Ok, so I thought I'd share a trick that works for me, and I'd like to see what others are doing. In addition to good high energy music and slapping/hitting myself hard to get that extra weight lifted, I thought I'd share my most successful/useful trick - coffee.. just drink coffee before one scoop, I'm about 200lbs, empty the grinds into a good protein shake with a scoop of creatine with added sugar mix it up, pour it into a bottle with most of the grinds left out, you can drink em all if you want.
Down your coffee a half our to hour before, I don't regularly drink coffee anymore only before I work out usually or for papers/exams when I am taking courses. then down the 500ml bottle of hot stuff 5 minutes before you finish your warmup.
Here is it in video form
What are your tip and tricks to get that extra weight or mile in ?
(Ok, not much over 200 except the butterfly press and shoulder press and extensions, and leg press ... the free weights deadlift and squats were under 200, as were bicep curls and others. So a good scoop of fine grind will keep you feeling it. I work out every second or third or fourth day depending on recovery, I worked out the day before yesterday then today, I felt - on par going in but I had a really good day in at least part or a birdie. I feel like I worked myself a bit and should get slight gains today. Not sure if I'll be good for the 5th or not.)
