Default Getting mental enough for lifting...

Have any of you guys ever had the prolblem where its time to lift, you intake your post work out shake, then lift. But right then, when you're about to lift your weights, you feel wierd when lifting, and such. I was reading something, think it was from 0311, he said listen to some music, like and Ipod or something, and this should get you fit for it. Or was from a Chad Waterbury article I read.

But in a book I'm reading, he talks about philosiphy, with about how the Greeks were one in mind, and body. How your mind is with the body, the body is just not alone(MAX CONTRACTION TRAINING), so I was wanting to test something with a few of my friends who lift, have some listen to music, and some not. Most say listen to old Metallica, or White(Rob)-Zombie. Well, I wanna have some try Metallica, one with Led-Zeppelin, another with Van Morrison. Basicly Heavy-Moderate-Light. See those who listen heavy, if they do well on the basic work out, and do well on the intensity, and see if the moderate does well, then the light. Then the others the last week who lifted with no music, how well they do the next week and listen to music the week following after the week they listend to nothing. Will take me a while to get this set up.


But I've never read a full article or anything on lifting with doing on the mental side, I'm going to ask the others to fully follow a weekly diet, including a cheat meal, and doing some light cardio that week. But hey, if they don't wanna do it, was gonna try to do this by myself if I can't get help.
