Milestones. Every weight lifter has one in his head. There's certain numbers that seem so trivial yet we chase and chase and chase them.
Why? Why do we put them to such a standard? 405, 495, 585, 675, 800, 900, 1100? Everyone's got their number. That white whale you just can't seem to hit.
You know what, fuck the whale and fuck your pedestals.
I said it. I'm not just saying it to you, i'm saying it to me as well. Far too long have we had the mental battle with a certain weight. Okay fine, 405 is my whale at this moment. No more.
The harpoon has been covered.
More reps at 365-395. More sets. One should always strive to step forward but be careful of your footing. Too big of a step can result in a fall.
I will not touch 405 reverse grey band until I can nail dominate 395 for multiple sets and multiple reps. Call it what you will,but I'm going to stop self destructing over a freaking number.
Be gone you foolish mindset!
