I need to bring Kevin Garnett’s attitude with me to the weight room.
Aaaaah! This dude gets me so fucking amped. He is so HARDCORE. KG is what? 60 years old? Still hard as hell. During the course of his NBA career he went straight from intense and passionate to senile, and nobody even noticed.
I get butterflies listening to him talk:
“My job is to stop you. So I don’t anticipate you liking me, I don’t anticipate you trying to be my friend… cause I’m not trying to be your friend.”
I want to take that same mentality to my heavy sets. Stand over the bench, stare down the barbell and say to it, “my job is to lift you. So I don’t anticipate you liking me, I don’t anticipate you trying to be my friend… cause I’m not trying to be your friend, barbell” How fucking badass would I look if I did that? That has to add 10-15lbs to your bench instantly. Right? How can it not? It is so intense.
The fear - and respect - other players have for KG… I wish I could command that kind of aura about myself all the time. I LOVE IT.
