The pain you feel today is the strength you feel tomorrow. For every challenge encountered there is opportunity for growth. The burning in your arms and legs during the workout, the sore muscles the day after… feeling these things might not be very pleasant but learn to love it. These are signs that you’re working out hard enough to become stronger. Everything you do up to the point where you start to feel the burn is just preparation for growth to happen. It’s when you want to give up the most that you must keep going just a little bit longer in order for improvement to occur. If you’re doing 10 reps with a heavy weight, the rep that will produce the most amount of growth is rep that forces you to give everything you have. In this case, it’s usually rep #15. This is why you can’t get stronger doing 100 reps with a potato chip. The challenge isn’t big enough to demand muscle growth, belly growth maybe, but not muscle growth. Learn to love the pain. As they say, “No pain, no gain.”
