According to Chris Feather, Australia’s first fully qualified Gym Jones instructor and founder of notorious Sydney gym 98 Riley St, the key attribute to building stunning physical prowess is granite mental strength.

“I see so many people who have incredible physical attributes,” says Feather, “and I think, God, you should be smashing this weight and trampling this rower. But they’re not. And that’s because they don’t have it in the head; they can’t push past the point of suffering.”

Feather dismisses the notion that your pain threshold is immutable. For him, a willingness to suffer is something to be honed.

“You’re not born mentally tough,” he says. “It’s built through environment, it’s built through experience.”

Want to boost your pain threshold?

Start with this brutal workout Feather calls “The Leveller”.
