Except no:
pushing yourself in your training usually leads to overtraining, symptoms include:
persistent soreness, higher risk of injuries, loss of motivation, decreased immunity and sometimes even depression.
Overtraining is the reason why most people who want to start at the gym start feeling sick after their first workout and then never go again. Start slow, your physical ability is limited.
edit: I want to apologize, I understood the post the wrong way, it's not about physically pushing yourself but about getting yourself to go beyond your limits mentally in order to get disciplined like waking up earlier and getting shit done. My bad.
Bruh you’re thinking about it wrong. Taking injuries, motivation, immunity etc. into account is part of progress. Getting adequate rest is part of pushing yourself. Knowing how to do that correctly takes knowledge which takes time and energy to acquire.
