Skink a dink maroo

There once was a man from sri lanka
He worked as a personal banker
But gave it all up
To follow his dream
Of sailing a big oil tanker

Workout 16 & 17

Last week my computer died a horrible death, so I didn't log my workout. I've now managed to misplace my numbers, so it's a bit of a guess here and there. Time will tell if I'm blowing my own horn.
Workout 16
 Warmup:
   Mobility: Rocking, Rolling, and Crawling. Movement.
 Squats:
   Full Squats: 50,30 (meant to be 2x30, so I guess I can move on!)
 Pullups:
   Plate Rows: 10
   Inverted Rows: 20,15,10 (hmm?)

Workout 17
 Warmup:
   Mobility: Rock, Roll, Crawl. Movement.
 Pushups:
   Incline: 10
   Kneeling: 30,30,28 (didn't force the final 30)
 Abs:
   Seated: 40, 40, 40
I'm cooked after the abs. damn. that was tiring. out...

Workout 15

Mobility
Rocks, Rolls, and Crawls
Pushup:
  Incline: 10
  Kneeling: 30,30,25

Abs:
  Planks: 30sec
  Seated: 40,40,40

I'll take it. Time to move to level 2 abs. I'm tired of the seated version.

Mastery or Multiplicity

Often we are forced to decide what our main focus will be. If we want to stand out from the crowd, we will generally have to focus on a something specific. It's unusual to stand out from the crowd if you do not invest significant time and effort on your chosen area of expertise. That time will no longer be available to use in improving other areas.
If you choose to be multi-skilled, then you must spread your time across the various areas of endeavour. This means that you will not have time to master a single area.
So, ultimately, you will need to decide what appeals to you. Do want to be someone known for a specific skill, or will you trade fame for being known simply for being pretty good at a lot of stuff.
I've always gone for the multiplicitous approach. Not exactly a 'jack of all trades', but someone able to show skill and ability in a wide range of activities. I like the idea of being a 'Renaissance Man'. Look it up. Another name for it is a Polymath. That's my goal. So I accept the fact that I will never deadlift 800lbs, but I prefer being able to do lots of things rather than just one or two.
What are you? A master of one, or an artisan of a few?...

A Code

Do you have a code that you live by?
Ancient warriors often had a rigorous set of rules or tenets to live by. It was a way to maintain order among a bunch of people who trained to fight. It was also a way to allow people to strive toward a goal. The goal was to be a better person, to have more honour, or to be held in higher regard.
The modern world seldom has anything similar to offer a person. The closest thing is the media. The media tells people what they should look like, what they should own, the type of lifestyle they should lead, and what the hot topics of the moment are. But, it never actually encourages one to develop character or to show honour to others. It does not encourage integrity and truthfulness. The main focus is 'me'. Me first.
There is much to be said for living by a code however. Having a code makes one accountable, which leads to acting responsibly. It gives one a barometer by which to measure oneself, and if needed to strive towards improvement. It trains one in reaching for goals. It helps one to be a better child, sibling, or parent. Virtuous people are rare, and valued by any who have the sense to see virtue as a positive trait.
Having a code will not make life easier, but it will give more quality to the time you spend on the surface of the ground. And if you pass it on to others, it will do the same for them.
What virtues do you deem especially noteworthy? Make those part of your personal code. Live by them.
Accept a code. Accept responsibility for your actions. Be better. Live better.
