How Do You Pump Yourself Up?

For anything that requires you to be pumped up(working out, fighting, going out to party, giving a speech). The reason I asked is because a friend of mine slapped himself a few times before approaching a girl yesterday and I found it a little weird. I usually have someone slap me before I max out lifting weights. approaching a chick I just say to myself, i don't give a shit. Public speaking I clinch my ass cheeks and take a deep breath.

 

...LoOL That is a littel strange if you ask me too.

 

He was extremely nervous so I guess he needed it. It was funny because it looked like he was getting ready for a huge fight.

 

OMG, dude just knocked out that chick

 

I am Nike all the way.

I "just do it".

My head is usually far off thinking about other things like nature and things I watched on TV last night before I have to do anything important.

 

For going out to party, giving a speech, or hitting on girls I get stoned. Smoking weed gives me that extra clarity I need.

I never smoke weed before working out. That is done to relax after I have had an intense workout.

BTW: I have noticed in most people smoking weed does the exact opposite for most people. They become lazy and not very sharp.

For some reason weed supercharges my thinking and gives me motivation.

 

It helps me as well but, it was a gradual change. Before I'd be the lazy dull knife in the drawer person but now it's completely changed.

 

i just listen to music i like

 

Something hardcore or just anything you like in general?

 

working out, i just start doing it and will become pumped up in the process. any of the other things listed i don't really get pumped up for at all.

well fighting maybe; i haven't really done it in years. but generally whatever circumstances lead up to the fight would get me pumped up by default.

 

i jerk off whist grasping a magic eight ball in the other hand...randomly asking questions...it works about 50% of the time

 

at the gym before a heavy lift, i walk around visualizing the lift, then walk up to the bar and take a deep breath, grab the bar, get in position, scream in my head, and then i just lift.

i listen to the beginning of Hells Bells before any gym session, any competitive match for sports.

i psyche myself up in my head. having other people pumped up around me is great, but its not something i count on having

going to a party - i take a couple shots of gin

i don't talk to girls...they scare me

haha

 

i could never stand other pumped up people. i'd be there lifting, minding my own business, and some annoying fat kid (it was always the fat kids for some reason) would suddenly start screaming and slapping himself and such. always made me lose my concentration and motivation because people acting like stupid assholes has always just upset me.

although i always listened to hell's bells too, because this one live ac/dc cd managed to stay in the weight room radio for at least the 4 years i was there (except when it came to games with us)

 

usually prodigy or pendulum or queens of the stoneage will do it for me

 

i was more talking about my teammates there pumped up, helping you get psyched up for a big lift

i love the gym i am at now - wish i had training partners though - but the barbells and plates are old and rusty. its beautiful. that pumps me up too

 

I tend to break things, punch walls, throw things, and cuss up a storm-

Behavior along those lines.

 

I've never really thought about it, when I first started driving I just told myself I could do it... like the little train. Heh.

 

i pick my nose ferociously

 

I don't allow myself to have self doubt. I just blank it out of my mind. If I'm really nervous about something I will take deep breaths, but that's about it.

 

Interesting, babe.
