Blog Update 281015 - False Beliefs

Hey team, I watched a great video from Barbell Shrugged coach Kurt Mullican during the week talking about false beliefs and the excuses that we make for ourselves and thought I’d share it with you all and my own false beliefs.
A wrote down three of my own while watching this video and I recommend you do the same:

1. I suck at gymnastics especially Chest to Bar Pull Ups & Muscle Ups.
2. I wish my recovery was better in particular getting enough sleep and active recovery activities.
3. I suck at running.

Not really noticing I have been using these excuses as reasons to not have to work on my CTB Pull ups, watching TV late at night instead of going to bed early and avoiding running as much as possible. So, it is time to change these beliefs...

1. I will program Chest to Bar Pull Ups & variations twice a week for myself so I master this movement and love them!
2. I will work on and improve my sleep time ritual e.g. turning off electronics 30 mins before bed, making sure I get a minimum of 8 hours sleep each night, and reading more before bed. I will also plan and organise more active recovery sessions, e.g. beach days, walking etc. And make sure I get the recovery my body needs.
3. I will run. I will do the 12km Run Geelong on November 22nd and train each week to build up to that distance.

Make friends with your false beliefs....and kill them!
