OK, must admit that there were times in first 50 days of program where i thought, why doesn't Patrick sensei intensify exercises and reps earlier on in the program, instead of the current pace of build-up, which at times, felt easier rather than harder. i often found it more difficult to just get to doing the exercises, but once doing them, felt like they could be completed OK.
now that we are finally into true PCP workouts though, i'm def feeling the struggle to complete the list and often hitting failure. i know it's a good kind of failure, but psychologically, still feel a sense of disappointment at not being able to finish a list (albeit a harder list) that up until now, had been do-able. i guess that's part of the re-training of the mind, and part of the program, in a healthy way.
i do worry though that i'm not getting enough quality and precision in my reps though so will def try to focus on the form. been doing 8 min abs and now will think about double skips, daunting and unpleasant as that sounds!
bring on that burn, baby burn!
yeah, I know what you mean Sam. When I need to, I stop for a moment or two and then carry on and try to finish the set, but its a real struggle sometimes. I guess things are only going to get tougher now that we're coming into the final 1/3 but I'm also hoping that is when the real results start to show.
ReplyDeleteKeep going strong buddy !
Don't worry dude it's designed to just get harder and harder. I know it's frustrating especially in the middle of PCP but as long as you just follow through suddenly you'll realize how much stronger you have become.
