This exercise will teach you to keep going even when things are hard and, if applied regularly, will help you become mentally tougher than any other person you know.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Start now, start small, and work your way up.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
Increase the amount of time you spend in the cold by only 10–30 seconds a week and, after a few months, you’ll be able to take 10 minute cold showers with ease.

I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
While I don’t recommend giving up sleep for a week and doing thousands of pushups (unless you have a thing for broken bones and screwed up joints), I challenge you to create your own Hell Week.
Seriously.
Which one is better to guys, boobs or butt?
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
In the same way that you can’t go to the gym, deadlift 225 lbs. for 5 reps one week and then expect to lift 405 lbs. for 5 reps the next week, you can’t expect to just wake up one day and be as mentally strong
Cold showers suck. I’ve taken them (almost) everyday for nearly 6 years and they don’t suck any less today than they did when I started.

Whether it’s cigarettes, candy, pot, alcohol, or porn, pick a vice that you use everyday, and commit to giving it up for a short period of time.
Another great way to boost your mental
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
Try it… You’ll see.
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.
There’s nothing quite like intentionally subjecting yourself to frigid waters and saying “No” to the wonderful warmth of a hot shower when it’s only one twist of the handle away requires insane amounts of discipline and grit.
If you are seriously wanting to give up a vice (like smoking or drinking), you’ll want to throw away anything that reminds you of it.

Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
DON’T do this on the bench press or squat rack if you don’t have a spotter (there’s nothing mentally tough about breaking your back or killing yourself ok?)

1. Cold Showers
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Sit in the car on a hot day without cranking up the AC.
toughness is to meditate.
It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.

It’s funny…
Cold showers are bar none one of the FASTEST ways to build mental

Not only will you be saving the environment and helping retrain your body to internally regulate your temperature, but you’ll become stronger by saying “no” to ease, and “yes” to adversity.
Try pushing yourself to see how long you can go and, eventually, you’ll wonder why you used climate control in the first place (maybe not… But you’ll still be mentally tougher).
