VRT Performance and How to Maximize It

One thing that has come clear to me over many years of perfecting the VRT System in my own physical experience, is the use of self-hypnosis.

Before embarking on a maxed-out VRT workout, I purposefully relax and get into the sight, sound and touch of a grueling barbell session. Even to the point of "smelling" the sweat and cold iron smells of a real workout room. I take a few minutes to "get into state" as a psychologist would put it. This is totally immersing yourself into the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modes of the experience---put your mind, with all senses available, and your "heart" totally into the mental experience.

The more I immerse myself into this vision, and it is more than just a vision, as it takes into account feelings, sounds, touch, even smell if possible, a "state of mind" is a better way to put it --- the better the experience will be.

Coupled with the idea that whatever the particular exercise will be, I go at it as though it is the heaviest weight imaginable. Try this. This is self-hypnosis at its highest level. But be careful. It will get you burned out all too soon. Take a break for a couple days after you go through a workout like this one.
