What gets you fired up for 1rm pb attempts?

Is it a song? A ritual? Motivation from somewhere else? Nothing?

 

[spartacus]

fear of failure of not getting something i had long aimed to get. Dont need music, smeling salts, someone abusing me, the need to yell, or even atmosphere.

 

[dez]

I just get into the zone. I don't really think about anything

 

[RedDog]

Knowing that feeling I will get when I make it drives me

 

[jj80]

I used to try to fire up, now I just focus on technique and power, and not letting any 'fear' get in the way of barspeed if that makes sense.

 

[0ni]

Cheque drops

 

[Jungnaut]

going over the things that pissed me off during the week.

 

[Grippy]

I just get into the zone knowing I can do it, usually crank up the metal and just have a crack.
I usually know now when I will be able to nail it and when that session comes and it feels right I go for it.

Ammonia <3

 

[vonfram88]

Pain and terror. It's going to hurt so get it over and done with swiftly.

 

[Brick]

Masturbating in the mirror.








Seriously though if I'm having a great session I tend to just keep going after my heavy sets.

 

[bull]

I'd do it in training the week before just to make sure I can.

 

[Andreww]

Thinking about Oni giving advice on the forums.

 

[D1cko]

Knowing that it's what you've trained for the previous weeks/months...and that failure is not an option.
Oh...and Heavy Metal helps too

 

[beez]

It's simple. We kill the batman .

 

[kaz]

Just mentally get into the zone, think I f something that makes me angry, slap/pinch thighs, lift.

 

[KungFooGoo]

Hahaha... Dont know why l found this so funny....

Seriously though l dont do anything different for a pb attempt that l dont do for a normal one.... If you dont go full pyscho for every lift, hitting things, screaming etc then why do it for a max lift? Think its the whole play how you practice kind of thing...

 

[callan]

whos adreww? give that man a medal.






the dread. the fear.
the pain you pushed through in training.
the time you put in.

the set up rituals.

spirit.

there is no greater satisfaction than screaming at the bar, then fucking its shit up.



you dont go nyuts in training all the time because you dont max out all the time.
i get fired up for my 5s leading up to a comp

the psych up makes the bar feel like nothing, another great feeling is unracking your third squat and it feeling like a feather - psych up

 

[DREADLIFT]

1rm's dont need much at all...

...rep PB's on the other hand.
