"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

hey guys just tried the 10 min burpee test today. got up to 80 on my first go then did another 3 sets of 20 with 2 min intervals. Was wondering what sought of goal I should strive for here. I'm thinking about incorporating it into my weekly routine if the results are good after a month.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Well done.
Is that proper burpees, full pushup and full jump?
I have done 50 in just under 5 minutes before, they are easy to improve thank god but murder the first times.
They are the ultimate bodyweight conditioner.

thanks man. yeah full burpee pushup and jump with knees up to chest and also clap above head. It is a real workout, must say didnt expect it to be that hard but my legs were burning at about 70. Just curious is it one of those exercises where your endurance increases quickly. wouldnt mind getting to 100 in ten mins
