Call Us When You’ve Made Up Your Mind

I’ll often give a lifter who is deliberating whether or not to make another attempt at a heavy effort some silly advice. “Well, decide you’re going to make it before you try it.” It seems silly, because the point of their whole deliberation is they don’t know whether they can make the lift or not. If they knew they could make it, there wouldn’t be a question.

I stand by my advice. 

The way I see it is if you’re making a fringe-level effort, the only chance for success is an attempt that includes the conviction that you can do it. While you can surely have conviction and still fail, you can’t mathematically perform your best while simultaneously not believing you can. 

When it comes to accomplishing your most difficult work, conviction is necessary but not sufficient. This advice isn’t just for heavy back squats, either. The macro representation still holds true. Hell, the act of getting healthy and fit in general is inherently difficult. I’d argue it’s so difficult that you shouldn’t attempt it until you “decide you’re going to make it before you try it.”

Once you’ve made up your mind, text DEUCE to 855-909-1350.
