This past week at the gym switched from free weights to barbell weights. I also added a couple of more to my total max lift. But I was struggling barely making the reps I was doing before.

I had taken a few extra days off beforehand so I thought my progress must be out of sync. It was discouraging.

Then after the third day of struggling and pushing hard, having to go down in max weights. I came to the realization that I forgot to account for the actual barbell.I was almost doing twice the amount I had been doing before.

Here's what I learned.

1. I'm still a noob when it comes to the gym. 🤦‍♂️
2. I was willing to push through. But I can dial it back a bit now before I break something.🤪
3. I'm stronger than I thought.💪You will never know the limits to your talents if you never use them.

If you bury head and only do what's comfortable. You'll stay in the same place never moving forward wasting the time and life that's been giving to you.

Push a little harder, dig a little deeper, do something uncomfortable. You can't say it's impossible unless you try to do it first.
