We’ve all been there. Found ourselves at the gym and all of the sudden in a major time crunch. You’ve got 30 minutes, and then you’ve got to bounce because all of the sudden life is calling.
What do you do in this situation? Do you phone it in and decide you’ll just lift another day? Or do you nut up and decide that today is as good a day as any to get some quality lifting in, just with a bit more planning and a lot less rest.
Busting through a quick lift can be one of the most productive things you do not only for your physique, but it’s invaluable when it comes to building momentum and mental fortitude.
There’s a certain magic that comes with knowing that even though life tried to throw a curveball at you, shit doesn’t matter. You’ll adapt, move on, and still get your shit in.
It may not seem like much right now, but after a few times of that happening, it truly does wonders for your overall mindset, which inevitably leads to more success.
