Sometimes you are stronger than you feel. Remember, how the body feels is a lie!
Your warm-ups feel heavy, you might even miss a heavy attempt that you pretty much always nail.
Then, just when you are about to throw in the towel and turn your training session into a light day, your nervous system and body finally wake up and you hit a new personal record.
The moral of the story is, never call your workout or meet a bad one until it is completely over and you are in the car ride home.
Take today's training session for example. I missed a squat that should have been a sure thing, then missed several attempts with an atlas stone, and then bam! hit a new PR for height with the same stone I kept dropping.
It's not over till it's over, so stay positive and keep trying for new records every training session.
