speed is something that i find difficult to control. the urge to move to heavier weights and move across the exercise is a lot at times. this would explain my love handles.
I’m in pretty fair shape but I’ve always found it challenging to control my overall workout speed and the urge to wanna hit the heavy weights never leaves. Ultimately you just have to force yourself.
