First things first – it has always been “mind over matter” – the body goes where the mind tells it to. Stack that with the unfortunate fact that life can throw so many distractions at you, which can definitely get in the way of achieving your best workout sessions.
You need to focus on the here and now to get the most out of your workouts.
Your workout is a time to focus on YOU and what your body is doing to maintain the most effective form with every rep and push yourself to more REPS, in those sets. Cracked-out energy does not allow you to FOCUS on getting those nasty, gritty extra reps.
You need real FOCUSED energy – focused INTENTIONALITY – because those extra reps just aren’t going to magically happen if you keep on doing what you have always done before. As we like to say, you have to MINDFK your muscles to get those vital growth reps.
