Context

  • several years ago when I was doing a bench press with a spotter, I noticed that I became automatically stronger. Even when it isn’t my first set
  • I still remember that feeling. Just by having someone behind your back. Ready to support you if you fail, you are automatically stronger and can go for longer
  • so now I try to do the same for others, Even strangers (in a non-creepy way)
  • today I found myself naturally helping out this guy that I’ve seen in the dining center in the middle of his sets
    • I got him to do 10 in his final 2 reps
    • in the end he mentioned how he felt so strong in these last 2 sets
  • crazy how one small act of kindness leads to someone feeling and being much stronger

Feelings

  • feels good
  • I ended the interaction basically validating what he said. How having someone spot you provides you much more Trust and Confidence in your Self

Thoughts

  • This somewhat aligns with my love and Purpose to help people discover their full potential
