So you have to go because you have to let the mind know not to go and have fear of the 315. So what I usually did was when I was training for powerlifting was I was, let's say, my max was at a competition 515. And so I tried to do as many times as I can, 500. So I did 500 in the gym, then I waited a little bit, and then I did again one rep at 500. Same day?

Then I waited, yeah, you know, just kind of like... Like waiting around, yeah. Five minutes later, so schmoozing a little bit, and then, okay, then the guys were coming in and said, okay, let's do another one, let's do another one. And then we were just going, doing it again. And so he gets us mentally used to the 500. So in a way, you feel like this is all happening subconsciously.

It's not like consciously. Consciously, too. But I mean, the important thing is that you lie down eventually on the bench and you say, I have that nailed. Yeah. Yeah. Because as soon as you say, let me try. It's not quite cutting it to try. I mean, trying is good, but I mean, you got to do it. Because then you feel the fear if you're not ready for it.

The fear factor, that's why I say psychologically, the important thing is to just do it, you know, just for your head, to do it as many times as possible. So you go, we went once or twice a week, we went to the ultimate weight, and then we just stayed on that, whatever that weight is that day, and then just stay on and do the heavy weight, the heavy weight, the heavy weight, just one rep.

And when we normally train, you go up to three reps. So you go, let's say, in your case, you did three for 285. So you do then three reps and keep doing three reps and keep doing three reps. Then eventually the next week you go to just for one rep. So that's what you do. It's just kind of the mind game because our mind is really the thing that holds us back.

Yeah. Well, it's fascinating, but I try to work on it all the time because I figured it out on my own. I said, look, this is like really weird because I was doing weightlifting competitions all the time as a kid because I joined a weightlifting club in Graz. So there was no bodybuilding club. So we had to weightlift.
