The Quiet Mind
on March 18th, 2011 at 8:59 pmArnold Schwarzenegger is responsible for some memorable quotes. We all remember Pumping Iron when he said the getting a “pump” in the gym was just like cumming for him. He went on to say that he was cumming all over the place in the gym. That is only something Arnold would say. Another not so memorable quote from Arnold is when referred to the moment just before performing a limit set as the “maximal arousal mode”. This is the state at which the trainee performs the psyche and gets ready to exert maximal effort, sometimes going beyond their previous physical limit. It is said that a proper psyche can add as much as 10% to your maximal lift.
In order to enter the “maximal arousal mode” or the “zone” as it is most often referred, we must first start with a quite mind. To achieve this, we must learn to control our breathing and strip away any outside thoughts and eliminate all external distractions. Once we reach this state of zen, we then vividly visualize a successful lift. You will want to play the lift in your mind like a movie in as much detail as you can muster. If done properly, you mind will not be able to tell the difference between the imagined event and the actual event.
Jack Nicklaus made this kind of visualization popular among professional athletes. Jack would visualize ever shot in grand detail before he would physically make the shot. Today, this kind of visualization it common place among golfers. All of the top pro’s do some type of visualization before taking the shot.
There are two techniques that have a synergistic affect when used in conjunction with one another. They are Shikantaza meditation and the Auto-Visualization Ideo-Motor Checklist. This is not the place to go into the details of either but here in a nut shell is how they work. With Shikantaza meditation, we will learn to quite the mind in preparation for you mind movie. Once the mind is quiet, we perform the steps outlined in the Auto-Visualization Ideo-Motor Checklist. These technique would not be used for every lift, only those big sets or PR”s.
Both techniques are described in great detail in Marty Gallagher’s book, “The Purposeful Primitive” along with loads of additional information to benefit any serious strength and conditioning athlete.
However you plan to proceed, learning to control your mind and create the “right” thoughts will serve you well in and out of the gym.
Cheers,
Dennis
