DON’T do this on the bench press or squat rack if you don’t have a spotter (there’s nothing mentally tough about breaking your back or killing yourself ok?)

Plain and simple.

1. Cold Showers

But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

Increase the amount of time you spend in the cold by only 10–30 seconds a week and, after a few months, you’ll be able to take 10 minute cold showers with ease.

Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload

Add 1–2 minutes each week and, overtime, not only will you be mentally tougher, but you’ll be more present, less stressed, and more productive in your everyday life.

There’s nothing quite like intentionally subjecting yourself to frigid waters and saying “No” to the wonderful warmth of a hot shower when it’s only one twist of the handle away requires insane amounts of discipline and grit.

This exercise will teach you to keep going even when things are hard and, if applied regularly, will help you become mentally tougher than any other person you know.

Start this off by doing it for one day.

Whether it’s total sobriety combined with waking up at 5 a.m., daily exercise, and no television for a week.Or simply one week of giving up your strongest addiction.

One of the HARDEST thing you can do to build your mental

It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.

Whether it’s cigarettes, candy, pot, alcohol, or porn, pick a vice that you use everyday, and commit to giving it up for a short period of time.

While I don’t recommend giving up sleep for a week and doing thousands of pushups (unless you have a thing for broken bones and screwed up joints), I challenge you to create your own Hell Week.

3. Turn Off the AC

It’s funny…

Our lives are way too easy.

It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

Try it… You’ll see.

Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental

Leave a bowl of candy on the table. Leave an open pack of cigarettes in your office. Go to an, *ahem* “gentlemanly” website and leave it open in a minimized browser.

7. Go Through Hell Week

But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.

Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
