Poll: what do you guys think about during your reps??

[mdd]

just curious as to what some of you crazy mofo's think about to piss you off so you can squeeze that last rep in???

 

[jdismukes]

lifting the weight, feeling the muscle. If you have too many things going on in your head, you need to focus harder

I visualise myself on stage, towering over everyone, blowing them away or holding my trophy in the air.

as soon as i start my first exercise,i'm in another world!the world of "shut the fuck up and train"...during my reps and sets i'm blanked out and have one thing in mind:KICK SOME MOFO ASS...

 

[T-Biggs]

ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!

 

[Amp Lee]

I think "I wonder if I have another rep in me?"

Also I no longer train "past" failure. I save it for the next set and the next workout. I am getting better results just training on a regular schedule and not trying to gut out 2 reps past failure every damn set.

The next rep!

I focus on the muscle, feel every fiber working... I actually picture what the muscle itself looks like while it's contracting, and working... and I visualize it getting bigger.
If I can't do that, because I'm focused more on the weight itself... then the weight's too heavy.

Speak big bro you have the right idea ! Train to work the muscle don't just lift the damn weight!

I concentrate solely on moving the weight with perfect form for as many reps as possible and feeling the muscle work...Then (on certain movements) when the perfect form isn't possible, I concentrate on cheating just enough to get the weight moving while continuing to get a peak contraction without hurting myself.

If you can think about your girlfriend while you're doing all that, you need to go a little heavier.
