M5:D55 (D463) Motivation by Competition
 | ||
 How competitive are you? Do you hate to lose? Are you always looking for a way to win when playing a sport or other game? If so, using competition to motivate yourself will come naturally to you. Competition is my favorite motivational approach. I use it in every single workout. What I do is write down my workout in my log before going to the gym. I also note the weights I want to use for each lift prior to hitting the gym. With these notes in place I use them to compete against my plan every single workout. I find that I push alot harder with this methodology. The approach is alot of fun because it immediately gets you competing with yourself. I hate losing, so I find that I beat my numbers 99.9% of the time. It is a great feeling of accomplishment when I am competing with myself. If is a great way to make giant gains. You can turn the competition into a game. You can see how many times you are able to beat the numbers. You can post “stretch” numbers on your log and then attempt to hit them. You can turn things around in your workout by making a strong effort to beat your previous workout. As training should be progressive, this type of approach is extremely natural. This Sunday I am going to be posting another post about my Powerful Reasons Why. It will be the subject of my video podcast, so don’t miss it! | ||
