Whoa yesterday was a wild ride.

I guess I have true skin in the game, just a quick breather.

1,000 pound lift

So I think a big thing:

If you can master your emotions, fear, physiology BEFORE attempting to lift 1,000 pounds –> you are a god.

Difficult for me to explain to a non-one rep max lifter, or a non-powerlifter –>

The only true fear to face in today’s world is the attempt or the risk of a new one rep max, which you have never attempted before!

Why?

Some fears:

  1. Will the equipment break?
  2. Will you injure yourself?

Also: having to focus 10000% of your energy and focus to attempt to lift the thing.

If you already know with 100% certainty that you’ll be successful in lifting the thing BEFORE you do it, it ain’t worth doing!

Master your physiology, master your emotions.
