Why should you compete
Sport And Fitness / / December 19, 2019
Recently, the first time I take part in competitions on a functional all-round. While he learned of his participation in two training prior to the event.
It was very scary, and I think that is absolutely not ready to participate, but could not refuse, and acted. Although our team are not even close to the prize, I did not regret his participation.
Yes, some people take part in competitions since childhood. They do not need to explain why this is necessary for them to competitions - a normal part of sporting life. I am writing this for those who are involved in sports "for himself" and did not want to participate in competitions.
1. You will gain extra motivation
Sometimes exercise become boring, and sometimes it can be frustrating, for example, when you did not get something done. When you are preparing for a competition, laziness, boredom and bad temper back down - you are motivated by the upcoming event and the desire to act with dignity.
On conventional workouts you can, consciously or not, to avoid the weaknesses of the study: when you have something does not work, I want as little as possible to deal with this.
During the preparation for the tournament, you do not hesitate to begin work on their weaknesses and get results much faster than without a deadline date of the competition.
I experience it for yourself. The last two months I've made a breakthrough with a bar in the 20-25 kg. Two days before a competition, I added another 10 kilograms and made a breakthrough with a barbell weight of 35 kilograms.
Each class I literally ran to the platform to quickly begin training jerk and not completely embarrass myself in competition. I can not imagine how much time I would need to learn the weight without a strict deadline.
2. You experience the thrill
During his speech, the most focused you and your ability to grow. All this is due to the release of adrenaline.
Research ArticleAnimal Instincts of the Human Body: A Psychological and Skeletal Muscular Analysis of Adrenaline on the Human Body. Published in the Journal of PIT (The People, Ideas and Things) explains how the hormone acts.
Adrenaline increases the heart rate, blood pressure, and improves the heart's ability to pump blood faster. Blood vessels deliver more nutrients to the skeletal muscles and the brain, due to which improves attentiveness and awareness.
Adrenaline also causes constriction of some blood vessels, slowing blood flow to the heart. This keeps the blood, rich in nutrients, in the right areas, prolonging the activity.
While in your blood increased concentration of adrenaline, you feel strong, fast and focused. Nothing compares to that feeling.
3. You know your limits
Our body is configured to save energy, and therefore always have to push yourself to do more on the usual training. And still no extra motivation and special conditions of the body will not allow you to go all out.
In training, I moved up without interruption up to 10 times, thought it was my ceiling. The coach said that the competition should be non-stop to catch up to 20 times. Twice as much! In training, I tried my best and was able to make only 13 times. At the competition made 23.
At competitions withdrawn unit of conservation of energy. Each exercise you do to failure of muscles, as long as no longer physically able to make a single movement. So you learn your limits, you know, what you're really capable.
4. You get out of your comfort zone
For the first time participate in the competition is very exciting, especially to the moment you leave the site, but after speaking fear is replaced by a feeling of satisfaction. It does not matter you win or not, the competition - it is an experience that does not get any other way.
5. Enrich your social circle
On the competition attracts people from different cities and countries, and is a great way to start Looking with people who "suffer" the same as you.
You can spend your time, get a lot of positive emotions and meet with stronger athletes, on which you want to be.
Get ready for a competition, speak and always strive for more, and the sport is no longer inspire you.
