I know I told you guys one rule a week, but let's speed up this process! Enjoy! #FreeLunch
3. Don’t be afraid to fail – Don’t be scared to ask for a spot. That’s the only way you will know the extent of your strength. You find your PR by gradually going past what your body allows. If you stop at a certain weight, because the one rep was too hard, you’ll never make any progress. The mental aspect is, if you lift a heavy weight one time that not even you thought you could get, everything under would seem lighter. Your mind will tell you that you are able, now you have confidence. If you bench 315 once, 275 will immediately feel a lot lighter. Don’t lift with your feelings.
4. Ignore the naysayers – The one thing I hate more than curls in the squat rack, is a form police or @instatrainers. They will sit back and tell you that you’re doing everything wrong, as they do nothing at all. Two words that will totally satisfy this situation, “Fuck ‘em”. Your gains aren’t their gains. Your reps aren’t their reps. You should be so focused on your goals and progression that their comments are just noise. You should actually feel a little proud, because they are taking time to concern themselves with what you are doing. Put on a show. “Even the critics have to buy a ticket.”
