I don't know about you guys, but I realized that my mind puts limits on my body... like today, i was running for about 20 min, then stopped for a lil big. Then i thought "wtf am i doing, i can run faster and harder than this, so stop ****ing around Nic and get going!" I ran another 20 min at 80-85% and got a nice burn from it. Later I did pullups. Now i usually do 6-7 sets of 15. on my 3rd set i got to 10, and i stopped, and again, I yelled at myself to stop acting like thats all i can do when i can really do more.
case in point. For me personally, i constantly get a thought of "i cant do anymore" "i cant lift that much" "i'm tired" "I did enough for today"
and i think anyone who trains gets these thoughts. I'm just encouraging everyone to fight whenever you get a thought like this. The body can do a lot more than people give it credit for. Just encouraging everyone to really push hard and don't let your mind dictate what you can really do..... because it's more than you think.
people say i overtrain, and maybe i do, but in my eyes, i just push myself as hard as i can. I think this shows in my speedy results. I mean who goes from doing only 5 handstand pushups to doing 25 in only 2 weeks? Or curling 50 lbs 8x when you could only curl 30 lbs 10x 2 weeks ago... I think anyone can if they push themselves hard enough.
When i run, i ask myself "if someone was chasing me with a gun, or someone grabbed my wallet and was running away with it, how fast would i be running? Am i running that fast now?"
Train hard!
