BiPolar HIGH and pushing big weights (my 630 pound legpress)

if you are into weightlifting and believe that the more weight you push, the more you will grow, then you will like this...

For me it's just for the big exercise like legpress or benchpress, but it could be for the entire workout.

I use caffeine as a stimulant to stimulate or "aggravate my BP condition". You might have a video or song or blog post that does it for you too (I wish i woulda copied that one where I replied and it caused 30 members to leave BigLife overnight! something about Prez Bush giving a business award to someone running a "paid to surf" crap bizopp)

Ideally have someone with you cuz u may pass out, also you might do an emotional breakdown or like me sometimes, go "evangelistic" on someone... that's fun.

ok... so do 3 sets to get you to your big one... not more cuz you want lots of energy

your big set must be "too much". ...more than before. ...technically impossible based on the past... otherwise there is no BP motivation. you want to accomplish the 'impossible' right?

you only need to do 1 rep, although depending on what it is, maybe up to 8.

For me it's the Apex Legpress machine that loads with pies, not the stacked plates... so 7 a side x 45.

Now imagine me, a 150 pound, 5'11" (skinny guy)...

As I'm stacking them, people assume I'm loading the machine for my partner!

seriously I've had people try to stop me saying I will break my legs or wreck my knees.

so then... get on it, seat angled right, neoprene knee braces, back flat against it, don't scrunch forward or you will bruise your ribs (and it takes a month to heal), don't let your knees come together.

take it off the rack, and then let it come down only about 6 inches and push it back up. do this twice, this is your time to get your breathing and psych yourself up.

now for the weird part... the visualization. what are you really doing when this weight comes down and you have to push it off? Mine is along the lines of a tree is coming down and my kid is under it about to be crushed!

I get that visualization, and then immediately, I let the weight come all the way down... a bit quicker than you normally would. Part of me is unprepared because I just threw my visualization at myself after the 2 partial reps... so when I get to the push point, I'm really not thinking of breathing or anything... I am simply reacting, pushing a tree off my kid who is about to be crushed.

THIS IS THE ONLY TIME I EVER FEEL THIS WAY... other times when I do a heavy weight, I go through a series of self talk blabber like
--ugh, don't think i can do this
--gee this is heavy
--half way, maybe can rest a microsecond here
--if i get this up this is definitely the last one

but when my mind is living the visualization, there is only ACTION.
