What phrase do you repeat to yourself when you are conditioning to push yourself?

When I am lagging during running I say to myself 'Get your Fucking act together' and it helps me dig in deep and sometimes even helps with my times (but sometimes not).

So do you have any phrase or images that you use?

[dmon]

"She hates fat dudes."

"Don't be a romo."

"Let's go Rizzo..."

[Jubacat]

"remember what you use to look like"

i cuss at myself. lol

but like during kickboxing training when i'm in that horse stance for 3 minutes. i start thinking about my goals and i just breathe deeply and kind of meditate

[Prodigal Son]

"don't quit" "I must be crazy" "I like pain...I like pain...no I really don't" "This is only temporary..."

basically thoughts like that

[Brendon Katz]

"lets go rizzo?" wat the fuck for ?

This cracks me up.

[goldinarmz]

i do three things:

1) call myself a pussy..ie - "you fucking pussy..."...that usually works

2) i think to myself "wwwd?"...which means, "what would wanderlei do?"

3) i often envision myself training beside the best mma'ers out there...like wanderlei and randy...and when i'm sparring, it's always against them....for some reason it seems to get the competitive juices flowing

having said, i'm fat and out of shape, so don't take what i say to be very useful.

"Shut up and keep going."

Never quit.
Quitting if for losers.
And #1 is just a little farther to go. been know to use this one to run an extra mile or two!
