Checking Your Ego At The Door | Gym Mentality

The gym for me has never been about stroking my ego, but rather about trying to compete with my potential. There have been plenty of people who have motivated this state of mind (Greg Plitt, Lazar etc) and they have all contributed to helping me become a better person, not just a better weight lifter.

Many people have said to me “Well doing 5 more pushups or pushing 10 more pounds doesn’t prove anything.” And to a certain extent, they are completely right. It doesn’t. However, besides the physical strength you gain from that experience, you have to consider the mental side of the lift. What if that person was ready to give up and then they pushed themselves with more reps or more weight? 

Then…yes…then that really means something. 

Because if they train their mind to push harder when things get tough, that will transfer into every other facet of life. That’s why I go to the gym…to train my mind, the body just follows.
