Why do I sweat a great deal while exercising the same on some days and not so much on others?

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?)
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.

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

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental

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).

When you visit a store, do you go to shop or buy?
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
toughness is to wake up earlier.

Why do people still think Michael Jackson was guilty?
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
What is the most overrated pleasure? Why?
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.
4. Meditate
Seriously.
Have you ever had sex with your female cousin? How did it start?
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
7. Go Through Hell Week
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
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
1. Cold Showers
2. One More Rep
3. Turn Off the AC
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Add 1–2 minutes each week and, overtime, not only will you be mentally tougher, but you’ll be more present, less stressed, and more productive in your everyday life.
Whether it’s cigarettes, candy, pot, alcohol, or porn, pick a vice that you use everyday, and commit to giving it up for a short period of time.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
5. Give Up a Vice
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.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
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.

Another great way to boost your mental
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
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.
It’s funny…
Our lives are way too easy.

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.
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Plain and simple.
So how do you cultivate mental
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.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
If you are seriously wanting to give up a vice (like smoking or drinking), you’ll want to throw away anything that reminds you of it.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
