Anyone goes through superstitions/ritual, pre/intra workout?

No sex on workout days before workout. Yes after.

Are you kidding? Shit I have sex with my gf just so she isn't so bitchy

I use to think oh if I don't get 8hrs of sleep that's it my weight training will suffer.

I walk around with my dick out for 15 minutes pre-workout

I always have to drop a deuce before my workout...otherwise I'm all sluggish.

This is the 100% truth right here!

The only other preworkout ritual I have is listening to the same epic metal album I always listen to on the way to the gym.

Never ever use a 35 lb plate... Don't put the nickels or dimes on "backwards"...

 

[knuggy]

yeah I have to have all the plates facing the same direction (inwards)

You do know that its not a compliment when a girl says its "cute" right

What??? No one else just throws a cassette in - tightens up the fanny pack - ties the Otomix tight and pulls the tongue out so their baggy CrazeeWear fall behind - puts their hat on backwards and just gets after it anymore????

I always take a bath before I head to the gym. Dunno why. Makes me feel like I'm getting ready to throw down.

And recently I've started taking a single shot of whiskey before DL day. Besides feeling like a badass, which helps a lot, I recently read an article that suggest alcohol boosts performace on strength sports. The day I didn't do this I had a shitty as fuck training day and thought "it's because I didn't take the goddamn shot"

Also the powerlifter Karwoski talks about this as well.

actually...there is a guy at my gym who this is. minus the backwards hat. dude shows up in a suit and a rolling suitcase. throws on the fanny pack, the otomix, spandex shorts, a tanktop, and a baggy ass cut off sweatshirt on top of it. instead of the hat, he soaks his hair in the sink, and when i mean hair i am talking straight up billy ray cyrus achy breaky heart mullet. my dad says he's been dressing like that and doing the same workout since the 80's.

Don't know if you would call it superstitious or not, but I need my ipod. Cant workout unless I have it.. .

Back when I had generic mp3 players with batteries, if I got to the gym and the batteries died preworkout, I'd leave and go get more or just go home. lol

That's both weird and intriguing
