Nose Tork and Disturbed 'DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS' blaring gets me amped up everytime !!!!
getting mad and psyched up isn't really needed IMO.
I just visualize the lift and focus.
It's funny how many peeps get going with screams, shouting, chops, and what not. I'm not hating, it just never worked for me so I find it amusing.
Best advice I could give is just be sure you don't get psyched up too early. I see a lot of guys psyching up too early and they end up having an adrenaline dump before their lift.
For me though, my adrenaline kicks in right when I grab the bar. It's odd; I'll be all calm and relaxed, even joking around at the meets but once I grab that bar, I can feel the surge run through my body. Even the ammonia doesn't hit me until I touch that bar.
+1 Knowing that people faced with extreme circumstances can sometimes perform amazing feats of strength, I visualize things like a family member stuck under a car. Seems to make a big difference on PR attempts.
I like to usually think about some fucked up shit that is gonna piss me off. Like somebody raping my mother or somebody doing some fucked up shit to somebody I love you know something traumatic. Sometimes I like to think there is a piece of ass waiting for me and all I have to do is complete the lift and I can go fuck it.
Having a training partner call me a pussy and tell me I'll never get the lift works pretty well too.
Just some shit to really pump me up. Fucking works pretty well for me man.
