“The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That’s what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they’ll go through the pain no matter what happens.” – Arnold (no need for a last name, right!)

What It Means to Suck

February 15, 2012

You know that thing you’re terrible at? I mean, god-awful, embarrassing as hell things at which you suck-suck-suck.  We all got ‘em.

If your goal is to get better as an athlete, then your highest return on investment is to improve the things that are your weaknesses rather than exercising your strengths.  Logically, it makes sense as you have so much more room to improve in your sucks than your strengths.  It could be hip mobility, power cleans, pull-ups, shoulder mobility, overhead squats, push-ups — anything.

The temptation in a group class is to hide your weaknesses. Or bug the instructor to let you out of doing exercise “x”.

Don’t do it. Love your limitations and work ‘em. Hug them and squeeze them until they’re better… Like this:
