Fortunately I keep a good selection of audiobooks and podcasts on me so I was able to do some mindset study as I listened to a book called 'The Code Of The Extraordinary Mind' (Awesome book btw). Whilst I sat in the traffic, I noticed people in cars around me getting frustrated and aggressive, particularly when I was the the slip road near to where the road closure had taken place.

Along with the deadlift, the squat is one of the best compound exercises available to build strength and mass in an athlete.
