Bladesmith vid
About a year ago, I came across an awesome website called Devour. It’s a collection of hand-picked, best-of-the-best videos on the web. The layout is simple, and there’s also an app you can download that’s fantastic.
According to YouTube statistics, 100 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute. So if you spend a lot of time wallowing around on YouTube and Viemo like me, I would highly recommend starting with this site as they do a lot of the grunt work for you.
It’s definitely saved me from sifting through a lot of the dreadful ‘recommended for you’ videos and the day-long YouTube benders ;-)
Recently, a video posted on a Master Bladesmith really hit close to me.

His outlook reminded me a lot of some of the ideals that are explained in the Mastery hand-out that we give our new clients.
Check it out!
All the best – Richy
Workout for Thursday:
Workout # 1 – Sally
Did you learn your lesson last time? Thought this would make a nice bookend for the month.
Choose a realistic weight and test your resolve!
Coaches be sure to charge the ipod between classes.
Workout # 2 – Burpee Ladder
First minute do 1 burpee
Second minute do 2 burpees
Third minute do 3 burpees
…
And so on and so on till you can’t burpee no more. 
Score is the highest number of burpees completed within the minute.
Leaderboard is the Burpee Ladder.
Mucho Amore,
Casa Del Shepardo

Damnit. Thursday was supposed to be my rest day…but this looks like too much fun to miss.

Dexter’s gradual climb up the leaderboard over the past year could only be a result of one of two things:
1) a superior genetic base, a history of athleticism, and lots of hard work
2) insanity
Using the words “too much fun to miss” in relation to a burpee ladder leaves no doubt, #2 it is.
Welcome to the dark side brother.

LOL. If there is any consistency to my performance, then it’s DEFINITELY due to #2.
