Ever since reading about Hershel Walker's daily, morning ritual I've always wanted to do something like that. Guy is still a beast at his age. I'm not much of a morning person though. Not an excuse, so I'll just go ahead and admit I've been too lazy. Lol. I do not miss training sessions though. If I absolutely have to, because of illness or work, I will make it up by moving a session up or back a day or so. Hangover or tired?.?. Tough chit. I do have a yearly ritual of deadlifting to a new rep max on New year's day that started after being insanely hungover after getting chit faces on NYE years ago. I had a session scheduled and almost talked myself out of it. Despite feeling like I had gotten ran over by a train, I set a 20 pound personal record. It was a good reminder of the body being well capable of going further than the mind thinks. I'm convinced that little rituals go a long way in building a mental toughness that prepares, both the body and the mind for bigger life circumstances, without actually having to experience those extreme circumstances on a frequent basis. Death, job loss, breakups, for example.
