I am not about say either job is harder than the other, I'm not about to say that either of the two different job types make a better or stronger individual in the gym. There are certain obvious carry-overs that come from a physical job but there are also advantages from the physical "rest" that a seated job gives an individual particularly in energy levels come gym time. Whatever your situation come gym time,when your geared up to go, Its ultimately important that you have not let your body forget what hard work is....
What do I mean? Recently I competed at a national level in my sport. I definitely consider myself a novice at it if I didn't before, mainly because of the unexpected intensity of the competition. I have competed before but this events laid out for this day were for guys at the peak of strength in this country. I was genuinely honored to be involved. I would definitely say my intensity in training has dropped noticeably. I never have a problem motivating myself to get to the gym but sometimes mid lift that is another story.
STAMP OUT YOUR WEAKNESSES
I have spoken before about positiveness and negativity in the gym and how greatly they affect performance.
The Two are hugely related You need to always tell yourself 110% because if you are always lifting 100% you are not edging on to new ground. Every time you enter the gym, Every time you approach the bar,
Every Time a Lift Sticks!!! Thats when you need that intensity!! tell your body its time to remember what hard work is. IF YOUR NOT SURPRISED BY WHAT YOU ACHIEVE, MAYBE YOUR NOT TRYING HARD ENOUGH!!! and if on reading this your reflex thoughts are along the lines of..... but its hard when your tired from work ..... or thats easy for you to say .... or something like that. Give up now!
BECAUSE YOUR IN THE WRONG PLACE!
