When you lift heavy what are you saying to yourself when you lift?

some of mine for high bar squats are:
heels and hips
chest up
strong core
elbows locked
I should be squatting 1000 lbs.

what are some of yours?

    I make no form comments. :-/

    All mine involve a good bit of cursing the nicest being "you got this *kitten*!"

    Most important to me is tighten your core.

    "I hope I don't strain my lower back again" I'll start using "knees out dammit"

    I hope it's just a fart.

    Ok, that one's not every time, but important on days it is.
