Seems these days it’s getting harder to keep focused. As my gains plateaued some years ago, all I get if I train really hard is the same body – if I train less, I lose fullness and sharpness.
I seem to go through fazes of maintenance where I force myself to train – where I just maintain and not grow. My deadlift hasn’t moved in weight for over a year.
I’ll need to re-focus and just crank out high quality sets – it’s easy to overtrain so have to be aware of that.
I guess the best tip is just to clear your mind and focus on lifting – I always push to failure but sometimes there’s more focus needed to build muscle.
