dont know if its been discussed before but i just wanted to mention a different mindset of approaching beating the log book. everyone including myself usually has the mindset of gotta smash the book which i agree is great but i started to find somedays i would almost get antsy about having to beat it and of course the next thing to come from it is bad form just to beat the book. what i started to notice is traning when after a bad night of sleep or being sick and just not expecting to beat the log book i usually find myself more focussed and beat the previous week while having way better form. so
i starting approaching some of my lifts as such: nice and controlled, stay calm and keep strict form and if i cant beat the book then i get to try something new. now im not trying to fail just to change, cause its usually my favourite movements which i dont want to loose get me antsy.
its almost like the sportsteam who is eliminated from the playoffs is now loose with no pressure and becomes unbeatable. i know its def not for eveyone but on certain lifts or specific bodyparts i find it helps greatly. just
my 2 cents
