I dont know about you guys, but squat is my favorite lift just because its you and the bar, and most of the time the spotter/spotters are never gonna be a factor throughout the lift, and its just sit down stand up, i feel like its one of the only lifts i get to use every single part of my body to complete, a true test of your body.

And i have built on my pre squat rituals, first thing i do is blow my nose, idk why, then i always have a stickie note with me that says "get some" on it which i place high up on the wall in front of me for something to keep my eyes on, then i put some messed up super heavy metal which i completely immerse myself into on, it helps me block everyone and everything else out...then i crouch down under the bar with my hands on the bar and pull down and try to rip the bar apart to engage my back..the next part i usually get made fun of for but i literally talk shit to the bar under my breath and transform the bar in my mind to something i hate with all my passion (usually my ex), then i sqaut it,...i usually dont have a voice after i squat from yelling and theres almost always blood running form my nose........Damn im getting hard right now haha i love it so much

So im interested to know if anyone else shares this same mentality and what everyone different preparation methods are?
