JohnW4’s BodyBlog

They say that the definition of Insanity is:  doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.   Never is this more true than in bodybuilding.   I am a victim of my own mind and its’ perceived limitations of my body.   In other words, when I get to that 6th rep at 200 lbs. on the bench, my mind tells me, ‘you can’t get up number 7 because you couldn’t last time."….and I believe it.   I, therefore, never grow.   I’ve, somehow, got to break through this wall or I never will make progress.   I know that and can articulate that here in the blog, but, for some reason, it doesn’t translate in the gym.   I won’t give up, though, and by putting it down in writing, makes it seem even more real.  I’ll let you know how it goes the next time.
