Lifting theatrics

[John Hanley]

I run through the cues and things to remember for the PR lifts - control descent, knees out, get into the hips, head down, feel the bounce, hips up...

I wouldn't do that either. Don't think for PRs.

I'm gonna crush your nuts with the Knipex Pliers Wrench

Namaste.

Oh, I don't do it during the lift; I stand there and run down the checklist and everything in my head goes quiet, then I start to get into position. Once the bar's off the hooks, nothing exists but me and the bar. Everything else falls away.

I train at a commercial gym, and this one guy there (great guy btw) always give me shit when setting up for the deadlift, because I slowly go through the 5 step process. He makes fun of me for having this whole "ritual" haha

Other than just giving you a hard time I hope he is aware that your "ritual" is used by the best lifters/athletes in the world.
