Between work, being mostly fasted, and PF for a moment I wonder if I’m good to drive home.
The last time I pushed to this place was the SoCal bodybuilding gym about 15 months back. The true inspiration behind, and practice of the poptarts post.
It goes to show that you can make anywhere work.
You haven’t “gymed” right until you’ve experienced wondering if you’re going to be good to drive home.
Most never reach that level of intensity.
The wrestling room teaches you, and sometimes you’ll still reach that zone.
It’s in you. It’s in all of us, when we reach down inside and embrace it.
Fasting, working, training. It is what it is, it’s what I do.
(“Strict” diet no longer sounds like a hardship to me. With an increase in maturity, I’ve learned to view it all as the process, and to love it all.)
That intensity to where you’re spent, cramping a little, and a bit woozy is where I’ve found the greatest levels of progress to come from.
That spot day after day doing what others won’t because you’re not others.
I don’t suggest you go there, unless you must. We don’t get to that level because we’re normal or ever were.
Take it where you will.
Planet Fitness is enough of a gym. You can get in “hardcore” workouts, and achieve “hardcore” results there.
It’s fully on you. Environment is what you make of it.
You get out what you put in.
I got a good full body workout, and meditated, back and forth, back and forth, between the two.
Fighting off passing out by meditation to Wes Watson’s “gate money and a vision”, and “the shu”, then more training volume.
My physicality and physique are improving with the combination of labor and pf.
Being in my own skin I usually don’t notice. I do feel strong. Lately I’ve been getting comments. My pants are more loose, my bodyweight is up, and I see my potential to lean out bringing my physique to another level.
It might be “hardcore”, but there’s play.
Focusing on “conditioned” strength, and experimenting with stimulus I’ve never before done.
Feel good workouts on top of labor physicality, eating good food, and embracing a strong mindset.
Until tommorow,
Persistence & Tenacity
