What goes through your mind when you're working out?

>>41351542
I like picking up heavy stuff, and I want to be able to pick up even heavier stuff.

I used to fuel my workouts with pure sexual frustration and hatred. For example I took half of my OHP resting time to mentally focus all my adrenaline and rage into the upcoming lift. Made me progress on OHP from like 45 to 57,5kg in 3 weeks. Nevertheless I must admit that I couldn't perform any sets without that hatred.

Nowadays I just lift, nothing passes my mind and I just do my routine while listening to my music. I assume I don't have to mention that my progress is horrible now.

My sole desire to grow big and beefy tends to be enough motivation. Feeling and seeing my progress also helps.

This. Although lately my brain has been fucking with me and at the start of the rep I immediately think "why bother doing this shit?" And it sucks all my energy away

After I start I don't really think about much. I just count. So, wanting the number to be the right number maybe?

>>41351542
The only thing that goes through my mind is a sense of superiority as I outlift everyone with perfect form and athletic prowess.
Everyone is pathetic in my gym, fuckin normies.

>>41351542
My motivation is fear driven. I want to be ready If a civil war, terrorist attack, or invasion happens.

>>41351542
to defend myself against groups of tyrone / muhammed

My head is empty when I lift. I think about bracing and breathing, but there are no thoughts. Before a really heavy set or PR I sit on a bench or pace around the gym with a thousand yard stare with nothing going on in my head.
It's kinda therapeutic, because it's the only time except for when sleeping my brain shuts the hell up.

Insecurity until I complete my first set of work squats. Then I don't give a fuck, even though I don't lift much more weight. If someone in the room is lifting more than me, I try to use it as inspiration to be better. I smile at people I incidentally make eye contact with, but for the most part keep to myself.

I try and rack all the weights I use to keep a feeling of goodwill, and I genuinely believe walking around the gym putting shit I use back is good exercise in itself.

The gym should be a positive place. You're with people looking to improve themselves. Much better there than some shithole politics debate.

>>41351542
go hard or go home
i do everything to keep myself from thinking i could do heavier and the next time it will be the heavier i can and it go on and on.

Some days I'm just chilling and nothing really is on my mind apart from the usual stuff that is going on in my life, I'm listening to chill music just doing my routine.

Other days I need loud music and just want to go crazy and rip that fucking bar off the floor even if it kills me. I wanna progress so bad that I dont even feel the pain anymore and if I miss a lift I feel like punching a hole in the wall.

But usually I am somewhere in between with a healthy focus, not really any big distractions just focused on what I have to do with nothing much on my mind apart from the next set I gotta do and maybe focusing on the music and pumping myself up a bit beforehand.

Recently I tried the George Leeman way of imagining you can bring back a beloved family member you lost if you just can get X reps on the Deadlift but I found that this sort of thinking can only lead to injury. He is right if you could get back a beloved family member or your lost love you could pull that shit even if it's slightly too heavy but honestly you are risking injury and if you do fail you feel like rolling on the gym floor and screaming in agony.

>>41351542

Gym is the only thing keeping me from offing myself. It's where I can feel happy. I usually talk to noone, just go through the motions, but it feels good. Then back to reality.

>>41360683
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwMxH7a892A

It does work well as a motivation if you truly get it in your head but honestly I dont think it's worth going to such a dark place every time you do a heavy set I cant see myself ever being happy if I have to go through this shit multiple times a week.

>>41353935
>being fit in no way means you're a good soldier

Holy shit you're retarded. What part of "you need to be fit to be a good soldier but being fit doesn't make you a good soldier" don't you understand? How can the fairly clear nuance of that statement go over your head?

>>i hope i get hit by car on the way home
That hit too close to home anon. Some days I don't look sideways and cross the road in hope that some high speed truck hits me. I hold my breath and close my eyes as I reach the middle of the road and walk to the other side and release it.

>>41360299

only real way, lifting is meditation.

>>41351542
I don't really have time to think since I'm always counting reps, checking if I counted right, checking form etc.
How people manage to think or get bored while working out, I don't understand.
