Just another reminder that while youāre out there comparing yourself⦠YOU are doing just fine šāØ
Muscle moves when itās not flexed.
Most stomachs arenāt perfectly flat.
Itās ok if your arms arenāt teeny tiny.
Send this to another woman to remind her of the same š«¶

Helping women over 30 fall in love with lifting and get strong and confident AF šļøāāļøš¦
Comment JACKED for my free 3 day program thatās PERFECT if youāre trying to get into a lifting routine, or if youāre sick of trying to hit the gym 5 days a week and falling short š
I lift 3 days a week myself and Iāve found it to be the sweet spot for recovering well AND getting results⦠remember, more is not better šš«¶

Just buy the bigger size babe, it doesnāt mean youāre failing š¦āØ honestly, I donāt know a single muscly woman whoās wearing the exact same clothes now as she did at the start of her journeyā¦
But isnāt it crazy that weāve been sooo conditioned to feel like something is āwrongā when our clothes feel too small, even if itās in the areas weāre TRYING to grow??
As women, weāre so fkn conditioned to fear weight gain and chase a smaller body. Yet, when you want to be strong and build muscle, your body WILL take up more space, and youāll notice it in your jeans, sleeves or dresses.
Trying to squeeze yourself into clothes that no longer fit well is a sure fire way to remain at war with your body and keep yourself stuck in that diet culture loop.
No one knows whether that dress youāre wearing is a size S or an L, and most sizing is BS anyway. So give yourself permission to get the bigger size, and keep lifting the damn weights šŖ
Are you selling yourself short in the gym? The best way to find out, is by filming your FIRST set of an exercise and actually self assessing your form ā¤ļøāš„ or at the very least⦠checking it in the mirror instead of avoiding looking at yourself š¤
Feedback is how we grow, and even after 17 years of lifting, Iām not immune to tricking myself into thinking Iām doing something when Iām actually not.
Have you tried this, let me know š¦
And if you are my client and donāt send videos - I love you, and this is for you šš«¶
Can you spot the difference? š
Hereās a hard truth thatās important especially if youāre female: if youāre not pushing yourself hard enough during your reps, youāre leaving SO much progress on the table.
Itās not the reps where youāre swinging the weights around easily that build muscle, itās the ones that bring you within 5 reps or less to failure, and those reps are HARD.
In this comparison, you can clearly see the difference from āgoing through the motionsā to āeffortā (without losing form) and thatās how most of your working sets should look - lifting face and all š
How are you doing on this? Are you pushing yourself, or do you think you might have an untapped potential to make more progress?
If youāre confident with your form, have a go during your next session and see how many more reps you can get out than you expected. Chances are, youāll surprise yourself ā¤ļøāš„

Just a lowkey date day for our letter M š„¹āØ
The fact that itās been weeks since I last updated you guys on our alphabet dates is an important reminder that things SO easily slip when you donāt actively make an effort. So hereās to re-prioritising our dates š«¶
What should we do for N? Weāll be away in Port Douglas next weekend - so taking holiday friendly suggestionsš“
Friendly reminder - donāt compare your 99% to someone elseās 1% š«¶
Can you see the difference? š
This simple shift will take your seated row (or any row) from beginner to advanced - giving you better range of motion to get more from each rep š¤
The key? The stretch should be CONTROLLED - think about keeping some tension in your back the whole time so it doesnāt turn into poor technique.
Let me know if you try it & which version youāre doing right now š¦āØ
Itās called āØbalanceāØ, look it up š¤Ŗ
But seriously, Iām having a lot more fun in my āperformance eraā than I ever did in my āas shredded as possibleā era š¤
