February challenge was max weight for 30s plank hold. Daisy and will chose to use a person as the weight (which is within the rules if the COM of the person is located at the hips) and clinched the win for male and female

March challenge was max weight 2 minute OHS hold. Lauren managed 26kg! This is a hard challenge without weight so adding weight on is a huge effort.

What’s one of your most used mindset strategies in lifting or life? Leave something in the comments 👇👇

Coach Reid’s top strategy is convince yourself you can do it, commit to every attempt. Get stubborn when things get difficult. Its better to be delusional about your ability, give it 100% and maybe fail, than be a ‘realist’ who then doesn’t put full effort in. Choose the strategy that tricks you into 100% effort.

“This is a daily occurrence in my training, and regularly said during coaching opportunities. The line between success and failure is fine, tip the scales in your favour during your setup”
