At Surge Stronger, we talk a lot about "Surging to New Levels." But what actually holds us back from that next PR? In the world of physics, there is a phenomenon known as Superconductors. These are materials that, when cooled to a specific temperature, allow electricity to flow through them with zero resistance. No energy is lost; it is pure, 100% efficiency.
As athletes and lifters, we should strive to turn our own bodies into "biological superconductors."
The Resistance We Face In a normal wire, energy is lost as heat because of resistance. In the gym, our "resistance" comes in the form of poor form, lack of sleep, mental self-doubt, and improper recovery. When we train with these "impurities" in our system, we waste energy. We grind through reps but don't see the results because our internal "circuitry" is clogged.
