HEALTH AND FITNESS THURSDAY!!!

Progress doesn't always show up in the moment - it usually shows up in the days after, when the effort you invested starts paying you back. The discomfort you feel today is your body learning, adapting, and leveling up.
Trust the process. Your consistency is building something you'll be proud of! 🍀💪

IS IT PHYSICAL, OR IS IT MENTAL?

Powerlifting is as much a mental challenge as it is physical. Your success is definitely linked to strong physical preparation...but that isn't the only thing that will carry you through on competition day.
- VISUALIZE: Mentally rehearsing lifts (step by step, from setup to completion) and positive competition outcomes can boost self-belief/confidence and meet day performance.
- GOAL SETTING: Establish clear, achievable objectives to stay focused and motivated during your training and leading up to competition. Don't edit your objectives on meet day - stick to the plan!!!
- BE MINDFUL OF YOUR OBJECTIVES AND MAIN LIFT PERFORMANCE: Incorporate mindfulness into your training routine to stay calm and composed during lifts. What you do in practice will carry over to what you do on the competition platform - in other words, train the way you want to compete on meet day.
- DON'T FORGET TO USE "POSITIVE SELF-TALK: Counter negative thoughts with positive affirmations. This will build confidence, self-belief, and dispel self-doubt.
- PSYCH UP!!!!!: Use techniques that get you fired up, both in training and before stepping on the competition platform. It's different for everyone - emotional arousal, pre-lift rituals, Nose Tork, a slap on the back from your coach or teammate, an animal growl or guttural grunt...whatever it takes to get you fired up. Just prime your mind for peak performance!
The takeaway - Develop a STRONG mindset, set realistic goals for your training and meet day, visualize perfect lifts at each set attempt/weight and a successful 9 for 9 competition day, use whatever methods you need (within competition rules) to fully psych yourself up to go full Beast Mode - use your mental strength and power to set you up for a successful day of competition!

SET REALISTIC GOALS:

Aim for gradual progress rather than immediate records.
- Keep your goals realistic, specific, measurable, and within your skill level. Make progress, don't chase hype and fame.
- Keep in mind that everyone progresses at different speeds. You're physiology, gender, natural strength levels, and age all play a factor in your ability to progress faster or slower than others. Typically, newer lifters progress at a faster rate.
- Each training cycle gives you insight to your progression, and whether or not you are on track to meet your upcoming goals - be it for the next training cycle, year, or on the competition platform.
- Most lifters don't reach their goals or fail not because they are too big, but because they are trying to reach them too fast. A beginner may have a goal of hitting a 225 pound Bench Press - trying to do it in 3-6 months probably isn't going to happen. Give it 9 months to a year, and the goal is much more likely. Time and patience is key.
Take away... Build a good strength base, train within your capabilities, make sure you have mastered the basics of your lifts, set short-term goals first, keep your ego in check, and raise the bar after each successful goal completion.
