The Quitter and The Attacker - The Two Training Minds
Friday was jump rope 1,000 times and 1,000 pushups, Saturday's brutal workout was 1,000 star jumpers and 1,000 step ups on 15" bench total time was 1 hour and 25 minutes.
Anyone who thinks it might be easy go ahead give it a try.
My plan changes from time to time when I train.
Today I planned to do 1,000 Star Jumpers (Not the Australia jumping jack) in 1 hour and that was it.
Finished in 49 minutes, objective accomplished! Hot and sweaty heavy legs, I decided to do 500 step ups (15"bench) just for good measure finished 500 and just went ahead and did another 500 finishing off with 1,000 total, a pretty tough work out testing myself physically and mentally.
What is tough is so many people listen to music, I don't when I test myself, it is brutal when it's just you and your mind.
When you are pushing yourself hard you have two minds the quitter and the attacking mind.
The quitting mind is telling you your body is tired, stop you can't go on, you might fall over and die.
The attacking mind will stop at almost nothing to accomplish what is set in front of it.
Pain won't stop it! But the quitter mind is the mind most people tend to let control them.
The quitting mind tells them they are tired they believe it and quit.
Training in solitude is the toughest type of training.
You have to rely on yourself and the attacking mind to get through a brutal training session.
Most people train with others to push them; they are feeding off the juice of someone else.
Everyone does better with an audience.
You want to know where you stand mentally train in solitude and see which mind shows up first.
You can have great intentions, starting out motivated, and fired up, how far can you, all alone pushing yourself? As soon as you really start pushing and start to hurt which mind shows up? No doubt it will be the quitter, and no one will ever know but you, but my question is how many times will you let yourself of the hook? Did you accomplish your goal? If not, did you at least push as hard as possible trying to? Quitting on yourself is the ultimate failure, I train and fight between both minds in tough situations, I do know that for me to quit would be the ultimate failure to me, right no one would know, I would know! Failure is not quitting, but quitting is being weak.
Never quit until you did everything possible to accomplish what you set out to do.
