This is a short post, because its only about one thing that everybody should be asking themselves during their workout.
And the question is: “Is it safe?”
Is the next rep going to be safe? Can I sustain another 5 mins at this pace? What does hitting my PRs today mean in the long run?
The 1 extra rep will bring you 0.01% closer to your goal. Screwing it up can take you 30% (or more) away from it.
But if you stack all those 0.01%s, you will get very far. So my point is, constantly question yourself regarding your limits. Know how far you can push. You must be able to do this so constantly that if you think that you needed to abandon a set/ stop the workout, you’d do it in a heartbeat. The converse is true if you think that you can push it.
Lastly, no shame. You may look ridiculous giving yourself the red card to halt your set, but at least you won’t be injured.
