he's got betty davis eyes Member 1684, 6001 posts SQ 250, BP 186, DL 291 727.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq	Thanks for the interesting replies. Having someone sneak plates on is probably the way forward for me. I have tried the visualisation stuff, but it doesn't work for me. I cant seem to do it. I will dream about the lift all week if I have a set goal for a session in mind, and always hit it in the dream, which makes the fail on the day more dissapointing. I do agree that partials help confidence with the weight, and make the weight seem a smaller number. Do you also find milestone numbers are often worse? I often find that a once I get a milestone lift out of the way then it goes up a bit quite quickly after that

Really get's me fired up. our gym has 3 s**t cds on a permanent loop so def not working. i pop mine in while im getting ready for lift, chalk, salts belt etc and then straight in do my reps and then ear phones out till next time linkin park, chase and status, eminem, rocky and lost prophets providing the fire being totally honest i am mentally very strong and confident, in fact i may be the opposite, my mind may be stronger than my body lol

I personally prefer the stiffest possible. Member 158, 3110 posts SQ 170, BP 107.5, DL 222.5 500.0 kgs @ 67.4kgs UnEq	100kg bench, 200kg deadlift, these 2 took 6month - 1yr to overcome. You cannot trick yourself into it, you have to believe in it through and through. Its not something that can be manufactured, you have to want it, be zoned and go for it. Mental focus and belief plays a huge part

Grass fed Member 1147, 7710 posts SQ 220, BP 185, DL 272.5 677.5 kgs @ 113kgs UnEq	well there was a reason they called me Emo... now, I dunno, I'm definately better, I think more than anything my expectations are higher, I used to just approach each lift the same way I approached comps, as though I was there to make up the numbers and have a nice time. I don't do that any more

naughty !! Member 642, 2482 posts SQ 204, BP 142.5, DL 260 606.5 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq	alot of the time i used to add random weights to the bar , like 10 a couple of 1.25's then a few 2.5's and dnt count them , then add a 20 , next add another random array , helps loose count and just lift, had a few 4kg and 7.5kg plates. that helped then i stopped ...

I thought Joplin choked on a sandwich? Member 616, 8404 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 220 530.0 kgs @ 78.8kgs UnEq	ystradboy79 said: This is what I was trying to embed Had to get the missus to show me how lol http://youtu.be/KVHOUyrEQ30 Yeah that's cool, 2 questions. What's the name of the welsh body builder who he was talking too? Think he lifts if the bw restricted class rather than the opens (if it's called that) And does anyone know where the name europa comes from if it's been held in the USA? I may be missing something very obvious here

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22054 posts	The mind is a funny thing. When I used to do farmer's dead lifts they felt harder than picking up the same weight when doing a walk! I started telling myself porky pies about going for a walk after doing the pick-up! Power cleans can sometimes feel easier if I'm pressing afterwards too!

tight in the hole Member 2057, 3121 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260 605.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	building confidence with weight by doing partials, band assistance etc really helps me get past mental blocks. For example a 140kg bench used to scare me, and even unracking it I'd struggle with, now I've been doing 170kg board presses and I know 140 will go when I try it.
