Evil Reps

WHAT TO THINK WHEN REPPING OUT

Think of pushing reps as strikes.

You are trying to break out of a web you are trapped in.

You are pushing apart the very fabric of the universe.

You are pushing all the sin out of your body.

When pulling, you are opening huge doors in the underworld for angels to rush out of.

Concentrate on the cables and levers and pulleys you see on the machines.

They are part of you. You are directly attached to your tendons.

This is MUSCLE/MACHINE SYNTHESIS.

This is MUSCLE vs MACHINE.

You are part of each other. A fusion.

Anyway you want it....so let's av' it.

When doing seated cable row take your mind back in time to when your ancestors rowed for their lives at sea.

Every rep has a beginning, middle and end.

Each one is a journey.

Enjoy.

Stop and you die.

Evil dictators have guns to your head.

They whip you with each rep.

But if you stop it's a bullet.

Your life is worthless.

You are cheap and mean nothing.

You are a failure.

Show em' otherwise.

This, the gym, is it.

Shine under the stress.

Flourish as a beast WITHIN the reps.

Your muscles bellies pool with hate with aggression and anger so bomb the steel and give your ego a voice.

Think of inhumanity's shocking inhumanity to man.

Evil, evil, evil stuff.

Unmentionable stuff you don't, you can't even usually consider.

What makes you cry.

What makes you sad.

The shocking horrors of the human race.

Let them live....

Just for the rep.

Channel it, focus it, and use it for good.

MORE FROM THE RESIDENT SLAYER

I often hear the word 'boring' banded about when it comes to experienced gym iron-shifters languishing in a plateau. I'm not one of 'em. I disagreed with my current partner when he was rooting for an excuse to try something else, like boxing or martial arts. It's not quite 'in the blood' with him, as it is me. 'Boring' would be the very last word in the whole of the dictionary I would use to describe the local metal gym I attend, actually. The very last.

"But I gotta concede - reps can be repetitive."

I don't pump up while posing in a mirror, like a lot of jerks who hardly break a sweat. You know the drill, every gym has that nice n easy geezer who does single bicep dumbell curls, admiring his own reflection. He's the kind of guy who would make love to himself if he could. He may be well built, and the lazy pace is better than none at all, but he sure doesn't wanna tear the place up and go totally balls to the wall like me. I wanna go beserk every single workout, after an emotionally draining day at work. I build the fire all day and unleash it in the evening.

Reps are the threads you use to stitch your workout together. Every one matters. GET CREATIVE WITH THEM: VISUALISE & IMAGINE
