Post-surgical mental skill experiment: first attempt at lifting imagery
1. Breathing exercise: 7 X 7 reps, holding
2. “Cleansing” imagery exercise (as before)
3. First attempt to lifting imagery:
a. Very hard to concentrate on the “first person” role
b. Kept seeing my back while squatting
c. Hard to feel the squat to depth (possibly because of the knee injury and different self-perception, or maybe just lack of practice, have no idea)
d. IMPORTANT: fell asleep before reaching the deadlift. Woke up feeling a cool breeze and rain outside.
