You Just Had a Crap Training Session. What Now?
Training days, you win some and lose some. On the days that you lose what do you do? Pack it up and move onto the next lift, decrease the weight, sit and spin your wheels? We are all going to have days when we walk in here and things just don't go our way. You swear some changed your plates for heavier ones, you just can't move fast, or you forgot how to do a clean. To make the most out of days and not let them just be a waste we really need to sit back and analyze the whole situation, so we can figure out where things went wrong. This way you can do your best to minimize poor training days in the future. Things to think of: do you have a big project you've been working on, fail to eat/drink enough, doing extra training on the side, compromise sleep, and the list could go on. Some of these things may be unavoidable, while others are within your control. Do what you can for the factors you can control, and remember off days will happen…. WOOSA
