ERIC KIM TESTOSTERONE

Something really interesting to me, the other day doing an epic atlas lift of nine plates, a 10, in a five pounder taped on top (885 pounds):

The hype and energy of both lift attempts is very different.

First lift attempt

When I look and observe my first attempt, it is pretty zen focused, and strives to get the job done. However, when I look at my second attempt, I have so much more hype, energy and testosterone in my veins.

Second lift attempt

Why this difference?

Perhaps the first attempt is just to get my juices flowing. And then once I fully have my juices flowing, and then the full energy I release is truly 100% unleashed power.

Second lift attempt full hype

Theories

So the question then is, some theories.

Perhaps the best gym, and the only gym to frequent is where you could really 100% lose yourself. That is, losing yourself before the lift during the lift and after the lift. Becoming totally consciousless.

Second lift — full hype:

Lift 1

Lift 2
