What's on your mind...

This is going to sound really gay but for some odd reason I feel like giving a serious answer.

Usually I run myself through the lift cues and listen to music.

If something has shitted me off that day I'll think about that. Hating on ex girlfriends goes down quite well.

But when I'm just feeling down or I know I'm close to my limits I have this image of myself in my head as someone a lot stronger than I am now and I do my best to get there. This tends to be how I approach assessments, eating right and a lot of other things in my life.
 
Well initially before I read into the thread and judged on the title I would of said; "The one of few females that works in the office at my work - the things id'e do to her!!!"

But yes during my sets;

1. I picture a better version of me and ask myself how much I want this better version

2. And also the quite few times I have gotten smashed by a couple of fuckwits, so I think of the re-occurence of that day of when it is going to happen again (if it ever does) and the thought of dropping them clean...

I for some fucked up reason am a big fucking rester during my sets (4-5mins) I need to figure out how to cut this shit down (or I could get a few tips off Gareer lol)... I feel too much lactic acid and fatigue so I have a shit load of weird shit I think off in 5 mins per set lol

Anyway basically anything where I'm under the weight it's 'that's gonna hurt if I fail'. Otherwise I just try and avoid passing out by breathing

I was taking about 8 minutes between sets at the end of Starting Strength. I'm around 5-6 mins now doing 5x5.
