Going to war with the bar
Going to war with the bar
It all starts when you are sitting down, watching the bar, weight loaded
Contemplating, taking big breathes in and long exhales out
During this insignificant moment, the process has begun
Visualising the lift leads to the heart rate elevating
Palms begin to sweat, nerves build
Walking over to the chalk bucket
Visualising, galvanising
Chalking the hand the same way you have always done reaffirms your process
Walking back to the bar and preparing your approach
Approaching with confidence is key
Grabbing the bar the same way,
Same hand, same spot, every time
Still concentrating on your breath
Control the breathe or you have lost the war before it has reached its peak
You pull yourself into position, creating pressure on yourself
Ready to explode
Ready to fight
Going to war with the bar
