That’s only before a 1RM or something because I usually need to change gym after I do that.
Most of the time I’ll stick to ripping some hair from my chest while letting out a Neanderthalian battle cry. That or the good ol’ sneaky 45 plate on the big toe because it can easily pass off as an accident. And as a bonus a cardio bunny usually run to me to see if if I’m ok and I bang her in the locker room to boost my test.[/quote]
OHH MAN I cut my jugular too before a big lift we should be the … JUGULAR BROS.

If you think about it it makes sense. Back in the day, when we would be hunting or whatever, if some lion would claw us it would make sense that the adrenaline and CNS activation of it would be damn useful. I mean, we would probably end up wrestling/fighting with the animal at that moment (and dying, LOL).
As people have said, whatever works for you. Most people use their imagination to psyche themselves up. But it’s all basically the same thing - creating an aggressive environment to waken up the CNS and get the adrenaline flowing.

I’ve tried that once but it ended up killing 6 cardio bunnies, 3 rack curling bros and the naughty receptionist and…and…I COULDN’T STOP IT! I tried! I swear I tried but I couldn’t! I JUST COULDN’T! WHYYYYYY!
if its come down to where you have to cut yourself to psych yourself up about lifting, maybe you need to think about the reasons you lift. If it’s superficial, like impressing a girl, or your bros, maybe its time to reconsider lifting. If you love lifting, you won’t need a fucking knife to drive you. seriously wtf.
