Sometime throughout your fitness journey you'll feel like missing out your strength training session.
There could be lots of reasons. You may be pressed for time, you may be unmotivated, you may feel tired or sore from your last session whatever the case, you don't feel like getting off your butt and going to the gym.
It's times like this when you get the chance to build your determination, willpower, and "never say die" attitude.
Today is one of those days for me
My quads are still really sore from the high intensity tabata protocol I did yesterday on my rest day, plus I didn't get enough protein to help recover.
Also I must of ate something bad last night because I woke up vomiting at 4am this morning...
So at this time I have two options: 1.) disregard my strength training session today or 2.) Perform the session as planned, but adjust as needed.
What am I going to pick?
I'm going to do my session as planned and adjust as needed!
So How Can You Get Somewhere When You Don't Feel Like It?
The minute I enter the weight room today, I might find my warm up sets are feeling extra hard. Possibly the weights aren't moving as easily as I want to.
I'll probably still do my first set at the suggested poundage, however I may have to move away slightly on the next two sets in any case.
Consistency Is Key
The solution is I'm going to get in there and complete my strength training session just like I had planned. Why? For the reason that I know it'll be better for me in the end.
Although I can't perform at maximum it's fine. I'm still getting a TON of other benefits just by working out.
What's more, I'm building the not refraining from the habit.
What's more - you'll never continually make steady progress - you will have awesome days, not so awesome days, and downright crappy training days it's all just a part of the game.
The key is to follow through with what you started and reap the rewards for being consistent. - 15683
