Today, I, suddenly, lost my strength in the workouts. Suddenly is the key word.
I haven’t have taken a single day off from workout since previous Feb. After working out for some time, fatigue builds up in the body. It builds up marginally, but at its tipping point, you deplete all your strength reserves. Imagine, you are pumping all the horse-power you have, day by day, for a year. This happened with me today. I used to bench press 75kg for 8 reps with 4 sets (i.e. 75kg x 32 in a session). Today, I was able to perform only 2 reps.
Not that I got discouraged. This was a sign that I should take a break now. I should let the body build up its reserves and regenerate once again. So, for the next 10 days, I am gonna take a break from my workouts. After 10 days, I’ll have my strength back.
This is a wonderful opportunity for me to do my kept-aside things. The most important thing I’ll do is I’ll meet God. I haven’t sat for a deep long meditation since October 2019. I do daily meditations, but I have not entered that realm since. There were two reasons. You need at least 4-5 days to grasp everything. 2 days are so intense that you are barely able to perform your daily tasks. Also, after workouts, we need sleep. But after that intense meditation, you are barely able to sleep for 48 hours. I don’t know that if I’ll meet God or not, but I’ll do my best to meditate.
So, losing my strength suddenly is a death, but to be born again, you need to die first!
Those who are afraid of dying, have never lived!
