i try hard to prove them wrong

>>39120633
a-am I autistic?

>"if you dont make this rep you will die"
>"if you dont make this rep you will drown"
(I've started to swim too and the fear of drowning is still pretty f*ckin real)
>"if you dont make this rep you will fall off the boulder"
(going to get into rock climbing soon too)
>"if you don't make this rep, she doesnt love you, and she will never be with you"

the girl i really liked said she has a boyfriend...

I'll put on "can't be touched" by Roy Jones Jr. and think about this video, specifically the part where's he's CLOWNING the dude with the dreads.

I was trying my deadlift ORM the other day and I was visualising a gas turbine spooling up.

I realise this is as autistic as fuck, but it works.

>>39120633
I visualize my ex her mullato bestfriend I think she left me for

If she takes his dick anyway near like she used to take mine, there's enough hatred in me to push till I tear both labrums

[spoiler] joke's on them I gave that bitch chlamydia

I visualize being a pirate. Usually lifting a heavy keg of powder or swinging a sword or doing some other task while I sail away for fortune

>>39121007
No, done properly you can scared your way into success. But you have to do it right. Too scared = fail. Too cocky = fail.

I notch it up a little more and go with the "make this rep and you get to fuck the grandma doing cardio in front of you etc"

I visualise every fibre of my muscle being torn and ripped when i do a rep. I try my hardest to get that mind muscle connection going on and try to get blood pumping through the muscle

>>39121179
Nice, gotta reach that fantasy in your head to build a fantastical body.

This would make me feel sick desu. But going into the gym with my goal to wear down my muscles has helped simplify my approach

When lifting I typically don't visualise anything, to be honest. Maybe some meme positive thinking bullshit but that's it.

Running is entirely different however:

>Hit 12 miles, feeling tired
>Metal Gear Rising Soundtrack comes on headphones
>Fuck yeah, I'm a cyborg-ninja fighting various bad shit
>No longer feel pain or exhaustion because CYBORG
>surge of adrenaline gives me a speed boost

I realise how cringe this is while doing it and hope no- one realises just how autistic this is. Helped me get a new PB a couple of weeks back so there is that I suppose

>>39120633
Either some really extensively choreographed fight between characters in a story of mine, me looking buff as hell on stage with fangirls reaching for me, or somehow unlocking superhuman potential and just helping random people with casual things that need super strength

I visualize choking my ex, end of evangelion style.

Kek I can really relate. Have been deep in thought listening to music before only to hear a repeated beeping. On looking sideways some guy has been driving alongside me honking his horn. Take headphones out and he's asking for directions, wtf. I was completely unaware, mfw

I picture hoards of sand niggers and mudslimes barreling down upon the glory and beauty of Western Civilization. I picture myself one day becoming a shining example of what it is to be a Man of the West. To say "no" to degeneracy and weakness, to fight against the rulers of the world that demand we bleed dry the corpse of the West in the name of altruism, multiculturalism, globalism, and tolerance. I want a family that grows in a primarily white, homogenous, and peaceful country, and I want to be able to crush the skulls of the savages at the door underneath my boot.

I lift for my country. I lift for my future family (I got a gf)I lift for the West.

Visualize different anime and how I would be stronger if I was in them. Kind of like "I need to be stronger so I can survive/prosper in X"

Right now I'm on NGE, so the bar is pretty low, so I just imagine #1 girl

i dont think of anything i just lift
its the only time of the day when i dont feel the urge to kill myself

When squatting, I imagine there is a rocket strapped to my ass. Sometimes I imagine wamuu from jojo part 2 is watching me.

>>39123803
>rocket-assisted hip drive
>making it

Pick one

The death of thousands of dune coons

I visualize being a soldier in the cold of Stalingrad trying to reach my objective without being killed.

"If I finish this set, she'll come back"
"If I reach 5k while breaking my old record, she'll come back"
"If I can add 5kg more, she'll come back"
That's it brehs, I'm now at 120kg 5x5 flat bench, 70kg 3x8 OHP while @ 5'10 74kg.

Me finishing my lift.

Why the fuck is everyone here autistic?

>>39123799
This desu

But I am also extremely self aware and self-conscious, even in the gym. I think I have a mental illness.

>>39121199
>I notch it up a little more and go with the "make this rep and you get to fuck the grandma doing cardio in front of you etc"

Wanting to fuck a grandma, ever. I'd drop the weight in an instant.

>>39120633
I visualize shit that helps me stay in form.

Like when I bench, I like to imagine both my arms snapping because I let my elbows flare. The fear of the snap is an incredibly effective motivator.

I imagine myself In a stadium or colliseum and everyone around me is cheering my name.

I'm a warrior and my family is being threatened with their lives unless I get the lift up to all the reps.

I imagine the tears streaming down my mothers face as she begs me not to give up.

If the death of your own mother doesn't motivate you, you are broken.

all the people who've angered me recently

think of myself breaking their bones, get the adrenaline flowing and it's like your eyes open wider and you just want to beast it

I visualize the times people degraded me for being a bit fat, or the times when I didn't feel good enough for people. I remind myself of the times where girlfriends would cheat and leave because I wasn't what they wanted in a man. I visualize how badly I wanted to be different from that person and remind myself just how motivated I was in those very moments. Feels bad, but gives me goals.

Bodybuilders have a certain term they use but I cant remember or find it

I think about that scene in 300 when the first wave of Persians attack and Leonidas yells "PUSH" and they all charge forward and push the Persians off the cliff.

>on my last rep

>hear gerard butler scream "PUSH" in my head
>let out a grunt and smash the last rep

I think of all the idiots who think me exercising 5 times a week is being excessive, and think of how useless they'll be compared to me if I keep this up for the rest of my life. I think of the wasted potential I could be facing if I didn't do what I do.

Depends on how I'm feeling.

Most often I just think about the lift and it's really easy for me to focus directly on that.

Sometimes I'm pissed and I like to think about attacking people near me in the gym, especially if they annoy me.

Or if there's some sexy bitch around, I think about dat ass in yoga pants.

I just focus on form and feel the muscles in use contract and pull. Pay attention to my breathing, and imagine moving the weight is my current and only job.

>>39121142
>bestfriend
Why.
Why one word.

I usually visualize myself as being in whatever video game or series I've been into lately. It works great for motivation and it's fun.

Nearing failure, helium balloons attached to the weight. It's lifting itself, just let it happen. Incredibly, this kind of works for me to help finish that last one or two.

Honestly, I'm thinking of hardworking motherfuckers in various pieces of media. The guys who have nothing but their own will to drive them to do shit, not really talent or gifts (or at least not talent that's not greatly outclassed by others).

I unironically chant grow, grow, grow in a low murmur before benchpresses. Only sometimes.

When I'm weedwhacking at work, I like to pretend that the weedwhacker is a minigun and I'm Arnold from T2 shooting up cops from the second story window of Cyberdyne.
