I can hear the dude shouting through the text. Love it.
Lmao same, perfectly described
Legit though, when you’re moving metal in big numbers, there’s some head game involved. You gotta stay in the zone, whatever that zone is for you. Some folks need to focus and stay zen. Others need to stay hyped. Staying hyped is way easier, and a bit of verbal excitement, like a kiai, can enhance your mental state, and make the next lift smoother, better.
Can’t go too crazy, unless the gym you’re in is okay with crazy (which can be fun unless you need zen lol). But a little ooooo baby! can be right in the sweet spot.
During basic military training, doing push ups the instructors would yell out “ONE” and we all would answer “AAAND”-“TWO” and so on, and I swear it helped getting through them. Generally doing sport in a group helped me push further.
We scream “LIGHT WEIGHT BABY!”
