 The next question is from Lewis Liffs, a little. How do you handle your mindset after coming back from an injury? I strained my lower back a couple weeks ago, I know what I did and didn't do that led to the strain. I also know how to heal it and it's healed. Now I just need to heal my mindset. Every time I get to 300 plus pounds for my squat, I start to psych myself out. I complete a couple sets and then get into my own head and stop before I hit my set goal for the day. I think Adam could answer this. He's had a few injuries last week. Yeah, you know, here's the thing too. Like this idea that we always have to be increasing the amount of weight. I mean, squatting 300 pounds is phenomenal. I mean, that's for anybody, right? I know there's all kinds of stuff on the Internet of this makes you consider you a really strong person or kind of strong. It's like 300 pound squats. Good. Yeah, exactly. If you can if you can squat 300 pounds up until you're, you know, late 60s or 70s for the rest of your life, you're great. Yeah, you're that's phenomenal. So this idea that we always have to progress back or further or add more weight to the bar, I think that's a myth. And that's something that I had to get out of my head is that, you know, I'm wanting to, of course, I want to see progress and I want to add more and I want to add more. And I have to check that sometimes and go like, why though? Like why? So I could tell the guys, yo, I hit 405 today. Like, what's the real point of it? Like, is it not competing anymore? You know what I'm saying? Like, is it going to enhance and improve my life anymore? No, not really. So I think this, this idea of always having to push more weight to prove to whoever or whatever that you're, you're progressing or you're doing great. I think it's silly and you got to let go of that. I think that's the first key to healing a mindset like this is the idea that you have to keep pushing beyond that. There's nothing wrong with you sticking out of weight and realizing that. Wow, here. So your weight is that, right? So mine is 400. Like when I start going over 400, shit happens because I'm, I'm, I'm pushing it towards my peak of what I can lift at. And all it takes is me to be, you know, a little off that day or not have the energy and strength that I thought I had going into it. And it puts me at a higher risk. So the higher you go, the higher the risk is. Sure, the potential higher reward may be, but what, what do you really need that right now? I do get what he's saying though, in terms of, so what Adam's saying is that that's the core, that's the core root. Like that's something everybody I think should work on. But I do understand what he's saying in terms of the mindset because if you've ever injured yourself doing something, let's say you're riding your bike and you fall off and you twist something where you play basketball and there's some hesitancy before you go perform it again. You get the fear, right? There's a little bit of fear. Oh my God. I remember last time I went to do this and boy, did I hurt myself really bad? So I totally understand that. Here's how you get around any fear. You have to desensitize yourself to that movement. Now with that, and that's a slow process. So if you get fearful at 300 pounds, get really good at squatting 250. Like really, really good, like perfect, tight, slow form. Get to the point where you could pause at the bottom, pause halfway up, get really good at it, and then add 10 pounds. They get really good at 260. Slowly get yourself back up to where you were before, but own it, completely own it and get really, really good at it each and every single step of the way. And what'll happen is you'll desensitize yourself to the squat and then you'll get over that fear. This is also where I like to load the bar and just hold it and feel the weight. And I know like, I remember I think you brought that up beforehand when you're starting to squat and the guys would just load, but you need to feel the weight as Adam. Right. I honestly feel like that. That provides a, you know, a valuable feedback that you can control this. You can stabilize in this position. You could feel that all the way down your body. It's not going to crush you. And, and so if it's a fear thing, I think the exposure in the different components of the lift will really help kind of break through that. I like that idea too. And like, so something you can do along, like set the, the squat or the safety bars up, right? Yeah, and actually, you know, add 50 pounds over what you could probably do and just put it down and just go, just go as slow as you can, right? And just, but you know, your goal is not to come back out of it. In fact, that highlights something is learning how to dump the bar. That's a skill actually. A lot of people don't know how to do it properly or they're afraid and they've never done it before. And then when they get pinned, they don't know how to dump the bar properly and then they get hurt. That's actually something you should practice. Get a bar on your back and figure and learn how to dump the bar and also learn when to dump the bar. Like there's a point where you're grinding a weight up and you're better off just dropping the weight. Maybe we'll get it up if you try to grind it out, but you probably hurt yourself. Like you start to learn where that point is like, you're like, this isn't it. And then you're comfortable. That's how, I mean, you guys have probably seen me dump the bar more than anybody else. I always, and a lot of times I could have got it out, but I already feel the breakdown a little bit. And if I feel the breakdown even in the slightest bit, I'm dumping the bar. Yeah, I know it's funny. That's like when I got rid of all training partners. Like I was like, because the last time I relied on a training partner, they fucked up, you know, and like I almost got really hurt. And it's just like, it's so much easier to just dump the bar and do that yourself. Oh, you're right, dude. Like imagine if this has happened to me too, where I'm up pinned, I'm under a bar and I want to dump it, but my partner is behind me trying to help me. So I got to grind it out with the person behind me. I can't dump it. So I would definitely recommend like what you said, Adam, set the safeties, practice that feeling. Once you're comfortable failing, then you're probably not going to be as fearful of the bar.
