Its The Small Things
There is a ton of mental preparation that goes into lifting heavy. Every little thing helps when trying to hit new PR`s. Eating healthy, having proper lifting shoes, and lifting consistently are obviously important things. However there are little things, like what you say to yourself before you get up to the bar, that can help get you pumped up! Are you saying things like,`yes I can do this` or `this bar is mine, I am going to lift this thing now!` Do you visualize yourself doing the lift? What do you do to help yourself squat that bar or pick that bar up from the ground?
We remember when Maya was struggling to squat 135lbs. Now its part of her warm up!
