Strength.💪🏻

Used globally to define someone’s physical or mental capability.

One misconception I run into frequently at the gym is the overall appearance of strength.

Someone may be able to lift a 80lb dumbbell (incorrectly) , but what if you implement the proper form,technique and muscle engagement. Are they still able to lift that 80lb dumbbell?

The majority of those using other muscle groups to distribute that weight and not targeted muscle groups could no longer lift 80lbs. In-fact I have witnessed a decrease in over half of the original weight lifted incorrectly.

The amount of weight in the gym doesn’t define your strength, unless you utilize proper form,technique and muscle engagement.

Remember this the next time you feel discouraged because someone is lifting heavier than you. Are they really lifting heavier ? Or are they compensating elsewhere in order to follow through with that weight.

Mind to Muscle connection is crucial when lifting.If you’re looking for optimized results, this takes time,practice,consistency and patience. In reality, lifting is in fact an art form.
