Assumptions Can Lead To Limitations
So, the other day I wandered into the nasty ol’ gym with a like-minded workout pal.
Since I had all this equipment available to me that was heavier than I have at home, I thought I’d do a little experiment to see how heavy I could go for a 2-3 rep max set.
HOLY MACKERAL!! 
I’m a lot stronger than I thought I was.
That’s what you get for assuming.
I’ve been limiting my own progress with my preconceived notions about my abilities.
DANG IT !!!
I wonder where I’d be right now if I hadn’t done that? It’s anyone’s guess, really.
How about you? Are you holding yourself back with assumptions?
So, um… YAH!!
Off to FitnessTown I go, to get myself stocked up on stuff that actually CHALLENGES me the way it SHOULD!
I’ll not be catching myself making THAT mistake again!

I guess its just as easy to get stuck doing the same amount of reps and weights at home as it is in the gym.. Gotta keep pushing!

funnily I only made the assumption because I felt ‘tapped’ at the last rep of the last set every time…. if I’d TRIED a heavier weight I would have known. Its the assumption that killed me, not the venue where I work out! :-) thanks for the comment Zac!
