Usually add 25s though and go for 10-6 reps or so.<br /><br />I have found it immensely beneficial.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12864904948875512259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241010404351033906.post-57746320347414546272016-01-27T16:06:42.309-08:002016-01-27T16:06:42.309-08:00Hah, what an excellent crossover example, and too ...Hah, what an excellent crossover example, and too true. So many people are masters in a perfect environment and crumble as soon as reality comes in. It's like the famous Mike Tyson quote-"Everyone has a plan until they get punched."<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Emevashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983296057210465714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241010404351033906.post-55836279054640857862016-01-27T13:42:07.667-08:002016-01-27T13:42:07.667-08:00I recently started learning the classical guitar a...I recently started learning the classical guitar and one of my lessons reminded me of this post. My instructor does this thing he calls bull baiting - in which he yells obscenities and obnoxious comments at me while I perform a piece of music. He says students who are able to perform well under such conditions are able to perform better under a perfect condition (silent audience, etc). Unfortunately, at most performances, there will be people coughing and sneezing in the audience, as well as traffic noise, etc. <br /><br />Not surprisingly, he has observed that students who have been trained to ignore bull baiting perform better than those who have not.

Sometimes, it's nice when life makes the choice for us. One of the things I miss about being in a warmer climate is that I no longer have the chance to train in a below freezing garage on a regular basis, haha.Emevashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983296057210465714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241010404351033906.post-79320099206707729342015-06-06T11:50:50.343-07:002015-06-06T11:50:50.343-07:00For someone who has a choice, it can be a struggle...For someone who has a choice, it can be a struggle to weigh the benefits of training in less-than-ideal conditions and developing the type of hardiness that will benefit you vs immediate reward from having an optimal session. Like, I've come home from work and was tired and hungry and planned to train the next day when I have more time, but then I inevitably feel like a wuss when trying to relax so I end up going to train that evening. I'm usually not at my best but it feels good to have gotten something done when I don't feel like it.
