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.

But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

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?)

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
