#latergram #girlsnight with this sexy lady @rayroxvegas 😘 Dinner @pier215lv & #backstreetboys @zappostheater @phvegas I’m approaching my 2 year anniversary here in Vegas & I’m so incredibly grateful for the friendships I’ve made & the life @ericgahanatc & I have built here 😍! #vegas #lasvegas #thatvegaslife #grateful
😂🤣😂 #alwayshungry #repost @rpstrength @rp_transformations via @squat.bench.deadlift
Have you ever discovered physical strength in your training that you didn’t know you had? Then instead of acknowledging it & continuing on as you were, you push the limit w/ this new strength & experience the repercussions? # I’m sure we’ve all been greedy w/ our strength at one point in time. In fact I think it can be more common for those of us who are more experienced lifters, as if we fall in this category we tend to be more mentally tough & are more inclined to push ourselves beyond a reasonable limit. # About 6wks ago, while on my current path to train for @strongfirst Sinister, I decided to 1H swing 28kg for 3 sets of 10R/L during a training sesh. Knowing full well that 24kg was the max I had ever 1H swing AND that my 24kg 1H swings still needed work. BUT, since I was feeling superhuman strong that day, I decided to get ballsy & swing 28kg. # At the time my body seemed to handle the challenge well. UNTIL, the next day I woke up & my left hip & low back were wicked pissed off at me. Then I was pissed off at myself because I know better than to do something like that. # I had a minor set back & had to take it easy for about a week & then eased my 1H swings back up to 24kg from 20kg. It’s been a long time since I’ve been greedy w/ my strength. The last time I can remember was when I was training for the Iron Maiden Challenge & became more concerned w/ getting 24kg overhead for the press that I disregarded everything about the actual skill of pressing. As a result I failed my first attempt at the IM in Sept 2013 & afterwards had to relearn how to press, the right way, all over again. In the end this was the best thing that could have happened because it forced me to make my weakness my strength. # If you get greedy, you are not alone. It happens to the best of us. In a perfect world we would never get greedy w/ our strength. Although, this is not the reality. Thus what matters is that you learn from lessons passed & try your best to have self restraint going forward. Thus, if it happens again, acknowledge it immediately & take a step back to have patience w/ your strength because strength that sticks, takes time. #fitnessfriday #motivation #strengthtraining

You Got This

 ACTION! SNATCH! READY, SET, YOU GOT THIS! Sometimes things look much sexier on the outside then you might be feeling on the inside. We all have those training days that are both a physical and a mental struggle. Even Xena has less strong training days. How do you stick to your training routine and get through it? You create a positive script and a plan, and you recite the positive script and… Read More
