Deepak, Ryan and Josh push their discomfort level on a dead hang challenge

Happy Birthday, Paul S!

Most, if not all of our training emphasises the sympathetic nervous system.  We encourage speed, strength, aggression and becoming comfortable with high levels of discomfort and stress.  Do you have any experience training meditative, breathing or "soft" modalities?  What about training systems that emphasise slow movements and smaller muscle groups?  If we gave you 10 minutes alone, would you be able to quiet your thoughts?
What do you think the potential benefits of these modalities are?  Could improving your ability to relax improve your Fran time?

For time, alternating rep rounds of:
15-10-5 reps, Power Clean 135/95
5-10-15 reos, Handstand Push-Ups

Consider scaling up the Power Cleans to 155/105. If you've got full range of motion HSPUs but 30 reps seems like too much, a volume scale of 3-6-9 reps might be appropriate, otherwise, use 1 or 2 abmats or DB Press 40% BW
