[Serious Athletes]( ?utm_source=tnation&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=weekly_dose-20-07-26 ) FEATURE ARTICLE [Deadlift: Get Your Mind Right]( ) by Charles Staley [ Deadlift: Get Your Mind Right ]( ) Compared to most other lifts, the deadlift requires a unique mindset that you're likely not born with. You'll need to acquire it in the gym. When you squat, even if you're in a rack with the safeties in place, motivation is ensured by the implicit fear of getting stapled to the floor. Once you've reached the bottom position and it's time to push, you'll give it 100% effort by default. Deads, not so much. After all, you can just let go without consequence whenever you feel like it, right? Deadlifting teaches you how to fight... and how to want it bad enough to go out and get what you want. It teaches you how to impose your will on your environment. Whenever I walk up to a 500 pound barbell, there's always a big part of me that wants no part of that nonsense (and I LOVE deadlifting). The question is, is there an even bigger part of me that does want it? This is what I mean by learning to fight for what you want, despite every cell in your body screaming, "Let go of this you idiot and your suffering will be over!" So my question to you is, do you want it more than you don't want it?

That'll take you 10 minutes and it should be easy. If it's not, you need cardio... or you're just too fat.
