My trainer made some mocking comment after I failed to complete a set on Wednesday, and insisted I use weight-lifting straps because my grip had failed. This made me angry. The next set, I pushed myself as hard as I possibly could, and I finished it - without the straps. Thursday, I woke up sick. Today, it was worse.
It doesn't matter. I will push myself until I collapse, and if I heal, I'll push myself harder the next time. Because otherwise... what's the point?
