Mindful training.

When I was a kid the guy that owned the gym I went too was in amazing shape. He was an old man to me back then. Probably the same age as me now!! But I used to always watch and admire him, his training was super slow with light enough weights. Back then all I wanted to do was lift the biggest weight I could for as many reps as I could. Training this way messed with my body over years. Shoulder injuries, back problems and generally not enjoying the gym, as most of the time I was trying to be better than my last session putting my head away. The ego is never happy. Where does it end? It ends when something goes pop and you become a has been. So many of them out there. These days I bring meditation into training. Breath and focus on every rep. Put as much isometric resistance on the targeted muscle group as possible. You gotta feel the burn, every rep squeeze and pause. Don't get caught up with how heavy your lifting or the numbers game eithe...
