Motivation to lift heavy

When I am about to go heavy and balls to wall.. I always put on Shia Labeouf "Just do it" video.. Always work like a charm!! Does anyone do anything different to get you motivated for that 1RM or PR set?

 
Love that video. When I was bulking to the 242 weight class last year and struggling to get the food down my girlfriend would pull that up on her phone, set it next to me and walk away. We still quote it around the house sometimes, especially the "don't let your dreams be dreams" part. The full 20-30 minute video that clip is from is pretty wild if you get bored. He's just on a long, philosophical rant in front of a green screen the whole time.
 
Bro that's the beauty.. it takes a crazies to figure that out--you don't need any high-tech special effect.. just a simple green screen does the job.. Tony Robbins can't hold a candle to Shia!
 
I've never hyped myself up. I can just turn it on and off quietly in my head. When I was younger I used to go through training partners all the time. The only problem I have lately is gritting my teeth for some reason. Time for a mouthpiece!
 
Amazing!!! I already w/o but I'm beyond pumped!! Wanna start 2-a-days!!!
I typically spend about 30 seconds staring in the mirror before I head out the door to train...one of the perks of training in an old industrial complex at 0500 is you can blast music as loud as you like (or motivational youtube channels). I spend 15-20 mins stretching it out before I hit the showers and sometimes I need an extra 10 min just to zen out or else I walk out of that place and people are just not ready for me before their first cup of coffee...o_Oo_O

See me flippin open my fuel hatch while simultaneously sidekicking the pump lever at 8am...shit gets you beyond hype
 
I also listen to shit like this and throw chalk everywhere...smack myself around a bit and bite my lip till it bleeds. High test is a helluva drug...







all else fails...grow a beard and untrimmed mustache, cut yourself a warhawk.
