Monolitr & Snowy
Hey Snowy, I was just hitting the gym in the early morning cold, and the chill really sharpens focus and pushes your body to adapt. Have you noticed how winter landscapes influence your shots—those crisp moments of stillness that mirror the intensity you feel when you’re lifting?
I do notice it. The stillness of a snow‑blanketed morning feels like a pause in my breath, and when I set my camera I’m trying to capture that same quiet focus. It’s like the body and the lens both catch a breath before the next move.
I feel that same pause when I line up a heavy lift—breath held, body steady, focus razor sharp. Use that stillness as a cue before each rep, just like you do before you click. Now drop a set of 5 clean and jerk at 80 % of your 1RM, then pause for 3 seconds at the lockout and shoot your next shot. It’s a test of power and precision, body and mind. Keep pushing.
That sounds intense, but I can see how the pause could help. I’m more used to using the quiet of a snow scene to focus, but I’ll try it. Thanks for the push.
Glad to hear it, Snowy. Keep that pause sharp, keep the lift heavy, keep the shots clear. Don’t let the quiet give you slack—use it to power every move. Stay relentless.
I’ll hold that quiet like a breath in the wind, and let it keep my focus steady. Thanks for the encouragement.
