Do you ever find yourself doing a lot but getting very little work done?

Hey Spartans, welcome back to another episode of the Spartan Way podcast. I'm your host

Zach Evernesh and in today's episode I want to talk to you about the difference

between working optimally versus maximally and you could apply this lesson to fitness, health, work,

entrepreneurial ventures, you name it, it applies to a lot of things in our life.

I'm going to share with you a story that I experienced

myself in my younger years. In my younger years high school when I was wrestling I

was watching a VHS tape called Competitor Supreme. It was created by Dan Gable and the theme, the hard-hitting

message was that you've got to outwork the competition. You have to outwork everybody and I did outwork the

competition. I outworked everybody but I also ran myself into the ground. I

created injuries for my body because I went so far beyond maximal so

far beyond at working people that I just destroyed myself and we've probably

heard stories on Spartan Up

of entrepreneurs and other athletes

who have shared similar, where they broke themselves down.

They got too far extended.

And sometimes that's okay. Sometimes we need to have that breakdown to have a

breakthrough but I want you to start reconsidering and re-evaluating the work you

do whether it's the career,

whether it's fitness and health,

what are you taking too far to the extreme

that's just so far beyond maximal
