The Daily Squat Challenge, How your body feels is a lie
I can't tell you how many times I have felt like crap going into the gym, felt weak during warm-up sets, and then broke a personal record despite being certain that the weight would staple me to the floor. Hell, I have even broken pr's hung over and just oozing booze out of my pores (I definitely don't recommend drinking if you are into getting awesome, but sometimes I get carried away).
The fact is, John Broz is right when he says that how the body feels is a lie. Your body will lie to you in an attempt to trick you into resting. If you can over come that urge to lie on the couch and watch Jersey Shore and train instead, you will probably realize better gains. I say probably because everyone is different, but generally speaking, the guy who trains the hardest and most frequently will be the strongest. Not the guy who is always afraid of overtraining.
Here are some simple training sessions I did to prepare myself for an upcoming strongman contest.
