It's become a key component of my toolkit to tend to my own mental health and wellness, because every time I do it I feel fulfilled when I'm out there with the people I love the most and I'm doing something hard and I'm pushing myself to a certain limit, it's really rewarding.
What happens when you mix the intensity of powerlifting with the quest for mental well-being? In this episode of 'Gettin Your Life Back with Cade Cooper', Cade sits down with his younger brother, Clay Cooper, to share a truly remarkable story. Growing up as one of five boys in the Cooper household wasn't always easy, especially with early experiences of violence and witnessing Cade's struggle with addiction. But Clay found a unique way to cope and thrive: the discovery deadlift.
This isn't just about lifting weights; it's about lifting spirits too. During the pandemic, Clay combined his love for powerlifting with outdoor hiking, creating a powerful routine that helped him and many others manage anxiety. He talks about how this practice not only strengthened his body but also his mind, offering a sense of fulfillment and peace. Clay also opens up about his incredibly healthy marriage and the lessons on love he learned from their parents.
If you're searching for new ways to tackle your own mental health challenges, Clay's journey might just offer the inspiration you need.
