I might have been the first to have coined the term or concept of hypelifting. Basically the notion is this; before you attempt a new personal record of a very very heavy weight at the gym, get insanely loud, slap yourself in the face chest and thighs, and then attempt the lift.
Some visuals include the all blacks Maori haka dance before a battle, and the heroic spartan 300s before going to battle (watch the movie 300 by Zack Snyder on repeat), or Ronnie Coleman getting pumped up and saying “lightweight baby!†before attempting a heavy lift.
Or, imagine Goku going super Saiyan for the first time.
Get insanely loud
The first bias I discovered in modern day society is that one is not allowed to be loud or become loud. That especially when you go to the gym, you stick in those silly AirBuds into your ears, which I call ear condoms, and, the goal is to be as antisocial as possible, and as quiet as possible.
The reason why I think it is very important to get insanely loud before attempting a very very heavy lift is this; by hyping yourself up, you increase your blood flow, your testosterone, and other hormones which might help you gain a small advantage in successfully lifting a very very heavy thing.
For example, a six plate rack pull. For me, 99.9% of the joy of lifting weights is the thrill of attempting to lift something very very heavy that you have never attempted before, irregardless of whether you are successful or not. I in this way, all that matters is your courage, your audacity, your chutzpah and your balls.
