Something many of us already knew, but it’s always interesting to read the science behind it.

Y’all know I like heavy metal, and as such tends to be what I listen to when I lift. But recently I’ve lifted in silence. I get to the gym before anyone else, it’s empty, and I just enjoy the silence. I’m not sure what effect it’s had on me. I think it’s been good for my mind, but bad for my lifting. It helps me calm my mind, but calm is not what I need when the weight is heavy.

Perhaps it’s a signal to me about other aspects of life right now… and a need to take back greater control over things in my life…..
