Here's my simple plan for getting through 5 sets of any exercise:
Before first set: OK, this'll take a while, but I can get through it all.
After first set: No problem! Barely felt it.
After second set: Yikes, that's starting to hurt. I'm never going to make it through 5 sets. F*** it, I'm only doing three sets.
After third set: Ouch! But I'm going to feel bad if I wuss out after 3 sets. OK, fine I'll do four sets, but that's IT.
After fourth set: &*%^$! That hurts! But if I just do ONE MORE set, I'll be done. OK, fine.
After fifth set: Woo hoo! I did it!
Works every time. :-)
P.S. The "temporary" smaller pants I bought at the outlet mall in Florida a month ago are now huge in the waist. I officially have nothing to wear but jeans and yoga pants. Yay? Yay.
