Everyone has a movement they aren’t super strong at, or struggle with. For me, it feels like multiple things - squats, running, gymnastics- the list goes on. But I refuse to say ‘I hate running’ or ‘ugh, squats’.
I actually enjoy seeing things in the programming that I’m not good at. It came from reading about Matt Fraser and his experience with rowing. He got his ass handed to him in rowing one year, so for the next 12 months he rowed every day. Then he became a force to be reckoned with on the rower the following year.
I’m sure as hell not going to run every day (lol) but it made me reframe my approach to training, and changed my mindset.
It’s an opportunity to improve and build my base.
I’ll still struggle, still sweat, still feel weak but it makes the workouts more enjoyable, makes me feel like I’m working towards something and makes me a nicer person to have in the gym 😂
