Ok, here is for real what I do. I watch the Brokeback Mountain kiss scene on youtube. You know the one? Where Heath and Jake are feverishly making out in front of Heath’s house and then his wife looks out the window and is like WTF? Something about that just gets me going.

Hahahah holy shit this is why people think powerlifters are retarded.
Anyone seen the film Up? I imagine a big bunch of helium filled balloons tied to each end of the bar. All different colours and stuff. And then, with the fact I know the balloons are going to make the weight feel lighter, I zone out for a while, too, like some others on here.
I river dance.

For some reason I kept biting the air before hitting my deadlifts today. I dunno.

i hope you guys are friends and thats some sort of fucked up inside joke.
anyway, before PR attempts, i like to pound out a couple of stacked 19 year old virgins. i believe this is called a “dynamic warm up”.

Negative.
Any lift above 500 pounds will require a pre-lift ritual. I like to go up to the loaded barbell and talk to the stack of 45’s, telling them just one time, you and me, let’s do this…slap the plates with the chalk in my hands and during the set-up, I would say to myself, light weight Mutha F$%ka and take my breaths and do it.

Helluva a good fella too. I met him at the Arnold classic a few years ago. He took time to talk to my boy and I and my son got a picture with him. He was thrilled! One of the things thta stoked the fire in him.
I get very calm and quiet collecting my thoughts in a positive way. Maybe I’ll play a favorite song. Then I just flip the switch right when I’m going to attempt the weight.
Im a bit like Benni
Skip to 45 seconds in this video to see my normal DL PR attempt slapping.
wish I had on consistent ritual that worked every time.
but it’s a mixture, sometimes shouting, loud talk, deep breaths followed by loud grunts,
before a deadlift PR i’ll beat on my chest or tense my whole body real hard.
