Huh. I wonder if I should put up a bunch of positive and encouraging signs and images in my home gym to exploit this effect.

Also, my lifting buddies and I often joke around with each other with certain phrases. Some of those, like yelling, "light weight" after a particularly tough set, seem to cut with the grain of this article. On the other hand, phrases like, "no pain no gain," or talking about "this heavy ass weight" (not that the weight I'm lifting is really that heavy) cut against. I wonder whether changing our terminology/"battle cries" would have a positive effect on the work we can accomplish.

Very interesting link. Thanks for posting, iKenshu.

This has to be the first time Ronnie Coleman has been referenced on HN. I approve of this.
