This press is almost 3 years in the making. In this video I am military pressing a 79.3 lb kettlebell for the first time. The ultimate goal is to press an 88 lb one by end of April. You can even notice a little disbelief in my face 😮 Why is that? Because I did it with my “weak” arm. Here is to showing up. Here is to following the plan. Here is to believing in yourself. Here is to aging strong. If you do the work, success is inevitable In strength and health, Hugo #strongover40 #agestrong #strengthtraining

I recently came across this term in some text I was editing. What does it mean? It is a term used to describe additional items of dress or equipment. In a military context (as this text was) it was referring to additional kit: webbing, body armour, helmet, CBRN kit, foul weather gear etc. It can also be used in the context of food: a secondary item served alongside a main dish. Is this a term you have come across before?

Dress for the job you want. "Act as if" I first came across this kind of thinking in the Marines. We were encouraged to buy a set of the rank insignia above ours and pin them under our breast pocket flap. This was to remind us to always be thinking one step ahead. Sometimes, during inspections or just in some down time, senior marines would walk up and check to see if you had the next level rank tabs. But as an E3, Lance Corporal, I didn't buy E4 insignia. (As was appropriate for the "next level of thinking".) I bought O6, Colonel insignia. On the face of it, it was a joke. I loved to see the faces of my sergeants or staff NCOs when they lifted up my pocket flap. The responses ranged from laughter to confusion to (in one odd case) anger. I guess he thought I was being disrespectful in some way. People thought I was being cheeky, and that's kind of right. What I did not talk about at the time was that they were only half correct. I knew I would go far, and I knew that I would need to exercise a different perspective to help me get there. I kept those Colonel tabs to remind me of that. In the civilian world, we don't have rank insignia to remind us of how to "act as if". Heck, my CEO wears jeans and a button down shirt. We have to stay focused in other ways. Maybe I should order a set of Colonel pins and keep them on my desk again. What do you all use?
