Crack a hard on, lose concentration and fall over.
Set done!

Dont do it tonight in my opinion just wait to the next session and smash its ass hole in. Dont fucking quit. I have a slight maybe not the smartest idea in the world but its what I would do. Un rack the bar and step back way away from the rack that way there is absolutely nothing to stop the bar if you fail. Then your survive or die adrenaline will kick in.
Step back and squat your 20 reps that way its not just a option to sit the weight down or give up in the whole. Its your " you can’t stop in the middbe of lake" analogy for squatting if you stop in the hole your fucked and you don’t have the option to just put the weight down so you have continue on. Not the safest way to do it but hey that’s kinda the point. Get pumped up mad as fuck hit some nose tork if you have it and rip that bar in half.[/quote]
I like what Reed said. Think about it this way: You CANNOT stop before you’ve done 20 reps. This really needs to be in your head and anything but this will count as failure.
If you really wanna push yourself do Dan John’s Mass Made Simple. It will require you to squat bodyweight for 50 reps in one set (After roughly 4 weeks build up).

I’m coming up with all sorts of excuses from “you’re pushing yourself too hard, just back off and take it easy for awhile” to “why are you even doing this to yourself? you should just give up” to “Lifting just isn’t your thing. You gave it a chance, now you can quit.”
How do you guys push yourselves through all those excuses?[/quote]
There’s this one guy I know and, without getting into details, I don’t like him. At all. i’ve known him for years but being in the same room brings up my fight or flight instinct almost everytime. (Flight? Ha, yeah okay.)
When things really start to suck during a workout, like around rep 12 of a set of breathing squats, the thought pops up in my head, “So and so would do just one more, but you wanna punk out now?”
So my advice is to find a nemesis or arch-enemy, either a real or imaginary, and then make sure you’re not training for yourself, you’re training to out-train them.

I like doing this too. There’s a guy from out rival team that I picture when I get hyped up for a PR. I just remember his face because he’s a unique looking dude (black curly hair, darker skin, and facial hair).
Every time we play them a lot is on the line and it gets pretty chippy. The rivalry goes back over a hundred years and is a huge deal to all the players.
The good thing for me is that I’m actually going to play this guy, so that really ups the ante.
I just made a pact with myself to stay under the bar until all 20 reps were done. Take as long as you need to between reps, keep adding weight, and you’ll get to the point where you’d rather be squatting than standing there.
