Ayer nos reunimos los muchachos para darle a un circuito de esos que te ponen a prueba no solo el f铆sico, sino tambi茅n la cabeza. El ambiente estaba cargado de buena energ铆a, y aunque sab铆amos que se ven铆a una rutina matadora, todos est谩bamos mentalizados para no aflojar. Al final del d铆a, los circuitos de resistencia son los que realmente marcan la diferencia cuando quieres progresar de verdad; son los que te forjan el car谩cter y te dan esa condici贸n f铆sica que te separa del resto. No hay nada como el apoyo del grupo para sacar fuerzas de donde no las hay cuando la barra se siente m谩s pesada que nunca.
Yesterday the boys got together to hit a circuit of those that test not only your physique, but also your head. The atmosphere was loaded with good energy, and although we knew that a killer routine was coming, we were all mentalized not to loosen up. At the end of the day, endurance circuits are the ones that really make the difference when you really want to progress; they are the ones that forge your character and give you that physical condition that separates you from the rest. There is nothing like group support to draw strength from where there is none when the bar feels heavier than ever.
La rutina estuvo de locos, una verdadera prueba de fuego para los m煤sculos. Empezamos fuerte con 10 muscle ups para activar la explosividad, y de ah铆 pasamos directo a la resistencia pura: 50 bardips, 50 dominadas, 50 fondos y cerramos con 100 flexiones. A mitad del camino, el 谩cido l谩ctico ya se sent铆a en cada fibra del cuerpo y mantener la t茅cnica se volv铆a una batalla personal contra el cansancio. Las dominadas despu茅s de los muscle ups te prenden fuego los dorsales, y llegar a las flexiones finales es pura voluntad. Es en esos momentos, cuando sientes que los brazos ya no te responden, donde realmente se ve de qu茅 est谩s hecho y cu谩nto deseas superar tus propios l铆mites.
The routine was crazy, a real litmus test for the muscles. We started strong with 10 muscle ups to activate the explosiveness, and from there we went straight to pure resistance: 50 bardips, 50 pull-ups, 50 bottoms and we closed with 100 push-ups. Halfway through, the lactic acid was already felt in every fiber of the body and maintaining the technique became a personal battle against fatigue. The pull-ups after the muscle ups set your dorsals on fire, and reaching the final push-ups is pure will. It is in those moments, when you feel that the arms no longer respond to you, where you really see what you are made of and how much you want to exceed your own limits.
Logr茅 completar todo el circuito en 20 minutos, y la verdad es que termin茅 totalmente destruido. Me sent铆a s煤per agotado, con el coraz贸n a mil y el cuerpo pidi茅ndome clemencia, pero la satisfacci贸n de haber puesto el "check" en la rutina es inexplicable. Vale much铆simo la pena terminarlo y sentir esa descarga de adrenalina al saber que no te rendiste. Fue una jornada brutal con los muchachos del parque; ver que todos le metimos ganas nos motiva a seguir d谩ndole duro. Salimos de ah铆 molidos, pero con la frente en alto y el esp铆ritu por las nubes, listos para volver m谩s fuertes en la pr贸xima sesi贸n.
I managed to complete the entire circuit in 20 minutes, and the truth is that I ended up totally destroyed. I felt super exhausted, with my heart racing and my body asking me for mercy, but the satisfaction of having put the "check" in the routine is inexplicable. It's really worth finishing it and feeling that adrenaline rush knowing that you didn't give up. It was a brutal day with the guys from the park; seeing that we all wanted it motivates us to keep working hard. We left there ground, but with the forehead up and the spirit through the clouds, ready to come back stronger in the next session.
