POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Sometimes the weight on the bar is the easiest thing I’m carrying. 🖤

I’ve always loved training. Pushing myself, getting stronger, chasing goals.

But as I’ve got older, I’ve realised that what training does for my mind is just as important as what it does for my body.

Life gets heavy sometimes.

The pressures of work, being a husband, being a dad, trying to be the best version of myself for everyone around me and somewhere in amongst all that, trying to find time for myself.

Some days I feel strong, other days, not so much.

But when I train, for a little while, everything else goes quiet.

It’s not about escaping my responsibilities or pretending everything is okay. It’s about giving myself the space to breathe, reset and work through whatever I’m carrying.

I’m learning that strength isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about accepting that sometimes you won’t.

And that doesn’t make you weak.

That’s why the message behind @alwaysforwardbrand means so much to me.

Because moving forwards doesn’t always mean lifting heavier, achieving more or pushing harder.

Sometimes it simply means showing up, looking after yourself and recognising that you’re doing your best.

The weight doesn’t always get lighter. But we can learn how to carry it.

Rob.

Possibly my most favourite lift I have ever done for a 10kg PB to finally hit 100kg on an axle bar. Some nice raw audio of my breathing like a truck too.

Big up to @patwatts0790 for the tips and the bants today.

I think the programming is working @earn_your_burrito

Pin press cluster sets today. 3-1-1-1. I’d love to be able to do this with 100kg one day.

Also, Yes I like to move around between sets.

And no I won’t stop. by @rob_lifts_things

These hurt today.

Lots of grip work and slow eccentric movements.

Another one done ✔️
