strength isn’t rocket science.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

6. Wake Up Earlier (Without Sleeping Less)
Not only will you be saving the environment and helping retrain your body to internally regulate your temperature, but you’ll become stronger by saying “no” to ease, and “yes” to adversity.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.

7. Go Through Hell Week
But if you’re doing this SOLELY to test your mental
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.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Plain and simple.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
4. Meditate

And it’s exactly how it sounds.
toughness.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
Within a few months, you’ll be astounded by your levels of mental
It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental
While I don’t recommend giving up sleep for a week and doing thousands of pushups (unless you have a thing for broken bones and screwed up joints), I challenge you to create your own Hell Week.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
I’m just better at handling the suck.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
toughness, then add some temptation and make it harder to say “No”.
There’s nothing quite like intentionally subjecting yourself to frigid waters and saying “No” to the wonderful warmth of a hot shower when it’s only one twist of the handle away requires insane amounts of discipline and grit.

Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
Cold showers suck. I’ve taken them (almost) everyday for nearly 6 years and they don’t suck any less today than they did when I started.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
2. One More Rep
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
Our lives are way too easy.
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
Try pushing yourself to see how long you can go and, eventually, you’ll wonder why you used climate control in the first place (maybe not… But you’ll still be mentally tougher).
Another great way to boost your mental
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
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?)
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental
It’s funny…
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
1. Cold Showers
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
So apply these strategies slowly. Take small steps and challenge yourself to get 1% tougher every day. After a year has gone by, you’ll be 365% tougher than you were the previous year.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
