Tony spends a lot of time talking about intensity and "bringing it" and challenging yourself during workouts. Most people workout at too low of an intensity to bring about dramatic changes. For example, if you're doing curls and your goal is 10 and you hit rep 10 and you know you can do more, you need to raise your weight and your intensity; reps 8, 9, 10 it should be a battle. Your form should not suffer, but you should be pulling or pushing with everything you have to get out that last rep. This week we really need to focus on what level we're working ourselves. If it's a 3, 4, or 5, out of 10, it's time to step up our game. If we're at a 9 or 10, we need to back off a bit so we can make it through the workout.
It's week 3, which means we've done this rotation twice and our bodies are starting to get aclimated and know what to expect. Instead of coasting through to our recovery week we need to make sure we bring it. This weeks challenge is about being honest with ourselves, and raising the bar. Our goal for every workout should be 7 or 8 out of 10.
Any less and we're probably wasting our time.
