What do you want out of the workout?
What are you training for?!?!

Drive: adhere to stimulus of workout as close as possible
Neutral: thoughtfully consider how today's workout will affect the rest of your week and make adjustments where necessary
Down shift: address and to avoid painful range of motion, focus on recovery to get back to neutral so we can get to drive

What can I expect out of myself for the workout based on how I feel TODAY.
Drive: expectation of high performance and leave feeling spent
Neutral: expectation of wanting to feel better than when I came in the gym
Down Shift: leave feeling pain free or better position then when I came in the gym
