It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
DON’T do this on the bench press or squat rack if you don’t have a spotter (there’s nothing mentally tough about breaking your back or killing yourself ok?)
