There is a lot to be said for not psyching yourself up for heavy lifts. But for me it often works, and music motivates me especially when pushing myself. Some songs more than others, obviously, and the ones that worked today were probably different from the ones I used five years ago.
For you, what song has (now or in the past) motivated you to give 107% on the heavy lift?
Missed that thread. Sorry.
It’s all good - I didn’t want you to feel bad if no one responded.
Plus you might find stuff you like, so win-win.
“Enter Sandman” by Metallica never fails to crank up the intensity for me. Especially for deadlifts. What’s on your pump-up playlist? Oh, and if you’re looking to escape the office grind, check out some tips on how to start working from home.
