Your mind will not allow you to do something that it already decided against. So if you decided that you can't do double-unders (for example) until you start seeing yourself doing them in your minds eye and beleiving that you're already capable, than you never will. Beleive it, like you already are doing it!

Good start to the test day, 4 tests, 4 PR's.

Take your time in between sets, 2-3 minutes.. maybe even more once you get to the 85%+ range.... Figure out what kind of rep scheme you want to do to attempt a PR. Your trainer will be able to help you if you are unfamiliar or need help.

Kudos on these PR's so far. I cannot wait to see what the evening classes have in store!

LOTS of PR's today. If you did not get one, there are many reasons that you did not. Do not focus on it and just prepare for the next time you are in the gym. The longer you have been at this, the harder it is to PR and there are times when I put an extra set of clips on the bar just to try to get more weight. Dig deep, train hard, move weight. You are did great today.
