Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator | I think I still need to work on this, to find exactly what suits me best. I know I can't go as crazy on bench press, otherwise my form just goes to s**t. I need to focus on concentration, rather than anger. I've only ever really been what I would call 'in the zone' once or twice, when I deadlifted 400lbs and 200kgs for the first time respectively. I didn't scream or shout, I just focused absolutely intently. This involved being on my own for a few minutes and then just staring at the bar for a bit before getting tensed up and pulling. | ||

Has turned into a fucking nobhead - any guesses as to what caused it ?? Member 30, 520 posts SQ 185, BP 160, DL 200545.0 kgs @ 91kgs UnEq | I like to slap my face, shouting at the bar or my geoff capes pic also helps. Visulisation works to a certan extent. I find it realy hard to get motivated for the bench though. if i get realy angry like i do for the squat/over head press/deadlift then i mess up the lift. | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10032 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | I find the way Dan shouts "get it up!" at you very arousing. He's obviously done it often in training. What I do is rather as recommended in Dinosaur Training - I just visualise the whole lift, from setup to completion, repeatedly. Then I do it. Fairly calm. I do talk to the bar a bit, but I don't really get excitable until *afterwards* . | ||

pink french superstar beard Member 26, 4030 posts SQ 190, BP 0, DL 205395.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | Most of the time i wish i acted like Rick does:"Visualise the lift..."! Yet this i cant do all the time, i tend to get psyched up whith my breathing, then i slap my legs and get a spotter/friend/anyone slapping my back a couple of times. I agree though, you need a deadlift attitude same goes with the squat. | ||

left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | i just focus a wee bit, i'm not very good at it, but it helps to start huffing and puffing and talking finnish to myself Couple Sugden Slaps have been observed to help as well. | ||

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | I can get really angry for a lift, sometimes too angry. I try really hard to just get a nice rage going on inside, think of things that piss me off, it often does spill over to some kind of random noise or shouting. I often slap myself on the temple with both hands, seems to work really well at clearing my head, and in the past I used a hard clap as a kind of mental cue to get focused. I also do a lot of visualising, i'll often delay a lift until I can see myself doing it. | ||

Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts | I find going nuts in the lifts that I am very, very comfortable with usually serves me well. I know with Squats, my form is where I want it to be. I can pysche up and i'll perform better. But with Benches, Presses and usually Deadlifts there's still too many form pointers to remember for me. I'll most likely worsen my performance if I psyche too much for those. | ||

MIA Member 7, 621 posts SQ 80, BP 45, DL 125250.0 kgs @ 55kgs UnEq | Getting angry, or concentrating hard, just seems to set me up for a fall. I'm at my best when I have no doubt in my mind i'll get the lift, and I just do everything I have trained to do. As soon as I start thinking about it, i tend to just get negative vibes. | ||
