It's up there with fucking and cold beer on hot days.
Keep lifting to build your confidence, see a coach intermittently to check form.I guess what I'm asking is how do you more experienced guys handle the mental side of lifting?
Do you tackle every set as if you own it? No. At PTC I smash out every rep and own it, unfortunately at home I dont get the same vibe and tend to struggle more. But then the right music choice also has a positive effect
Does confidence come from volume?
I believe confidence comes with experience, and knowing you are true to form on each lift
I've never experienced this before and as I'm training to compete in some novice comps I'd hate to be standing under the bar on my last lift only to be mentally fucking the lift up.[/b]If you bet past the first lift in a comp, you're locked in. Biggest mental fcuk in competing is missing a first lift. [/B]
I've only seen a few comps and it's amazing as a spectator that I could tell from some lifters body language if they would make the lift or not. I guess I'm after some feedback/advice on the link between the lifters brain and the performance.
You feel fucking invincible on those good days. Somtimes everything just falls into line, you eat shitloads, you slept well, your in the right frame of mind and you just throw the weights around. I wish everyday was like this
I live for those days it's one of those few pleasures in life I truly enjoy, totally primal. It's up there with fucking and cold beer on hot days.
The days when your fighting every rep, your niggling injuries are playing up, it just feels like plain old hard fucking work. Yeah they suck but with time I've learned consistency is the key and plodding through those shit workouts are a big part of the whole process.
On those days I liken it to work, yeah I don't want to be there but I still need to reap the benefits of all my effort so you gotta slog on through.
