It’s testing week again! This week it’s important to make as many days as possible and record your scores, so that we can see what your personal records are.
When you’re testing for personal records, remember it’s not a true test unless you push yourself to failure!
Failure means, that you tried and actually couldn’t complete the rep, not just that you completed one and felt like that was good enough.
The goal is to actually push yourself until you fail. This does several things….
1) It allows us to know truly what you can do. If you don’t actually push to that point, you’ll be just guessing at what you could actually accomplish.
2) It teaches you how to engage everything you have. This will translate into better performance in the future because you’ll teach your brain how to fire more muscles to accomplish a task. This is called recruitment of your muscle fibers.
3) You’ll never know what your limits are until you’re willing to push past them. The greatest adaptations come outside of your comfort zone.
Happy PR’ing!
