Unique I agree that you should not let fear hinder your progression. The balance I have kept with my fear and progression has worked wonderfully for me. It hasn't held me back at all, it just keeps me more aware of what i am doing and what is around me. In the last month I have pushed myself the hardest I've ever pushed myself, and it has produced some great results!! But, I guess it is all just a matter of opinion and different techniues!! Like I said, keep up the good ideas, all this brain storming and thinking is a very good way to sharpen the mind! Train hard and Train safe!! Strydzz
training too hard and pushing yourself too far can lead to injury. that having been said unless one explores the limits of one's capabilities one will never get better. a controlled fear makes me feel more alive, more aware. I use my fear to my advantage. when I was learning to surf so many years ago that is what my surf mentor taught me for surfing big waves. fear helps me stay focussed on my techniques. dislocated shoulders or broken bones prevent me from training with the intensity that I would like.
