When i unload the bar i try to balance how much weight im carrying in each hand. If i grab a plate with right hand, when i grab another it has to be with the left lol. I think of it as a mini arm/forearm workout.

Usually I breathe as much air as I can, puff out my chest, flex my lat, hold the air in a bit and grunt it out, then I grab the bar and pretend I am pulling the earth out of it’s axis. When squatting I like to think I’m Atlas, holding the weight of the world on my back and not letting it crush me.

I have to watch my breathing, I get some brutal stomach gas/burps when I’m doing deads.
I like to pretend I am a robot. When I walk around the gym it’s like T-1000 style and my head can only rotate on the axis of my spine; can’t look at the floor or ceiling. I don’t blink when I walk towards the rack/bench for a heavy set because robots don’t blink. I do a long blink (to get my mind right), then a short blink (I shouldn’t because robots don’t blink) right before I execute the lift.
For most barbell lifts I like to grip the bar and shake it violently without lifting it off the ground before my actual set.

Your workouts must take fucking ages.

Frank Yang is the man. Strong guy for his weight.
I sometimes do self hypnosis before a hard set. Sometimes I unconsciously slip into the monk style pose, sitting on the floor with hands in front of face, prayer style, eyes closed. And when I opened my eyes, many times other gym peeps will make fun of me.
Oh, and I also HAVE to take a dump before hitting the gym.

Yo man, Ronaldo is not gay! he’s just…okay he’s pretty fucking gay but he does play some good football.
I use to get really aggressive and amped up before taking heavy singles, but I’m finding that the stronger I get, the calmer I am before big lifts.
I have a playlist of only 5 songs that I listen to during my last set on big lifts to get me pumped up.
Only 2 different bands:
All That Remains
Bullet for my Valentine.
And there is certain times during the songs that I will begin lifting.
