TRACK YOUR CYCLE
I used to be one of those girls who was unaffected by my cycle. I didn’t get any pain and it lasted a few days. A minor inconvenience. I used to think girls who complained about their periods we weak. Like they were using it as an excuse for life. That was until I became one of those girls.

In my early 30s after trashing my body with excessive diets and cardio, years of poor sleep and not being kind to myself it finally caught up with me and it started to affect my training.

Having my period became a fuxking event. Whah, fuxking, whah.

Anyways the first time I noticed it lifting, I was supposed to lift 130. It should have been easy, but it was a grind. I cried and went home. I didn’t realise it was related to my cycle, until it happened again the next month, a complete lack of power.

Since then Ive tracked my cycle and where possible made adjustments to training peaks and comp peaks.

It’s not a perfect science, but it works and I know that 3-4 days before I my cycle starts, training is hard. But I also know that from the day I start I have permission to fucking go! And if this happens to fall on comp day, it’s awesome!

Here’s 130 high bar for 8 in sleeves. I think it’s a 7.5kg training pb. Felt good regardless. I might just be the strongest I’ve ever been right now! @manletmorrison @jessdowerr

Some nice easy squats. Currently enjoying some variety with training and incorporating some conditioning - because it can’t be heavy, serious lifting all the time. Sometimes you just need to have some fun. @manletmorrison

Right now everything our clients are doing is so much more interesting and exciting - see them at @strengthlab_hq.

Deadlifting for the first time. Getting massive squat PBs, overcoming mental blocks, not having back pain for the first time in years, dropping kgs while eating carbs, learning about food, making new friends. Watching them brings me so much joy.

Lifting is cool, but have you tried truely watching people learn and develop. Humans are amazing. Grateful I get to be part of their stories 😍 #grateful #ourpeoplearethebestpeople @manletmorrison

Becoming the strongest version of myself was the o

Becoming the strongest version of myself was the only option...

The day I turned 30, my whole life changed.

I didn’t think the significance of that number would affect me, but it did.

And it was the day I decided to kick the self loathing I had for my body to the curb and become my strongest self.

Up to that point, all I really wanted was to be skinny... And at the expense of everything else.

And honestly, it was just so exhausting.

I spent the best part of 12 years hating the scales, the size of my clothes, my reflection, the food I ate, the exercise I did and the never ending battle in my head.

The day I turned 30 I decided that I was no longer going to chase aesthetics, instead I was going to chase strength.

And that moment has served me well for the past 5 years.

The truth is, I didn’t stop caring how I looked, fuck we all want a six pack or lean legs or something that relates to our body being pleasing to us, and if you say you don’t care you’re a liar, but it wasn’t the primary focus.

And by focusing on strength I unlocked this whole new side of me, my body and my relationship with it. I found a gratitude for the things I could do.

I started respecting its limitations and found new ways to fix them, rather than seeing them as a problem.

I nourished myself with care, rather than to produce a number on a device that doesn’t mean anything anyway.

And the aesthetics, well my body composition changed and I looked better as a result of focusing on the weights I was lifting anyway.

And this all provided me with a unique window to see not only myself, but the hurt that existed in the women around me.

The hurt that comes from never feeling like you’re enough, because physically you’re not where you want to be, where you think you should be based on a socially accepted understanding of what normal is, which often gives zero fucks about your actual heath anyway.

Being strong is a constant.

Being a few kilos over or underweight doesn’t change the fact that you’re a badass that can lift heavy things.

So much cooler to care about how much you can lift compared to how much you weigh. @manletmorrison @strengthlab_hq

At Strength Lab we're very very serious. Here is coach @manletmorrison attempting to be @manramp for client @joelpirateninja after our Saturday morning bootcamp session 😆👌🏽

No clients were hurt in the making of this video. Patrick grazed his knee and required medical attention but he'll make a full recovery.

Edit: amazing video editing skills from Joel
