In a bad place mentally going into heavy lifts. At my strongest, went into each lift with confidence and purpose. Lost some strength and now mindset is “hopeful” to hit the lift. Anyone else... (cont)

I think it’s important to remember that everyone goes through stretches with workouts where you don’t feel your 100% best and 100% strongest. I feel like personally I’ve been conditioned to think if I have one off workout, my progress is stalled and I’ll never reach my goals. Just one of those things people don’t hear enough. Just keep pushing through it, take some time off if you need it and work your way back in

The 100% days come fewer and father between after you hit 35, too.

Go through a similar funk? Can’t seem to break it (months now...) and seeing if anyone has ideas or cues about getting back into a good headspace

1) Do you listen to music at all? I have go to songs that always get me pumped before a set.
2) do you have experiences that you can channel to get you ready for a lift? Some can be negative things or stressors.
3) go in to your set knowing you’ve done it before and your motivation can be getting there again.

I have some kind of mental issues with deadlifts now that I didn’t before. Not really sure why.

At the end of the day though, I just do what my coach programs and most of the time I do it all. If I miss a rep or two it’s usually in my last set, and I just do an extra set of a couple reps to hit my volume and let my coach tell me if technique is the problem and decide how to adjust my programming.

For pregnant women who have had prior pregnancies/losses but no living children, do you consider yourself a FTM? When people ask if this is your first, do you share that it’s not your first pregnancy? This is my third pregnancy and would be my first living child; it’s been on my mind as I head into the second tri (which is when I lost my last baby).

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?

Hi, do you know of any opening as a production manager making at least 120K? The environment where I'm currently working is getting more toxic than ever and they are expecting me to fill all the openings with the minimum wage. I've been in the same company for the last 7 years, but with all the pandemic still going on, nobody seems to understand that when you are short staffed is impossible to get the same results as when you are fully staffed. Any help or insights will be greatly appreciated.
