Today we’re talking about the ever-so-elusive question - “How much did you lift?”
You see the workout go up the night before, and right away, you’re thinking about how your buddy is going to use x weight and you want to use the same so you can try and beat them. Or you meet up with your buddy later in the day after you know they’ve done the workout already and you ask them, “How much did you lift?” so that you can archive that and build your workout later in the night when it’s your turn to go.
We’re going to break down this question and all of the behavioral reasons it comes up, as well as talk about what it means to become a “mature” athlete. We also dig into the ways this affects those around you, when it’s not something you necessarily consider when you first ask your buddy this question.
It’s a great conversation topic on today’s episode, and we really challenge you to stop and self-reflect on where you might fall on this spectrum. We challenge you to change your wording and help someone around you face the same growth in their own journey.
