How you’ll find me between serious sets 🤐📵
-
I don’t take my low RIR working sets lightly. They require my all, and putting that into them usually leaves me feeling like my head, lungs and target muscles are about to explode 🤯
-
In the past you’ll have seen my obsession with breath work and this scene right here is probably my most effective use for it other than calming myself down to sleep or just be less stressed 😌
-
I first got the idea from listening to the @muscleintelligencepodcast years ago. I’m basically meditating, using my breath work to bring my heart rate back down once it’s been through the roof 📈📉 This allows me to recover as quickly as possible to throw everything at another set.
-
I’ll then get up and go for a quick walk to get blood flow circulating ♻️ and start thinking about how I’m going to execute my next set before returning to carry on. Obviously if I’m training with someone the walking = spotting / motivating etc.
-
It’s the main reason why my phone derails my workouts. I don’t go into this mode, focused on my breathing and maybe a cue or technique that had slipped during that set 🧐
-
Focusing on counting my breaths also keeps my mind out of the abyss of bullshit that work and women can have circling in your head if you’re sat daydreaming for 3 minutes between sets 🥴
-
I’ve heard many people say “oh, the gym is like meditation for me” but I’ve never heard anyone other than @bpakfitness talk about it like this. I know that for me, if my rest periods don’t require this, I’m not near my limit. That’s not always necessary anyway, but it’s a good gauge 🎚
