Hey, Brian Aganad.
(00:00):
Welcome to the The AsanaAcademy.
Today's show what I want tostart actually.
Before I actually get into.
Hey, Brian Argonaut.
Welcome to the Austin academyand.
In today's show before we getinto it, I want to start out by
actually welcoming.
(00:21):
All of the new listeners I'venoticed that have come to the
podcast recently.
It's funny.
If any of you guys actuallylistening to this, have a
podcast yourself.
I don't know if you track.
Or you pay attention to how yourpodcast grows, but it's funny
how it works is.
You do a lot of episodes andnothing really happens.
And then.
(00:42):
All of a sudden, it's like a bigstair-step up where it's wow,
all of a sudden, all theepisodes got, thousands of new
listeners.
Out of nowhere.
And it's interesting because.
I started, I really just startedthis podcast back up again at
the beginning of 2023, becauseso many people had asked me
about the podcast and theyenjoyed it.
(01:03):
And it's funny because, aftercreating.
A whole bunch of new episodes.
You don't really see much atfirst.
But then all of a sudden it'slike a big stair step up.
And I was looking through thestatistics and this was the same
thing.
I have another podcast calledmindset daily.
And same thing happened theretoo, where you see like a big
step up in listeners at thatkind of just show up.
(01:27):
So it's funny the way podcastingworks.
Anyway, I'd bring that up.
And so I figured what I wantedto do on this show today is just
welcome all the new.
Listeners to.
The show and if you aren'tfamiliar, With me, my company is
called the Austin academy and,I'm most known for.
My, my coaching program calledbody breakthrough, total core
(01:48):
transformation.
And it is a three-month programspecifically designed to help
you to get your press handstand,right?
So in 12 weeks, no matter whereyou are, it's a complete total
system designed to help you getto your press handstand.
And really in a very streamlinedway in about.
And about 20, 30 minutes perday.
(02:09):
So in that program, we teach youhow to not work against your
body, but work with it.
So we show you how to use youranatomy correctly instead of.
Always working against your bodyand we take an anatomical
approach and we go through andwe show you where your weak
spots are.
And.
(02:30):
We walk you through a planspecifically designed to address
those things and help you getthere.
We like to take a very verycalculated, but also.
A very methodical step-by-stepapproach, but also very
efficient approach so that, ifyou're someone that's training,
Hours per day thinking that's,what's actually going to help
you get to the next level.
(02:50):
It's actually not.
And we show that to a lot of ourclients.
Which is, if you're doing theright things.
2030 minutes per day.

(03:34):
So you can get a gauge on whereyou're at and.
What you need to succeed in whatyou need to get to your press
handstand.
Anyway again, welcome all newlisteners.
If you want information on thisstuff, I do shoot me a message.
I'll get it over to you.
So on today's show.
What I wanted to talk about waslike there's another side of
press handstand.
I feel like people.
(03:56):
Struggle with and.
It's the psychological side.
I feel like there is.
A, like one of the main reasonswhy people struggle is there's.
Psychology behind the trainingthat actually prevents them
from.
Reaching their goals and gettingdepressed, handstands and.
The psychology, like anything isreally important.
(04:18):
Which is like how you talk toyourself, your beliefs, how,
what you believe is capable,what you believe is capable for
yourself.
Like all of those kinds ofthings play a large role and
whether or not you actuallysucceed.
And I find like in the.
In the press handstand communityspecifically.
(04:40):
The hand balancing community is.
It's all very logical.
It's all very like drill based.
It's all very like.
Do this.
And, but the reality of it isthere's a lot of people, the
reason people struggle.
With press and Stan is alsobecause of their own.
They're their own innermonologue, their own.
(05:00):
Inner they're their own innerbeliefs, right?
They'll say they're too old.
Everybody has an excuse thatcan't do it.
Like they're too old.
There.
They'll say their arms are toolong.
Their legs are too long.
They have some specificcondition.
They have something or otherlike it's almost like what I
call special snowflake syndrome.
In that.
(05:20):
People tend to feel like theirown.
They have very specific thingsonly to them.
That prevent them from getting apress handstand and that in turn
creates a.
A negative belief cycle, whichis I don't believe I can do it.
It's not possible for me.
So instead of actually workingon something with the belief,
(05:43):
with the intent and the beliefthat you can get it, you
actually start to.
You do something basically withthe intent of proving yourself.
Which is, yeah, I was right thewhole time.
I wasn't capable of doing it.
And it's funny because like in,and also if you're new to my
world too, you can join theFacebook group core strength
society.
So you can go in there.
(06:04):
It's in the show notes below.
You can join that, but I posteda question there the other day.
What's the most difficult thingabout press ants and feeding.
It's funny.
I saw.
