Should I mentally rehearse the exercise before I start it? How can that help?
Greg TorngaYes, this will help you set your intention on the exercise, yielding the most results. To get even more out of every set, visualize yourself going through the exercise to your fullest exertion and then, just when you can see yourself going any further, see and feel you yourself going past that point, really feel it in your nervous system.
Imagine yourself pushing or pulling out 3 or 4 more reps. Now when you step up to do your set, I can assure you you will blow your own mind by moving past your limiting beliefs, it’s all between your ears my friends!
