Intensity!
Read an interesting quote yesterday which made me rethink my attitude to weight training. Paraphrased it is roughly "the difference between doing everything right and not growing and someone who doesn’t yet grows is EFFORT" and it made me realise that although I am seeing some gains, for me to really make the progress I want I need to up the intensity and workout to my best effort each time I enter the gym. Tried it for the first time today and think I’m beginning to understand… chest is tight, triceps are sore, more painful than ever before. The extra rep, the added set, made a world of difference, fighting through the pain will help me break my barriers, physical and mental. TIME TO TRAIN HARD!!
