"Gime? ... Oooooh...gime!" - Homer Simpson
Haven't been in a gym proper since the navy days, but generally put on my "don't talk to me" face when I did. I'm with Dana and Pico--prefer to focus on the reason I'm there. Hard rock and pump music help intensely.
I haven't lifted in forever now, so most of my working out is just done in the apartment. I do talk to myself on occasion.
