Mediocrity is useless. Theres no point to it and yet thats what we aim for in so many areas of our lives. Our training is no different. Some of that has to do with how we approach our training. But a lot of it has to do with the lack of understand just how important 1 workout is.
Walking into the gym and simply doing what you have written down is a great way to have a mediocre workout. Yes, you got it done. But doing something isnt the point. Its how you do it that makes it average or Legendary.
I can play basketball, but the way in which Michael Jordan plays the game is Legendary. Its a work of art. I can fight, but the way Bruce Lee fought was beautiful. And Bruce Lee is a Legend.
So how do we walk into that gym the place weve been a thousand times and do something that is extraordinary?
We just need to identify it and understand it. We are in the gym for an incredibly important reason. Incredibly important. Were not just working out because we know we should, or because we want to look good. Were working out to save our lives, but also to give us the best opportunity at a great life. Were training because building a better performing, healthier, and better-looking body gives us confidence.
. If I didnt have confidence, I wouldnt be doing my dream job. If Michael Jordan didnt have confidence, we wouldnt know who Michael Jordan is. Before anyone can have faith in you, you first have to have faith in yourself. And believe it or not, training absolutely helps us accomplish this.
Were training because we never know if well be put in a situation where we have to try and save a life. The kind of condition were in will determine whether or not well be successful. Imagine if its your wife or your child? Keep that in mind every time you walk into the gym and youll achieve greatness.
Were training because of our family. By working our hardest were adding years to our lives. Quality years. Years filled with energy and passion where we can give everything we have to our families. If training for yourself isnt enough to inspire you, understand the other people in your life that will benefit from you being a healthier, stronger, and more confident person.
Within every set theres a point where it gets painful. A couple reps after that we quit. What we didnt know, is that the extra 2, 3 or even 1 rep that we could have done makes the most difference.
Its the pain we feel in our muscles that builds muscle. Its the pain we feel in our lungs that helps them expand. Its pain that gives us a healthier heart, more confidence, and a better, longer life. Always try and do one more.
