You have to hate losing. Otherwise, you will always have some excuse to not do the work. Posted @withregram • @jailhousestrong 💪Thank you to @johnradjuvas for sending this! 💪 This is posted at Järfälla Atletklubb or Järfälla Athletes Club. But it's a club and not a commercial gym and they are a tight-knit group, to say the least! In John’s own words “The club was one of the largest and most renowned in Sweden in the 90s with over 800 members and some athletes dominating the national scene and competing at international level. Then the club declined to just a few members and barely survived, but since a couple of years back (this is my fourth year) we have started to bring back some of the glory and are currently around 45 members with about 15-20 actively competing. Lifting changed my life, but the club is my tribe and they changed my soul!” Awesome wisdom from the legendary @borissheiko #jailhousestrong #gasstationready #individualoverinstitution #UndergroundStrengthGym #UndergroundStrengthCoach #STRONGLife #Manasquan #ScotchPlains (at Manasquan Underground Strength Gym) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLeXPKBhtkN/?igshid=5q3ddak7iil6

Challenge yourself to have a growth mindset and see what happens! (via @jailhousestrong) The Growth Mindset The growth mindset dictates that no one is born a winner or a loser, but rather a chooser. This means that you can be a winner if you want to be; you don’t have to come into existence a certain way. In other words, it’s not a matter of smart versus dumb, but learner vs. non-learner. This mindset views challenges as tools to help someone grow rather than a bad omen. The growth mindset finds feedback constructive and recognizes that effort is necessary. In short, the growth mindset is a “yet” mindset. For every cause there is an effect, choices are based on free will; you are the master of your fate. Developing a Growth Mindset 1. Embrace Belief Believe in yourself and your capabilities and you will open up your potential to achieve your goals. 2. Embrace Challenges Use challenges as a means to get better. 3. Embrace Hard Work Rather than something to be intimidated by, hard work is a necessary ingredient in pushing yourself to your full potential. 4. Learn from Criticism Receiving criticism isn’t easy, but it is important. Find the value in it and use it to better yourself, no matter how harsh. 5. Be Inspired by Success Rather than stewing in envy of others’ success, use it as inspiration for your own. Instead of looking at the negatives of a situation, look for the opportunity for your own success. 6. Have a White Belt Mentality Recognize that you can learn from anyone, anywhere, at any time. 7. Cultivate a Sense of Purpose Start with the “why.” The “how” will come later. 8. Believe in Heroes Seek inspiration in those you look up to. Use this to motivate yourself to reach their level and beyond. 9. Develop Self-Awareness Be able to reflect honestly on your progress. Know that you only have as much potential as you allow yourself to have. Are you at 85 percent growth mindset/15 percent fixed mindset or vice versa? Either way, you can begin shifting your current mindset to one of total growth right this very second. What will you accomplish once you do? #jailhousestrong #gasstationready #individualoverinstitution #joshstrength #joshstrengthmethod (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCv2mr6Aq6z/?igshid=d4tyeprdhb69

Posted @withrepost • @jailhousestrong ✔️✔️Strength Tips✔️✔️ 1. Negative Training Partners Self-help guru, the late Jim Rohn, says we are a product of the five people we spend the most time with. If strength is a serious goal, you must eliminate training partners that are lazy, negative, and not willing to work. Surround yourself with like-minded people with similar goals and attitudes, in turn you will feed off of each other and success will be a foregone conclusion. Don’t train with jabronis 2. Insufficient Sleep It’s very difficult to get stronger and ignite hypertrophy without adequate sleep. Sleep is when a large percentage of anabolic hormones, like growth hormone and testosterone, are released. Besides hormonal disruption, one study found after three days with only three hours of sleep per night, maximal bench press, deadlift, and leg press were down significantly. The bench press decreased by 20 pounds. Other findings in the literature caused by sleep deprivation include reduced energy, decreased time to exhaustion, increased injury rate, reduced sprinting speed, reduced accuracy in basketball, and slower reaction times. Since strength is the goal, strive for eight hours of sleep nightly, minimally seven. 3. Training at Gyms Without a Squat Rack In 2006, Albert Argibay, a bodybuilder and a state correction officer, was training at Planet Fitness in New York and literally had the police called on him by gym management for grunting. Interestingly, Dennis G. O’Connell, a professor of physical therapy at Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texas, has piloted studies on the effects of grunting. O’Connell found that weight lifters produce between two and five percent greater force when they grunt. On a 500-pound squat, that is 10 to 25 pounds—no gym rule is worth giving up that! Furthermore, Planet Fitness has removed all squat racks. If strength is the objective, avoid this type of gym like the plague. #jailhousestrong #gasstationready #individualoverinstitution #joshstrengthmethod #joshstrength (at Manasquan Underground Strength Gym) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7IAilUpSJs/?igshid=5t076b0npdsz
