So today I went lifting weights. I decided to try something a tiny bit different, but something I still experimented with before I guess. For my snatch lifts, I decided to try some very slowish music. Not super slow, but definitely not "pump up" kinda music at all. For example, this is the first song I listened to on this playlist:

And this is the last song I listened to:

And I managed to do quite well lifting. I like it, I guess it calms me down? But that's quite odd, because for most people who lift weights, they like getting all psyched up, and then listen to music to psyche themselves up more. Usually it's something like that.

And I've tried listening to stuff like that, and it pretty much doesn't help me at all. Like I can "feel" psyched, but I feel it just like, distorts my concentration, if that makes any sense. So oddly, the same music I use to like, go to bed at night to, makes me lift weights the best? Huh wha? I've got one possible explanation, I wonder if since because of NVLD, the emotional part of my brain is like, badly developed, and I can't like "run" off emotion very well.
I dunno, thoughts?
