So it is always easy to go to the gym on the days when you “can do” the workout. It is super hard to decide that you are going to go to the gym on the days when you “can’t do” the workout. It’s the same with my training. It is way harder to get motivated to do things I am not good at and have to really “try” to improve.
So I have decided to try and get good at some things. And by good I mean good enough to not try and avoid these things when they come up in workouts.
Focus:
Learn how to Butterfly my Pull ups(just something I want to learn).
Run (yeah that is it, just run).
Row (warm up with rowing and increase how many meters each week)
Toes to Bar (I always suck at these so I want to just feel more comfortable doing these)
Handstand Push ups (Feel like I can never stop improving this movement)
The hardest part is just committing to the focus and staying with it week after week. Something you are not very good at is not just going to get easy in one week. You have to stick with it for a while if you want to see long term results.
So far this week:

1. Row 500 meters
