Stress is the word of the week. I have been using it to fuel my training this whole week.
Yesterday was no exception. I decided to try deading heavy again and the stress began to fade away after each set. You get into a certain zone and nothing outside of the gym can bother you anymore. You got your headphones bumping and your mind is focused on nothing but pushing as much weight as you can.
