  Legit though, when you’re moving metal in big numbers, there’s some head game involved. You gotta stay in the zone, whatever that zone is for you. Some folks need to focus and stay zen. Others need to stay hyped. Staying hyped is way easier, and a bit of verbal excitement, like a kiai, can enhance your mental state, and make the next lift smoother, better.

  Can’t go too crazy, unless the gym you’re in is okay with crazy (which can be fun unless you need zen lol). But a little ooooo baby! can be right in the sweet spot.

    Hey science actually backs you up. I’m gonna go with the most basic and awesomest source; Mythbusters did a myth that proved swearing increases your pain tolerance. (Also the busted myth, if anything, seems to prove the opposite. Hey redheads did you know you’re also more likely to have higher tolerance to anesthesia?)

    During basic military training, doing push ups the instructors would yell out “ONE” and we all would answer “AAAND”-“TWO” and so on, and I swear it helped getting through them. Generally doing sport in a group helped me push further.

      I find the militaries obsession with push ups kind of baffling. It’s a fine exercise, but you quickly run into diminishing returns just doing loads of push ups. There’s no progressive overload, so eventually doing more just becomes fatiguing rather than productive for muscle growth or strength gain. They must know that at this point, so why would they still make people do so many push ups?

    Music for me.

    When I’m kinda shaking after just finishing a set I let that shaking drive the finger drumming and ride the shake into a little dance. Keeps the adrenaline flowing and I channel it back into my hands it feels like.

    Like a little electric spark I rechannel back into my hands
