I have a challenge for you guys, and I know just how much you lot love a challenge…do 5 workouts, only!!! If you can! Come in Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday…you get the picture…all week and attend one class with no additional “stuff” before or “things” afterwards and treat the week as a test week. Imagine each workout was 20.1, 20.2, 20.3…you get the picture, and each and everyone of them your absolute all. Pace where you need to, sure, but keep that barbell on your shoulders, pause, and do 3 more reps when all your mind is telling you to do is drop the thing because you can’t!
Ignoring pain and discomfort is not an easy thing to do, the mind is a very powerful tool and can help or hinder. Give yourself targets. Each time you perform movements or when you look at the rounds, plan when you are going to break, if at all. Look at the clock and make that break last no longer than 10 seconds.
Be aggressive with the workouts and hit each as hard as you possibly can; be satisfied. As Coach Glassman said as early as 2007…”Impress me with intensity not volume.”
If you feel that you can do more following each one, go harder tomorrow.
