Why You Should Go Into Tightness In Training

Why You Should Go Into Tightness In Training

When your body hurts or you feel tired or the thing is burning or when literally whatever that thing you think is wrong with you or stopping you is happening

Like if you think your shoulder pain is stopping you. Or you think your elbow pain is stopping you. Or you think your inability to stick to something is stopping you.

WHEN THESE THINGS POP UP IN TRAINING

Keep going

Go through it

Find some way to stay in it

Find some way to keep going through it

Until that thing is no longer there

Quite literally

Do not RESPOND to the pain. To the burning. To the discomfort

Get THROUGH it

Physiologically, lets say your trap is tight and it’s burning and hurting when you’re doing the wall sit holds above - like it feels like you cannot control it. Great - keep going. What will happen is it’ll get more and more tight, it’ll rise more and more, it might start to cramp. Etc etc etc. eventually, if you actually stay in it, it’ll release. It’ll go away. And you’ll now have more access to it

That’s what i mean

Stay in it

And it will dissipate

And now you’ll have more control over it
