M3:D98 Starting Right

By Leave a Comment


What's on my mind today?

It is a new week and it reminds me of the importance of starting strong, starting right.  The first workout of the week sets the tone for all other workouts during the week.  Start off weak and you will have a bad week.  Start off strong and the sky's the limit.

I took this to heart today and had an awesome lifting session.  I simply love how pumped I get from a great workout like today's workout.

At the same time, it is important to start your week right in other ways as well.  I strongly believe that Monday just plain sets the tone for the coming week.  You can run into problems, but the way you handle them will determine how well your week goes.  Get stressed by every little thing and you are sure to have a very stressful week.  Take things in stride and nothing can upset your week.

Please remember this important principle as you progress through each new week.  You are sure to make better progress when you have the right attitude at the start of the week.  Remember, you have to continually be thinking about how you are going to avoid undoing all the good you've already done.  You have to be focused on the progress you have been making and on keeping that success moving ahead.  Nothing should stand in your way.  You will fight like a champion and win most of the battles, but certainly winning the war.  It is a foregone conclusion when you have the right attitude.

Accountability

Today was shoulder day.  I am now working on pre-exhaustion prior to the compound exercises.  I throw in an isolation exercise and superset it with a compound exercise.  The isolation exercise works your muscles just enough to make the compound exercise that much harder.  The rest time is kept low.  The sets are kept at 4 per exercise.  I worked my butt off today.  My shoulders are now completely and totally fried yet again and they just fully recovered from last week's torturous workout on Saturday.  They are now screaming at me yet again.
