/fit/, how do you focus during your lifts? What do you think

1. The rep number
2. The muscle

There's no room for feels when you focus

Listen to music with a ryhthmic beat

I constantly think about and make sure my form is 100%
then I invision Mark Rippetoe telling me my form is shit
then I invision /fit/ doing the same then telling me to kill myself

Well, I'm the kind of guy whose brain never shuts up (tested 135IQ, gifted, yay....).

During a lift is the only time where my mind goes completely blank, it's just me and feeling my muscles work against the strain.
So you could say I keep my thoughts on lifting by thinking about how my muscles feel I guess.

cringe lmfao

try cold immersion
it can bring you to a point where you can't focus on anything but the cold and your mind goes blank

Sometimes real life is cringy, brah.
English is not my first language so I had no better way of decribing it.

Maybe contributing to the thread was outside of your abilities so you had to retort to an ad hominem?

i listen to a rap playlist.

i imagine im some thug doing time in jail trying to get buff by the time he gets released so he can go murder some other niggers.

im in mensa too. you are not a special snowflake.
your brain dosent shut up because you have zero mental discipline. square up

he meant your shit was cringy not because of the language, but because of the content.

I know and try to, but my minde just fucks off to random thoughts about studies, qties, society, nihilism, ...

I can't focus on the muscles or the rep number, they lumber somewhere in the back of my head butso many thoughts just crawl and smother my brain during lifting, it's killing me

>>39371517
Cringed

>IQ
Maybe someone should tell you how fucking pointless IQ tests are

>>39371556
never said I was special, OP just asked "how do you do it" and I responded

Appreciate your helpful content inspite your unfreindly language though, will have a look into that

ofc it's useless, not even an intelligence profile has a lot of merits. Yet it's somewhat of a guideline and it was information "vital" to my whole case, and I thought giving a number seems less arrogant than "blabla I'm so fucking smart look at me".


Love /fit/s attitude of "whatever makes you become a better person" yet when someone gives input and wants others to give their 2 cents to your situation everyone is like "lol cringe, square up, nospeculsnewflakes" as if I didn't know that shit to some extent already

Maybe a genius like you can work out there are different viewpoints from different people on /fit/

My numbers aren't very high, but I still have to psyche myself up like getting angry. Sort of like Benni Magnusson does. If I don't I can barely unrack the bar
