When you have a great training session what is about the session that made it great? Was it that you hit a PB on a lift? Was it the people you trained with that made it memorable?

And when I think about it if the warm-up didn't go this way I probably wouldn't lift a PB or have that much fun regardless of the company. For example, if my hip is pinching when I hinge I probably won't add 10 lbs to my deadlift on that day. Or if I had some knee pain I probably wouldn't enjoy going for a run with a friend.
