We've seen a lot of goofy pre-lift rituals. The jazz hands deadlift hype-up is one of our favorites. But what about the pre-squat barbell headbutt? The huff-and-puff tornado? The ground-stomping platform walk? The LeBron chalk clap?

We don't judge anyone; we just want to see you nail a new PR, no matter how unusual your pre-lift practices are.

This bench press setup from Greg Khoudikian is now our favorite ceremonial routine. It might even be more fun to watch than some PRs are.
