And often times, things are changed forever because of what was discovered. When things change there is pain. But there is also growth.

Of course this applies to all mental, physical and spiritual endeavors. Corporate internal audits, while not mandatory, are usually very productive. External or mandated audits are often unproductive and time wasting. Nevertheless, they need to be done to remain in compliance. What big corporate does should also be done on a personal level. Taking inventory of your life is not a necessity but it sure clarifies goals and helps to determine your focus.

Bottom line: Most people live unexamined lives because there are no mandatory audits for personal and spiritual fulfillment. While the IRS and other legions of regulatory bodies have specific, defined methods, looking at your own physical, spirtitual and mental well being should be done regularly. And that is why DOCUMENTING is crucial. During an IRS audit you will be asked to produce many different documents. Why would training be any different? To do the Gym Movement protocol you will need impeccable record keeping in order to break records on a continual basis.

Speaking of physical: The gym movement scores again - I listen internally only:
Pullups: 31 reps in 15 minutes for a volume and density PR
KB flipping: 10 minutes, getting 10 reps for back flips and 5 for front. Front are very difficult at this time but all tested well.
Standing dumbell hammer curls: double 50s x 2 reps (PR) then 35# for 10 reps

Client #1 CR:
Day 1: 80 snatches (70 at 16K, 10 at 24K), 20 pushups, BUP 36 reps with 16K
Day 2: 100 snatches with the 16K in 4:55
