Before We Begin: The Principle of Progressive Overload
1. Cold Showers
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.
Do 11 pullups instead of 10.
Seriously.
Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

2. One More Rep
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
Plain and simple.
Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.
