You just crushed your last set in the gym and as you rack your weights you feel a surge bubbling within you. A surge that echoes deep within your being and screams: “I’ve got some gas left in my tank. I think I could wrestle a bear I could hammer out a few more sets.”
Most days this is where you would head over and rep out some bicep curls because when in doubt, work on the guns.
The surge swelling inside of you though is demanding more than endless reps of curls. You want to feel your muscles reach true failure as you collapse on the ground into a steaming pile of sweat and have to crawl out the door.
