Op here, Ive cried in the gym before while attempting a 70kg ohp. Have no shame brother
Aiden Ward
I think about my fatass.
I remember when I was unhappy. I think about the first time I picked up a bar to do a shitty deadlift. I think about how my black shirt couldn't hide my rolls of fat. I think about that guy. Who one day decided to put on his running shoes and follow that couch to 5k infographic.
I do it to honor him. He would tell me to keep going.
So I lift

That's beautiful brother. Stay strong

This. When I have a decent meal, coffee, and listen to the Bugez before a lift, it's always a good fucking workout.

You guys know that raising your cortisol levels lowers gainz? You will tire your CNS much quicker going 100% hyphy mode when lifting, lowering your reps/sets/volume. Intensity is good but in moderation. Try one workout in monk mode, slow controlled breathing and minimal psyching.

I think it's easier to motivate myself than have some one yell "push!" In my ear

I remind myself of the people I see outside that I forget about because they'll amount to nothing.
Lifting heavy is necessary for gains. Deep breathing before a big lift will lower your cortisol production. You can save the slow, measured pace for your hypertrophy days.

As long as i'm forgotten last user, that's all I want.
Step 1.) youtube.com/watch?v=M9udAirjw3U&t=90s Step 2.) Slap face Step 3.) Get "addressed" to the lift (under a squat or bench, in the starting position of a deadlift, etc) Step 4.) Big old mean deep breath Step 5.) Lift

You will never have the vitality that comes with using your emotions to Push through hard moments. You will never understand the full human experience if you don't use your emotions as a tool.

Its like you guys aren’t autistic and don’t want to make it

I like lifting in silence in my garage, just hearing the plates move and rattle and shit. I don't hype up before lifts but I totally get why people might. I train weightlifting though not bodybuilding/powerlifting so idk if that makes a difference.
i never hype for a gym lift. save the psychup for the platform.
Eli Harris
i read a newspaper article then get under the bar and lift desu only the weak willed need excessive "hype ups" for lifts

I think while I'm busting my ass in here, everyones out drinking and enjoying their ignorant lives then I think about all the ugly people getting laid while I'm not
