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.
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.
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.
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.
