Your Wins
I want to hear from you these last 7 days. Not about a massive transformation. Not about a PR. Just one thing, one small win from the last 7 days. Maybe you got to the gym when you didn't feel like it. Maybe you swapped out one bad meal. Maybe you finally dropped the weight and actually felt the muscle working. Small wins build big men. Drop yours below. Seriously. This community runs on the guys who show up and share what's real. Someone in here needs to hear that it's possible. Comment your win below 👇

I added more weight to the dumbbell for chest press and still felt safe doing 14-15 reps. Those steering muscles that have been ignored for so many years did what they should do and I felt the chest muscle really working. The best part is that since I switch from bench press to dumbbells the shoulder pain has gone away. Without you I would probably still struggle with the shoulder pain. Thx.

Do it on bad days, as long as nothing else prevents you from doing it.
I'm having a bad day today. Tired and zero energy. I'll spare you the reasons. I worked from home again today, and when it was time to exercise, I just didn't want to do it. My mind and body were screaming no. Somehow, I just managed to drag myself to my home gym and got it done anyway. I am still tired, and the exercise didn't lift my energy, but I am still satisfied I got it done. It wasn't even a bad workout, so I know my routine is working. I'm sharing this in the hope that you will feel inspired and think about this story when you're tempted to skip a workout. You aren't alone with that feeling, and it is entirely possible to push through and get the work done, even on the bad days. In conclusion: Train on the bad days, if you aren't injured. Just get it done! 👍

Cardio?
When you have a full time job and on the side are part of a startup then time for exercise is limited. When you on top of that deal with a son with extreme OCD daily life is not easy. I still manage to do workout lifting weights, but cardio is skipped. I wonder how other deal with balancing job, workout and cardio?

Depending on what exercise it is I do on the last rep. I do not time it. It can last up to 30 seconds. The point is to go "beyond" failure. Hold it and release as slow as possible. I just did it 5 minuttes ago.

@Justin Alterowitz there is no right number. Hold and release as slow as possible on the last rep or last two reps instead. You should struggle and fight to hold that weight as long as possible. If you do negatives slowly on each rep then 10 seconds is too long. I would like Keith say 3-5 seconds where 5 seconds is max. What matters is that the movement feels natural.

What matters is that you do it now. Be consistent and do your workout 3-5 days a week. At least 20 minuttes each time. Skip days you don't feel well and days you need for recovery. Don't be hard on yourself. Accept bad days where you can hardly lift anything. Do it anyway. It will form a habit and soon you can't live without your workout!
