Mental
I’m just better at handling the suck.
Whether it’s total sobriety combined with waking up at 5 a.m., daily exercise, and no television for a week.Or simply one week of giving up your strongest addiction.
Increase the amount of time you spend in the cold by only 10–30 seconds a week and, after a few months, you’ll be able to take 10 minute cold showers with ease.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Not only will you be saving the environment and helping retrain your body to internally regulate your temperature, but you’ll become stronger by saying “no” to ease, and “yes” to adversity.
What does it mean when someone says "I'm feeling frisky"?
DON’T do this on the bench press or squat rack if you don’t have a spotter (there’s nothing mentally tough about breaking your back or killing yourself ok?)
toughness is to meditate.
So apply these strategies slowly. Take small steps and challenge yourself to get 1% tougher every day. After a year has gone by, you’ll be 365% tougher than you were the previous year.
One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental
Add 1–2 minutes each week and, overtime, not only will you be mentally tougher, but you’ll be more present, less stressed, and more productive in your everyday life.
Challenge yourself to do something seemingly impossible for a short amount of time and you will walk away with more mental toughness than you’ve ever had before.
Do most men prefer curvy women or skinny women?
If you are seriously wanting to give up a vice (like smoking or drinking), you’ll want to throw away anything that reminds you of it.
Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
The majority of recruits quit. Those who don’t leave the evolution knowing that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.

Seriously.
Try it… You’ll see.
The same way you get physically stronger…

Another great way to boost your mental

strength over time.
So how do you cultivate mental

Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
Whether it’s cigarettes, candy, pot, alcohol, or porn, pick a vice that you use everyday, and commit to giving it up for a short period of time.

Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
5. Give Up a Vice
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
toughness is to wake up earlier.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
In the Navy SEAL training program, there’s an event known as hell week.
Our lives are way too easy.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Try pushing yourself to see how long you can go and, eventually, you’ll wonder why you used climate control in the first place (maybe not… But you’ll still be mentally tougher).
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
It’s funny…
4. Meditate
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
toughness by turning the AC off.
Cold showers suck. I’ve taken them (almost) everyday for nearly 6 years and they don’t suck any less today than they did when I started.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
strength isn’t rocket science.
In the same way that you can’t go to the gym, deadlift 225 lbs. for 5 reps one week and then expect to lift 405 lbs. for 5 reps the next week, you can’t expect to just wake up one day and be as mentally strong
Plain and simple.
3. Turn Off the AC
This exercise will teach you to keep going even when things are hard and, if applied regularly, will help you become mentally tougher than any other person you know.
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
toughness.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
2. One More Rep
6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
7. Go Through Hell Week
Start with only 12–24 hours.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
strength?
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
While I don’t recommend giving up sleep for a week and doing thousands of pushups (unless you have a thing for broken bones and screwed up joints), I challenge you to create your own Hell Week.

1. Cold Showers
There’s nothing quite like intentionally subjecting yourself to frigid waters and saying “No” to the wonderful warmth of a hot shower when it’s only one twist of the handle away requires insane amounts of discipline and grit.
