The gym is an amusement park and your progress is a roller coaster ride.
There will also be days you feel down low and pathetic.
Some days everything feels hard.
Some days your motivation is absent.
Some days you feel you can't do what you did just a month ago.
Some days you feel you aren't getting better at an exercise.
Some days you feel you are beginning to go backwards.
Some days you think "How did I do this before?" or "I'll never be able to do this."
I've been there so many times.
Confidence is low.
Frustration is high.
These are the hardest days to stay the course.
On days like these, it is important to improve upon something, even though it will feel insignificant.
Don't be picky with what it is...
It doesn't have to be hoisting max weight.
It may be cranking out more reps than before.
Or it may be an extra set.
It might even be the use of better form.
Even if the rest of your workout was junk, if you're able to PR in anything for the day, it is a job well done.
The seemingly insignificant daily improvements are what lead to long term successes.
Set some kind of PR today.
Do something today that you didn't do yesterday.
