Welcome, Start Here
Welcome to The Citadel. This is a community of people being forged into something better, people who use the gym as a training ground for discipline, presence, and character. You are here because you already know the barbell teaches more than most classrooms. Here is how this works: every month we train a virtue. Every week you get a code, a challenge that takes the work off The Floor and into your life. Head to The Forum and tell us what you are building. Not just in the gym. In life.

What’s something that fired you up this past weekend?
Something that you said “hell ya that’s awesome”
The Iron Curtain (workout for week of Feb 23rd)
For Time: 50 SA DB Thrusters (50/35) 40 RKC Swings (50/35) 30 Toes to Bar 20 Power Cleans (135/95) 400m Run 20 Power Cleans (135/95) 30 Toes to Bar 40 RKC Swings (50/35) 50 SA DB Thrusters (50/35) *25 minute time cap Scaling Options: Light: DB weight 35/20, Power Cleans 95/65, Hanging Knee Raises instead of TTB Moderate: DB weight 40/25, Power Cleans 115/80, Kipping TTB As written: 50/35 DB, 135/95 Cleans, TTB Stimulus: This is a long grind. Should take most people 18-25 minutes. This is not a sprint. The pace you set on the way down is a promise you're making to yourself on the way back up. The Lesson: This workout is built like a mirror. You descend into it thinking the run is the finish line. It's not. You turn around and everything you just did is waiting for you again. This is where your week's code meets the barbell. The Surrender Challenge is about releasing what you can't control. In this workout, you can't control the fact that the back half exists. You can't bargain with it. You can't skip it. The only thing you control is how you respond when you turn off that run and see 20 power cleans staring at you again. Your ego will want to compare the back half to the front half. It will tell you that you should be moving at the same pace. It will start doing math and telling you stories about the time cap. Let that go. The back half is a different workout than the front half. You are a different person on the way back up than you were on the way down. Surrender the idea that they should feel the same and just do the next rep. After the workout, reflect: what happened when you hit that turn? What did your inner voice say? Where did you grip and where did you let go? Drop your time and your reflection below when you're done.
