Failed at 450

[Gigantasor]

Saturday I failed on my fourth set fifth rep at 450lbs durring my squat. I think I know why but my head is all messed up now. I'm not used to failing especially at that low weight.

Mostly I'm concerned about the mental aspect. I should have been able to power through that easy but now that I failed I see it as a huge challenge. Anyone ever experence this?

Come this saturday I have a personal vendeta with the rack. I find myself getting more and more riled up about it each day. It is really pissing me off!!!

Sometimes I get owned by a relatively light weight, by my standards, and usually it is because I am either overtrained or not focused.

Usually I take a day or two off, eat a lot and sleep even more.

Carry this momentum to your next workout and harness the anger. Control it and do not let it control you.

If you do that I know you will make your lift.

It kills me that I should have made it then. I think you guys are right though. It may be an issue of overtraining and as a result I now have a lot of driving anger for the next one. I guess some things can work to your advantage.

I refer to that as just having a bad day in the gym. It could be something as simple as failing to get a good night sleep the night before, or having alot on your mind.

relx and focus on how you failed, was it at the bttom? did yopu rock forward? hips rotate, find the problem and fix itr but make sure to rest alot

We all can`t be 100%, 100% of the time......one step back.............two steps forward

take that fire into your next workout. sleep about it even and imagine blastin that shit out of the bottom. visualization is the best for overcoming shit like this and use it!!! you'll hit that shit. tb
