Mondays are notoriously tough days. Doesn’t matter if you’re on the assembly line at a GM plant or seeing patients at a VA clinic, if you’ve traveled for the weekend and maybe arrived home later than normal, you’re dragging. It’s hard enough on the job, what happens in the gym on Mondays?
Probably the same sort of things. Cut corners, longer breaks, less effort. You get the picture, right? I mean, there’s a reason why people say, “Sure looks and feels like my car came off the line on a Monday.” Sorry, that was a cheap shot, but if you’re stopping at three sets when you typically crank out five, you’ve just proved my point.
Challenging Mondays need to be challenged face on with a grit and determination that says, “Regardless of how I feel, I’m going to really push myself and not give in to the excuses of being too tired.”
