Does it count?

Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.
- Albert Einstein


Those of you who can in to get measured today, THANK YOU! The bean counters need these numbers so they can sleep better at night. But as we've discussed before, these numbers are pretty arbitrary for us, especially at this point. The scale doesn't know what you've gone through, over the last 12 weeks, to drop or gain weight. The scale gives no advice and doesn't criticize. It won't make you feel any better about yourself. All it does is tells you how hard gravity is pulling on you, and the tape measures merely illustrates how much air your torso displaces. A bunch of scientists decided that they needed those numbers as indicators to some bigger ideas. If those number mean that we can keep going with the program, then lets let them have it, but we know what we have to do. We must get stronger. We must do more pushups/pullups/squats/cleans/laps and not even break a sweat.

Tomorrow I want everyone to bring a little extra steam. Bring some extra of that stuff the scale can't count. The stuff that can't be measured in inches. Only in by another person who has seen the depths of what you have. Let's do it!! Get Pumped.
