The Power of Strength

Since doing a 5k, the competitive feeling and drive to make myself better has increased.
So the next competition I have decided to do is a strength based contest.  (basically it’s an accumulation of the squat, deadlift, and bench press. Whoever can have the highest total of the three lifts, and the lowest body weight, will win and be deemed the “true strength” winner.
 The best ratio percentage of weight vs. the body weight will win.
Plans for the next couple months-
1)  Follow 5/3/1 lifting program
2)Maintain my body weight - keep it as low as possible
3)  get as strong as possible …
Tip of the week
Next time you go the gym ask yourself does this exercise help me reach my goals?
When you go out to eat, ask yourself does this meal benefit my health or recovery?
(Start saying yes to these questions, and start breaking plateaus)  - # Winning Mentality
