You’ve no doubt heard about studies showing that meditation can reduce stress and cortisol, the muscle-eating hormone.
According to the June ’11 Health, it’s also an all-natural painkiller: “In a recent study, people who had a pain-inducing heating device placed on their legs were able to reduce the hurt by 40 percent simply by meditating.” Subjects used something called “focused attention”: “Close your eyes, breathe through your nose and concentrate on the air coming in and going out.”
Sounds as if it’s something you can do before and during a set to blast through the pain barrier and get more reps.
