1. Visualization:
I think it's important to focus on your session regarding what you are going to be doing and how you will attain your goals for the respective workout. This doesnt have to be some long YOGA position while chanting. Simply review what you will be doing and what it will be like. Even thinking of how much a widowmaker will hurt but you are determined not to stop or give up until your reps are achieved.
2. Logging:
Yeah its best to have your sessions made out before you visulaize anything. Review what you will be doing. You can't go into a session with no concept of your goals for the day.
3. Focus:
Whatever helps you keep everything out of the mind to attain your success will help. I find just music that keeps others voices out along with keeping unwanted conversation to disruot your training.
4. Pavlovian Tip:
I personally use a response that is more or less GO TIME for my training. I have trained my mind to know what when I lightly tap my left foot then I now am a savage freak that is going to rule my workset. I don't scream and yell nor slap myself...just a light tap of the foot and I am focused and enraged to rip my goals away from the iron.
5. Evaluate:
It's always nice to take a moment to grade yourself and makes some notes about your training for the day. What worked? What didn't. How did you feel going into the session as opposed to after? Any factors that kept you from being successful?
Hopefully you can use some of these ideas like I have.
