The only time it’s ok to not go hard or skip a workout due to not being motivated…

is when you really aren’t serious about accomplishing your goals.

[Mike Dewar @mikejdewar]

Sometimes I’ll tell my clients to do one set (10-20 reps) of a given weight to voluntary max failure.

WHY?

1) I see what “failure” means to them
2) I see how well they can control their form when tired
3) I now have a baseline to assess how hard they push themselves

[Mike Dewar @mikejdewar]

Remember, the human body loves homeostasis…

But in order to see physical change, you need to force your BODY out of that comfort zone.

How?

Understand that most of the time your body is able to push harder, but your mind (and your thoughts) is resistant.

Work harder.

While adding new exercises can be “fun” and keep you from being “bored”, adding them shouldn’t come at the expense of removing a more demanding movement that is still working in your program. #workout #personaltrainer #strengthcoach

Sport specifity definetly has it’s place in the weight room.

That said, so does increasing force production and movement patterns with heavy loads, high velocities, and “basic movements”.
