How To Go Hard, Even When You Don’t Want To - Sam Sulek

🎯 聽之前

A bodybuilder talks about training when you do not want to. The English is physical and blunt: effort, soreness, and the difference between hard and reckless.

• What does "go hard" mean in the gym, and what does it not mean?
• How does he talk about pain versus injury?
• Which sentences are advice, and which are just how he lives?
• Listen for repetition. Short verbs do a lot of work.

💬 重點句 6

先讀英文，想一下意思，再點「翻譯」。按 🔊 聽一次，然後跟著唸。

1. Going hard is a choice you make in the set, not a personality you announce.
   🔊 唸 翻譯
   拼，是你在那一組裡做的選擇，不是你事先宣布的人格。

   in the set 把抽象的努力放進一個具體單位。not a personality。
2. You can be tired and still add one clean rep.
   🔊 唸 翻譯
   你可以很累，仍然再做一次乾淨的次數。

   can be A and still B。rep = repetition。clean 是動作標準，不是清潔。
3. Soreness is information. Sharp pain is a stop sign.
   🔊 唸 翻譯
   痠是資訊。尖銳的痛是停止標誌。

   兩個名詞句對仗。stop sign 是比喻，意思是立刻停。
4. Do not negotiate with the warm-up. Negotiate with the weight.
   🔊 唸 翻譯
   不要跟熱身討價還價。跟重量討價還價。

   兩個祈使句。negotiate with 把訓練講成談判。
5. If you only train when you feel electric, you will stay average.
   🔊 唸 翻譯
   如果你只在覺得超有電的時候練，你會一直停在普通。

   only 限制 when。electric 是口語「超有精神」。
6. Consistency is louder than one video of a huge lift.
   🔊 唸 翻譯
   持續比一支大重量的影片更有聲量。

   louder than 比較兩種證據。
