Whether it's a round, rep, set...circuit, sequence, or turn - the key is ONE MORE! It's easy to bring yourself to a point where you feel you're exerting yourself and tapper off...finishing your pull-ups, bench press, or squat with a tough last rep . What's inherently difficult, but entirely worthwhile is going the extra mile and putting yourself in a state of vulnerable discomfort, not knowing whether you're going to finish or make that ONE MORE. The unknown behind that one more is where improvement and strength gain exist...but you'll never get there if you don't jump. Here are some tips to help...

• Work with a coach who can direct these efforts down a path where you'll continue to grow & reach new goals
• Go in knowing what a reasonable amount (reps, weight, sets etc.) for yourself is, then push a little further
• Train with someone with similar goals, expectations, and work ethic as yourself
• Don't finish until you've hit the wall, and successfully failed 
• Be sure you're executing with safe proper form
• Train with some quality pump-up music!

For the seasoned gym-buff or fitness freak some if these tips are a review, and summary of attributes that have been cultivated...but it always helps to be reminded of the importance, simplicity, and effectiveness of pushing for ONE MORE. So, if you're already there, remind yourself of how you got there, and never lose the drive and determination behind going beyond and outside your comfort zone for ONE MORE.
