So you hate tricep kickbacks and the hip abduction machine because they’re stupid, huh?

Okay, don’t do ’em!

But squats?

Deadlifts?

Burpees?

Whatever the exercise is, do you hate it only because it’s hard, either due to it challenging you or making you feel uncomfortable?

Are you working out too hard?

If you are, then you should stop.

Yup, your ears do not deceive you!

You heard that right.

Mr. You-Need-To-Work-Out-Harder is indeed telling you to stop working out hard every time you step inside the gym because, contrary to popular belief, your training sessions DON’T have to be gladiatorial life or death contests.

Sure, your workout shouldn’t exactly be a cakewalk.

But it shouldn’t be a vomit spewing affair with you bawling your eyes out in pain, at least not all the fucking time.

Why? Continue reading Why You Should Stop Working Out Too Hard
