Day 605: Positive Pressure

G’day Shredders,

In yesterday’s Day 604: RTP Shred 1.0 Reveal post I implemented a “positive pressure” technique by stating my physique goal for August 10, 2008. Now that my goal is “public” I have no choice but to follow through and get the job done, or risk the consequences (humiliation!)

In my experience “positive pressure” techniques such as this are a great way of “forcing” yourself out of your comfort zone and propelling you towards a full-blooded physique transformation.

While I have implemented a few different “positive pressure” techniques since I started this blog none of them come close to the pressure I felt in the lead-up to M4 Training Day with Tom Venuto.

The pressure of having to “stack up” on Tom’s “home turf” was a major factor in why I hit the best shape of my life for this mission.

Below you can see two examples of Mission 4 “positive pressure” in action.

Today’s Question

My question today is, have you had a similar “positive pressure” experience where you attained results that exceeded your expectations? If so, is there a way you can apply more “positive pressure” to your current Mission in order to hit your “dream body”? 

Cheers,

AJ
