At this weight with my first attempt I failed. Talked to myself for a few minutes, ended up attempting it again and succeeded. Whether I did get it or not I was going to be proud of myself for trying. I reference athleticism a lot when I teach because it looks different on all of us. Ignore the hype of “what’s cool” and train to be athletic. I can walk, run, sprint, row, cycle, lift and move my body in ways that bring me happiness. Focus on how it makes you feel. Right now I feel strong! 535lb #trapbardeadlift #deadlift #weighttraining #exercise #fitness #weightlifting #strong #athletic #powerful
