What up!

I wanna talk about FATIGUE a little bit.

First of all, let me ask you these questions, answer them truthfully:

While you where training, have you ever got to the point to where you couldn’t go 1 more second?

During your training, have you been to the absolute edge to where you thought you may just die?

During competition, have you ever wanted to rest so bad you would almost just rather quit?

Have you been to the point to where you knew, in your heart that you could have gave it 1 more rep, went a few more steps, gone a few more seconds, but you didn’t?

Honestly answer these questions, then determine what it was that persuaded your answer.

It’s called FATIGUE.

If you train hard, play hard, and go hard you know what I’m talking about.

It’s when your muscles burn, your heart pounds, and your lungs can’t seem to suck in enough air for you to breathe.

It’s the thing that causes you to second guess why it is your training as hard as you are.

It’ll take those who “talk the talk” and put them into their place.

It’ll take the strong and brave and turn them into a weak and scared.

Fatigue will make cowards of us all.

That’s how the old saying goes…

I’ve heard it before as I’m sure you have too.

BUT – How will you react to this yourself??

Only the true warriors will look fatigue in the face and say “F**K YOU!”

This makes a champion!

To the few people out there, who have the GUTS, COURAGE, and FORTITUDE, YOU will PREVAIL!

Something very important happens to a person when they face their fear caused by their fatigue.

I say when you push yourself so far beyond your limits that you change in many ways.

Changing your mental strength is one of the ways we change.

Changing your mental strength will ultimately change YOU as a whole.

It’s that point of a workout where you know you have one more round, one more rep, or just a few more secs…

What do you do?

Will you quit?

You can be the only judge and the only one that truly knows if you gave it 110% in the face of fatigue.

IT’S A BATTLE!

Stand up, take control!

Will fatigue make you a coward?

Get Forged Strong!
