“Preparation is just as important as the session itself.” - Myrik Ong (1:22)

“Preparation’s not only for exercise or for your workout. You do it day-to-day as well. Like preparing the night before for work, or a job interview, [or] a wedding speech. Just remember that you want to mentally tick all the boxes off before you head hits the pillow the night before. This is where the preparation starts. It all starts in the mind.” - Myrik Ong (4:45)

“Plan, visualise, rehearse in your head. See it, believe it, feel it. Just remember that prep starts in your mind.” - Myrik Ong (28:26)

“Minimum prep equals minimum results.” - Myrik Ong (28:35)
