The Extra Rep Mentality: Do More Than What’s Required 💪🔥

5d ago in OTHERS

It’s easy to hit your target and stop there. You’re supposed to do 10 reps, so you do 10… and then call it a day, right? But what if you trained yourself to always push for one more? 🤔

This mindset is about more than just building physical strength, it’s about training your mind to believe you can do more than you think. If you always stop where the plan ends, you’ll reinforce a habit of staying in your comfort zone. But by going beyond, even by just one rep, you’re proving to yourself every time that you’re capable of more. 🧠

When you consistently do more than what’s required, you build mental toughness and make breakthroughs feel more natural. This mentality translates to everything training, work, life. It’s a habit of excellence. 🙌

How to Start:

Next time you have a goal, 10 reps, 30 seconds, or even a set number of minutes... Push for 1 more.

1️⃣ Set the goal in your head.

2️⃣ Hit that target, but then push for one extra rep or second.

3️⃣ Repeat every session until it becomes second nature. 💥

Over time, this “extra rep” mentality becomes who you are, and you’ll find yourself pushing past barriers you never thought possible.
