But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
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.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .

3. Turn Off the AC
Try pushing yourself to see how long you can go and, eventually, you’ll wonder why you used climate control in the first place (maybe not… But you’ll still be mentally tougher).

Why do I feel worthless most of the time?
So apply these strategies slowly. Take small steps and challenge yourself to get 1% tougher every day. After a year has gone by, you’ll be 365% tougher than you were the previous year.
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
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.

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.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
Try it… You’ll see.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
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.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.

Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Another great way to boost your mental
toughness is to wake up earlier.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

Start now, start small, and work your way up.
Seriously.
Start with only 12–24 hours.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Not only will you be saving the environment and helping retrain your body to internally regulate your temperature, but you’ll become stronger by saying “no” to ease, and “yes” to adversity.

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.
2. 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.
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?)
7. Go Through Hell Week
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
Challenge yourself to do something seemingly impossible for a short amount of time and you will walk away with more mental toughness than you’ve ever had before.
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.

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

It’s funny…
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
In the same way that you can’t go to the gym, deadlift 225 lbs. for 5 reps one week and then expect to lift 405 lbs. for 5 reps the next week, you can’t expect to just wake up one day and be as mentally strong
