27 Aug Lisa Guggisberg Week 4 of MEAT PREP- Getting Out of My Comfort Box

I am currently getting ready for the October 3^rd RPS meet in Fort Myers, FL.  I am not cutting weight and going in the 123lb weight class with wraps.

WORK.  That’s all I can say about this week.  I came to realize this week I need to stop being a pussy, get uncomfortable, put my head down and just work.   I have always chosen correct form over weight as it should always be, but I am also realizing I am being a sandbagger. I can move more weight with proper form, I just gotta have to understand it will be hard, it will be work and not every rep is going to feel like I hit the sweet spot on the bat and smoked a home run.  It’s time to stop trying to be perfect while sacrificing potential strength, and start working fucking smarter and stronger.
