One thing you don’t hear about too often is the effects of training on the mind.
That’s right; muscle isn’t the only thing that gets stronger when you push yourself in the gym.
Hard training will lead to a ‘mental upgrade’ of sorts…But the key words are ‘push yourself.’
Lollygagging ain’t gonna cut it.
Neither is pumping out a few sets of concentration curls or leg extensions.
And plopping one’s behind down on the recumbent bike, and lazily peddling for 20 minutes definitely won’t either.
That’s why I believe you don’t hear much about this. Getting stronger mentally from training requires real work.
You need to push yourself beyond your current comfort zone. And that can be a hard sell.
But if you’re not willing to push yourself to new limits, you’ll never, and I mean NEVER realize your potential.
That’s because your true potential lies on the other side of ‘comfortable.’
In fact, I guarantee that you can lift more, or go further and faster than what you currently do. And I’m not talking about getting stronger over time.
I’m talking about right now. Your body can do more than what you think it can. But your mind is acting like a speed limiter on a car’s engine.
I’m not saying that you have to push yourself of risking death from exhaustion. That is possible. But unlikely when going for one more rep or yard.
Yep, Crossing over can be a brutal, not always though. But it’s necessary if you want to tap into, and develop your true strength.
But don’t let this scare you off…
As you challenge yourself, your mind adapts and gets stronger. Before you know it, pushing yourself isn’t such a big deal.
You’ll go from wanting to cough up both lungs, and feeling like you’d hack up a third if you had one…
From thinking ‘this sucks..’
To ‘BRING IT!’
It’s true…
As you see the results from your training and grow stronger, your mindset will change.
Instead of avoiding or fearing the effort, you’ll welcome it…
And why wouldn’t you? Once you get a taste of the results, you’ll want more, I guarantee it…
