whats next ?

where are you going to go?

Having confidence is showing up for yourself and doing the things you know you need to do and knowing that this all leads to the outcome. If ou give your best and show up for yourself every day, things will work out

But bang on

Scale – hard to let the scale to go up

I think that social media and opinions and make this really hard because “tahts obsessive” that’s

They then start to fear restriction because of the approaches they took before that left them sad, isolated, restricted etcetc

Tried keto etcetc so that rebellion against restriction kicks in

I had a client that never changed because she was following a lot of acceptance and body positive anti diet things but she also wanted to change but because that was what she was surrounding herself with there was a lot of misery through her ambivalence

___ my taste buds –

There are a lot of coaches who get 100% compliant or not? scale weight? Cool heres your macros

This is why I ban the scale for at least 6 months even 12 months, people don’t know how to feel and ttune into their body anymore

They don’t know how to FEEL things anymore

Because this then translates into the gym chasing only numbers not tuning into muscle tension which is the thing you need for muscle growth

Pinpoints that trigger us in the week

My mindset isn’t 100% yet so I cant start until I get this or I cant do this until my mind is 100%

If you haven’t learnt to trust yourself and if you don’t believe you can, you struggle more with the things

And they don’t believe they can and they aren’t doing the protocol as they should

Fuelling for training performance

Training intensity is a skill

Learning to engage certain muscles is a skill

You may feel it everywhere at first and then progressing that

Motivation on a fad or challenge with dumb approaches but then what and that’s when people relapse exactly they were addicted to results they lost the path

Be willing to progress and realise its not all load on the bar and you cant force it

Lets go back to using more in the log book than just x X x reps

Self talk

More things impact sessions than just muscle as well

And not every session is going to be worth talking about

The unlearning is the hardest work

Its hard to sort our shit out to get on the journey with yourself vs against yourself
