Perfect practice.
Build positive neurological patterns by practicing perfect form at all times.
You have to be able to put yourself in the perfect position to make the weight.
In the squat for instance; this includes walking up to the bar, positioning yourself underneath it,
placing your hands exactly where they need to be, squeezing yourself under the bar,
and feeling tension in the right bodyparts in order to have everything perfect.
All of these things must become automatic - and you have not even taken the bar off the rack yet.
At this point, you walk out of the rack, taking the same number of short steps that you always do,
you breathe the same way and when you set up you KNOW the lift is going to be successful.
You know this because the lifting process is exactly as you have done it countless times before in practice and visualization.
You have programmed yourself for success.
This same process is applied to all of your lifts.
