Imagery is a common tool used by athletes in order to attempt to improve overall performance. Motor imagery is a mental process in which an individual rehearses a specific action which has been said to improve various athletic performance. Hypothesis: There will be an increase in peak force output and an increase in RFD when a MI script is used prior to a 1RM deadlift opposed to No MI script prior to a 1RM deadlift. Conclusion: Our results did not provide statistical significant difference although did show increases for both PF and RDF. Future research should consider focusing on a more specific population. Future research should also consider adjusting the length and style; as well as using imagery training throughout.
