Alex Deken is a powerlifter and authentic legend. He is the head coach at PTC South Melbourne and 10th all-time powerlifter in the 90kg class. Yet despite these accolades, our episode took on a slightly different approach this week. The first time I met Alex was, as you'll see, on an unreleased episode of AdventureFit Radio. Alex spoke to us about his fear of public speaking or as he puts it, 'self expression'. Immediately after a panic attack, the vibe became authentic and purposeful. Myself, Alex and the other boys sat and spoke about the ways anxiety manifests itself within our worlds. A few months later, I was lucky enough to catch up with Alex for another chat focused more specifically on how both he and I deal with our fears (of public speaking among others) and how communicating, utilising subjective tools and practicing confidence as an adaptable mindset can make all the difference. Enjoy!
Alex Deken is a powerlifter and personal trainer. He has a great interest in and passion for exercise and weightlifting and for many years has immersed himself in these areas. We first catch up with Alex, but he has a panic attack and the boys decide to just chill with him. Fast forward to a few months later and he talks to us about his fear of public speaking. Much later he talks about the Vertical Diet and about nutrition. Finally, he discusses his fear of expression. Another great guest on the show today. Enjoy!
