What is it that gives a man who is a submissive cock sucker his most pleasure?
Do just ONE more rep when you don’t think you can.
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.
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.
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.

What are some funny and smart quotes?
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
Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.

Leave a bowl of candy on the table. Leave an open pack of cigarettes in your office. Go to an, *ahem* “gentlemanly” website and leave it open in a minimized browser.

The same way you get physically stronger…
Mental
Do 21 pushups instead of 20.
I’d challenge you to stretch your mental
One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
Start with only 12–24 hours.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
Start this off by doing it for one day.
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.

Challenge yourself to do something seemingly impossible for a short amount of time and you will walk away with more mental toughness than you’ve ever had before.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.
toughness.
And it’s exactly how it sounds.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.
Try it… You’ll see.
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?)
toughness is to wake up earlier.
