1st Powerlifting meet (There will be pee)

With all the information available to us how do we know what we know or how much we need to know? Or, perhaps, we ditch the quest for amassing information and get clear on our objective.  FREE strength programs at garagegympowerlifting.com Join the worldwide GGPL community on Instagram @garagegympowerlifting Email us with suggestions for the podcast or if you want to be a guest, and send your videos and pics to post on Instagram: david@garagegympowerlifting.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ggpl/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ggpl/support

Knowledge, Clarity, and Experience

Instead of thinking about programming as an absolute use it as a tool to learn about how you respond to volume, intensity, frequency, and accessories. The best part of powerlifting is constantly learning about different ways our body responds and how to find optimal ways to improve our training.  Mentions in this episode: Jim Wendler's 531 Program FREE strength programs at garagegympowerlifting.com Join the worldwide GGPL community on Instagram @garagegympowerlifting Email us with suggestions for the podcast or if you want to be a guest, and send your videos and pics to post on Instagram: david@garagegympowerlifting.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ggpl/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ggpl/support

Being Teachable, learning what programming works for you

Mindset is crucial to being successful at anything in life. In this episode David discusses a way to strengthen our confidence by saying "I am" statements, which is similar to positive affirmations. Training our mind just as much as training our muscle is key to building a solid foundation of strength.

Confidence Part II ("I am" statements)

Confidence is often talked about as something easily acquired. In this episode David talks a bit about when his confidence was reduced and how he dealt with that in his childhood/teen years going into adulthood. His experience points to a lack of identity as being the cause for not having confidence.

Confidence Part I

Nothing is personal, but if we rely on outside stimuli (compliments, recognition, awards, likes, follows, etc) for fuel to build our confidence, we then set ourselves up to be torn down by criticism, haters, trolls, unlikes, unfollows. It's time we own our lives and rewrite our story!  FREE strength programs at garagegympowerlifting.com Join the worldwide GGPL community on Instagram @garagegympowerlifting Email us with suggestions for the podcast or if you want to be a guest, and send your videos and pics to post on Instagram: david@garagegympowerlifting.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ggpl/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ggpl/support
