You've certainly made me reflect on my own weight training. While I'm not looking to train for competition, I've certainly not been putting my best effort into my strength training. But I will now!

When I first started weight training, my trainer (the 2001 Mr World Bodybuilding Champion) shook his head at me. He walked away mumbling while I did my set. When he returned I prodded to get him to tell me what he said. Eventually, frustrated he yelled at me ... "You are so much stronger than you are allowing yourself to be!" That shut me up. I finished training, and I drove home thinking about it. Am I really capable of more? You bet I was. Determined, two days later I walked back into that gym and gave it all I had, and then some. I knew I had achieved something special the day he threw his arms around me, and said "Now that's what I meant! You have given me 110% every session everyday for the last year and a half". At 90kgs, he had just climbed off my back holding 2 x 20kg plates where he made me do 5 sets of 10 donkey calf raises on a set of stairs. Did I think I could ever do that? No. Don't aim for the maximum that anyone else can do, aim to do the maximum you can do ... every time you train. If technique is king in weight training, mindset strength is queen. You are what you think. Remember, you ARE stronger than you are allowing yourself to be. Great advice.
