The struggle feels so good!

I have been on the plan before about two years ago and it was great and I loved that it was backed in science, but there were times when I hit my six reps (a time when you are suppose to add 10 pounds to the barbell) that I would tell my self that you barely made that 6th rep, just keep the current weight. So, I would do this again and again it would be hard but I would complete 6 reps. I would be done with the workout and then the next week I would pick back up that weight and hit 6 reps again and it would be hard so I would repeat this until finally on the third and last set I would add 10 pounds.

This time around if I hit six I add 10. It is difficult and usually I can only do 4-5 reps that first set and sometimes only 3-4 but I move up and forward. I must say that doing this is so rewarding! It is definitely way more difficult and every time the weight is so heavy but I am flying through the weights and I will likely hit my previous personal best in 3-4 months! It took me nearly 9 months the other way! I am also starting to feel so strong! Love it! Plus, I think every time I do this I am gaining a mental strength to just face the difficulty and grind through it, because the reward is so much sweeter when I put in maximum effort!
