Everyone goes into the 【Ｕｐｐｅｒ　Ｌｏｗｅｒ　Ｅｎｄｕｒａｎｃｅ　Tｅｓｔ】 with a plan; how many sets they will do, when they will take breaks, what they can and can’t do unbroken.

The problem is, that often that plan does not play out once they’re actually in the test itself!

This problem is like the story of the frog who was in a pot of water. He sat in the water, all was good.
The heat was turned up a tiny bit, but he didn’t notice- all still seemed good!
The heat increased and increased, little by little, and before he knew it he was being boiled alive!

If the frog was noticing changes, and tuned in to what was happening in his environment and body, he would have hopped out before it was too late.

Upper Lower Endurance works very much this same way. The muscle fatigue creeps up in a very subtle way!
Will you pass the test of fatiguing specific muscle groups and adapt the plan?
Or will you realize only after you failed a push-up or handstand push-up that it’s “too late”?

Pay attention to the signals of your body- if a rep becomes “grindy” you might be on the verge of hitting failure!

You want each set to feel crisp.
You want to take short breaks between sets to allow the muscles to “cool off” and recover.
You want to notice changes in the “temperature,” so the water doesn’t get to boiling!

Starting out with a plan is great, but when you’re in the “pot of water” (doing that workout) is when the “temperature” (the original plan) may change on you. Be aware!

𝕁𝕒𝕔𝕜 𝔻𝕖𝕞𝕡𝕤𝕖𝕪 was the heavyweight world champion for seven years in a row. At his peak, he was also one of the most well-known celebrities in the states!

He’s been awarded many halls of fame and was named the best boxer of the first half of the 20th century in 1951.

Due to his family’s very low income, he was unable to attend school after 8 and began working on the family Colorado farm until 16 when he decided he wanted to seek out a better life for himself.

He lived in homeless shelters, barely making enough money to feed himself by competing in local bars. Eventually, he was able to hire a manager, and for most of the 1920s, Dempsey was both the most successful and the most famous boxer on the planet.
He opened a restaurant in his later years, and at 78 years old knocked out a mugger with a left hook.

Dempsey is an example of perseverance, individuality, and hardiness.
