Congrats Eric James Dahl] 💪
Repost from Eric James Dahl] using - While listening to the podcast approximately 5 years ago (episode 302), Brett had to talk about Brett's experiences. I think I mulled it around for a while longer, but in October of 2017 I became a client of and was paired with . The video from my first test workouts are embarrassing for me to watch, as I've made enormous improvements, not only in strength and technique, but also in my ability to identify problems. When I got started, I assumed I was an advanced athlete and had good form. I was not and I did not.
Recently, I hit a milestone of having completed 1000 training sessions with BLOC. As a consequence, I feel like I learned (or had reinforced) a few lessons.
1.) Consistency is king. This is the case in the gym, in the kitchen, or for most pursuits in life.
2.) Voluntary hardship can refine you for the better if you'll allow it.
3.) Just because you're on the wrong side of 30 (or even 40) doesn't mean you can't set PRs and be strong.
4.) Don't overthink missed reps or training sessions. Move forward, don't beat yourself up, and get back after it tomorrow. You're not a bad person; you're merely human.
5.) Be honest with your coach, but more importantly be honest with yourself about what is important and brings you joy.
Here's to a 1000 more!
