Many of us if not all made good gains when we started. If you think back it was difficult. We werent strong or in shape. I can remember battling to finally bench 225.
Now here we are present time. We hit the gym......
- we sweat
- we lift heavy
- it hurts, it burns
- we get exhausted and we get fatigued
- we even try new exercises and splits
BUT.... how often do we push PAST out comfort zone. Before you say "i work out hard, lift heavy, it burns, etc... realize this. After so many years that IS your comfort zone.
Think to yourself for a moment... how many times do you try something where your thought process is.....
- man this is going to suck
- i dno if il get this but il try
- im a little afraid, but lets do it!
I realize some of us are older and dont have this in us any longer. I realize not everyone has these extreme grow at all costs goals. I realize some just cant push like this. I know i try to do some things every workout where one or more of the above thoughts pops in my mind. When your thought process and approach becomes similar to this (within safety parameters) then i guarantee your growth accelerates!
