It’s not always about lifting huge numbers. Sometimes, it’s about overcoming fear and doubt. Fitness is as much mental as it is physical, and sometimes, our heads get in the way of our gains.

Annie Thorisdottir celebrated a nice win recently. She shared the moment on Instagram, writing:

“Sometimes the mental barrier is taller than the physical. This is not a PR but a massive mental victory for me since I haven’t snatched heavy since the Games last year. My shoulder is now strong enough and so is my mind.”

She completed two reps at 75kg.
