A little share on something I don’t often share about ➡️
Bracing during a heavy lift is the ability to connect with a pause in your breath and the strength in your centre, to create stability under load!
Having mobility is great. Having strength is great. Having both is incredible, and highly recommended to move freely through this life.
Now… repetition is the only way to get good at something, BUT…. Pilates choreography would get boring if it was the ONLY thing I did. Squat, bench, and deadlift would get boring if it was the ONLY thing I did. Being able to choose and explore lots of different movement styles ensures they all stay fun!
Powerlifting massively affects your nervous system. So much of my days are spent being calm, but always being calm isn’t the goal. Knowing how and when to be calm, and knowing how and when to be energetic, is the goal. Powerlifting is my exploration (and outlet) of energy.
Progressive overload… that’s all 🫡
Training in the gym, where the session is planned for me already, is something I greatly appreciate. Less thinking, more doing.
The powerlifting community is incredibly welcoming and supportive
I’m grateful everyday for movement and breath in my body ❤️🔥
A little giggle… 101 on how not to squat 110kg 🤣
