Mental Strength

Oct. 9th

It’s been a while since I’ve actually sat down and ‘blogged’ and with good reason I’ve been sorting out my personal life. Graduated college, working on a new business venture, competing in powerlifting and just taking a break from committing to something I knew I wouldn’t follow through with. But I’ve missed it and I’m ready to work on getting a post out once a week. 



Here’s a little refresher as to where I stand currently in regards to fitness: I’ve decided to continue to compete in powerlifting. I didn’t expect to love it this much, but I do and I’m grateful for it. 


I’m currently prepping for my next competition which I’m hoping is in December but sometimes things don’t pan out the way we want and I’ve come across a little speed up on that route. So I’m going to dive right into it. 





Training in High volume:

As I mentioned I am currently in prep. I do not know when I’m competing just yet, but that does not mean that I am not taking things seriously. The past month we have been hitting numbers in the 78-90% range and my body is feeling it. 

What I have learned so 

  • Don’t fuck with your diet 

    • Don’t stray from program
    • Trust your strength 


    Often times when hitting numbers like this we forget what we are capable of. You’re mentally tired but your mental strength plays such a massive portion of your lifts. We can not let our brain get tired. Over time things do not get easier but we learn to trust our strength and understand the mental portion of this sport much more.
