The "extra rep" can be a double edged sword. While it's a great concept for those who could use a little extra ambition, it's something that us highly driven type A people have to be careful of and monitor. If you get carried away with the extra rep, it can be a sure fire way to run yourself into the ground. I am into weight lifting, and I also push myself pretty hard with my pursuits in general.

If I do my work and all the reps needed to achieve the desired result, I clap my hands and say: "Done, let's start another level!" On the other hand, when I face troubles in life, I don't dwell in sadness and self pity but similarly say "Finished with this outlived and disfunctional pattern, let's start cracking and I start doing the necessary reps again. Thus I lower the amplitude between my ups and downs, which, I must say, feels really cool. Wish you all the best! Natasa Extra reps bring me inner peace and keep me safely balanced.

There is a little pain and fear of failure when doing the last push. Now included in my action plan is to be consistently doing it. I am affirming that I will adopt the winners mindset. Thanks Randy for provoking this winners thought as I start my day. I always achieve much whenever I put extra effort in any task. There is a little pain and fear of failure when doing the last push.

By the time my day is finished I don't think there is one thing left that I can do that hasn't already been done. My poor exhausted body feels as though I put it through a triathlon. I don't go to the gym or anything of the sort, no my workout routine is much tougher -- I chase after a toddler all day. So, my only lesson maybe .. keep doing what I am doing?

I usually play basketball but today I spent it in the cardio room, not only did I do extra, but also impressed myself and others on the particular exercise I was doing on the treadmill. Extra reps, extra speed, extra distance, it all pays off in the end! As far as business goes, today I could have laid in the sun all day and soaked in the rays, but instead, after my J.O.B., I came home and put in time doing something that others don't, so that I can later do what they cannot...and that is do what I want! Be who I want! And have what I want!! Michael Jordan always did extra, and that is why he is who he is! If you want to set yourself apart from the rest, do a little extra and over time you will see the rewards, especially if you believe you will get that reward! Randy,

Because of your 'extra rep' mindset, you are what you are today. We all have so much to learn about this 'extra rep' concept. I've heard about it. I know about it. It's just that I haven't conscientiously put it to practice. Hitting the gym today; and will put that 'extra rep' of yours in mind! I appreciate you. As usual, excellent write up Randy.

Great work Randy

I'm up to 34 as of today by doing exactly this... one extra push up per day. In business it can be the same way. Do that one extra call every day. Speak to that one extra person. Communicate with a one more downline member who you haven't connected with in awhile. The list goes on and is a perfect example of the "slight-edge" principle. -Bob Wow,

My extra reps are sending emails and doing research online today. My butt is in the chair for 6 hours today! The book "Outliers" by Gladwell has some very interesting data about this very topic. He shares data about most very successful people were placed in circumstances were they had to practice more than others...including the Beatles. Randy you are a great example of someone that continually does extra reps in many areas. I will be blogging as frequently as you soon! Oh how I’d love to be at the gym lifting weights!

Its' when you're so pumped that the first couple of sets are just a warm-up and then you do that last set with that 1 last rep so you can't do anymore. Only failure brings you success. You couldn't physically do anymore that day but as your body adjusts and grows stronger you are able to take on a bigger load. It's also amazing that with the correct weight training this has been proven to be possible into your 60's, 70's and 80's! But how many people are willing to put forth that kind of effort? We can all make up so many excuses not to exercise but we were all given just one body and we should take care of it to the best of our ability. Treat your body as a Temple. To apply that priciple in general: Only failure brings success means that dispite my best efforts on numerous occassions I will fail to achieve but if I don't quit, if I'm willing to get into another relationship, make those telephone calls, join that gym, or get active in my local community or spiritual center I will ultimately find success.
