7. Go Through Hell Week

Why cant I feel anything in my sleep? I cannot even feel myself moving, breathing, and swallowing saliva! I cannot even hear anything, not even my alarm! Some people that I've been with says that I'm moving a lot in my sleep, how can I stop it?

But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.

The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.

It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

4. Meditate

Start now, start small, and work your way up.

It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental

Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.

Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.

DON’T do this on the bench press or squat rack if you don’t have a spotter (there’s nothing mentally tough about breaking your back or killing yourself ok?)
