People who don't lift may not understand, but you really need to get locked in mentally, especially before you hit a PR. You really need to put all the bullshit in your life aside and get into that moment.
I don't always feel like getting pumped, like getting that adrenaline pumping through my veins. Sometimes I just don't have it in me.
That's when I can lean hard into music. There's so many tracks that I can just blast and really lean into. It helps my mood, and gets me in the right head space.
Congrats 🎉
You're the winner by the top filter. Great response.

I'm trying to hit 315 next year. We will see. I'm weak on DL, what was your PR?

The 200kgs (440lbs) eludes me still. 197.5kgs (435lbs) is so far the closest I've come to hitting it.
Is that 315 bench?? 143kgs, that's huge!! I've 1RM 107.5kgs (236lbs) but I can't seem to make 220 my working set yet, still we get after it and patience and discipline and the weight will come up.

That's amazing man, you're killing it! 👊 I've refocused my efforts towards body building so my strength training has taken a hit, I should be a lot further down the line in the bench than I am. But it doesn't matter how long it takes, patience and discipline and the numbers will come.
I hear ya about knees, I was so scared to squat for years after a rugby injury but I'm glad I started as squats and deadlifts are my most powerful lifts.
