Day 32 down. 🔥 (yesterday)
Yesterday was Day 1 of my cycle and I was wiped out when I got home from work.
I gave myself permission to lay down and rest for a couple hours… and then I finally said, “F* it. Let’s do this.”
Workout:
20 min EMOM
2-handed swings — sets of 5 @ 32kg
Then:
5 TGUs L/R (10 total) @ 20kg
And I felt great afterwards.
This is why the lesson isn’t “always push” or “always rest.” It’s knowing the difference.
Sometimes you need to listen to your body and recover.
And sometimes the sensation of fatigue is actually the quit ceiling you’ve practiced — and the only way to change it is to do the thing you don’t feel like doing.
Fatigue, like pain, is an experience the brain creates to modify behavior. And if you’ve practiced staying comfortable, your capacity won’t expand unless you stop letting “how you feel” always dictate what you do.
I learned that lesson first in recovery. For years I had to do things that contradicted what I felt like doing.
If neuroscience has taught me anything, it’s that the brain is lazy and loves to conserve energy — so it will create sensations to try to keep you the same.
Sometimes it’s wisdom to rest. Other times it’s a trap.
