good days and bad days

It’s sad but true that not everyday can be the best day of our lives, in real life and in the gym. A coach once told me, “You’ll have more bad days than good.” Her comment was in reference to training days. But either way I don’t believe that, because much of what makes a day “bad” is how it’s percieved.

Regardless, you can’t walk into the gym everyday expecting to put out the performance of a lifetime. You lose a little sleep here, you eat a little shitty there, you get in a fight with your significant other and all of a sudden your at less than a 100%, whether you know it or not.

Everything that takes place in your life outside the gym, gets carried in the gym. You can do your best to leave it at the front door, and that helps, but it’s not a cure. When your having one of those days where your performance is less than epic, do not exacerbate the REAL problem by stressing yourself with your frustration over said performance. Just be stoked you get to push weight with people you’ve come to know as friends and enjoy your time.

Then go home, sleep good, eat right, and destroy it the next day.
