7. Go Through Hell Week
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
So apply these strategies slowly. Take small steps and challenge yourself to get 1% tougher every day. After a year has gone by, you’ll be 365% tougher than you were the previous year.
What kind of person makes you think "how come there are people like that"?
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.

In the same way that you can’t go to the gym, deadlift 225 lbs. for 5 reps one week and then expect to lift 405 lbs. for 5 reps the next week, you can’t expect to just wake up one day and be as mentally strong
Not only will you be saving the environment and helping retrain your body to internally regulate your temperature, but you’ll become stronger by saying “no” to ease, and “yes” to adversity.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.

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?)
Another great way to boost your mental

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
Seriously.
Cold showers suck. I’ve taken them (almost) everyday for nearly 6 years and they don’t suck any less today than they did when I started.
Leave a bowl of candy on the table. Leave an open pack of cigarettes in your office. Go to an, *ahem* “gentlemanly” website and leave it open in a minimized browser.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .

Try it… You’ll see.

2. One More Rep
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
