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
toughness is to wake up earlier.
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?)
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

Start this off by doing it for one day.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
