Hope you’re enjoying your weekend!

Here’s a recap of all the best fitness info from the past week.

Strength Tip

You don’t get stronger missing weights. It’s physically taxing and probably worse, mentally. Your confidence gets shaken after you miss an attempt. You begin to doubt yourself, your training, and negative thoughts swirl through your head about your progress. There’s a lot of ways to PR. The most obvious way is crushing a new max, but you can also hit rep maxes, total volume PR’s, and RPE PR’s. A volume PR may not be as sexy as hitting a new max, but it is a PR! I see people get anxious when they aren’t testing their new max each week. Don’t feel as though you need to be constantly testing your 1RM to increase it. There are plenty of ways to get stronger other than chasing a new max each week. Regardless of your programming, pick weights you know you will hit. No one got stronger missing all their attempts. #powerlifting #deadlift

Here’s a quick recap of all the awesome fitness info this weekend.

Strength Tips & Training Videos

Find purpose to your training and you’ll find a passion. Training shouldn’t be punishment an unhealthy lifestyle. Don’t train because you ate and drank too much over the weekend. You will always view exercise negatively – a chore you have to do because you were bad. Train because you love it, because it makes you feel good. Training because you feel guilty about putting down a 12 pack and a pepperoni pizza only creates an unhealthy relationship with an otherwise healthy hobby. #powerlifting #squat #fitness #train #inzer #powerliftingmotivation

Powerlifting’s a simple sport. You show up and squat, bench and deadlift three times each. You move the heaviest weight you can to form the best total.

Pretty basic, but like a lot of other lifters, I can look back now and remember making plenty of mistakes at my first powerlifting meet.

Here’s how you can avoid the common mistakes made on meet day and smash PR’s on the platform.

Don’t Change Your Daily Habits on Meet Day

Make the day routine like any other day.

Start the day off right by getting enough sleep the night before.
