Probably one of the greatest tools to training, motivation. We all generally stay motivated as everyone here regularly trains but we all have those days when we are having issues getting totally psyched up like we know we have been before and everything is awesome. Would anyone have any tips on manipulating motivation on those days when we miss a rep and let it drag us down or just plain aren't feeling it (assuming the person is not overtrained and just having an off day)?

A few I can think of may be music although sometimes I like training in total silence too. I think another big one for me would be posters on the wall, especially if you were training at a home gym. Inspirational posters like the classic franco deadlifting with his dog watching and I have a poster of rocky at the top of all those steps with his arms raised. How about you guys?
