strength?

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental

We can't afford AC and its so hot, theres literally pools of sweat on the couch (TMI sorry) what can I do? I have a ceiling fan but my room feels still feels like a sauna. Any tips to stay cool? I can't fall asleep at night😭

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

So how do you cultivate mental

It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

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

Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.

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

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

Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.

It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

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.

Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.

Try pushing yourself to see how long you can go and, eventually, you’ll wonder why you used climate control in the first place (maybe not… But you’ll still be mentally tougher).

toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.

I’ve often wondered why fans aren’t deployed on GBBO during warm weather? I’ve seen too many desserts melt (and bakers too…). (I live in Pompano Beach and we try to use fans in lieu of AC as much as possible).

7. Go Through Hell Week

And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Start with only 12–24 hours.

How are max different from medical and minimum security prisons?

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

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?)

2. One More Rep

Why do all the stupid people think Donald J. Trump is stupid?

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

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

Start this off by doing it for one day.

toughness.

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.

toughness is to wake up earlier.

Increase the amount of time you spend in the cold by only 10–30 seconds a week and, after a few months, you’ll be able to take 10 minute cold showers with ease.

When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.

toughness by turning the AC off.

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

Another great way to boost your mental

Do 21 pushups instead of 20.

It’s funny…

And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

So apply these strategies slowly. Take small steps and challenge yourself to get 1% tougher every day. After a year has gone by, you’ll be 365% tougher than you were the previous year.

It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

Challenge yourself to do something seemingly impossible for a short amount of time and you will walk away with more mental toughness than you’ve ever had before.

4. Meditate

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

Seriously.

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

But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

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

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

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.

Our lives are way too easy.

I’m just better at handling the suck.

But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.

Cold showers suck. I’ve taken them (almost) everyday for nearly 6 years and they don’t suck any less today than they did when I started.

strength isn’t rocket science.

Plain and simple.

This exercise will teach you to keep going even when things are hard and, if applied regularly, will help you become mentally tougher than any other person you know.
