There’s nothing like the anticipation of the #vo2max testing. It’s a horrible experience because the test doesn’t end until you’re absolutely spent and have to quit.
-
But then again, shouldn’t you be excited about these kinds of situations? Think about it.
-
When was the last time you engaged in an activity or workout that didn’t have a finish line, a set count, a rep count? The only way for the activity to be over was for you to get to the breaking point and you have to quit?
-
It’s those moments right before the breaking point that is called “outside your comfort zone.”
-
This particular test, I got to the point at which modern science and research said the body should be shutting down and the test subject should be quitting and then I preceded to go 2 min 12 seconds after that.
-
I don’t say this to brag. But what would have happened if I had known that I was  past the point I was supposed to go? Ignorance is bliss in these types of situations and the deeper you push yourself into the unknown, the quicker you can find that savage that is inside of you.
-
Find a way to get outside of your comfort zone today.
-
See you at the top!
