Head Game
What a head game our sport is… I have been seeing Jon Davie (www.prepared2win.com.au) for about 6 weeks now and I have made great progress. I have dropped significant bodyfat, and put on a kg or two. And in the natural BB world every gram counts! I couldn’t be happier with the results. However… even though I know this, I can’t help but feel ’small’ at times.
I’m 6′3 and 108kgs. As I get leaner my clothes are getting a little baggier. At training last night I had it bad. I know I’m looking much better and making good progress but here come the head games! 
I don’t let is phase me, but I am trying to learn from it as it is going to get much more intense when comp prep comes around. My training style is very much you classic volume bodybuilding, combined with powerlifting. Or as some have referred to it as ‘Power bodybuilding’. I’m no stranger to the head games that come with getting under a new PB lift. The weight may feel like its going to push you through the floor, or crush your knees to dust the minute you take it off of the rack, but if you get your head in the right place you can power through the lift as if it were a warm up. I have often done a 1RM lift better than the previous lift 40kgs lighter! Purely due to getting my head around the lift.
I’m quickly learning that the physique game is just as, if not more, intense on head space.
