Some Tuesdays you hit a 5kg sn**ch PB, other Tuesdays you are falling on your butt at 70%.
Don't worry, we still love you. The other lifters still want to be your friend, I still want to coach you, you haven't let your family down and you aren't a total piece of s**t because your lifts were off kilter today.
Sometimes we just have low days. Maybe your period is coming, maybe life is throwing you some massive curveballs, maybe your dog had puppies and they kept you up all night, maybe your kids are sick and maybe it just wasn't your day.
Feel your disapointment, consider if there is something you could have done better to prepare for your session, talk to your coach to see if there were technical faults but don't let yourself spiral into thinking a million negative thoughts about yourself just because you couldn't hit a particular number.
As a person who did this for soooo many years, I promise it will wear you down. It will make you hate yourself and hate walking into the gym.
Take the session for what it was, and start fresh in the next one. You got this, babe. Keep up the hard work.
Save this for when you need the reminder 💖

OMG what a week!
After 6 days of back to back competition we were all starting to loose the plot a bit, haha.
The athletes just make all of the hard work SO worth it. I absolutely love the QLD masters athletes, and I know I said I won't do it again next year but I give you any bet I'll be back on the coaching team again, lol. How can I not when everyone is so amazing and fun.
Sandie, Libby and Laura all lifted so well. They represented our club and our state in a way that makes me so proud to be their coach. Each of them were good sports when they made a lift, gracious when they failed, volunteered their time to give back, built on relationships with their state mates, and made new interstate friends.
Sandie and Libby got the silver medals in their divisions. No medal for Laura but there is some tough competition in the baby masters division (30-34y)
If you want to be a part of something this awesome next year, let me know in the DMs or fill out the form in my bio so we can get you in the gym to start training now.
