>>5973059Only thing I want to say is the pushups things is great. I was training for the army (which I've now left and into a white collar job) and that was my springboard as a work ethic to do everything in life.
I got to the point where I hit 100 pushups once and then I ended up playing sport, lifting weights, eating better, sorting my finances, doing better with chicks etc but it all comes back to that time where I said "fuck it" and got down in my bedroom doing as many pushups as I could.
One thing I would say is scrap the number. If you leave a number in your head you're going to quit too early and so on. The last few reps in most exercises is where the impact is, I would swap to just being in competition with yourself. Keep pushing yourself to do just a couple more and not only will your pushups and fitness get better but it will flow into other parts of your life.
Once thing I noticed and they also reminded me of in the army was that if you have a figure in your head the closer you get to that figure the more your body is going to start aching and wanting you to stop. You can do way more over time if you just focus and keep going, also weirdly enough forcing yourself to smile helps with the pain as well it's a weird chemical release things, endorphines or something along those lines.
You know the truth each day and the only thing that matters is who you're going to be tomorrow. When you're doing pushups it should just be you and that fucking ground, no set goal just more, no outside opinions..fuck them, just you and what you're accomplishing while the other guy is doing nothing.
I was a proper scared introvert, got out of speeches in school etc. Now along with other things I did years ago I've got the girl, I can sell on the phone to strangers in their homes/a crowd, I'm fit, confident and just basically a way better version of myself. That motivates me to keep going day after day to see who I'll be in 10 years.
