Anger is a very extreme emotional response. At the same time, it can be used to motivate you, but only during the moment. Anger is not something that can motivate you in the long term, but during your gym trip you can use anger to motivate yourself. When you hit the gym and are feeling angry about something you can use that to push yourself even harder. I have hit some of my biggest lifts during times of anger. I transfer my feelings of anger into my workout. I use those feelings to dig down deeper. It is an amazing motivational tool to use anger to get bigger and bigger lifts. I am extremely focused when I am angry. This goes in my favor at at the gym. In the end the use of anger to motivate myself actually puts me in a better mood. The endorphins in my blood help me to feel better and this is all from the exercising. It is nice to be able to use anger in such a positive way. The intensity it brings to my workouts is also amazing. There have even been times when I am attempting a big lift that I try to make myself angry to give myself an edge. It works every single time. |

Mike’s Workout Log: Matty’s Workout Log: Do you want to torture your arms? Give the one rep chin up and one rep dip a try. 60 seconds to complete one set of a chin up is an amazingly wonderful torture. Imagine taking 30 seconds to pull yourself up and then another 30 seconds to lower yourself? It is insane! By the time I had finished the first 2 supersets my arms were so pumped. I swear that I’ve grown in just two workouts! Don’t be too impressed with Matty’s improvements today. He was having a horrible day the previous workout and this time he simply showed up and worked hard. |
