Our guest this week is none other than Stacy ‘Bama’ Burr.

Bama is a former competitive power lifter who, in 2019, achieved her lifelong goal of becoming the Strongest Woman in the World, achieving a powerlifting total of 1,435lbs - including a 565lb squat, a 320lb bench press and a 550lb deadlift - all while weighing in at only 148lbs bodyweight.

The road to this achievement was extremely rocky. She lost friends, lost touch with family, and nearly lost herself to a battle with depression and hopelessness when her goals seemed out of reach. But she battled back, continued to do the work, and ultimately achieved everything she set out to in the sport of powerlifting. These days, Bama is traveling around the country hosting workshops where she teaches others how to build a Champion Mindset, which is how I was fortunate enough to connect with her. Stacy also hosts a weekly podcast called The Champion Mindset Podcast, and she coaches powerlifting athletes and anyone who wants to get strong through her training and coaching company - Bama Brick Squad. 

You guys are in for a treat today, and you’re guaranteed to leave with strategies you can implement TODAY to start living like a champion.

As you listen, don’t hesitate to hit pause and take notes, send this episode to a friend, or snap a screenshot of the podcast and post it on social media (just tag me - @dr.davidskolnik.dpt and Bama - @bamaburr) - because everyone deserves to live like a champion!

Action Plan

Your action plan for the week is this:

Make your bed. And I mean that both literally and figuratively. First, literally make your bed or Bama is gonna come knockin’ at your door and you don’t want that. Second, on the more metaphorical level, start taking steps to make small things into big habits. Practice being disciplined in the shallow end before going to the high dive. The results of small disciplines will surprise you.

Alright, that’s it for this week. Until next time, we wish you STRENGTH and GOOD HEALTH.
