Suffer Better: How to Raise Your Pain Tolerance and Develop Your Resilience for Training and Life

Suffer Better: How to Raise Your Pain Tolerance and Develop Your Resilience for Training and Life Guest: Jack Yee

One of the best predictors of success is your ability to withstand discomfort, yet most people possess a threshold for painful challenges is embarrassingly low. They have a hard time dealing with emotional and physical pain such as rejection, frustration, or even a hard workout. Instead of pushing themselves past the pain, they give up and often fall short of reaching their most ambitious goals. Having a low tolerance for pain will hold you back in life and in your training. It makes you more likely to constantly quit, preventing you from building the physique you want. This pattern of being overly soft is prevalent in our society and has worsened since the COVID pandemic started. If your threshold for pain continues to weaken, you will become vulnerable to falling apart.
