ОБ ЭТОМ ЭПИЗОДЕ
This week on Muscles & Malarkey, I'm giving you a training update as I get closer to prep for my December powerlifting meet. We chat about recent PRs, exciting progress with my coach, Kim, and a huge personal health win that reminded me why consistency always pays off.
From there, the conversation shifts into some of the best lessons that came out of a weekend spent lifting with friends. We talk about the difference between pushing your limits and letting your ego take over, why recording your lifts is valuable (even without a coach), how the right training partners can completely change your gym experience, when it's okay to move on from a coach, and why trying a new gym—or even your very first workout—might be less intimidating than you think.
Whether you're chasing a new PR, just getting started, or looking for a little motivation to finish the year strong, this episode is a reminder that progress isn't just measured by the weight on the bar. It's built through consistency, community, and having the courage to keep showing up.
