Ross mode is absolutely on for my first half-marathon
This was my last run before that
Now letting my knees rest until Sunday
It has been a good challenge
Val Monte 🗻🐐@valmountaingoat
Ross Edgley is a f*cking beast - First person to swim around Great Britain - First person to swim around Iceland - Longest continuous river swim - Run a marathon while pulling a car - Rope-climbed the height of Mount Everest nd more crazy sh*t …and more crazy sh*t He is the perfect combination of strength and endurance Enduring cardio for several days but doing gymnastic rings muscle-ups with a 20 kg weight on his waist Some of his strategies: - Focusing on daily tasks, not the final goal - Understanding that our brain is just signalling discomfort, doesn’t mean we can’t keep going - Proper stimuli, especially unpleasant - Heavy strength training - big on mechanotransduction - Delusional optimism during adversity Even though he doesn’t train for hypertrophy only, he gets absolutely jacked from giving muscles a proper stimuli This is the definition of being in your prime Ross ends up motivating people to do hard stuff He was one of the reasons why I am attempting my first half marathon, next week, I want to add a little variable and go in a fasted state Let’s go!

@olalakesi Interesting point of view - haven't thought about it precisely like that before.

@BuildingJames_ To learn about something you have to experience the opposite
English
@BuildingJames_ Most men avoid the loss. That's exactly why they never find out what they're made of.
English
@BuildingJames_ Losses are the curriculum. Wins are just the proof you graduated.
English
@BuildingJames_ Lose voluntarily. Or life will make you lose. In your own best interest but still.
English
You must be constantly setting new baselines.
My Old Baselines = Not smoking weed until the evening, not spending over €50 on takeout per week, just pass my uni exams, etc.
My New Baselines = Train 4x per week, train over 30 PT clients per week, eat 90% clean, learn everyday, etc.
Now my off days are better than my on days back then.
Raise your standards until your baseline days are better than most people's peak days.

@BuildingJames_ Inspired actions should align with your thoughts and beliefs
English
You need to be constantly vigilant that you are going the direction you want in life.
Very easy to start drifting towards something you think you want but deep down don't actually want.
Or worse, you start veering off course completely and start becoming someone you never wanted to be.
Keep tabs on yourself and make sure the direction you are going is the right one for you.

@Reframe_Reality @conductr_ Have a running watch that I use as my alarm lol
English
@BuildingJames_ @conductr_ Good tips. So do you use a normal alarm clock instead of the phone?
English
@OptiMindInsight Not particularly, mostly I just constantly remind myself:
1. What do you truly want (honesty and feeling)?
2. Are you working towards those things?
3. Are you enjoying the process?
Those questions asked regularly set me up for making the right choices.
English
@BuildingJames_ True! Do you have a framework for knowing what direction to work towards, and to keep track of it?
English
@tizianx444 Great point.
But for me I was thinking more do not let familiarity keep you in the filth.
Choose your circle wisely.
English
@BuildingJames_ Especially be careful with the people you hang out with.
Do not let novelty drag you into filth.
English
@valmountaingoat Goal is 160 bro - but now you got me believing in bigger things lol
English
Another day, another PR.
150KG deadlift.
Easy for some of you tanks on here - don't care, I'm happy with my lift.
Note:
So much of setting a PR is psychological.
If you think you can't do it, you won't.
If you think you can do it, you will.
Be smart.
Believe in yourself.
English
@TheHPHackers Exactly bro - making high standards your identity is the goal 🤝
English
@BuildingJames_ What used to feel like discipline eventually becomes identity… and that’s when the baseline shifts for good.
English
Nobody talks about this but every broken promise to yourself chips away at your identity. You said you'd wake up early. You didn't. You said you'd finish that project. You didn't. You said you'd post consistently. You didn't. None of these are big failures. But your brain logs every single one. And over time you become someone who doesn't trust their own word. The way back is simple. Pick one small thing today and finish it. Then do it again tomorrow. That's how you rebuild.