A couple of their responses werearound age, right?
People believe that they are tooold.
They believe that, I'm too oldto get it.
And so that's just.
(06:25):
That becomes a negative belief,right?
Which is, I believe I'm too old,do something.
And then when you're old and youdon't believe you can get it,
then you start to tell yourself.
That.
I don't know why I'm doing this.
I really want to do it, but Ican't.
And so the way that you trainbecomes not with the intent of
(06:47):
actually getting a presshandstand, but with the intent
of proving yourself, and again,you have to be careful what you
choose to believe, becausewhatever you choose to believe.
You're right about it.
So you want to pick beliefs thatempower you and that's why.
Because look, the thing is Iknow this from, I know this from
experience in that.
(07:08):
Clients don't just need a planto follow.
And you don't just need a planto follow.
If you're struggling with yourpress handstand, it's not just
the plan, but it's also thesupport and it's also the
accountability.
And those two aspects along withthe training plan are what
actually helps people get totheir goal.
And as silly as the sounds like.
(07:30):
Like with my clientsspecifically, like I notice
sometimes they'll be doingsomething and they feel like
it's not working immediately.
Like it hasn't worked in twodays.
I haven't seen a change in twodays, so I'm not sure if.
If it's working, but the realityof it is sometimes all they need
is Nope, you're on the righttrack.
Just keep going.
And.
(07:50):
All of a sudden it just becomesthis.
Oh wow.
Brian told me I'm on the righttrack.
So let me just keep going.
And then boom.
All of a sudden they get resultsand training for press handstand
is a lot like actually growing apodcast.
In a way it's as I just pointedout stairsteps, it's less of a
straight line and more of likestairsteps and you do a lot of
(08:13):
things.
You don't notice a difference,but then it's a step up.
And.
Then you reach that next stepup.
And you reached that, that nextstep up.
But it's the psychology inbetween the flat parts of your
training that determine.
Whether or not, you'reultimately going to reach the
top of the staircase and.
That's what you have to bereally mindful of.
(08:34):
Is an ask.
You have to ask yourself whatkind, what kinds of limiting
beliefs do you have about yourpress and Stan?
And your ability to train,right?
Because I can tell you like,Every single person who I've
seen learn how to do one in myprogram, where they born
talented.
No.
Were they born with all thestrength in the world, know
(08:57):
where they born it with all theflexibility in the world?
No.
Right where they born with allthe knowledge in the world?
No.
Did they understand theiranatomy completely?
The second they popped out ofthe womb?
No.
But what they have done is theyhave committed to learning those
things and.
(09:18):
By putting in the effort andputting in the time and all
those skills are learnable bythe way.
And when you do put in the timeto do that, you actually can
change your body and.
Then you're your own psychologydoesn't get in the way.
Cause for example someone toldme the other day that, and I
always like to point this out topeople, right?
(09:39):
Every single person that goesinto any of my coaching
programs.
Like we talked to them, or Italk to them and.
We have a conversation where wewant to know what's going on.
We want to know what theirlimiting beliefs are.
We want to know how we can helpthem.
We want to know what they'redoing, et cetera, et cetera.
Like long story short.
We want to know their wholetraining background.
(09:59):
We want to know what they'vedone.
What's worked well, what hasn'tworked well.
And so we know exactly whatwe're working with.
And so that, that way I can puttogether a better plan for them
to give them exactly what theyneed.
But on these phone calls.
We hear all sorts of differentthings, right?
We hear all sorts of.
Excuses.
For example, I feel just theother day we heard the one I
(10:21):
feel like I'm too tall, right?
And this person was six one.
Okay.
Like I've seen people, we've hadpeople in our program.
Over six, five, do a presshandstand.
And they believe six one is tootall, right?
Okay.
I'm five 11.
So that's two more inches thanme, but ultimately that's the
one belief that they think thatstopping them from getting
(10:42):
there.
And.
And I say, this is that forevery reason why you believe you
can't do it, I can show yousomebody else who has had your
situation or worse than has doneit.
So you have to choose, you haveto really choose to be careful
about what you believe and youhave to really choose.
To be diligent about yourmindset and about.
(11:04):
What are the negative beliefsthat I choose to carry because
they're holding you back.
They hold you back and that'sthe other issue.
And that's the other thing toreally take into consideration.
For your training is that if youbelieve something isn't possible
for yourself, how are you goingto show up when you train?
If you don't believe it'spossible, you're not going to be
(11:24):
very enthusiastic, you're notgoing to be very.
You're not gonna have very muchenergy, right?
And your body will feel thatdeflated energy.
And if you don't think that yourbody feeds off of what your mind
tells it.
Then, you've got some stuff tolearn about mindset and you've
got some stuff you got to learnthe power of how this works.
