Look at yourself later. If you are truly focused, you attack the equipment with viciousness. Put everything not related to training out of your mind until the workout is over. The worst things to talk about during training are problems, as this puts you into a negative mental state. Everyone has their share of problems.
Successful people have the ability to focus on what they are doing now.
The problems will still be there for you to think about when the workout is over. Training focus should be narrow, internal. I find that it helps to put a mental time limit on a period of insanity. You now have a better mental target for your energy. Before doing the set, visualize yourself successfully completing the set in perfect form.
