psyching yourself up....

[gr8ape]

how long does it usually takes? can you do it everytime in the gym? what do you think about?

it usually takes me 2-3 minutes of concentration, and i think about how big i want to be

I'm psyched as soon as my alarm goes off at 2:50 am....I am ready to rock!!!

I have sex with my girlfriend before going into the gym. Also, I rip peopel off the day before for gym memberships because I care about me and only me! I am the greatest salesman ever! Boiler Room baby! My nuts are still on the small side, though, thank god for Cialis!

Note: This post is a joke. If you thought otherwise, you are a fucking idiot.

Psyching up? How long? I have already posted my "light switch" analogy. How long does it take to flick on a switch? That's me. Can I do it every time? No. When I get to a point of being overtrained or being ill I just can't focus. I think about two things during the entire set: my technque and not failing. I want to use solid form and I don't want some inanimate piece of shit metal to stop me from moving it as much as I want to.

again, I like the powerlifting catmosphere at the gym I train at.

It's an inner drive for me at times. But when the end of the day is drawing near, sometimes I can use an "outside" source.
music is another example

music psyches me up then i make myself shake all over if its a really hard set of deads but usually music does the trick everytime. i usually stay psyched throughout my workout though i just go to an even higher level for the super hard lifts that use most of my body.

right before sets i only think about how i'm going to kill that weight. first i try to hit the goal of reps for that new weight, then i try to crush it if that makes sense.

yeah, that sums up that workout with IH I'm sure!

or eminem comes to mind:

Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted…one moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti
He’s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won’t come out
He’s chokin, how everybody’s jokin now
The clock’s run out, time’s up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes rabbit, he choked
He’s so mad, but he won’t give up that easy

Hey mobsta, your avatar rocks!

Gr8pe: i personally don't psych myself up.. i don't have a fixed way of thinking or whatever at least. Once i get the weight of the bar, thats when i'm pumped and ready to go.

Had a period once when everybody was talking bout concentration and psyching up to get the best results.. tried it but hell.. last night's blondes kept flasing in my mind. This was a waste of time fore me. I just take my rest, get under the weight and push. Whtever suits you bro.. but its not for me.

jp that was the first time we worked out and i got lucky cause he was sick,, but this time,, IH kicked my ass my back is sore from handing him those fucking 150lb db he tosses around like toys..

[jimpaul]

that song gets me going, I don't like rap, but some of his songs I do.

I think I'd have to tell Ih, "Get your own 45 pound plates, what do you think I am a wheelbarrel or something"

Seriously just getting weights for these guys should count as a workout lol
