Also ya I used to have certain songs for dunking which hyped me up more. Like you said, when you use them when you’re most hype, brain creates a bridge between that song & releasing adrenaline etc. It’s why I also used to try and create bridges between squatting/heavy lifting and dunking: ie, thinking about dunking before my heavy squat sets and also saying the same mantras before each, etc.
One of my favorite sessions was just heavy near-training-max (~95% relaxed of TM, no psyche up) squat singles with ~2-2.5 minutes rest between each. This was actually a “mock dunk/vert session” in disguise. Before each squat i’d use similar visualization/mantras as dunking/jumping. Likewise, i’d walk around pacing, getting ready for the next effort - just like a dunk session. My dunk sessions were pretty much exactly how those MESM (maximal effort strength method according to Verk) sessions would play out. I started off at ~5 singles but eventually I would do sessions from 15-20 singles, just mirrored my improvements in dunk/jump work capacity.
Those small tools can be incredibly powerful.
As for running/sprinting however, no music lol. Music before tho
peace!
