Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental

Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.

Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)

One rep, one set, and one step at a time.

Add 1–2 minutes each week and, overtime, not only will you be mentally tougher, but you’ll be more present, less stressed, and more productive in your everyday life.

The same way you get physically stronger…

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental

Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.

Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

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

While I don’t recommend giving up sleep for a week and doing thousands of pushups (unless you have a thing for broken bones and screwed up joints), I challenge you to create your own Hell Week.

7. Go Through Hell Week

It’s funny…

Try it… You’ll see.

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

Whether it’s total sobriety combined with waking up at 5 a.m., daily exercise, and no television for a week.Or simply one week of giving up your strongest addiction.

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?)

Whether it’s cigarettes, candy, pot, alcohol, or porn, pick a vice that you use everyday, and commit to giving it up for a short period of time.

There’s nothing quite like intentionally subjecting yourself to frigid waters and saying “No” to the wonderful warmth of a hot shower when it’s only one twist of the handle away requires insane amounts of discipline and grit.

It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

And it’s exactly how it sounds.
