being mentally prepared for a lift??

[Exodus]

different strokes for differnet folks

my partner like me to yell, scream, and smack him around.

i like silence..... i pray to JESUS and ask for something like the Serenity prayer

"Lord, help me to give all i have, let me be smart enough not to injur myself, and remember i cant do this without you."

puts things into perspective for me.

if i can visualize the lift ....the I usually can get it

but if I dont have enough focus for me to see it happening....then i wont get it.....

K1401-
Lo there do I see my father
Lo there do I see my mother and my sisters and my brothers
Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning
Lo they do call to me and bid me take my place among them
In the halls of Valhalla where the brave may live forever.

though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear nothing, for I am the baddest motherfucker in the valley!

I saw that one ina recent issue of Powermag -- Leslie Look interview.

[b fold the truth]

I have good and bad days when I lift. Usually if I miss an attempt, it really fires me up to go at it again. Only problem is...if you miss an attempt in strongman...there is no 2nd or 3rd attempt.

I visualize someone like Kovaks hurting my girl and I can usually acheive whatever needs to be done.

I'm kind of meditation guy too. If you're at all familiar with yoga, there's something called child's pose. it's very relaxing. i just do that for like 5-10 minutes before i big lift and just try to focus and think of how i'm going to execute. Sometimes i throw on some tunes while i'm doing this. it also strectches your back, hip flexors, and glutes. Something worth considering. Cheers
