When I first stepped into the weight room, I was a ball of nerves. Everything felt foreign, the

clanging metal, the sound of determination in every grunt, and the rhythmic motions that

everyone but me seemed to know by heart. I’d look around at the people lifting what felt like

mountains, feeling like I’d stumbled into a world that I wasn’t meant to be in. My heart raced,

and self-doubt crept in. I almost turned back to the comfort of the ellipticals and the treadmill.

But something in me sparked. Maybe it was curiosity, or perhaps I was just tired of feeling

intimidated by something I hadn’t tried. So, I stayed. My first lift wasn’t pretty; I could barely

manage a few reps without my muscles giving out. But despite the initial struggle, I found

myself coming back the next day and then the next. Each day, I felt myself growing a little

stronger, not just physically, but also mentally.

PREPARE TO TAKE ON EVERYTHING WITH YOUR HAND.THIS SEASON STRIPS IT BACK.

were I experienced subtle changes in the opening weeks. With every gradual weight

inceament my body felt battered. I honestly felt like ”noodles” ,then, I started noticing that my

energy outside the gym felt different; I was more alert, more alive. It was as though each

session was an anchor point, a reminder that my body could handle more than I’d given it

credit for. This was more than just the physical progress, since lifting began to change the

way I faced challenges outside the gym.

WORKING DAILY, WITH GOALS IN MIND WILL MAKE ALL THE DIFERENCE WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE

As more time wennt by, I started setting rgoals for myself. I wanted to reach certain

benchmarks, not because anyone else was watching, but because I wanted to prove to

myself that I could. I was no longer lifting just weights; I was lifting away the fear, the self-

doubt, and the hesitation that had held me back in other areas of my life. Each personal best

felt like a quiet victory.

Then came one of the hardest months in my adopted trainning program where I hit a

plateau and couldn’t seem to push past it, no matterhow much effort I put to overcome.

Every time I hit the gym, I faced the same weight, the same number, and the same wall of

frustration. It felt like all my effort had reached a dead end and I honestly neede a reolve to

beat this Buggieman, becauseI wanted to give up, wondering if I’d reached my limit.

I had to build a resolve. I reminded myself why I’d started this journey and focused on my

form, my mindset, and the reason behind every lift. Slowly, but steadily, things shifted after I

cahged my mental resolve. The weights began to feel manageable again, and the weeks

that followed, I shattered my plateau albeit by a marginal improvemment,by lifting slightly

more than I had ever imagined.

Through the years that I have been trainning, I have come to understand that strength

training isn’t just about the weight on the bar, but also about ones mental resilience. I have

come to a belief that if I could push through the weight challenges, I could handle whatever

came my way outside of it.

In retrospect, every time III go to the gy for weight training, I carry a quiet confidence that I

didn’t have before. I know that no matter the weight I face, both in the gym and in life, I am

prepared to challenge my fitntess of body and my mind, sice I can now comffortably handle

it. Weight training has taught me that resilience isn’t just about physical strength. It’s about

overcoming self-doubt, embracing the journey, and proving to yourself that you’re stronger

than you ever realized. And that’s how you get to defeat the boogieman.
