    Clearing the Mind

    Has anyone got any tips on how to keep the mind focussed on the task at hand as you are doing your workout and not allowing distracting thoughts to creep in?

    Spotting: Mind over matter?

    I'm new here, but I had a quick search on the forums and a similar one on google to no avail. I am having a debate with my training buddy and he thinks that spotting takes a large amount of weight off the bar in bench press however I think it is only a kilo or two when I do it. I feel that...

    Mind games...

    For about a week now i've been really struggling with some of my lifts. Its really abnormal though like, struggling to bench 40-50kg when i'm used to doing at least 70kg, really struggling with squats and overheads as well. I'm not sure what it is, I thought it might just be something on my mind...

    What Exercises do you avoid. why?

    I avoid sldl because I can not simply do them, for me its dangerous to my lower back. I also avoid the hack squat machine as i get pain in my knees. Ive heard people avoiding upright rows, but i do them?

    A couple of cardio questions...

    For the people on this forum that know a lot more about cardio than I do, I have a few questions for you.... I posted a bit of this in my log, but not sure how many people read it, so thought I'd put it here as well. 1) I am thinking of doing about 20 minutes of HIIT cardio on the treadmill...

    What's on your mind...

    ... During working sets? I picture a 2.5kg weight. Because that's what is trying to beat me. I've already conquered the rest. Cheers, Aaron.
