Owning Your Own Stuff (Internal Dialogue) = More Strength
Posted on Friday, July 16, 2010 at 15:16 PM
This morning I trained 3 EHP members and they KILLED IT this morning!!! 
Rafael, who is in his 3rd week of training with us to improve his MMA performance couldn't lift the 102kg Atlas stone last week, this week he not only DID that stone BUT the 110kg & then went on to lift the 125kg stone to his hips but couldn't quite get it onto the box!!! That's crazy awesome, great stuff brother for "giving it a nudge"!!
Next up was Victoria who is a local trainer here in Christchurch who has the vision to "get coached" by someone else!! She & Kate where doing wooden log (30kg) clean & press. Last week Vic couldn't get it up to her chest very well, this week she not only owned it to her chest BUT is about 90% almost pressing it above her head. Great stuff Vic it's only a matter of not much time before your pressing above your head!!
Then Kate not only split jerked the log for 3reps but did it with EASE!! This is a first time that Kate was able to do it comfortably!! After this she did farmers walk with 70kg in EACH HAND!!! This is what I managed to get video of after the camera was flat & I had to use my phone!
It was awesome to see their "energy" this morning & I'm not talking about screaming rah rah type stuff, I'm talking about the fact that they OWNED their own "mind games" and didn't let the mind games OWN them!!
Let's face it sometimes we are on and sometimes we are off, but the reality is (more so for females) is that 90% of physical training is your own perception of how much you can do!! It's more often a battle between you & the conversation (internal dialogue) between your ears!! Here's me extending Kate's distance because I was extending her mental boundaries at the same time!!! It's what I do as a coach!
Great stuff EHP Whanau/family, very proud of the fact you took ownership of your own internal dialogue & as a result you got new heights/perceptions of what you can do even when it's OUTSIDE of your COMPREHENSION & Belief Systems!! Keep the faith EHP whanau/family, Keep the Faith :-)
