The Definition of Insanity
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.
