About this episode

This episode features a conversation with Ross Leppala about the importance of mindset in strength training and overcoming self-imposed limits.

This week I had the opportunity to sit down with Ross Leppala, Reactive Training Systems coach and 2x Masters Powerlifting World Champion. As lifters get stronger physically, what often holds them back isn’t their body, it’s their mind. The good news is that, just like strength, mindset can be trained. And that’s exactly what we unpacked in this episode. In this conversation, we break down: 🧠 Are your limits real or self-imposed? 🔥 The impact of confidence on performance 📈 Why progress requires stepping outside your comfort zone If you’re stuck at a plateau, second guessing attempts or playing it safe in training, this one will be helpful for you.
