<\/div>\n

Although my mind is not working like I want. The battery is not charging fully on…. So today I needed (more) willpower…… and it help me to push me towards my limits….. With squats I was able to squat 5×3 130kg (instead of 5×3 125kg last week) in 4 minutes and with bench press I pressed 5×3 105kg (instead of 100kg last week) also in 4 minutes. Shoulder grip I did 5×3 90kg (instead of 85kg last week) < 3 minutes \ud83d\ude42 Because I pushed myself today I know I have to do a step backwards tomorrow. The reason of this session is that I know my weekly ‘normal’ powerlifting session on Friday will be harder. And I know this will give me a mentally boost to get focused for the meet of May 21th \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

On my statement I had the following reaction: Do you just need as much willpower as real power? Like today my willpower generates my focus and still focus on my technique my real power is able to\u00a0execute the exercise.<\/p>\n

You can make the next sums:
\nWillpower + technique = generates more realpower\u00a0(in the end)
\nWillpower + less technique = generates less\u00a0realpower (in the end)
\nWillpower + realpower + technique = generates the most kilograms (in the end)
\nWillpower + realpower + less (poor) technique = generates less kilograms (in the end)<\/p>\n

So yes willpower (Mental Flexibility) is the step to success followed by technique………<\/p>\n
