When your body and mind absolutely demand it and you’ve been training hard with no breaks for a while.
To fit this criteria I’m talking months on with no days off, a mental feeling of “nah, fuck it”, and your body alternating between two modes…
Feed me and give me sleep.
You still do a minimal amount of PT daily. This is only referring to weights.
The Soviets trained 12 weeks on, one week off, I’m not saying I trained that hard, but a few days off sounds great right now. Then it’s back to frequent benching and to approach squatting every day from a slightly different angle.
It’s a great state to be in, when you’re so excited about something that you literally have boundless energy.
When you’re up til 2 or 3 in the morning and by no later than 530 you’re up with no drowsiness, just up awake, and ready.
To wake up already fully awake and motivated, fired up.
It’s the times like that when I’ve been told by low energy people that “You have too much energy in the morning”.
God damn I miss hearing that.
The thing is that state is how we are meant to be.
It’s how little kids generally are, but something that the toxins of society in most cases condition out of you.
However we are meant to be full of energy and gusto. Amped up for life.
A day shouldn’t start with smashing an alarm clock and grumbling your way to the coffee machine.
It’s meant to be started by kicking your feet over the edge of the bed, slamming your feet into the ground, opening the window, taking a long breath of fresh cool morning air as the birds chirp, excited for the day.
Maybe blast out a set of pushups too. Ahh, pushups.
I always found myself in this state when I was excited about where I was and expecting big things.
So…
I love where I’m at right now… contentment.
I’m fully expecting some great things from life in the near future… belief.
Work and your word, embrace life, both let and make it happen.
That visual in your head?
It will be reality, believe. Let and make it happen.
