Don't quit because you can't do a 100 pounds once.  Do ONE pound a hundred times until you CAN do it.

I am often caught in this thought when it comes to different exercises, especially Pull ups or Chin ups.

No other exercise is as a great example of Bifurcation tasks.

Either you CAN do a Pull or Chin or you Can't.  Either you do or you die.  NOW, you have two choices if you can't.  You can either lose weight (hmmm, I train so I can eat, and I eat so I can train) or you can get stronger.  I like option 2.

If you can't do 10 reps, why not do 1 rep over 10 sets?  Same volume! Just different intensities.

Anyway...I wrote about this a while ago, but it's been on my mind the last couple days.  All I am certain of, it works!
