How many of us really train hard. I mean we go into the gym have a set workout we think out. Some follow a path with the same thing day in and day out without thinking that the body has to have some kind of change. Most of us just go through the motions with the same amount of weight and reps. Without ever trying to beat the weight or reps.
If you want to "Win" in the gym you should strive to beat each weeks numbers in weight and or reps. This will tell you if you have progressed. If you stay with the same weight week in and week out. You are doing nothing. Some people are scared to take the extra step in stepping up their workout. I mean doing crazy stuff break the rules , Now I'm not talking about doing inverted leg presses on the smith machine but doing stuff like giant sets, rest pause sets. I bet none of you ever went one week doing a rep scheme like this : Don't count a single rep until it starts hurting. No Pain No Gain. By hurting I mean when you feel the muscle burning lactic acid shooting into the muscle. Don't even count until then and do your same amount of sets this way. Hell, you may do 15 reps on a given exercise but you can only count the reps until it hurts and for most that is going to be at number 8 or 9 when you are going 15 reps and going heavy enough. Try this and see if your "HARDCORE" enough.
I hear all these people talk about hardcore exercising. But I've yet to see many that damn near fall on the ground or walk away muscles burning so bad you feel like punching the wall because you have hit that Mark. Do some crazy stuff if you want to grow. Lets see how hardcore you really are. Don't worry about putting it on Facebook no one is gonna care. But it will care to you because deep inside you will know you gave everything you got. Most people spend to much time in the gym working out thinking a one hour workout is "HARDCORE" I can get you throwing up in less than 20 minutes with some of the stuff I've learned over the years and the way we still train to this day. Now I'm not bragging far from it. I love to see people working hard in the gym. I realize not everyone is going to be able to do these things but for those that like going around thinking they are HARDCORE. Please give me a break. I'm 41 Joints are full of arthritis and I'm overweight but I still workout harder in one workout than most 20 year olds. Why because I know what works and what does not work and going through the motions does not work. You want more bang for your buck. Up the intensity of your workouts and you will see tremendous gains. I'm tired of seeing guys complain about they are not growing not getting stronger. Then friend you are doing something wrong. Be willing to change it up. Be willing to fail at something. Be willing to understand you are not superman, but realize deep down inside you there is a monster waiting to get out and those weights will not push you back to earth. Learn to fight gravity and think you are stronger. Most people don't get stronger because they simply just don't think strong. Your mind is the ultimate muscle.