(11:45):
And that's why I started a wholeseparate podcast on it.
Mindset daily, but.
Now on the other side, askyourself.
If I knew, if I was a hundredpercent certain that I could get
my press and Stan.
It's only a matter of time.
I'm just going through themotions.
How would you show up?
You would show up way different.
(12:05):
You would be excited.
You'd be thrilled to do trainingevery day because you realize I
am going to get there.
And so curating that beliefcurating.
That.
Your mind and what you choose tobelieve.
Is critical in advancing yourpractice.
(12:25):
And so there's an element to it,right?
Like you have to tell yourself,like training for progress is
not just about physicaltraining, but it's about mental
training and it's professionalathletes, don't just do the
physical drills.
They have.
Sports psychologist, right?
They have coaches, they workwith specifically on their
mindset to dial those two thingsin and.
(12:46):
Most of it.
Most of like when you see peoplewho struggle.
With press handstand.
Oftentimes they have limitingbeliefs that have created the
environment with which they'regoing to struggle.
Like for some reason theybelieve certain things won't
work for them.
Or for some reason they believe.
That The training may see worksfor everybody else, but not for
(13:09):
them.
And these types of beliefscreate.
They create doubt.
They create seeds of doubt andthe seeds of doubt in your body.
It actually deflates the energyin your body.
It ch it changes yourphysicality, literally your
beliefs change your entirephysiology around.
You.
You have to.
That's one of the secrets by theway.
(13:31):
To training with more energyrecovering quicker.
Et cetera, et cetera is actuallyhaving a positive mindset, but
actually having beliefs thatserve you in reaching your
goals.
Because those beliefs affectyour physiology and that affects
in turn the way you show up.
And when you believe positivethings, your body feels strong.
It makes the training easier.
Your body becomes stronger.
(13:52):
And.
If you don't, if you don'tbelieve these things, then your
body's weak, right?
Like your body feels sweet.
You feel deflated.
You feel.
You don't feel like you'reperforming.
At your best, right?
Like your body's tense, it'stight.
You feel stress, right?
Cortisol stress.
Stress is inflammatory.
(14:13):
Stress produces cortisol, whichis inflammatory.
And that stress affects yourbody.
It affects your recovery, right?
If you're inflamed.
Your body doesn't recover asquick.
It takes longer to heal fromthings.
So all of it is intertwined andall of it is all wrapped in to
your training and it's allwrapped into.
(14:34):
The types of progress thatyou're going to get, you have to
keep all those things in check.
You have to keep your mindset.
And check the entire timebecause.
The more that works, the morethat your training starts to
work.
And I'm not saying it's justmindset.
Obviously the training matters.
You can't just sit on the couchand think positive thoughts and
think your way to oppress Anson,you still have to train really
(14:56):
hard, but your mindset in it iswhat.
Your mindset is what ultimately.
It's like the linchpin thatholds everything together.
So that's the thought for theday is what kinds of limiting
beliefs do you have?
What kinds of limiting beliefs?
Do you have that are holding youback and especially for you guys
who are new, maybe this is thefirst podcast of mine you've
(15:18):
ever listened to.
And you're just becomingfamiliar with me.
A good place to start is combthrough those limiting beliefs.
What are the negative beliefsthat you carry about yourself?
And.
And how might they affect yourtraining?
Because those negative beliefs,when you can get rid of them,
It's amazing at what happens inyour practice and what happens
(15:39):
to your body when instead ofhaving these negative
disempowering thoughts aboutyourself, you remove those from
your head and replace them withpowerful.
Empowering thoughts and beliefsthat help you to get to your
goal all really important.
All right, so I'll leave itthere.
I'll leave it there on today'sshow.
And.
(16:00):
Again, if you are wanting toapply for the program to work in
our group or work with me,one-on-one just shoot me a

I'll get back to you with.
With the application, whateveryou feel like you need, if you
want to join us in one of ourprograms.
(16:21):
And then also you know whathelps.
So if you are new and you arejust listening to the show for
the first time, the reasonyou're hearing it, and the
reason you found it is becausethe people before you have taken
the time to share this, they'veshared it and they leave the
room.
They've left or leave.
They've left a review of thepodcast.
And that's somehow got it intoyour feed and that's somehow how
you found it.
(16:41):
So pay it forward.
A few yourself can take sometime to share it.
You can take some time to leavereview that helps the show grow.
That helps to get into.
The eyes and the ears of morepeople I'd greatly appreciate
that.
All right.
So that's all I've got for youin today's show again, mindset
matters.
What you think about yourselfmatters, and it contributes
(17:01):
directly to how you train in theway your body performs.
All that matters.
So I'll leave you with that.
Have a good rest of your day andI'll talk to you soon.
