ENCOURAGING POWERLIFTERS TO START SPEAKING UP ABOUT THEIR MENTAL HEALTH

Powerlifting is 95% mental and 5% physical.

Well, the percentage is a number I came up with. But the point is, most of powerlifting is mental, which encompasses the mindset and the inner dialogue required to be a successful powerlifting athlete. But more importantly, many of us are drawn to heavy lifting as a coping mechanism for poor mental health, so why aren't we talking about it? I started No Restrictions in 2020 when I noticed that there weren't any brands that effectively spoke about the powerful potential powerlifting has on improving mental health. My vision with No Restrictions is to become the leading voice of mental health in the strength sport industry and to help others feel less alone in their struggle. I hope you'll join me on this journey to raising awareness of mental health in powerlifting.
