I&#x27;d disagree that giving up on that workout was a good idea. I&#x27;m heavily involved in the powerlifting community, and there&#x27;s a well-known phenomenon where people try and talk themselves into taking an extra rest day or two before &quot;leg day&quot; because leg day is so important that they absolutely have to feel 100% when they do it...problem is they do this every week, so instead of doing 100 leg workouts a year at 95%, they end up doing 70 leg workouts at 100%. And trust me, that&#x27;s not a good trade-off.<p>The thing to realize is your mind is just trying to trick you into getting out of something, because leg day is hard.
