Put some weight on the bar

Are you constantly trying to push yourself to get stronger? The answer to this question for most people is no. Most people go to the gym and do the same thing that they always do. For example, if you go to the gym and do a set of squats with 100lbs for 8 repetitions and then go back the next week and do the exact same 100lbs for 8 repetitions how are you ever supposed to improve your body. Our bodies improve by adapting to your workouts. If you always do the same thing your body will never improve. If you go to the gym and are not improving from week to week then you are doing something wrong(poor nutrition, lack of sleep, over stressed, training too much, training too little).

So why do most people do the exact same thing over and over again? People do this because it is the easy route and everyone always wants the easy path. Trying to push yourself to get better requires hard work and discipline and that is why so few people have the bodies that they desire. If it were easy to get stronger or leaner then everyone would be fit.
