I’m always surprised by the titles which end up having the most pronounced effects on me, Spartan is one of those.
I’ve been running Primal/Ascension for roughly 3 months and recently converted them into a custom to allow me to listen to another title and I settled on Spartan to support my ‘side’ fitness goals.
I wasn’t expecting the huge psychological benefits that came with it however. When I’m in a good place mentally I get what I refer to as “the call to adventure”, it’s just this mindset where I’m excited about life, I’m excited to be in different places or situations, I want to meet and engage with everyone, I want to be impulsive and just do things I’d never considered before. I’ve been living in that mindset since adding Spartan.
The most profound effect I’ve noticed is that it’s instilled a strong sense of courage within me; Courage isn’t something I thought I lacked but the difference is absolutely noticeable. Whilst Primal did a fantastic job of eliminating any social anxiety or fears I might have, Spartan seems to have spread that out to every aspect of my life. I don’t remember the last time I doubted myself, or felt fear in response to something, it’s all just been replaced with an excitement, an opportunity to shine.
I train 4 days a week and have just signed up for a beginner BJJ class next week, Spartan is showing itself to be the perfect companion to my fitness goals.
