Meet Melissa, my nutrition client. - Melissa is consistency personified. - Despite a ruptured Achilles she just keeps doing the work and hitting her targets. - The biggest issue she reported so far is taking a couple of days off training due to being too sore from training everything else 💪😂 - Class. - @melissadevitt #winning #stoic #consistency

Identify. Don't compare. - The way to sustain any goal or any pursuit is to identify rather than compare. It's the antidote to chronic demotivation and apathy. - Imagine somebody compared themselves to you for something you already just do because it's your thing. You literally couldn't give up that thing if you tried and have found decent personal success in it as a result.... You would tell them to go and focus on their own thing wouldn't you? Admiration is cool but comparison is not. - Flip it around. Have you ever compared yourself to someone else like that? Or how often? Those goal posts are always out of reach. If you are the person who identifies with the pursuit or the sport or the game at hand you will never fail because you haven't set the game up that way. - Personally, I identify as a bodybuilder. I do not follow any other bodybuilders online unless they are smart cookies and I can learn stuff from them (They exist). I do not compare my physique to anyone else's physique. I just go and train hard and set process goals or phases. - You can have an identity as part of a group too. Lots of individual personalities with multiple shared goals but again, your own things going on. - Socially, do you identify yourself as a person who does a certain thing? Do you see yourself as the person who does x and your circle of friends reflect that? People say "Oh, it's Stephen the weightlifter" even though Stephen has a PhD and two kids. He could be the father of two or the doctor but for some reason he's not. - That social identity Stephen has grown, probably gives him the confidence to say no to a drink here and there and compete twice a year. Who wouldn't want that for somebody? - Likewise, it takes bravery at the beginning to bestow a little identity upon yourself. Posting a squat Pb attempt, saying no to a drink, ordering a burger in a bowl with friends instead of a burger and chips because right now calls for that decision. - "That's Stephen, he's a weightlifter and he's trying to shift 2 pounds for a comp but he will still come out for food and have a laugh, he's sound" - Do it for yourself and it just becomes your self.

Don't let me interrupt your lifting Katie, there's just a scuff on your new shoe there lemme get it. - Taking the Seniors through their split squats. - #helpingpeople #TeamCSP #seniors @cassidyduberry pictures

Always squat full depth - Double tap when you see it... - #lush #firm #TeamCSP

I'm some man to stand in a weird manner, that's a given.

@officialgiggs knows about that nutrient density. - I hope I get this stuck in my clients' heads hahaha - Food, not too much - mostly plants - #bigasssalad
