Today, we speak with clinical psychologist Dr. Kaili Chen about how mindset affects our every action, and how we can manage it to achieve. Years of research has shown that there are two main inner critical voices that speak to us: Punitive and Demanding. Where the Punitive Critic will repeat negative judgments about your self worth and value to say things like “You are not good enough, why are you even here?” the Demanding Critic will repeat messages like “You should have prepared better.” By understanding where these voices came from, we can better identify, address, and manage them. But how? Dr. Kaili Chen explains. OUR LISTENER SURVEY IS LIVE! TAKE FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN FREE PROCESS GEAR! Take the survey here: https://forms.gle/mkTFFNr6stXvVcDk8 MORE ON DR.

Today, we introduce our newest Process Programming coach, Mark McDermott, who among other things, is strong as F*CK. If you can find the video of your very first barbell snatch, chances are you are watching it in complete embarrassment. The lack of coordination. The struggle to squat low. The bar swinging above your head. Well, for Mark, his first snatch session ended with 90kg! He owes this natural talent to years of competitive gymnastics and the mobility and positional strength he benefitted from it. Also, Ed relates this to his childhood of playing clarinet. How does it relate to strength sport? We’re really not sure. But find out now! OUR LISTENER SURVEY IS LIVE! TAKE FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN A FREE PROCESS TEE!
