Change the way you count your reps and you'll breeze through your sets

You may have already discovered this simple trick, but if you haven't, you can start using it now to breeze through your training sessions. We have a habit of counting "up" as we do our reps, or anything that requires us to count for that matter. Ex. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 Now, theres nothing wrong with this way, and in fact, your daily life would be seriously impacted, towards the negative, if you didn't count the way that 99.99 percent of the population counts. Now, if you know a little about hypnosis and how it works, you'll notice that hypnotists use a "countdown" method to help induce the requisite relaxation for communication with their client/patient at the deeper levels of mind, which looks like this: 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 Now... While the two method may appear to be the same thing, they are NOT. And they both have different affects on your nervous system and mind state, believe it or not. You'll notice the difference as you use the 2 different methods as you train. Traditional counting forward/up method tends to make you feel like your going "uphill". The "countdown" method causes you to feel a sense of relaxation and creates in you the sense that you're going "downhill" Now... When you stop and think about it.... it's much easier to roll a boulder down a hill than it is to roll one up a hill, don't you think? If you been training in anything at all for any length of time, then you know how powerfully your state of mind will affect your performance. Now.... taking into consideration what we just talked about, doesn't it make perfect sense to you that when you start to use the Countdown method as you train, then you'll have an easier time with your training, especially if you are counting reps. Don't you find it totally fascinating that a simple change in the way you do things can make a dramatic impact on your performance? I do!!! Sincerely, Amir
