Thoughtful Tuesday - 4

Okay so technically it is Wednesday morning but hey no ones perfect. Especially me! Anyway, here it is so lets just pretend it's still Tuesday shall we? It sure is early enough!

On Monday I had my weekly beasting session of deadlifts. I will at some stage get a photo or video up of me doing some deadlifts so you can see the awesomeness! ;-) I was extremely surprised at how relatively unproblamatic the whole thing went. I mean usually there is at least one hiccup (like last week) or at least a couple of lifts are a bit slow and feel tougher than they should. This week though nothing, zip, nada, niente. Even yesterday with my chest workout which to be honest is usually slow and hard was a breeze and have done better than I've done in a long while.

So what gives?

I think that I have basically been in a good mood and that has transferred back in to my training. I can't put my finger on it, it might be the fact that summer has finally returned or that I had a particularly nice weekend. Like I said I'm not sure but this is the only explaination I can give. Not much else has changed from last week to this apart from the fact I feel that I'm in a slightly better mood this week.

So there it is, my best training tool so far, a good mood! Now I know that it is easier said than done to be happy and I know you can't be happy all the time. At least though if you try to not let things get you down so much, learn to accept things that aren't in your control and move on. The things you can control, take responsibility for them, own them and if you're not happy with something, change it so you are!
