This month on VeganBodybuilding.com I shared my two favorite techniques for turning around bad workouts. We all have days when we just don’t want to be in the gym (usually when we’re about to step under a heavy squat bar, for example…) and I am no different. But – there are steps you can take to get the most out of even these bad gym days with a short and intense workout!  Here’s an excerpt:

“One day, I was training chest and back, and it was a really mediocre workout. A stubborn shoulder injury was holding me back on pull-ups, and I hadn’t gotten enough sleep all week, so I was on the verge of calling it a day and heading home when a seemingly unrelated and trivial thing happened. I received a message that I needed to wrap things up and head home within the next 10 minutes or so. I thought to myself, “OK, two or three more sets to get the job done!” and then hit my next set of dumbbell incline presses, and suddenly it was like I was doing a whole new workout! I was able to complete twice as many reps as I had with the previous set! I wound up increasing the weight I was using and getting in two more solid sets, with minimal rest, before heading home. As I was leaving the gym, I had a great pump and I could tell I was going to be sore. So what happened here?”
