Everyone Needs a Hypeman

At the gym the other day, I attempted a personal record deadlift. After a few warm-up sets, I loaded the plates, gripped the bar, and took a few deep breaths to mentally prepare myself for this lift. It was time. I was pulling the weight up with all my strength. Struggling mid-lift, a gym trainer passed by, watched, and shouted, “Move that weight!” His encouragement gave me the strength I needed to complete the lift successfully.

Having a supportive network is essential in all aspects of life - at the gym, at work, and in your creative pursuits. Encouragement from others can provide the boost you need when facing tough hurdles.
