No shit one day of lighter work isn’t gonna keep you from seeing progress. The problem is when it turns into a pattern of making excuses for why you won’t push harder, “I’m tired,” “I’m not feeling it,” “I’ll go harder tomorrow,” “I didn’t eat enough,” “I’m sore,” “I’ve had a long day,” “I don’t want to overtrain,” whatever. That’s the shit that actually holds you back. And trust me, definitely not projection, quite the opposite.
